I’ve just shoved a bunch of me finest images taken over the last few months on my website here – get ‘em while they’re hot!

A little taster…

NIKON D90 : FIRST FRUITS

Hiatus – that’s a weird word, innit? Sounds sort of medical and ominous, as in, “Mr.Smith, I’m afraid you have a hiatus – we’ll have to eviscerate.“

Well, here I am, back, on Christmas Day, which is by tradition in my household utterly depressing, and this year is no exception. In fact it has outdone itself spectacularly this time around, but enough wallowing in misery – otherwise some of it will spill over the edge of the tub!

Because how can the world be a totally dark and soulless place when you have a Nikon D90? Yes, I have recently relinquished my trusty entry-level D50, which has served me well these last four years, and acquired one of these beauties, and here I am to share with you some of the first fruits.

I haven’t fully mastered the advanced features of this fine machine yet, or even some of the basic ones, but still the results are pretty good, especially the monochrome.

First up, a colour moon shot taken with a 200mm zoom lens, sans tripod:

Here’s a nice portrait of a certain Mr.Itoh, who may not be named for legal reasons. Doh!

Next comes some humble apartment lights made interesting by angle and monkeying with the white balance:

Back to the BW for this next effort:

More clouds taken on the same day as the previous shot:

Here’s another experiment with high ISO and weird white balance, transforming a regular park bench into something more arty:

Finally back to the moon:

Not bad, huh?
