Nice Tony!
So Santa was good to you huh? Which did he bring you?

More like Santa allowed me to go out and purchase it in order to not hear me whine about it anymore. :lol: I worked some overtime last month so I had a tiny bit of a budget. So I went out and picked up the camera on Saturday. Of course today I find out my dryer at home is need of replacement. :neutral: "Well honey at least I can now take a picture of the dead dryer?"

Anyhow, I already had a 35mm Nikon SLR with a battery of lenses so I went out and looked at the D80, been wanting one since they came out. But I've been looking over the specs very closely and the D70s is to me is in fact a better camera (and about half the price!) So in the end it was a no-brainer. I've already got a fair collection of glass for it including a macro lens so this should hopefully allow me to play more with them, and not worry about taking in the film to get it developed and scanned. They had pretty much been gathering dust the last couple years so it was time to do something about that.

Need to practise some more. I did get a blur almost recognizable as my potter's angel tonight but she's just so fast. Only two keepables from tonights attempts:

I'm in love with your gorgonians, Tony. Wish I had room in my tank for some, or one ;) Keep posting pics!
