Nikon S9100 Coolpix and other bits and bobs



Ok so I ditched my Panasonic Lumix and purchased a Nikon S9100 and can I just say Daido Moriyama uses this camera. Him along with Lewis Hines are my two biggest influences in photography.
Bought secondhand off ebay for £50, which is slightly more than I was hoping to spend.
Took it out for a test run today with some good results.  The zoom is really good, not that I will be using it that much and at full zoom still maintains good resolution.  Never really been into cameras.  I hate it when people go on about fancy cameras.  I get bored really quick.  "I dont want to know about ya camera mate,  I want to know about your pictures"  My early pictures were nearly all taken with a disposable camera.  SLR cameras are no good for Street Photography.  My Minolta rangefinder and Olympus XA2 are really good for SP and not very expensive at all.  The Minolta AL-f cost me £14 and the Olympus XA2 cost me £10.  Film and developing costs mount up though and to shoot exclusively on film would be very expensive.  

People say to me , I never knew you were into photography and the truth is I never was into photography. I just assumed photography was just about Fashion, Nature, Journalism and Beauty not just taking random pictures of people for my own curiosity.  Well it turns out it is a photographic medium and I have only found this out recently hence why I have upped my game a bit and started taking candid pictures again.
Here are some of my early pictures with a disposable camera and my other camera's that I have been using recently.
