Quick update! Got the new lens yesterday off Stephen - a 80-200mm f2.8 Nikkor!! I'm in looooove!!

AND - the passes for both UFC and British Superbikes came through! Off now to Belfast for the UFC, then on to DUblin for BSB. Can't wait!!

Well... Just back from the IOM, and my trip for the TT, which was... interesting to say the least! From a photo point of view, it was awesome, and I got some really excellent pics which I'm really pleased with (and shall upload on here asap). However... managed to break both my laptop (which WAS 2 and a half years old anyway...) and my 70-300 Sigma lens. Fortunatly, Stephen Davison (some of you know who he is!) has promised me a second hand Nikkor of his, so hopefully collecting it on Friday. THis weekend is looking quite busy, as well, with UFC in Belfast on Saturday night (IF I can get accredited... the only people who will are blacklisted by the UFC lol) and then Mondello Park BSB on Saturday (whose press officer I can't get hold of...). So, minus the inaptitude of press officers worldwide and the huge hole in my bank account, all is well!!

So... Just finished my first term in Uni, and got not much to do for a few days, although I might upload some more shots from last Saturday's North West 200. The day was my first proper road race with the new D50, and it was excellent! Makes such a difference over the (still great) Fuji S5000.

Off again a week today for the Isle of Man for the TT, which hopefully will give me the opportunity to take a couple of thousand photos - if I can take 500 in a day, what can I do in 2 weeks? Lol

The goverment are trying to making photography in public places a crime, in an attempt to shop paedos and the paparazzi!!

If the bill is passed then you will have to apply for a special licence to take photographs in public, no matter who you are and what you're taking pictures of!!

So sign the petition whether you take photos or not. It is a silly idea. It's a little tedious, you have to follow a link from an email they send you, but it's worth it!!

THERE NEEDS TO BE 750,000 SIGNTURES ON IT TO STOP IT GOING THOUGH!!

PLEASE REPOST THIS!!
