Wanting to try out my new camera properly, I volunteered to travel from the south coast of England up to Dumfries in Scotland - a round trip of around 16 hours - just to install one computer. So, the plan was two days of travelling, an hour or so of installing, and the best part of a day photographing. However, as the server ended up taking from 10am to about 4:30pm due to network problems, the following were taken during an extended lunch break while I was trying to figure out what the hell was going wrong...

As the new camera has not only a 10x optical zoom (the same as a good pair of binoculars, and better than my 8x25 binoculars I carry in my backpack) but also lots of new settings for taking landscapes, portraits, action shots, night shots etc., it might look like there are a number of near-duplicate pictures as I play around with the settings. There are also a lot of photographs of birds on a river...

Up on another install

The old version of the website broke galleries into separate pages and directories, and required an introduction page just to show up in the list.  This is no longer the case, but to avoid dead search engine links here's a quick overview of some of the photos in the Norfolk 2003 collection!

There are 14 galleries in this section.

Wrapping up our holiday in Hunstanton, Norfolk with a final trip to King's Lynn.

"Norfolk's Loveliest Village" apparently.  Certainly a very nice, picturesque place with some good shops.

It's Wells, the one next to the sea.  And that means lots of boat pictures.

Holkham Hall is a lovely stately home with deer, lakes, and some great statues inside and out.  But I think we were most interested in the nesting house martins under the eaves of the shop.

Around the old buildings and museums of King's Lynn, including the Custom House which was doubled as part of Dutch New York in the 1985 movie Revolution.

Another family trip to Newark to do the trip down the river we didn't get time for the first time we went!

Just a few pics in and around Chichester.  Plenty of the Cathedral including trying to find the best setting to capture the sunset.
