    So it begins!

    Out of 129 pictures, this is probably the best one. Sad really. I just took a slew of pictures at various settings some with flash, some without. (Totally lost on using that flash, but I'll learn that later) It was sorta dark in the room, so I did the best I could. Here's the newest member...

    So it begins!

    This thread will hopefully document my trip through learning my new D7000. There appears to be one, maybe two options on this camera. I'll be learning for years to come with this camera! So enough jibber jabber. After reading through Darrel Young's Mastering the D7000 book, off I went for a...

    I'm officially the newest D7000 owner in the world!

    I have the Sigma 17-70, and I'm going to get the 70-300 so I can figure out where I shoot the most at, then go from there! ...and without further adieu, the 15th photo from the new camera! I seriously have to go over the focusing thing again... I just have no control. -Edit- forgot the...

    I'm officially the newest D7000 owner in the world!

    Just ordered it seconds ago from B&H! Now I have to wait the dreaded wait. In the meantime, I guess I'll go find the manual and start reading!

    Over half way to that new camera!

    ...and just to keep things light around here. One of these was taken with a Canon EOS 6D, the other was taken with a Samsung Galaxy Nexus Phone. I'll let you guys decide which is which for a while. This is just another instance of, "It's the photographer, not the equipment!"

    Over half way to that new camera!

    Oh geez! Here I was just mindin' my own business lookin' at speedlights and studio lights, when you come along with all these other things to spend money on! Glad my wife never asks how much I spend on stuff! Is this the 200 f4 beast you speak of?

    Bear with me I'm new to night photography.

    Ok, a tripod and remote shutter is not needed. Just set the camera on a firm surface, set a 3 second (or whatever) delay for the shutter and away ya go! The delay is so the camera doesn't jiggle when you press the button. Or maybe it just has time to dejiggle before the exposure starts...

    Over half way to that new camera!

    Well, it's certainly pleasant that no one has had any serious objections to my decisions. I guess I'll stick with this list then. The Nikkor/Tamron/Sigma/et al debate has always been, and always will be. I have no plans to beat up my gear, and no plans to recoup any money from the gear, so a...

    Over half way to that new camera!

    I've been saving my pennies and I'm over halfway to my 2k mark! Tryin' to get rid of most of my credit cards at the same time, so it's been fun! Three kids in college. Ugh... So I'm starting to solidify my list, and that's been a rough road. I am stuck on a D7000 though, so you won't be able...

    Post your Train shots!

    And this motion was what I was trying to accomplish when I wandered out to the track. I was just a tad late on the shutter to capture the engine.. Next time!

    Post your Train shots!

    This is the Norfolk Southern 9365, a GE C40-9W cruising through the cornbelt of Ohio. My very first train picture. I've beat myself up in so many ways on what I should've done differently, I just need to practice more...

    Aloha! From the Sunny Ohio Cornbelt!
