I wasn't sure where to post this thread, but figured this category was a good as any other. What was your first camera, and how old were you? My first one was one of those "spy cameras" you could purchase via mail order from one of those ads in the back of comic books. They cost a couple of...

2-19-13: Dreary, sleety/rainy/snowy day, but I already had my photo planned, so I really did not care that the weather was icky. The stories of Beatrix Potter continue. This time: The Old Lady in the Shoe: Rob, she is the same vintage as Mr. Jeremy Fisher.

2-17-13: As promised for Rob, here is the underside of Mr. Jeremy Fisher: This figurine is circa mid- to late=1960s. Buster has no problems getting his photo taken. Flash does not bother him in the least.

2-16-13: Okay, today's photos. This first one is in response to Rob's photo of Jemima Puddleduck. I loved Beatrix Potter characters when I was growing up, and still love them today. Below is Mr. Jeremy Fisher. I have had this figurine for a long time. Mr. Jeremy Fisher This next photo is...

2-15-13: Not a great day, photographically, but I did get something. I just started knitting a scarf for the teacher aide in my classroom. She is transferring to a different department as of March 1st, so I decided I had better get started on the scarf. She has no idea.... yet. Her favorite...

2-14-13: Okay, for all of you who got the mystery photo yesterday, here are the spools in context. For those of you who have developed film, this photo should be nostalgic. For those who have only been in the digital world, enjoy a bit of "old school." There are 3 35mm spools and 1 120/220...

Since getting my new D7000 on Friday, I have actually played with some video. I'm not a video person but it has been a lot of fun playing with it. Not exactly sure how to deal with the autofocus on it for videos. Anyone have suggestions? Right now, I'm using my cats & spousal unit as subjects.

2-11-13 addition: Meet Oscar.... I am still playing with my new D7000 and my favorite lens, the AF f/2.8 105mm Micro Nikkor. :) Great combination!!

2-11-13: Okay, back to the dreary winter weather (in the 40s F and drizzling. Yuck!). I have had this little malachite egg for a number of years. At least it's greenish, more than I can say for what's outside. Green Egg, No Ham

2-10-13: I took advantage of a relatively warm day (in the high 30s F) and intermittent sunshine. I forgot what sunshine looked like. :) When I looked up at these trees, they reminded me of the circulatory system. Circulation Back to my favorite creek. This is the portion of the creek that...

Okay, here's my camera porn. I think I need a bigger camera bag.

2-9-13: We got less than 7" of snow, luckily, but the snow still gave me a lot of opportunities to play with my new D7000. I did screw up the date when I was setting up the camera and did not realize it until I had uploaded photos to my computer. Some of the dates are 2-11-13. Oh well. :)...
