Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / April 2004OTP My new camera
My uncle is a photographer, by profession. When I visited him a few weeks ago, he gave me a new Nikon, because it's "not top of the line anymore". Well, for me it is. :-) He just GAVE it to me. I've started a new gallery of just Nikon images, and invite you all to visit. Only a few images so far, but a few that I am proud of. http://www.pbase.com/di/nikon5000  SignatureDi dabell at optonline dot net My weekly mantras: OSIM (Oh sh.t, it's monday) TGIF (Thank God, it's friday) I enjoyed your pictures. I like photograpy also and have won several ribbons in our local fair. Having a good camera helps doesn't it? debbie m. http://www.angelfire.com/ga2/angels1/ > My uncle is a photographer, by profession.

Almost completely blind from macular degeneration. But, 100% all there. Breakfast, as all meals, are such a ritual for him.

We all, all 15 of us, looked at him like he had two heads. Then, of course, we burst out laughing. He said that when he was shopping, he chose that one because it was the perfect size for the seder plate. He said it never occurred to him that this resembled the male anatomical parts. Like hell, it didn't. LOLOL It was pretty funny.

My parents used to grow their own horseradish, and grind it fresh, in the food processor. It's really difficult to remove the lid from the horseradish while not looking at it, but they learned the hard way that they had to do it that way.

I don't know if I am ready to give it away just yet. It's a great camera, though low on megapixels (2.1 mp). It has a 10X optical zoom, whereas the Nikon only has 3X, so I'm hesitant to part with it till I get a long lens for the Nikon. Just takes a bit of money I don't have.

There is no way he can afford a camera, and he has been wanting one for such a long time. Besides, if I give my camera to my son, then my uncle will likely feel that his gift was a double whammy. His very Buddhist/Zen approach to life supports the notion that giving a gift can be very far reaching, and I also support that notion. :-) You and John will just have to sort out your camera issues without my involvement. ;-) SignatureDi dabell at optonline dot net My weekly mantras: OSIM (Oh sh.t, it's monday) TGIF (Thank God, it's friday) Ooo-kay. ;) Duckie > I know that my son would be hugely appreciative.

(_<_) Great piccies!!! Just before I left NYC, I bought myself a Nikon. It's a film camera as the digital that I wanted would have cost too much. But I got a 24-85mm lens along with a 75-300mm, and I love shooting photos. When I got to Washington, I took a photography course during the summer and then another one last fall. Some of my photties are at http://carolemartin.com I love photographing things out here as it is so beautiful in Washington :) Carole :) > My uncle is a photographer, by profession.

The initial investment in digital is more, but then there's no processing costs, so it levels out in the end. More than levels out, cuz you can shoot and shoot and shoot. And, with a bit of luck, ya get a couple of good photos. <g> Carole, you have a great eye. Nice shots.

Signature"One of the most striking differences between a cat and a lie is that a cat only has nine lives." Puddinhead Wilson's Calendar (Mark Twain) ----- mr(dot)bones(at)att(dot)net That is what I love about it the most. When we went to China back in 1986? we took hundreds of rolls of film for the month for the two of us. We used almost all of them. I got loads of pictures but I got three which I love. That trip taught me to just shoot and shoot. With the digital, you just don't have all that film to lug around and then pay for developing later. Not only that but it was slide film and now I have to scan all the slides into the computer to later burn to CD/DVD for storage. Would have easier to just be there from the beginning but that was the dark ages. lol Duckie > I don't think I'll ever shoot conventional film again.

Signature_('> (_<_) _ _('< -quack (_<_) _ __('< *QUACK!* <_{__) _('< "|,,|_" (_<_) _('< "AFLAC!" (_<_) Also, because you can shoot and shoot and shoot, without worrying about "ruining" a shot, you become a better photographer. If you have an eye, you can overcome technical abilities by learning without worrying about costs. I know I've become a better photographer since I went digital. Now, if I ever decide to go back to conventional, I'm more likely to get better results. Not that I plan on going conventional. Just a thought.
