My new(est) toy

A couple weeks ago I made one of my biggest purchased in a while. I took the plunge and bought a Nikon D300 camera and accessories. I’d initially ordered a D300 last fall, but just couldn’t justify the cost when I was completely satisfied with my current cameras. But, I recently saw a deal that was too good to pass up so I went ahead and broke out my debit card.

My initial thoughts are that I like the slightly larger size of the camera and I appreciate it’s sturdy build. There really isn’t any perceivable difference in image quality at lower ISOs and I haven’t done any low light shooting with it yet(which is where it will really shine). I’m happy with the camera and look forward to putting it to use this wedding season (which begins in about 2 weeks)!

More from Abandoned

Over the past 2 weeks I’ve found a few new houses and buildings to photograph for Abandoned. Here are some of my favorites.

Quick thanks

I just wanted to thank everyone who messaged me with kind words regarding my father’s surgery. Everything went well and he was discharged today. They were able to do the operation laparoscopically so he should have a pretty quick recovery period.

Thanks again!

Sorry for the lack of posts

I have a bunch of new photos from Abandoned that I need to get posted, but this week has been pretty hectic. On Tuesday my father was taken to the emergency room with severe stomach pains. It took several hours of testing before he was diagnosed with a hernia that needs to be surgically repaired. He’s having surgery this afternoon, so I’ll be at the hospital most of today.

I’ll try to get some new photos uploaded over the weekend, but I hope everyone understands why I don’t have much time to blog right now.

Eli

Sharon took a nice photo of Eli today. I always try to get photos of him but he refuses to sit still and usually barks at the camera. I’m glad she had more luck than me.
