"because Nikon is a Japanese company" OK, I deserved that one but it's not what I really meant, since it is just a small file and distribution is not an issue, you would have thought that it would be available at all the various Nikon sites. ANyway, thanks all. David

Does anyone know why it is not released 'all around the world' and only in Asia first? I guess it doesn't matter where it comse from? Seems like I have had my D70 about the same amount of time as dbgrafix (doug? hope I have that right), so I am cautious as well, Camera was bought with no need to upgrade firmware until now. ohh and some people mentioned (not here but elsewhere) that it is worth waiting a bit for any bugs to be ironed out, any ideas? Thankyou Kindly, David

Congrats !!!!!!!!!!!

Bit late on this one but thanks for the link and stuff everyone, a 'new' D70 user, I shall take a bit of time to read up on how to do it, but it seems worth doing. David

Hi, great stories, it's good to hear how other people get their shots and the quirky little things that happen. I always find myself watching other people using their cameras when you are at a park or a zoo or something, and I always try to guess what camera they have. Lots of fun. :) David

Good to know that even the pros sometimes make minor mistakes. Something makes me think you got a perfect shot as well :)

Fun tv shot !! I know exactly where that one was taken. I did a study of the architect who installed the ecology gallery that it is part of, Great capture!

Cheers, thanks, I took a look, but my german is not very good. The constitution was gonna be my first guess but I didn't want to get it wrong. There is alot of interesting new architecture in that area. I have a few pics of the buildings opposite across the water, when I was there they were still under construction. What I mean to say instead of ranting on, is Great shots :)

Excellent shot, you have me racking my brains now. I went on an office trip to berlin last year, we walked past this, I have a couple of pics but I can't remember what it is called, or the reason for the writing on the glass, arrrggg :) Great Shot !!

Cool shot, I was at uni in Portsmouth, and going back there in September. Been on the hovercraft a few times, definitely fun.!

well, thank you all for your very kind comments. I'm glad I posted it now. I'll be sure to post more pics and start commenting on others work as well. I still use my old Fuji 40i but I bought a D70 80-70mm kit, 100 cashback was enough to buy me the 70-300G lens for 99. The moon was very bright, left on auto settings it was very over exposed. Shutter speed was higher because I took the shot handheld. I have a tripod and a remote but no matter what I did the shutter release was enough to blur the shot each time, my tripod is way to flimsy for such a heavy camera. Thanks David
