I'm so pleased about my new camera!
Thank you Mum and Dad!

I wouldn't have it if it weren't for my inpending National Diploma course in Photography at Harlow starting in September.

Nikon D40 with the standard 18-55mm lens.

And whilst on holiday I saw a manual Tamron 55-200mm lens. Just incase it doesn't make sense, by manual I mean that there's no auto focus which occasionally has it's set backs, but I didn't have an extra £100 for the one with.

I've managed to get some great shots with the Tamron, including the two of the RNLI practice (the helicopter and h.copter/lifeboat combo)
