Great shot of a friend of mine playing guitar with a well used blue pick.

Ok, so yep. Photographers worst nightmare next to batteries running out during a special event. Dropping the camera. If i'm honest it didn't drop as a result of slippery fingers but because the tripod I was using wasn't properly secure. Doh!

After years of faithful service to me, my old and now gone FujiFilm s6500fd has been replaced with the new hotness, the Nikon D5000: http://www.nikonusa.com/Find-Your-Nikon/Product/Digital-SLR/25452/D5000.html I opted for this camera because i’m not quite ready for the full on experience of the mid-range SLR’s and also because after reading endless amounts of reviews from people who actually know what there talking about it seemed good value for the money they were asking for. Being quite new to taking photography serious, it seemed sensible to opt for this. The alternatives to this camera in the same range were of course the Canon Rebel T1i(500D) and the Olympus E-620, which even though have larger sensor sizes, around 15MP compared to the D5000’s 12MP, the actual quality of photo’s i’m told look better.... go figure! http://www.cameralabs.com/reviews/Canon_EOS_500D_Digital_Rebel_T1i/verdict.shtml What’s my experience been with it so far? Well i’ve had the camera now for wel...
