yes there is a balloon somewhere. Not sure where but maybe in my home. I am to say the least not impressed with my new (cheap on ebay) lens. Sadly it arrived and one quick look through the glass and it is shot. The lens was not advertised with any defects but it clearly not a usable lens. So now what? I have requested a refund the and seller is agreeing to do this so I am just waiting for the money to arrive. I am really forcing myself to keep off the lens buying but I am in a funny spot with this camera. Do not get me wrong, love my nikon D600 it is a wonderful camera never felt that it was a bad step. But the lenses for this camera are different in that they are all expensive and to get something good is about $1000 bucks. So yes the balloon has gone ppppphhtttt! I am working through ebay and various other used channels to find something but it is really coming down to the fact that I will probably stay with what I have and give up on spending my money right now. I have borrowed an 85mm prime 1.8f from my father in law, it is something he wants to sell I love this lens it is simply put one of the sharpest lenses I know of. I am tempted to sell off a couple of the older ones I have (25$) old lenses and buy this from him. But again it means sneaker zoom. But it means awesome sharp pictures and I like that. So I will have to probably discuss cost at some point. My Wife will love that one.
Moving on, managed to get out and take pictures a few times this week. It is so nice to get out with the camera. I have a lot of fun, working at being a better photographer. I am really into black and white right now I love the idea of that. I have my second print done and in the frame to be hung in the house. That is right 2 whole images, what have I shot.....like 10000, and I have 2 that I love enough so far. Actually I have a bunch from the other fall when took the kids pictures. I am surely not going to forget those, plus a bunch of other stuff I have in small frames. So maybe I am better than the 2 bigger prints.
Too funny.
Well as the weekend rolls past I am 1 week away from vacation, not sure what I will get done that week, want to get out with the camera to some places further out of town, that is if the weather stays good. Have an engineer coming to tell us if we can remove the wall in the front living room, that is right the other half of the house is about to start, seems like we have had enough of a break from things time to get rolling over there.
Well I have 2 pumpkin pies baked up and a nice pork roast getting ready to go in the oven so guess it is back to the kitchen. Maybe I will do something like bake a few potatoes or even oven roast them, that sounds better.
Have a good week.
