Greetings all.
I've been taking photos for about 4 years now but in the last 6 months I've hit a bit of a roadblock and have been getting a bit frustrated and bored. I class myself as a 'landscape' photographer, but lately have struggled to find anything nearby that I havn't already taken photos of.
So I'm looking to expand a bit, focus on some different areas, start getting up earlier to get the decent light, join some groups (*wave*), meet some people and eventually move closer to the city again (in the northern suburbs of the shore atm...).
So. I'm thinking of inspiring a new wave of..uhh.. inspiration with a new body. I'm currently making do with a D50, but I'm looking at a D300s or D700 quite likely. Question 1 - why the hell do we pay so much here compared to Oz (and the states). I can get a D700 for almost $2k cheaper from B&H Photo than from the non-parallel dealers here. How can people afford to buy from them? Question 2 - there is no Question 2.
So anyway, long rambly post. hi :envy:
