The Brown Santa came today!!..

[cush]

I spent an hour hearing things that sounded like a UPS truck but they were all school busses. I realized that it was getting pretty late and maybe I was at work when he stopped by. Sure enough, there was a delivery attempt sticker on the door that I hadn't seen from the driveway. I called UPS, and was referred to their website to arrange delivery. No sooner did I click sent that the phone rang (spooky fast, I was still in the process of putting the phone down!). The dispatcher had the driver (great guy) make a second stop. In the box? An early baby shower gift for my younger bro and his wife (A Canon S80 and a 256 compact flash card). For me: leg covers for my tripod, a SanDisk Extreme 515 Compact Flash, an EF 24-70 f2.8L, and an EF 70-200 f2.8L IS! Woo Hoo! I also got a few filters to go with the new lenses. Here are a couple pics from the hundred I quickly did this evening with my Digital Rebel. The flower was shot with the 24-70 (iso100, 1/500, f2.8 @70mm minimum manual focus. My son taking a shot was with the 70-200, 1/250, f2.8, iso 400 @70mm. Tomorrow is his first game and dad will be there testing the new equipment!
