This is actually the default category where posts are when they do not fit any or if I have been too quick or lazy to set it.

Consumerism

That’s it, I got a new camera, a Nikon D7000 with the NIKKOR 18-200 VR II kit 😉

First, I had to book it and the only store that was able to deliver it (quickly) doesn’t accept credit cards and the cost was higher than my debit card’s limit, so a cash withdrawal was necessary:
Money for my new toy

In return, I received this:

And of course, the new lens size (72 mm) required new filters,

So I chose a polarizing in addition of the classical Ultra-Violet (which I always use to protect the lens against shocks).

New camera (unpacked)

It took two hours and a half to charge the battery, which seemed forever.

I took a few inside pictures, but for most of them I noticed a slight problem: most of the objects I was trying to photograph were dusty!

Quite funny… my D50 is almost dying; did it know it was about to be replaced?

The fist picture taken with it is my stairway:

Strasbourg

My first week end in Strasbourg since I came back from down under.

The train was half a hour late due to a routing problem and an awful storm on the way; it was so cold!

At least, we could enjoy a Chinese fondue with Christian & Eric and I had to opportunity to test some lenses on my camera.
