Finally New DSLR Camera!!!

I've been saving for a new Nikon DSLR camera for a while now and it arrived in the mail last week!! My first Nikon! Got two lenses too--a wide to normal lens and a telephoto lens.
WHOPPIE!!!

I'm selling my beloved Pentax film camera with it's 3 lens on ebay. I really loved that camera. I still love the look of film. After many years of processing my own pictures and working in a corporate professional photo lab, I was really glad to leave all the chemicals and water waste behind--don't want to go back.

Haven't had a chance to learn the manual setting or how to capture RAW uncompressed images yet. That will come with the new year.

Here are some tests pictures with my zoom lens--on all automatic settings.

Once I get the hang of the manual settings I'll be in business again!! I'm stoked!

100th post!

Holy Smackers batman it's my 100th post! I think it's time to celebrate...
break out the bubbly.

My kitties are not impressed. With the onset of the cold weather, they just want to eat, sleep and whine in the middle of the night.

That's "Joe" the butler and "Melchizedek" the maverick on the right. They moved with us from Colorado. Genetically they come from Colorado stock...that means they are big! 90% of Wisconsin cats are so small in comparison. My big cranky boys.

My gorgeous, lovey, cuddly, double coated, wet-nosed cat Melchizedek the Maverick.

He likes to talk and demand to be played with at 3:00am.

Loud but beautiful. ;)
