    BUY a D70 today!

    just thought I'd plug the D70 again...I am still astounded at the quality and accuracy of skintones with this happy little camera...this was a quick "trying to get the girl and practice shot" using 105mm(manual focus), f/2.5, handheld(no joke) at 1/25th iso 200

    just sharing my cutie and my excitement..that's all

    Nice shot. What did you have the white balance, sharpen, optimizations settings, etc. set to?

    You Go Nat!

    Cute pic Nat!
    Right now, I'd just settle for a 28-70 f/2.8 AF-S lens!

    Incredible skintones. I love the colors and saturation I'm seeing out of the D70.

    Nikon has made quantum leaps in their sensor/metering/CCD technology. I don't what they've done, or where, but it WORKS!

    PS - I don't have the money for a D70, but I'm really getting to where I want one!

    I love to! Just as soon as someone want's to donate $2000 to my cause... I know that's more than I need for the camera, but you have to know the camera by itself isn't enough... I'd still need a telephoto lens, tripod, external flash, memory card..........better make that $2500....

    Oh, and that's a beautiful photo, and a cute kid..

    I was very happy

    I am not very good at manually focusing ( I need glasses and haven't worn them for five years since I got them) I'd rather be blind than have a migraine


    glad you liked and looked

    it's wonderful ---we'll be supportive...

    Great pic, Natalie - but I have a confession...

    I was waiting for a payout on a web site I just built and I was gearing up to buy a D70 and a few lenses and such. The check, however, has been in the proverbial mail for a while, so I started reconsidering my options...and it happened... I didn't mean it to... it just did...

    I changed my mind...

    I'm now buying the 10D...

    You don't need to convince me that I need a D70. It's been on my shopping list for some time. Unfortunately the shopping list has only been getting longer, not shorter.

    BTW the photo is absolutely gorgeous.

    ah the name

    I wish I could say it had some extraordinary meaning, but it really is just a little joke/endearment from my hubbie. It stuck and now it is an integral part of my psyche.

    I am all that is Fru because the older I get the more fru-like I am in my husbands eyes. (I will keep on assuming it's a good thing since there is usually laughter and kisses involved.)

    that's similar to our daughter

    she is the nunge

    except it's not so endearing...since nunge is what she's called when she's being less than happy...

    ex: stop being a nunge, no more crying...sad part is she responds to it.... LOL
