Update on my new camera

2006-04-07T06:39:00.000-07:00

I'm getting to grips with the D200 and have been shooting like crazy to try and learn all it's features!!

I've also started both a PBase and a Nikonians account so I can store all my images as well as on my own web.

The only images on my web are Birds so far.

(There is also a permanent link to my web images on the right of this page)

For a sample daffodil image on PBase See here

For my Nikonians Gallery See Here

I chose PBase as it has a facility for viewers to see the EXIF data of the shot if they are interested enough

Waiting for Spring (and my Nikon D200!)

2006-03-09T12:47:00.000-08:00

Over on my general Blog Third Eye , I spoke about the lust known as NAS
(Nikon Acquisition Sydrome). Well the time is fast approaching when I will
order MY new camera and lenses.

Much as I liked the old one HP945 (5 Mpixels), I've just outgrown it.

I am really pleased to be getting the new one at this time of year. Seems to me each morning
I go out there are even more birds singing...they know Spring is coming ;-)

Not the best shot in the world, I'll admit.

But saw this Dipper (or Water Ousel) during
my 5 mile walk in the Pentlands today

If you know that part of the world, it was by the
stream that runs between the two reservoirs

And....you can park your car 5 metres from
where this shot was taken!

Really nice shot....in spite of the birds ...lol

This is a shot of swans galore!!

Spring IS coming!

North Berwick East Beach - walk today

2006-02-04T12:01:00.000-08:00

Took a walk along North Berwick east beach today. The weather was fantastic (if a little cold)
The shot below shows the correct time in the afternoon on North Berwick clock on the High Street.

You can just see the moon rising

I so wish I had my new camera and lenses!!!!
This is, I believe, a pair of Bar Tailed Godwits.

You should have seen the shots I'd have got when I get my new camera....lol

(see here)
Here is view of some of them;-)

Duddingston Loch this morning - 28th Jan 2006...
God, you really did make a beautiful place !

Duddingston Loch Week II

2006-01-28T12:20:00.000-08:00

I had some spare time today, and took my camera to Holyrood Park.

It was not the best of days, and more than once I wished it was March so I could shoot with soon to be acquired Nikon D200 .

Still, patience is a virtue...as my Grannie would say.....hehehe

These are, I believe, Chinese Bean Geese...if I'm wrong, please correct me!

Magnificant swan....

This is a bit of a cheat.....

The Tufted Duck was snapped at the top Loch in Holyrood (sorry...don't know the name of the loch)

Well is'nt really a loch...more of a pond :-)

On Duddingston today were a number of wildfowl.....there must have been 20 heron...tufted duck, Goldeneye..Widgeon.....and of course Mallard;-)

God help me....I'm climbing the Pentlands tomorrow...again!!!

My domestic manager believes exercise will help her to reach "target weight".....and I have to help!

Trouble is I climb the ****ing hills no problem and have to wait for her to catch up!!!

Still, all in the name of domestic harmony...and maybe one day I'll snap the buzzatds....=8-)

Panorama of the Pentlands today

2006-01-21T09:11:00.000-08:00

All too healthy by half , but beautiful day ;-)

Hill Walk in the Pentland Hills

2006-01-07T06:04:00.000-08:00

I took a walk with my wife this morning over the Pentland Hills. I caught sight of a Grey Heron on Glencorse Reservoir. not the best shot in the world, but never mind, it's a good excuse to get a better camera ;-)

...and better still

2006-01-02T13:02:00.000-08:00

Tablet Art

2006-01-01T09:28:00.000-08:00

Santa was very kind this Year and brought me a Wacom Graphics Tablet. Unless you know what they are you wouldn't know that they allow you, amongst other things, to draw straight into a program like Paint Ship Pro.

This is my first little trial. Drawing is not too good, but I'm sure I'll get better ;-)

Happy New Year to everyone out there and I wish you all health and happiness!!

By the way, I still prefer Scottish Tablet ;)

This is an interesting photo, taken in 1999 on a 35mm camera. Even then, I saw digital coming (it takes a while for things to get to Scotland sometimes;-)) so I had the film processed to JPEG on CD

Spaceship Graphic

2005-11-25T07:02:00.000-08:00

This is a graphic created in Paint Shop Pro version X

I've exported it to a GIF file and resized to make it a manageable size on the blog.

I've been spending some time learning the graphic side of PSP. I'm an amateur, in that I don't do photo retouching or graphics for a living.

However, I really do believe PSP is good value for money over Photo Shop.....many will disagree ;-)
