Photography

My new 'hobby' is photography. I love it. What else can I say?!!!

My camera...
I love my handy little Nikon D80. It's reliable, it's good. But, my dream camera...the one I will save to get next, is a lovely, slick, Nikon D700. Needless to say, I won't be holding that baby in my hands anytime soon due to that beauty of a price-tag. One can keep wishing though, eh?!

My lenses...
My D80 came with a kit lens (18-135mm) which I haven't touched in over 6 months. It's a nice lens, but doesn't really meet my needs right now. I'm still going to hang on to it though.
My next lens purchase was a 50mm 1.8. Beautiful lens and highly recommended as a standard which most people should have (so of course, I had to get it).
My most recent purchase (thanks to all my bday pressies which came in the form of cold, hard CASH) was an 85mm 1.8. I've only had it for just over a week (due to backorder at Teds Camera). But, it was well worth the wait! It's a DREAM lens. I LOVE it. I can't wait to get it outdoors to shoot some lovelies!!!!!

Here are some recent fav's.

Is it a 'sign', Polly? But I happened to link on my google blogs today which I almost never do....and waa-lah, there are all these gorgeous pics. You must tell me your secret! I love my camera, too, but haven't advanced to a lens stage. Sienna's bday is coming up, though, si? Hope you guys have a wonderful b-day party.
