Well I decided to go out and buy a new camera. It's the Canon EOS 450D SLR. And it's pretty damn good! I am by no means a "wiz" on photography, but that's why I bought this camera!! Want to gain some knowledge and skills!! Anyway! I decided to try it out the evening I got it, and at about midnight when I had finished all my emails etc I went out and took some photo's of my car, and where I live etc. Hope you like! Not quite sure they're screensaver quality, but maybe in time!

My car and home 
Sandbanks (where I live in the UK) Some of you may have heard of it. It's the second, IIRC, largest natural harbour in the world. And a pretty nice and exclusive place to live. I don't think I will ever move!:

Thanks guys! Hoping to get a little more accustomed to the camera, and make use of it properly!

Nice pics, brings back memories of the early 90s when I lived near Sandbanks too (just up the hill about half a mile away). I almost bought a house on Sandbanks for 400k that would be worth about 5 or 6 million now. Regrets? Oh yeah, a few

Thanks guys!!
Gene - Thanks bro! Enjoy your new camera too!! That is actually a house bro! The flat you're maybe thinking of is on the market, and I have moved into my new place. Which is the one in these photo's
DD_545i - Wow!! Didn't think too many of you would have heard about Sandbanks, let alone have pictures!! Haha!! I take it you lived on Evening Hill then near Lilliput? That's the known "hill" around here... Or was it up towards Canford Cliffs/Branksome Park way? Tidy looking old school Supra too!!
As for the property prices... Yeah!! They're soaring sky high. It's sadly a VERY expensive place to buy... But worth every penny IMO. I also know that my house is going to appreciate in value quite a lot, so in a few years, it will be a good investment! As soon as the property market picks up again at least!
NYC530xi - Thanks bro! As for the quote. I honestly can not remember
I'm racking my brain trying to think!! I have a feeling it was actually a friends status on Facebook and I took it from there. I can't remember for sure though!!
