Frickin FINALLY....a week+ in the mountains of NC.  LEAVING my D700 at home, I think I am taking a D90 and a D200 
and some lenses.  Not sure if I will shoot ANYTHING at all, but I am semi-ready.  Got a bit of a dilemma...I KNOW 
that I want to buy another camera, lol, but I really want another D700.  But for half the cost I can get my first D7000.
As some of you know, my reason for preferring the D700 is it is a GREAT old camera, and all my batteries for my vast 
collection, lol, FIT the D700.  Introducing the D7000 would toss a bit of a wrench into the hopper.  But it is a VERY 
capable and modern camera.  Not sure I will HEED advice, but I am certainly asking for some.  What would YOU DO?

Anyone have experience with Yongnuo gear? Looking to pic up another flash and some TTL triggers and the price. Reviews seem pretty solid, overall, especially for the triggers.

Tougher to make shots like that than I thought. Those were the absolute limit on how slow I can go on shutter speed with hand held photos, since it was pretty cold that morning and I was shivering a bit.

Another great night shot Ron!!
So for Christmas my son decides to make my wife and I something in ceramics class at school. I open mine and of course, it doesn't matter what it's for, he made it himself, so it's instantly an awesome gift. He realizes that I don't 'get' it and says.... 'it's a shot glass'. 
:-) I hope he didn't tell the teacher that's what he was making!!

My mom got this print framed for me. This was the first photo I ever considered 'good' that I captured. A friends father is a big photographer and printed it out for me. This picture doesn't do it justice at all, the colors are much richer than the washed out cell phone pic.

What a colorful lot of pics folks....quite seasonally cheery!
By the way, if anyone wants to pick up a Nikon D90, I am going to let one of mine go, and likely take a bit of a loss on it.
If anyone needs a good Nikon, PM me.

That sucks, Brad. Lay low and do what your doc says; that stuff tends to linger around if you don't.
Those night pics above were hand held shots; amazingly my hands were pretty steady even though it was pretty chilly out there.
