New Camera, New Models

Fri Feb 29, 2008, 3:16 PM
Well, things in wintry Dundee have been quite quiet since UFC, with not a whole lot photography-wise happening. Although, with hindsight, I suppose more than happens most terms has been going on!

I've been doing a fair bit of sports work, rugby and hockey, and may have secured a job for next term taking photos for the university's sports union, which is relatively awesome!

Got a rugby match tomorrow, which is nothing spectatular, but it means I get to play with my new toy, whcih arrived a month early today... a well-used and battle scarred D2H!! It's ex-Stephen Davison (the bike togs out there may know who he is) and it's a hell of a step up from the D50, especially with it's 8fps, 1/8000 speeds and 11-point autofocus!

In other news, ya'll may have noticed some more modelling stuff appearing in the gallery - I haven't done any since last summer, and when the wonderful Catriona and Nicole emailed me through my account on modelmayhem.com, I couldn't say no! Some more of them to still go online.

That's about it really... next big trip is the Le Mans 24hr race at the end of April, then 2 weeks of uni, home for the North West 200, TT, and the start of a very busy season of bikes!!!

Yay I love, and have owned several, old pro-cameras.

Can't believe you've one of his beasts. Don't think I'd use it, just sit and look at it.

11 point AF.......... hehe you know what I'm gonna say dontcha ;)

Went to Le Mans last April for hol, doubt I'll go this year tho. 3.5 weeks 'til Snett BSB test day!

Lol I know, I've got loads of prints of his on my bedroom wall and keep looking at them and thinking "wow, my new camera took those!"

Can't wait for Le Mans, after doing the Bol d'Or - bike racing at night is surreal! Lol - 3.5 weeks - not counting down or anything? I can't wait either, although with no Mondello I dunno what ones I'll make it to - Steve Plater tells me every time I see him to go to Caldwell, though, so finances permitting, that may be a plan.

Well let me know, although I must say I think Oulton is better. Cadwell is a little limited unless you want millions of Mountain shots, and the facilities are pap.

Let me know if you are coming over man and although I can't help with accom (I sleep in my car) I can show you around.

thanks mate! i'm not sure what the situation will be, like i said - depends on finances! plus it depends on stephen thompson - i'll see what rounds he'sdoing too (it might even get me a free lift over lol!)

any chance of you venturing over our way?

Being self employed is a double edged sword when it comes to time off work......
