New camera!

October 2nd, 2008

Nikon D80I bought a Nikon D80 camera on Monday, and am now spending a good part of my afternoons walking around the city like a lost tourist - lost, because I’m constantly digging out the manual to work out how to work one setting or another. I look so much like a tourist that a kindly Melbournian tried to help the confused Asian tourist that I appeared to be.

Taking photos with a complicated camera is so much fun! Not only do I get to fiddle with lots of settings, but I can almost always be sure that the photos will turn out nice by using more or less of the automatic settings. So long, that is, as I remember to do elementary things like flicking on the autofocus switch. Here are a couple of photos that I’ve uploaded to Wikimedia commons :
