Paula's new toy - Aug., 2009

Well, another year nearer to Medicare...... This birthday business seems to happen so much more quickly than in the past.
Vic sure does his best to make it all worthwhile. The camera we have used these past six years decided to get persnickety. I doubt that falling and giving it a good hard bang on the side of the Jeep did it any good. Resolution was no longer as good after that and fully half of all the photos taken were blurry. So......here I am with the new toy - a Nikon D90 with a Tamron 18-270mm lens. All I have to do now is memorize the 275 page manual and learn how to put it all to use....... The learning curve is steep but fun!
On top of that I've now added a HP four-in-one that prints wonderful photos! I think I've died and gone to Heaven...... Homemade photo greeting cards are in my future. Thanks, Vic! A few practice shots at Finger Lakes Live Steamers, the large-scale train club to which Vic belongs.
And a few taken here at home
