The reason I’m doing this is mainly for myself - I want to be able to see how I develop as a photographer (with my new camera) and this is an excellent way for me to practice my English, which I want to improve a lot. So that's why I am writing on English and not on Swedish, which is my native language. And if you as a reader find my blog interesting that's a joyful bonus for me.
Today I was planning on taking a long walk in my neighbourhood along with my camera to try and find an interesting object to practice some shoots on - so far I have only been able to shoot inside due to lack of time and bad weather. I can tell shooting inside is no fun at all because of bad light and a limited distance. Unfortunately when I woke up today the bad weather was still here and it was even worse then yesterday - all dull and grey (=bad light) with some soft rain. I decided that I didn't want to soak my camera for some practice shoots that hadn't been that exciting anyway, so I stayed at home watching a movie which is quite good when it's bad weather outside. I had a calm breakfast and was starring out of my window down on the street below when I heard a really interesting sound (during the summer I always have a window or my balcony door open), and shortly after I then saw the Ferrari shown on the picture below. I quickly grabbed my camera and gave it a try through the window. I know it is a terrible picture, but I think it reflects quite good where I am at the moment with my Nikon D40 - I know how to trigger, but I need to practice a lot to get a decent picture out of it.
The breakfast Ferrari - shoot through my window.

An interesting start my friend, I look forward to seeing how your progress goes.
Best of luck with the blog.
Hey Stoffe:
Nice car. I can't wait to see what other photos you are going to take.
Oh yeah, I like your blog and look forward to reading it often.
I'm very impressed that you're doing this in English, Chris--the thought of writing my blog in French makes me shudder!
I look forward to seeing how quickly your photography improves, too. Don't underestimate cloudy days for photography--sometimes the lack of light is just as useful as having plenty.
Hi Mark, Cathy and Scott. I'm glad all of you stopped by and took your time to leave a fotprint here at the blog. I appreciate it!
It really is a challenge writing on a different language Scott, I feel a bit limited in my vocabulary for now. But on the other hand life is about conquering challenges and make progress.
I hope to make this blog interesting, but it will be an interesting journey with a lot of spelling/grammar errors and suspicious looking pictures in the beginning ;) but If everything goes as it should it will be better with time though.
