Welcome to the family.

Today I gained three items and handed over one.

I now have a Nikon D300 camera which I am already waiting to try out on someone. I may have an interested party tomorrow afternoon. Fingers crossed. The camera is a big step up from my two D200’s and the preview monitor has to be seen to be believed.

In order to get the following I traded in one of my Nikon D200 cameras. The good news is I got the exact same amount as what I paid for it in August this year.

I got the MB-D10 battery grip for the D300 as without it my cameras feel like toys. By using rechargeable AA lithium batteries (as well as the camera’s internal battery) I can blast away at 8 fames per second.

And finally a new lens joins the others in my bag. The Sigma 10-20 4-5.6 wide angle. This is a great lens and will be used heavily at my Wedding and Trash the Dress sessions.

The following photographs were taken with the above combination on a walk around the block at home. All images are straight out of camera and not edited apart from resizing for the blog.

Utterly jealous. Tempted to break into my savings fund and just go get one (then I need a nice lens and a flashy bit too).
