Double celebration...and a side of me you have never seen before

[Angelb]

First celebration is that this is my 1000th post, cool aye. And the second celebration is these photos were taken with my new Nikon D90 I have wanted a new camera for a long time but couldn't decide which one suited me the best. I love it! I have a lot to learn as I have mostly used P&S cameras but I love the freedom of being able to select aperture and shutter speeds etc. Now all I have to do is get out there and practise so here are some of the first pics I have taken with it so far. Hope you like them.

This is outside a country school that I pass often, I think it is a pretty cool sign.


Just around the corner from the school is this church, I like the blossoms on the trees that are out at the moment.



This is Chevy my cat.



And lastly here is a photo my husband took of me with my old P&S I'm taking a photo with my new camera.

Congratulations angelb, twice
One for 1000 posts and one for acquiring the Nikon D90.
You celebrate with a very varied set but the second is my favourite for colour, composition, light, shadow and presention, nicely done

Congratulations Angela - 1000th post and a NEW Nikon D90. You deserve both honours!!!

Well you are certainly starting well, with the new camera, even though all your other fotos have been A++++. Just love Tirau and all the signage in that town. I have plenty too of Tirau signage but will leave it to you to show off your new camera at work - and of course your skills.

Well done - Cheers, Bernz

Thanks beachcomber, I like the second one for the same reasons.

Thanks Bernz for your kind words. I drive through Tirau a lot but it wasn't until yesterday that I finally took some photos of the signage there, I still have to go back to take some more. Nikon cameras are sooo cool.

Congrats on your camera....love your shots and I can tell we are going to see a bunch of very nicely taken photographs....I like teh 2nd shot of the church but the cat shot is one of the best cat shots that I have seen.......love that splash of light in the foreground but not touching the cat. Looking forward to seeing what you will do with it
