Is it only me or does one always get so immersed in work as an IT specialist? Instead of reading a good novel I tend to read books on Java etc. Afraid of my geekieness getting the better of me I decided to take up a new, or rather old hobby again: photography.

After taking my small camera (a Rollei) along everywhere I went I noticed that it wasn’t really up to the task as it didn’t have a normal view finder. Camera manufactureres somehow thought it would be better to just stick to the 2.5″ LCD screens instead of having both… try and take a picture in the gleaming sun with only a LCD screen! You’ll be guessing what picture you took…

So finally a few days ago my new camera arrived: a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ7! When the parcel arrived I couldn’t believe how small it was! It turned out to be more compact than I had imagined. After opening it and examening the content I knew this was the right buy. The camera is not too small but not too bulky to carry around almost everywhere you go either.

Now well equipped for my photographic adventures I will never leave the house without my new toy and of course I’ll continue uploading new images to my Flickr photo page.

Its been a busy few weeks… I am leaving my current job to go freelancing and I am pretty excited about being my ‘own boss’. Forming ones own company can be a daunting experience if you don’t know where to start! Thanks to a recommendation of a good friend of mine I’ll be going with a limited company setup and use secreterial services offered by a specialised company to take all the admin off me. So far so good. Now I am just waiting to hear back from the Companies House…

As if that weren’t enough, I finally made up my mind about getting a new digital camera! I chose the Panasonic DMC-FZ7BB.
