Vintage

LOL!!! Thanks, sweetie!!!!! My intention was to post a straight photog piece from the new camera first … but I got to fooling around with this one and decided it was ok to post. I took it while stretched out with the camera, the booklet, and all the extra thingies all around me, lol!! I was just snapping at anything in the room!!! I LOVE the D300!!! Barbara, everything is so convenient … and makes sense!!!! It’ll take me forever to really understand it … but it seems very intuitive to me at this point!!!!! FABULOUS little critter!!!!!

Thank you so much!!!!

LOL Tim!!!! Yes, very much so!!!!!

Hello Kathie!!! Thank you!!!!

Thanks so much, Kat!!!!! What a wonderful compliment!!!!! Hugzzz!!!

I hear ya … I read up on this a lot … which is why DH knew what I was hoping for … that and the slurp marks I kept leaving on the shop window when we’d pass, lol. And one of the things I keep reading is all the little nuances and tricks that you keep learning about. Honestly, tho, just from a preliminary point of view I’m blown away by the intuitive placement of the main controls. VERY well designed. And there really is a much better final product .. so much crisper (which of course you can’t tell here, lol)!!!

lol … thank you, darlin’!!!!!!!

LOL!!! I took this shot after I’d had it fired up for about 10 minutes … I was just snapping anything and everything!!! The sun kept coming in and out of the clouds outside the windows so everything I did was just trying things!! WHEEEE!!!!

thank you very much!!!!!!

Awww … Colin you darlin’!!!! Thankeee!!!!

Hi Ann!!! Thank you so much!!!! Yes, Dear Hubby got me a surprise Saturday!!!! WHEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

Hi Curtiss!!! Thank you!!!! I do love my gold walls, lol!!!!!

Hi Lori!!!! Thank you, sweetie … I’m crazy about this paint color … variations of it are in MANY rooms of my house, lol!!!!!!! So glad you enjoyed!!!

Hi Sue!!!! Thank you very much … I made up a few new steps for this one … had such fun inventing!!! LOL!!!!! (Well, ‘inventing’ for me … I’m sure everyone else already figured them out, lol)

Thanks, sweetie … i got this one from Deviant … always loved it and finally found the right image to use it with.

... ahh … meant to say … the “one” being the texture of course, lol!!!

HAHAHAH!!!! OMG!!! You have me busting out laughing!!!! TOOO funny … yes, I’m sure that Jan is a sneaky one … still laughing here … thank you, thank you!!!! I am just amazed at how intuitive all the controls are!!!!!! I’m having a bit of trouble controlling camera shake when I’m using the 70-300 full out though … lol … must work on my muscles I guess .. time to head back to the old gym!!!!! haha!! That’ll work well for me when I visit Jan, too, right???

Hey Victoria!!!! Thank you sooo much!!!! I really had fun with the pp on this one … I isolated the background, then inversed, then added several layers of just the flowers and vase at different opacity levels … made for a crazy dof look … then whipped out the old Wacom tablet and played with the eraser. I swear, the pp is as much fun as the photographing, isn’t it?????

Hiiii Ellen!!!!! Thank you very much!!!!

Oh, Luda, it’ll take me forever to fully understand this camera … but what fun!!!!!! I’ve got the basics … and am just amazed at the ease with which you can flip your shutter and aperture and iso and wb around!!! SO quick and easy!!!!!! Thanks, hon!!!! Hugzzz!!!

you might be right … the smaller versions have features, but they’re tucked away a bit, lol!!!! Oh yes, am keeping the D40x. I’ve always wanted to have two good cameras … one for back up … and also .. if out trekking around … less lens switching!!!!

Thank you, sweetheart!!!

Thank you!!!!!
