Kristi and I have just gotten back from a weekend break at Whitby, up on the North Yorkshire coast. Whitby is famous for its magnificent abbey, and for being a Mecca for both photographers and goths - Bram Stoker is said to have written Dracula whilst staying in the town.

We had a great time up there, and I managed to snag a few photos with the D200 before the battery ran flat. We were really lucky with the weather; we got there the day after a full moon, and there wasn’t a cloud to be seen day or night until it was time to come home.

Despite it’s bulk and weight, I’m starting to use the 80-400 lens more often than not. I think half the photos I’ve uploaded to Flickr were taken with it. I have been looking around for the Sigma 70-300 lens (I was very impressed with Sebastian’s), but I’m told there’s a massive shortage of these in the UK; I’ll be sticking with what I have at least until Christmas.

Looking at the results, I don’t think that’s necessarily a bad thing :)
