Got me a new camera!

Finally pulled the plug on a new camera and boy am I glad that I did! Went with the Nikon D7000 and let me tell you, it's is a significant step up from my old D40. Of course with a raft of new features it also comes with a pretty substantial manual and I'm still working my way through the 330 pages of it (all English). The feature I am loving most at the moment is the internal focusing motor in the body meaning that I'm getting so much more use out of my 50mm f/1.4 and my new 105mm f/2.8.

Hopefully I should be able to get some more stuff up in the coming days as I've been a bit slack lately. Anyway here's what I've got so far:

First up was taken with my 105mm micro at ISO 100, 105mm, f/11, 1/250 sec
Dandelion seeds

Second with my 50mm 1.4 at ISO 100, 50mm, f/1.4, 1/5000 sec

Finally, this one at ISO 100, 50mm, f/1.4, 1/1600 sec

Phew.. 16mp files take a lot longer to upload than 6mp!
