New camera

Given the volume of pictures that I’ve been taking, I decided to buy a new camera and ultimately selected a Nikon D90. This is a significant upgrade versus my previous digital camera (a six-year-old Olympus), so I’m looking forward to using it a lot during my future travels.

After finally getting through the instruction manual (it’s 300 pages) and prepping the camera accordingly, I decided to take it out for some test shots today. The biggest difference that I noticed was that the zoom is pretty incredible. The camera actually came with two lenses (an 18-135mm and a 70-300mm) and I didn’t even try to larger lens with the stronger zoom yet.

Here are some of the pictures that I took.

















Later in the afternoon, the weather took a bit of a turn...
