Hello from Wallasey on Merseyside

[pbrstreetgang]

Hi all, name is Phil and i live in Wallasey on Merseyside, UK (just south of Liverpool )

Entered the world of Sony dslr`s all of 3 days ago after picking up a boxed A200 kit, even better as it was under £150!! Normally a Fuji user but dont hold that against me please

Very keen on the local maritime movements as i live very close to the River Mersey, I am a forum admin on shipais.com (realtime uk ship tracking), had some pics published last year, 1 on the front page of local paper after a near miss on the mersey ferries and some in various shipping magazines.

While waiting for the A200 to arrive i had a good look around online and this seemed to be one one of the better places to be

Looking forward to taking part

Welcome Phil,
I too have just joined this forum, though have been actively involved in many others like this for a long time. I have the A200, and in my opinion it is one of the most understated cameras out there. I have three Sony's, though the A200 is my camera of choice for my Fogo Island landscapes, as you may have seen on the "Welcome" post directly under yours.
To give you an idea of what this fine camera is capable of, check out my work at http://www.focusonnewfoundland.com

Well, one 'welcome' reply here and two new members in one thread! Yes, the forums are growing fast right now but we don't have much trolling. Generally an open-minded and usefully interacting bunch of bored Alpha users killing time here...

Welcome to the forum! You're in the right place and, I must say, you've got nice work on your blog there! The picture at top is gorgeous, and I can't wait to see what you do with your new kit. Everyone dropping by should give your site a look.
