bought a dslr
i knew once i commited to selling my film slr, it wouldn’t be long before i purchased a digital slr. i bought the nikon d70s on the weekend and it’s amazing. the speed and handling are better than my film camera and i can ‘afford’ to shoot more than a roll a week. the weight and size of it are great. i can shoot sequences now (skateboard/snowboard/action shots). i’m taking this camera with me everywhere now so that i can catch opportunities when i see them.
the d70s is a great choice for me. it’s enough of a camera to give me more than enough options to take great photos. i considered the new d200, but it’s $1300+ to get it. if i was a pro or shooting photos for a job, then maybe it would make sense.
next time you see me, ask me to see it…so i can take your picture for my collection.

Congratulations. I have my d70 for almost two years now. Took a lot of pictures and don’t feel like swaping it for something newer yet.

[…] i got 3rd place in the “best photo/art blog” category! i’m extremely pleased with that finish, given the competition i was up against. daily dose of imagery and photojunkie are my 2 favorite photobloggers - i check them daily - and to be considered in a competition along side them is very flattering. i know my photography has improved a lot in the past year since i got my dslr.

[…] Most people don’t care much about the camera in their phone, but I do. Photography is a hobby and passion of mine and I always make sure I have a camera with me at all times. Mostly I carry my DSLR around with me. If that’s too big, I’ll have my Canon A610 point & shoot. If I don’t have room to carry that, I’ll at least have a phone in my pocket with a camera. And there have been times where I’m so glad I at least had a camera in my pocket to capture some important moments. As such, I expect the quality of the image to be very good - likely more than the average person cares about. […]
