New Camera!!

Bought a used D200 with a MB-200 grip from a fellow on dgrin.com. Have shot with it a couple times but not a lot yet. Really looking forward to the faster fps and more controls at my fingertips rather than buried in the menus.

Apparently the eagles are arriving at Couer d'Alene so maybe will try to head over there one weekend morning with the 70-200 and 1.4TC and see what I can get. With it being the Christmas season there is plenty going on at work and at home so not sure when I will be able to make that trip and the weather needs to warm up as well, it was 8* last night when I took the dog for a walk.

Finally got around to sorting through some soccer shots. Here are a couple for now.

Been shooting a few soccer pictures this fall but haven't gotten anything uploaded yet. Also been taking the new puppy, Emma, out for a couple long walks most every day. I've started a gallery of Emma pictures at SmugMug. There is just one gallery for now. One of these days I'll get some soccer shots uploaded as well as more Emma photos. Also hoping to shoot some hockey during the upcoming year and of course the leaves are starting to turn so might get some fall color pics as well.

Back From Vacation

had a great couple of weeks on Pend Oreille. Got some skiing in and took a few pictures. There are a bunch uploaded already at SmugMug and some still to get out of the camera. Here is one for starters.

Wooden Boats

Summer is here and I haven't been posting anything. Here are a couple from the wooden boat show in Sandpoint, Idaho a couple of weeks ago. Hope to be able to shoot and post some additional photos during my upcoming vacation.

been a long time...

Wow, I didn't realize it had been so long since I posted something. Spring has been busy with soccer games and the general stuff that is part of life. haven't had the camera out at all in awhile (see previous sentence.

The weather has finally turned and trees are blossoming so maybe get out this weekend or next to try and get some photos.

Back

Well, I decided not to take the camera down to Vegas for the Red Rock Rendezvous and it proved to be a wise decision. Didn't really have time to myself where I could have gone shooting and a big windstorm came up kicking up lots of dust so glad that the glass wasn't exposed to that.

Won a SB-600 right before I left on eBay and it arrived while I was gone. It is in near perfect condition and appears to work flawlessly. Hopefully I'll be able to get out and start doing some practicing with it soon.
