With all the £££'s I've saved from stopping smoking, I went out and got another camera the other day!

Now, in addition to my Nikon F65 SLR and Fuji compact digital, I now have a Nikon D50 D-SLR. I opted for that over the very similar spec'd Minolta cos the lenses I have for my "ordinary" SLR fit and work on the D50! Bonus!!

Still learning how to "drive" it yet, so it may be a while before there's any posts from it!

I had no real reason to post this, other than to SHOW OFF!! (Yup, that's 7 whole weeks with no ciggies!!)

Well, these are the first few pics from my new camera - hope you like.

The first one is of an Episcopalian Church I pass when I take my daughter to school; this was "snatched" out the car window, just before the lights changed!!

This one is of blocks of flats (apartments?) that are part of the area where I work. (At one time, they were the highest accommodation buildings in Europe!)

My daughter took this while we were parked at the side of the road.

This is one of a few I took while I was waiting for my daughter to get her pony ready....... the farrier knew I was there, but his concentration never faltered for a second.

Kinda important, as the shoes are about 800°F at this point!

This one I took on on Monday night...... I saw the sunset as I was driving to do herself's horses. I took it just as I my grip on the barbed wire fence was starting to go, hence it's a bit blurred! (Ripped two fingers a bit, too, but c'est la vie!!)

Hope to get some others re-sized in the next day or two.
