Life and work are both kicking my tail right now, but I hope to be back to posting next week.
Thanks for being patient with me.
And just a few shots of Coley that I took a few months back when I rented the Canon 7D. (And I loved the Canon 7D and chose to rent it while all my Nikon gear was in the shop for cleaning/repair because it's a camera that I recommend to many of my Canon shooters, but my frugal husband would probably divorce me if I switched back to Canon...so I'm a Nikon girl for life.)
what great shots!!! How did you like the Canon 7D? Are you considering it?

The last one is awesome with the reflection of you and his game!
I got a bag load of spinach today so I googled spinach au gratin and made it for lunch. Did you know that takes less than an hour to digest?

Karen, since you're one of the few people out there who is so well versed in both Nikon and Canon, I want to ask you a question. I work in a camera store and I have easy access to both. I've been a Nikon shooter for 12 years now, but I truly don't believe one is better than the other - they're just different. But one thing I don't "get" about Canon is how when you import into PS, the images aren't 300 DPI, but rather 72 or 96 DPI (I can't remember exactly, it's been a year since I borrowed a Canon). As someone who prints, that kinda drives me nuts. Is there an easy way around that? A benefit that I don't understand? Do you just batch process everything to get it to a printable DPI? I get that you're taking a break, so I'm not expecting an answer any time soon, but if you could shed some light on that, I'd really love it!

After switching to the D7000 after years of shooting Canon(because you convinced me!) I too tried looking at Canon again. I just can't live without the Nikon Auto ISO feature. That D7000 is just so amazing! It took a bit of an adjustment but now that I am over the hump...WOW! I was just in a camera shop and the guy told me after 27 years of being in photography he has never seen a better camera than the D7000. It made me feel so good. I actually just ordered one for my husband too. It shows up today. Now that is love:-) I think the worst part was starting over with the lenses. I had such a good collection before.

You probably already know that the 5dmkiii is the camera you were waiting for!!!! I had a 7d and loved it (actually, I still have it), but my mkiii....it's like my 7d, only full frame and even better!!!! Come back to the other side, Karen! You know Josh Downs will keep you.
Caroline, I don't have a problem with my Canon images being 72 or 96 dpi. Maybe it's an import setting you have set up in PS????

Now I'm really confused. Have been looking into buying a big girl camera and thought I should go for the new Nikon D800, but now not so sure. Decisions, decisions...ugh!

Prima di tutto voglio dire blog fantastico! Avevo una domanda veloce che mi piacerebbe chiedere se non ti dispiace. Ero interessato a scoprire come te stesso centro e cancellare i vostri pensieri prima di scrivere. Ho avuto un momento difficile cancellare la mia mente a far fuori le mie idee. Io veramente piace scrivere ma sembra proprio come i primi 10 o 15 minuti sono in genere sprecato solo cercando di capire come iniziare. Tutte le idee o suggerimenti? Grazie!
