Flatbed

Severn St, Birmingham, August 6th

Took the D70 out for a walk on Sunday. Unlike the previous new camera day which I compared to “moving from an 100cc moped to a Ducatti” this one was a little more subtle. My now old digital camera, a Fuji S7000, mimicked the functions of a real SLR even it was just a glorified compact so the D70 doesn’t really seem that different. A couple of extra dials and buttons in different places but at the end of the day it’s the same sort of operation. Not to mention that it’s obviously similar to the manual SLRs I’ve been playing with of late. Of course it’s excellent in many ways and I’m liking the feel of it a lot, but the results haven’t been radically different. If anything they’re somewhat subdued as I’m really in test-drive mode while I get used to my new limb.

Anyway, Sunday’s photos are here, though the light was rather poor. Once I’m bedded in I expect great things.
