all nikon F mount cameras .. any Nikon with a D prefix

Nikon D3100, with a 35mm prime.
It would appear that I am rather attached to my D3100, although I do have a hankering for the D3200 at the moment.
Ventured out this morning, and it was pretty cold and blustery, my fingers were pretty numb during this wee adventure.
I have been past this castle many times and never stopped, today i made a point.
There are thousands of photographs of this castle on the net and it has a very long history for those interested in that.
So my efforts are not as good as what can be found, but I am happy with my first try.
Always thought it was a dark and gloomy place, so I don't feel that I should try and make it into a Disney castle.
Dunotter Castle on a cold and grey morning.

Went out with my D70 s and Tamron 18/200 mm.
There may some members on here who know where this is.
Its a war memorial close to where I live, I have always wanted to do this with this subject, not the best pic but its a start.
And I will try and het some better shots done, it was a very strong day of harsh sunlight.

This is a famous lighthouse in the photography world, so I decided to give it a visit today, it about an hours drive from my house.
I had a good time and I will go back.
Camera Nikon D70s and a Tamron 18/200mm lens.
Some edit but I like it, as most of the time you see the entire structure.
I took this as I was looking for the path to get to it.
Went home very happy.

Rattray Head Lighthouse.
The approach.

My first DSLR was the D3200, a D40 joined the club and the D3200 was replaced with a D7000, a camera I never really jelled with. I decided to go full frame but this was at the height of the D600 debacle, so I switched to Canon and sold all my Nikon cameras and DX lenses. After many years of no Nikons and having loved the images produced by my other CCD cameras, I saw that the D200 also had a CCD sensor so kept a eye out. I soon bought one that came with the grip, a shutter count under 10K and a crazy price of £79. I added a 35mm f1.8 lens for £69, two new batteries and was up and running for much less than some pretty ordinary mirrorless cameras. I'm loving this camera, the build quality, ergonomics and even working within the limitations of such an old camera. DSLR's are incredibly cheap right now but the fun factor is still there and they still have so much to offer.
