How the heck are you John! We have missed you!!!

Fine, been lurking from time to time. With the temp outside, this weekend, just bumming around trying to stay warm. Got to leave soon to get Cathy to work, then get back and work on frozen pipes. YuK!

Otherwise on the photo front, we've been expanding our portable lighting and experimenting with the Nikon CLS system. It's pretty cool. In the past I've used 4-5 speedlights on manual with pocket wizards. We now can go TTL with up to 5 strobes inside out to about 60 feet. Really a neat system. To get more range outdoors, we might have to resort to radio poppers. But that is just more money down the photography hole. Like what else is new.

Sorry to take over your thread Justin, I know more important things were being discussed. I now return us back to our regularly sceduled channel..........

I think I'll go with finding one that doesn't quite require that level of work...

Level of work..... Hum, we are referring to the female of the human species? When you "acquire" this unique specimen, please let the other males on the list who might be single know if this individual has sisters of like maintenance levels. You would be doing the human race a great service. For us married, we must suffer as we have for hundreds of generations, and love it!

Well, gotta go. I'll check in after thawing out a few hot water pipes. Later!

Oh don't worry about it.. We always like to hear what you are up to John. We don't see you very much anymore.

Yes, explain more of your condition. We need to know more. When did you first feel you may have a problem?

Welcome to the forum!

I agree with MK.. Send all of your gear to me. And you will be just fine.

Well, I (we) just bought a D40 and we have gone down a slippery slope. We've been taking pics of all kinds! Its mostly been landscapes, deer, and currently a little bulldog puppy which is happening rite now. My better half is snapping some pics as we speak. :lol:

We are still learning, but I fear the more we learn, the worse it will get

The slippery slope...

Don't worry about this thread. It gets derailed twice a day at least. It needs it...

I'm just looking for one that isn't the everything but sex and feel bad about what she does do but won't go for getting married thing type.

Well, I hate to break the news to you, but photography can lead down the proverbial slippery sloop. And what a steep sloop it can be! I started the slide at age 10 and first Nikon at age 14. (1st Nikon was on or about Sept 1st, 1969) OTOH, it can be just as much or as little as you want it to be. I tell people my NAS (Nikon Acquisition Syndrome) is my Bass Boat, Harley Davidson, and Beach front property all rolled into one. For us, a new camera body takes president over a new car. But I digress. The only sure fired way to escape NAS (there is no cure) is to put the camera down and step away, very far away. Then in my case call the Mayflower mover and have it all hauled away. Far, far away.

Good Luck and all kidding aside, enjoy your new camera. Photography can lead to a lifetime of fun, learning, and family enjoyment. And don't forget the memories.
