Yeh, yeh... I know... I should be blogging something with "more content"... but I've been collecting a few awesome quotes lately, felt like sharing... and at least I spent time making it pretty!! LOL! (You gotta give me something for effort here!)

Enjoy...

**P.S. This doesn't mean that I don't still want the gadgets... oh, I still do! He he he...

Happy Birthday Nikkor!

First up... I will confess that I am a Nikon girl. Nikon or Canon? Who is better? In my opinion, it's really a stupid question. I've seen great photos produced by people shooting with both brands. A quality paintbrush helps, but does not make the painting...

After testing at the 2012 Olympics,
Nikkor also launched their brand new
800mm, last week!
OK... now that that is out there, let's move on... as a Nikon user, I feel that I have to sing a wee verse of "Happy Birthday" to Nikkor! (He he he... I bet you are glad this is a silent medium... a singer I am NOT!) Nikkor is Nikon's brand of lenses, and 2013 marks their 80th Anniversary.

To mark the occasion, they have added another couple of nice lenses to their collection (the AF-S NIKKOR 800mm f/5.6E FL ED VR Telephoto and AF-S NIKKOR 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5G ED Wide-Angle)... and for those of us without an immediate spending budget(!), they've made a wee movie to give us a wee glimpse into their production process. Pretty fascinating, and makes me feel pretty bad when I whine I have to clean just 1 or 2 lenses...
