K and the Nikon D50.
21May06

I have been wanting to get a decent digital camera for some time now; the mobile phone’s I have been using are not cutting it anymore. After Fadi posted about his camera for sale, I decided that I needed a new camera. Talked to the resident Photo-Guru Mark who pointed me in the direction of the Nikon D50. A couple cancelled orders, pricematchs, misplaced shipping and the slow-slow-slow-shipping of Aramex .. It is finally here.
I have no idea how to use this thing; so don’t expect amazing pictures overnight.
First (decent) picture:


Mabrook!
I have to admit I’m a tad jeleous though!

Where is the monkey?
Its not the camera that makes a picture, its the person behind it.
