New lens

THIS WAS IN MY DRAFT BOX FOR SO LONGGGGG......

Just a record so that I can remember when my new super telephoto came in. Yupp, Nikon delivered it one week earlier than promised. Got my lens yesterday (25 Mar 2009) in a super heavy hard case. Will post some photos of the lens later. I still cant take it out to the field yet as I am waiting for my tripod head....just put in an order online with Wimberley.....(I cant even believe this is me....I dare not even think of how much I have spent...)

Okay..some photos

21st Mar - Relief Society Birthday party.

Sister Christine Ng requested me to be the photographer. I am excited as well as nervous. I dont know whether to use my new camera (which I am still not familiar) or use my old Canon S3. I know pictures with my new DSLR would be superb if I take it correctly, but what if I dO not? Finally, I decided to use my new camera (otherwise, when will I ever use it if I dont trust it!!) and as back-up, I gave my S3 to Michelle Lee as the backup photographer...haha. I had a great time taking photos...The RS sisters put on a fashion show....

I think I am going to love this camera..............

New Camera

Finally, after a whole month of torment, I made up my mind and got myself a new DSLR camera - Nikon D300. I was just window shopping, checking out and comparing the prices offered for the camera until I was caught in this shop in Funan Digital Mall - the salesman let me tried out the camera with the various lenses - and from there I was hooked and cant let go of the camera - need to go to two ATMs as nowadays, shops accept cash only.... Bought it on 4th Mar 2009. This was a decision well made, I think. I love this new camera. Wont mentioned here how much I have spent (one ATM machine is not sufficient to dispense the cash-ha ha), or how much more I need to spend (have put in an order for a new telephoto lens 500mm f4), I am just going to enjoy my new toy & hope to capture the beauty of nature in my photos.
