[QUOTE="spb_stan, post: 632756, member: 43545"] I often take one of my cameras on walks around the city center and today was no exception but instead of my D800 I took a lighter lower res D7000 who many say is obsolete. I don't. Although there are newer cameras with more features It still can deliver. I had a chance meeting with a rather attractive very feminine girl as we both exited a small park. The sun was very direct and casting long hard shadows. She asked for photo and I could not turn her down;>) After this we continued on to a nice outdoor cafe and enjoyed each other's company the rest of the afternoon.
