Jason and his new toy…

So I've always wanted a DSLR and could never afford one. So this summer instead of going on holiday abroad (as I usually do every summer), I decided to invest in one. I had to settle on a budget first or else I would have gone for the Canon 550d or the lower end Canon 500d. Instead I went with the Nikon d5000.

Being new to the DSLR game I had no idea what to expect, but I did go into Jessops and had a play with it. I have had an old 35mm SLR so was used to the manual controls... to a degree, but this is another level as it also has 720p HD capabilities. I like the feel of the camera as it's quite light (in comparison to the Nikon d90) therefore making it more portable and it has a tilt screen. Wasn't sure about the tilt screen... that's until I had a little play. Anyhoo... since last week I've rediscovered my old Flickr account and Vimeo.

Here's a few photos I've taken so far:

And a video I created for a friend of his Supercharged 1330 Rover Mini:
