Michael sent me a text few days ago asking if I had taken over 1,000 photos on the new camera. After a moment’s contemplation, I sadly admitted that I hadn’t. Christmas went wonderfully well (450+), but since then it’s been bitterly cold, with nothing to photograph.
So this morning I decided to break out the AF-D lens and practice manually focusing images. Both Nora and Lisa were adamant that I NOT take pictures of them, so I took pictures of the cats (again).

“You talkin’ to me? You talkin’ to me? You talkin’ to me? Then who the hell else are you talkin’ to?
The new lens has manual focus (obviously) but I’m very uncomfortable using it. The focus ring recedes into the lens making it pretty difficult to use at certain lengths. I probably should just used to it – the VR function is a significant upgrade over the AF-D lenses.
When the baby is born and/or it gets warmer, I promise much more interesting compositions.
