Okay - yesterday I upgraded the SLR to a new one. I had a Nikon D50 and upgraded the body and lens to a D60 with 18-200 mm VR reduction lens. Just getting to learn the guts of new one out. Some things I like better, somethings I don't. Oh well, the lens is a dream and a much greater improvement than the body upgrade. I love it and have fully tested the vibration reduction - but these shaky hands need all the help they can.
Just playing with it yesterday on these shots:
The crocus's in the yard are now blooming and the tulips are getting set to go.
This one is for Pitdog - a robin. Okay, I think this is a good demo of the VR lens. Imagine now - I have this thing on 200 mm zoom (equivalent to 300 mm in 35 mm film cameras), I'm holding it with one hand, I have the two dogs leashed and being held with the other hand. No way in hell I could have done that without the VR!
I usually have my Autofocus set to center spot, but didn't notice that it was area and found the camera doing a good deal of autofocus hunting. Have to remember to set the AF to the way I like it!
Beta loves the water! Max won't touch it.
