That was a long weekend????

So how are you all feeling????  Stuffed with turkey or ham perhaps????  I would suggest that this is that time of year where the eating out weighs the exercise.  That may truly be the case in some instances.  I am for the most part at a stand still my leg is getting better the stairs are now manageable but the old hamstring is still not 100%   I did manage to get out and walk a bunch on the weekend.  I can say that did help keep things moving and loose.  Not too mention I was able to eat a little bit more than one should of the old pumpkin pie.  Love that stuff.

So what to report in with or what to talk about?  No real big news.  I am however in a lens dilemma.  I have taken to ebay and found some older lenses that maybe are more manual.  I am still waiting for the one to arrive,   I think it should be more AF than the other one.  But the other one is very clean and looks and feels good.  First impressions are that it is not bad for the price.  But flare....wow lots of flare. I am thinking maybe the other lens which is series 1 vivitar may be less flare.  I am hoping.  I also have on my shelf a very nice Nikon 85mm 1.8f g lens, wow is it sharp and very fast.  It is a loner from a friend that I am considering in this pursuit to buy a less in that middle range.  Being fixed and a prime you expect it to be sharp.  The vivitar are 28-85mm the first a standar 3.5 to 4.6 and has a macro, the minimum focus distance is ok but not 100% what I am after.  The next one that I am waiting for is 2.8 and has more wide angle with no macro.  So we will see, it should be here.

I am off for a week at the end of the month and I have a plan to go and do a bunch of longer days on the road with the camera.  I am going to go to Lethbridge and pick up the girl as she is coming up for the dixie chicks concert as well.

But in general the weekend was quick, I worked on Saturday and also a short stint on Sunday.  But the time flew by.  Sinclaire was home, it was nice she is such a ball of energy, we sat and chatted for an hour and a half on Friday just me and her, she had a bunch of stuff to get out of her head I guess.

Always nice having her home.

I am also going to be doing some more painting.  Finished all the doors and jams now.  I am going to start on the upstairs.  Never ends really.  But I am going to see how things go as Traci is off for a scrapbooking weekend in Pincher Creek and as luck would have it I am not on call this weekend so maybe I can get out to the mountains for some photogs......


Or stay home and paint....nah......photos.

have a good week
