North West Coast Aerial Survey
Sefton Council Technical Services Coastal Defence team have commissioned me to produce an aerial survey of the north-west coastline, from the Solway Firth on the Scottish border to the Great Orme on the North Wales coast, taking in the river estuaries of the Esk, Eden, Wampool, Esk (Cumbria), Irt, Mite, Duddon, Leven, Gilpin, Lune, Wyre, Douglas, Ribble, Mersey, Dee, and Clwyd. The total length of open coast is 430km, and photographs are to be taken every 1000m. , showing coastline and defences, and intertidal features such as beaches, salt marsh and mud flats.
River estuaries are to be photographed every 200m, along both sides and will show the estuary bank and defences, and features such as salt marsh and mud flats. All photographs will be taken within one hour of low tide, requiring detailed planning around days when low tide occurs at a suitable time, plus calculations of flying time and other logistics. Weather also has to be factored in, unfortunately no amount of planning can influence this part of the job. Photography will be carried out in March 2009, and will be shot on the 24.5 mp Nikon D3x, which will produce highly detailed images.

For Sale on Ebay - my spare D3
I am selling one of my D3s as I have just acquired a D3X and sadly cannot justify keeping 3 bodies. This camera has been lovingly cared for in the 12 months I have owned it, and although used professionally, has never been dropped, mis-handled or abused in any way. When not being used, it lives in a hard Peli case, and has not been exposed to harsh environments, or allowed to get wet or dirty. It has mainly been used to shoot live events at Echo Arena Liverpool, which is the sort of work it is ideally suited for, producing superb results in some tricky lighting conditions - many examples of pictures produced by this fabulous camera can be viewed in the image galleries at Lightbox Photography.
The camera is unblemished, the only visible sign of use being some wear on the rubber underside where it has been attached to a monopod. It is in perfect working order, comes with updated firmware and custom Picture Controls from the Nikon web site, and is packaged in the original box, complete with all leads, charger, and Nikon Capture NX software which was bundled with the camera. I am also including a third-party spare battery. The sensor has never required wet cleaning, and has been kept dust-free by use of a hand blower only.
Please check my feedback - I have sold many pieces of photo equipment on Ebay, and every buyer has been 100% satisfied with their purchase - this item is no exception, you will not be disappointed. Everything you have read about the D3 is true, it is a fantastic camera which seems to work better the more difficult the situation.

Graeme Sharp
Sharpie remembers once again that fabulous goal he scored at Anfield to win the derby - I was on the Kop and can still see it flying past Bruce Grobelaar while Mark Lawrenson can only watch in admiration
