Carpe Diem

[F8&Bthere]

Here's two for you:
1. This one surprised me- It was over a year ago. I still had my Nikon D70 and had just mounted a new 55-200VR lens that had arrived in the mail, bought off eBay. We're talking about a $200 consumer grade lens here, nothing extraordinary. I think this was literally the first shot I took with it just playing around to test it in our kitchen, spur of the moment, in P mode.... entirely just a point'n'shoot kinda situation.
2. This one took some patience to choose the right moment, but was worth it. I call it "Getting your Ducks in a Row" (or should I call it "Bottoms Up"?)
