The D300 is a fancy lady...it will take me awhile to learn all about her. SO far I love her dearly....but when in doubt I use the D50. D50 is my walking camera.<BR/>Looking forward to getting to know you.<BR/>Namaste,<BR/>SherryQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02473455565144414399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27765182.post-73894391868507082862008-12-28T18:41:00.000-06:002008-12-28T18:41:00.000-06:00Hi Sherry.

I really enjoy your bird photos. I also enjoy your movies. I've been thinking about posting one on my blog, and you've given me the inspiration I need. I look forward to more bird photos. Happy Holidays to you and yours!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15791185232391134319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27765182.post-35908973172968358222008-12-14T20:35:00.000-06:002008-12-14T20:35:00.000-06:00Dear Robin, I am taking it slow.

Most of my bird photographs are taken with that lens. When I walk I now am using a 18x-200x lens. Today I thought I would be fancy and take macro shots when I walked. I saw deer and a Brown Creeper and a flock of Robins! I could not get very good photographs of any of them! Did see some nice berries!<BR/>I am loving the new camera.<BR/>SherryQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02473455565144414399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27765182.post-55605512389291862872008-12-11T21:30:00.000-06:002008-12-11T21:30:00.000-06:00Dear Frances,Thank you.
