Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

No photos, but I did get my new DSLR in the mail yesterday. I've only done some test shots in my apartment but wow, it's worth every penny. The image stabilizing lens let me take a hand-held 1/6th second low light exposure that only showed tiny levels of camera shake when zoomed 100%. The detail annihilates my previous digital cameras, and that's with the relatively cheap lens it came with. The camera body isn't even that big. Even the flash is significantly better. Anyway I'm excited to try it out in Hawaii in just over a week from now.

That's very exciting! Really glad to know it is money well spent, I hope you enjoy it.

Oh come on - how about some photos this week with the new camara?  Hawaii is easy :-)

Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner - that I moved to Nice.

Well, maybe for next Wednesday's blog. I have a workable grasp of the controls / menus / info screens now after taking about 100 experimental shots last night.
