Here are today's pix... I accidentally deleted my one blog with my equipment list on it, so since Rayne asked; I have a Fuji S7000 digital SLR with a filter adapter so I can use 55mm filters. It was a spur of the moment purchase without my usual research, and I have regretted it ever since. It has a fixed lens, but at least I can use filters. But it does take a shutter cable and have a hot shoe that I can use my Vivitar flash on. The lens isn't really that great, but compared to other cameras in the price range when I bought it, it wasn't bad. I just wish I had held out for a Nikon D200 (my holy grail) and some nice lenses.

My film camera is a Minolta  SRT MC-II with a minolta 55m lens and a crappy Albinar 300mm zoom.

 

I am trying to find more pix of my area, but unfortunately, all I can find right now are either on slide or printed on film, so I need to scan them.... I will try and start doing that next week.

 

So here are today's pix. First another sunset on the Oregon Coast. Try as I might, we never seem to get to see a really phenomenal sunset whenever we visit... still hoping to see one some day.

the body has come down in price quite a bit, it's not nearly as expensive as the D2X. It's all the fucking lenses that break the bank!

I guess it's the D300 now... and $1600! wow. but like I said, then you want the battery pack, flash units and lenses... mucho deniero! But at least it ain't the new D3X... $8000! for the body only!!!

You've probably already mentioned this, but what camera are you using? Great pics man! If that insect was on the ground, I most likely would've stepped on it not even realizing it was there....Wow, that leaf was really crunchy!

Fuji S7000, cool. Hope you can get that D200 soon. Love that first pic, you can see the sun rays and all.
