Hello from Edinburgh

cigrainger · Jan 29, 2009

Well... really, hello again. I've been off for a while, really focusing on schoolwork and not shooting as much as I should be. I got tied up in film gear that I didn't have the time or money for, and just recently decided to sell it off and upgrade. I have a Pentax K10D on its way to replace my K100D, a camera that I loved but had too short of a battery life and too many dust problems for me to ever be comfortable with. There is a 16-45mm f/4 lens on its way as well, and it will be joining my Pentax SMC-M 28/2.8, 50/1.7, and 135/3.5. All great lenses. I may be putting them on the evil auction site to upgrade to SMC-A equivalents, because they play with the digital bodies a bit better.

I like to shoot street photography, cityscapes, and travel. I'm an American who goes to school in Edinburgh and I take whatever chances I have to get elsewhere in Europe, and like to take my camera with me. Hopefully I'll be posting a whole bunch of photos in the subforums below once the new gear rolls in.

For now, hello again, and I'm looking forward to giving this hobby the attention it deserves once again. Here's a view of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival:

Here are a couple from my recent trip to Stockholm:
