This will amuse you.....

Unread post by Wildieswife »

There is a story behind this image. 5 years ago my husband switched from Minolta/Konica Milnolta to N***n as he started a Wildlife Photography degree and all the equipment to borrow (like massive lenses) was either C***n or N***n.
I inherited his KM7d /lenses etc and soon got the A700. He stuck with the Nikon D300/D300S until.............

For my birthday (big one ending with a zero) I got the A77. What a wonderful camera. When he saw the pixels,the WISIWIG live view etc etc he suffered badly and heyho a few weeks ago he also acquired one. Plus the Tamron 17-50mm (like mine) and also gear to fix this new camera to his 'stackshot' and bellows.He'll get a macro lens come Spring and Summer - unless a good deal pops up beforehand.

I took a commemorative photograph to celebrate his return to the fold ;) (With the N***n, unfortunately)

Hope you all had a good Xmas and sorry for my long absence - 'pot boiler' work and looking after my grandson.

Thankyou for the comments :)

The cameras mirror reality - "He" has married a slightly older female. :lol:

I hope that the two A77s will continue to be very happy together :)

Looking forward to more of your pictures.
