There was another idea from the beginning, but we had some wine so i couldn’t drive to the place i wanted to take the shots. But i got great results.
Equipment.
Nikon D40
17-55 kit lens.
Tripod.
So i use a dSLR camera almost on a daily bases, and i role with a Nikon D40, for me a Nikon has been the one and only choice and i think thats still the case. But today Canon took a step forward in the dSLR arms race by announcing the EOS 50D. The 15-megapixel prosumer model is the company’s first to sport the new DIGIC 4 processor, promising features like peripheral illumination correction, ISO sensitivity of up to 12,800!!!!, a 3-inch, 920,000 dot LCD, Live View (thats when you use the LCD as a view finder), a self-cleaning system, and loads of more features.
(The prize is on release 1.400$, October 2008) and in Europe it will go for something like 1.450€ thats just the camera without any lens. Well the goodies did not stop there, they also released a new EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens for just 700$ or yes you guessed right 750€ (Way more expensive in Europe) So get both and start your photo career today.
I just got addicted, worse than ever i mean i love photography but i think I’m on the edge on real addiction. Today i learned some sweet stuff in photoshop, i also bought a new lens for my Nikon D40 (50mm f1.8) i can’t find words for the stokedness in the optics (and in me)
This weekend i also played around with the Nikon Kit Lens, 18-55mm i like it to, but hey you can’t compare it to the fixed optics, and the best part is that the cameras might change over the years but you will always have your Lenses. I borrowed my dads old Nikkor lenses from the 80′s and they preform very well, you have my word. I’ll try to post some images so you can see what over 20 year old lenses are worth. 
During the mean time enjoy my NYC miniature and i do daily updates on my Flickr stream I have had my Nikon D40 for a while now and just give me a small hint if you would like me to review it for you, because i would love to do it! Well have a happy morning and enjoy your morning coffee – Over n’ Out
