Morning light thru the trees, originally uploaded by JamMastrJ.

I was backing out of our driveway to bring the kids to school and I actually stopped, got out, grabbed my camera and took this shot… it was too cool to miss…

Yep, I bought one.  My photography friends all know about it, because I’ve been flaunting it around

I’m really digging this lens!  It took me a LOONG time to make the decision to pull the trigger on one of these, mainly because of the cost.  It IS expensive, but the quality of picture over my Nikon 70-210 f4-5.6 is night and day.

That’s right, that’s the number of shutter actuations on my Nikon D90 as of this afternoon!

Hard to believe that in less than a year, I’ve taken over 15,000 pictures with that camera.  Actually, on 10/28/09, I will have had the camera for one year.

Happy New Year!

My newly purchased copy of Photoshop CS4 Extended is way cool, so much more powerful and easy to use than previous versions!

Here’s a little something I did – I’ll write more about my weekend, but here are a couple of pictures… did you know I was into miniatures??

This month’s Boston.com raw was “Motion”.  Admittedly, I had a lot of problems with coming up with something that was “Motion” – I tried several different things (slow shutter with moving objects), but they just didn’t work out and I was getting frustrated.

We decided to go down to my mother-in-law’s for a visit on Monday night, since the kids had Tuesday off for Veteran’s Day.  I knew the moon was almost full and if the clouds cooperated, it would be an opportunity for some cool “moonlit” shots.  So, I brought my camera and tripod down to the beach to take some pictures.
