Looks good Chris.

That is taken with the D50 at 62mm focal length. Set the date as it is incorrect, showing 5/1/2005

Did you get that from the EXIF info Quad?

i have alot to learn!

Time and date now changed

been sorting out all the goodies i got with it - useful stuff i would have otherwise had to buy.

They put 1980 HKD on the invoice... which is a hundred quid... which is why i probably didnt have to pay the full 17.5% VAT value of the camera which would have been more than a hundred quid.

Am slowly loading some photos up on there.

I have to say, i am so incredibly impressed with this camera - it is truly superb.

But

I just had the scariest moment of my entire life. I heard the worst sound ever.

The sound was my less than 2 day old D50 being kicked down the stairs by my 16 year old sister. *****

It seems ok so far though, fingers crossed.

I went out to day - spent 12 hours out with a couple mates who are also camera freaks like me and we took near a thousand photos between us. It was good fun - went to a cool tree in Blackmoor, Greatham church (in ruins), Blackmoor Church, Army Shooting Range, Roundabout near the A3, Tesco, Bridge over the A3... and more. Great day!

If you keep checking over the coming days you will see more and more images pop up hopefully.

Some nice pics in your Deviant gallery Chris.....

 

[ChristopherP]

Thanks Crazy...

Will sort through most of them tomorrow and get some more up there.

Will see though as hanging out with this cool hot girl from work hopefully.

I'll let you know when there are more up.

I think the hot girl is more urgent,.

just a quick note,. don't be in a rush to buy another lens,. the 18-70 is very good (amazing for the price point even) get to know the camera and experiment,. sometimes having just one lens helps you to focus more and think creativly

I actually got the lens for free in the end... they forgot to charge me for it...

Saved myself a nice £80
