Firstish shots - D90!

With everyone getting new bodies, I think that separate section for you to proudly display your first image from your new acquisition is in order.

This applies to brand new bodies, as well as bodies that are simply newly acquired by you.

Firstish shots - D90!

Postby FrankieP on Tue Apr 06, 2010 1:21 pm

After a year of learning and playing with my beloved D40, I upgraded a short while ago to the fabulous D90 - here are some shots from my first day with her. Unfortunately due to an act of profound foolishness don't have the Very First Image anymore - I formatted my card after first filling it without checking the pics had copied over to my computer fully and for some reason it had stopped during the transfer and I'd not realised. I think I still have the bruise on my forehead from my epic facepalm that day!

I'm only a learner so nothing too wondrous I'm afraid, but it was lovely driving around in the hills behind Brisbane and we were lucky that the rain stopped for half an hour just as we passed that barn. I nearly walked right into that freaky ass spider whilst nearing the barn, and ended up taking more shots of him than of my intended subject!

Actually the rain of that day and the following 2 weeks gave me a heck of a lot to shoot over the following few days - my home of Charleville flooded whilst I was away, along with most of SW Queensland. It took me 3 days to reach home due to all the flooding along the way, and I spent a lot of time whilst trapped away from home shooting the carnage.. very happy to have had my new camera! I've popped in one of those down the bottom.

Thanks, BigG! Christmas spider, huh? Dunno that I'd like a little surprise like that lurking beneath my Chrissy tree! :shock:

Next time you have a formatting 'incident' keep in mind that it's relatively easy with the right software to recover the photos from the formatted card. Until you've refilled the card with new photos that is...

I love the third one the most! For the first pic, i think it's a bit over-contrast and it's too bright for me. anyway nice pictures! :cheers:
