I hear ya about the decisions vs $$$. Keep your eyes peeled; sometimes deals pop up when you least expect them. I wonder if there's a craigslist or swap meet style site specifically for used photo equipment....

When are we going to shoot again? That was fun!!

there's a craigslist category for cameras and equipment. i've gotten a decent deal there on some manual focus lenses.

If i was more savvy about camera equipment, i might trust myself to buy used. When a photo friend commented that mold is an issue in used lenses, i thought, okay, i'll stick to new (on sale) equipment.

I hadn't heard about that before. How would you know if you had a lens with mold? (seems like a silly question - would it just inhibit the view or mess with the AF feature)

Freckle, i have no idea about the mold situation.

But i do know many of my local photog group have purchased lenses on Ebay, Kijijii, etc and been happy with their items.

i'm off to do some more food porn today - gotta love strawberry season. And well, chocolate, that's my year round food group.

Your food photography is amazing. Every photo I've seen has made my mouth water! Lol the detail and lighting is spot on.

Thank you Freckle!

And just so you know, that when i can get my plans sorted out for a weekend down there cruising cemeteries and such, i WILL bring you some treats.

i mean, you are showing such patience, how could i not reward you for that?

I am a picture taker... with a passion for shooting any and everything. Because of that I'm trying to figure just exactly what I shoot best. . .

I have two flickr accounts.... professional stuff here and personal stuff here. I also created and designed my own website and you can find that here.

I'm new to the thread so I just thought I would introduce myself. I haven't read all the way through yet, but I will when I have some time. It's lovely to be in such creative company.

I currently shoot with a Nikon D90 : two lenses (though I'm salivating over a third right now)

I recently just had my first piece accepted to the Commonwealths Equality Dinner -- it was bid on and auctioned... It was just such a validating feeling! You can see it here.

Sorry for the excessive linkage... just thought I'd get it all out there!

ps... did I see something about strawberries and chocolate? I'll be craving that all day now!!

have a lovely weekend!

I am photographing my mama in her garden for Mother's Day on Sunday. I'm looking forward to it.
