Thanks guys!! The dragonfly was MUCH more cooperative than that tiny little frog. LoL.

Here's a couple I snapped at lunch with the 80-200 on the D3200. I think the lens might be sharp enough to poke out an eye if I'm not careful.

The UPS man just showed up with my D7000, too!!! Now I have to learn how to use the darned thing!!! Feels like starting all over .... but sure will be fun learning again.

Torrential rainfall nearly all day. Managed just a couple shots late in the day when the sun popped through in between showers.

VERY nice shots with your new toy. It looks like you learned how to use it really well

Thanks again, Wendy! It's definitely a beast and I think I'm in LOVE!! LoL! Seriously though; there is SO much I need to learn about the 7000 to really put it to good use and get everything I can out of it.

Excellent! Thank you so much. Looks like a ton of great info that if have likely never found. Should give me lots to read while I'm laid up in bed today with a stomach virus. :-/

Thanks, M. Sick days are no fun when you're really really sick.

Thank the Lord, I felt MUCH better today. Still didn't venture out from the house though ... just in case.

Great idea that you toy with. (gotta watch those eye whites while you are toying though)

Just a bit too much white of the eye showing, and not enough eye of the eye, if that makes sense. Great pose, light, bokeh, etc, etc.

Ah. Now I get it! Thank you for the tip. I thought you saw the extra light reflection in her right eye. LoL.

I wanted a good color version, but the back lights kept washing out a bit much. Think I might have a way to lessen it. I'll try again tonight.
