The Nikon D80 arrived, which was paid for with the winnings I received from everyone who sponsored me. Thanks everyone! I took some pictures of Zhara and the most imposing Lord Picklesworth this morning to show off the awesome power that is the D80.
I’m going to the gym. The knee, if you’re curious, is getting better. The PT is helping and so are the pair of New Balance shoes I pulled out of my closet. (Knee problems are not aided by boots.) My runnings shoes are new and were generously supplied by my mom - so that’s always been fine. I still think my old New Balances are awesome. Something about and old pair of sneakers (that don’t smell) make me feel better.
OH, and hooray for summer. And boo for gaining another 2 pounds. I think I need to re-examine my diet.

Huzzah to new cameras! What kind of lense(s) do you have for it at this point?

Nikkor 24 mm, a Sigma 105 mm Macro and a Tamron 28-200mm. Because of the funky 2/3 size of the sensor, I don’t really know which lens to get next, but both those shots were taken with the Tamron, which I had really never been able to get a decent shot out of on any of my film cameras… but if you set to multiple exposure with a 4 gig SDHC card, eventually you’ll get a nice looking shot.
It’s not skill at that point, of course, it’s just statistics.

Oh, I’m with ya! I’ve exploited the same brute-force technique myself :)
