Nikon's Own Version of Photoshop? Not Quite

Today Nikon announced that they wish to expand their current industrial activities to also include pharmaceutical, quasi-pharmaceutical and cosmetics. Although it is far removed from making VR lenses and camera bodies, their current work also includes sport optics, precision equipment and scientific instruments.

Pharmaceuticals and cosmetics sounds like pills and makeup (Nikon could just release their own version of photoshop to hide blemishes!) but looking at the lineup of Nikon already in existence my money's on the design and manufacture process as opposed to them making their own Nikon Facial Scrubs and Nikon Eau d'Toilette - leave that for the celebrities of this world who are clearly very strapped for cash and need a little income boost!

Message regarding recent posts disappearing...

Hi all!

Those of you who frequent this blog regularly will have noticed today that several posts with the tags "Tamron" and "Tamron 70-300mm Macro" have disappeared. I'm not quite sure why this happened but I suspect it was my fault. I was doing some work behind the scenes if you like and I think I deleted them...

Nikon D7000

Wahoo! Finally got my new baby - a brand new spanking Nikon D7000! Am I chuffed? well, take a guess! 


I'm still trying to learn this new beast of a camera (of which the quickest shutter speed is 1/8000 sec and a maximum ISO of over 25000) Truly staggering numbers, fitting of a staggering camera body! 


I've spent the day snapping away today in somewhat miserable weather conditions (it's been moody and overcast all day, with a splattering of light drizzle) but that hasn't stopped me. 

Nikon D800

Wow, the rumours are spreading fast on Twitter today about the new Nikon D800. An official announcement is due within the next 2 months or so (possibly sooner) but who knows with Nikon.

They've recently released the newer updated processer the "Expeed 3" duel core processor in their new interchangable lens camera the Nikon 1. Will the D800 have the same amazing piece of kit or another even better one.
Why? Because speculation puts the D800 at a whopping 36 megapixel sensor. Either way, which ever way you look at it, its big! And so is the price... an estimated ¥300,000, or £2543.18 or $3912.92
It ain't cheap, but cheaper then Nikon's current D3X and D3S sitting squarely inbetween the D700 (currently approx £1849.95) and the D3S (currently approx £3594)
Not too shabby, but still, not exactly cheap....

Pastures New

OK,

Its been well over a year since I was last on here. Looking back over the whole blog I don't really like it and maybe thats the reason why. Perhaps its because I have been busy with other projects, perhaps I've been lazy. Who knows. Either way the point is that I'm going to try to redesign the blog and start posting again.

As for the redesign, I'm not sure if it will be a huge difference, or whether or not it will simply be a few tweeks. You'll just have to check back to find out! As for the posting, I'm not making any promises that the posts will be every day (in fact once a week is probably a much more realistic target to aim for).

Anyway, by November I will have been running this blog for three years and its about time it actually became interesting!

So hope to see you folks again real soon

Bye for now!

Changes

As some of you are aware, I have been fiddling again. There are some more noticable changes which have taken place (such as the background and the two columns running down the posts). On top of this, I have removed a few things and added others - like the recent comments widget and the search box.

It seems quite stable now, its certainly much better than it used to be. If you experience any problems with the new settings, let me know and I'll see what I can do to fix them.

Since the weather has been quite pants recently, I figured I'd change a few behind the scenes things, rather than post crap pictures.

Let me know if there are any problems!

Cheers
