I think I have set a new record: 1 registered member and 8 stalkers, err, guests.

[redacted] them and the horses they rode in on.

Off to Ft. Lauderdale today for a week. Not vacation, I will be attending to some family matters to help my Mom and Dad. But it sure will be nice to have some warm weather (I hope!)

Be honest. How many people are keeping track of this statistic?

A guy named Johnson won the NBA slam dunk competition.
Who?

Yes, you are correct.
Sorry.

I watched the Kentucky-Tennessee game last night. It reminded me of the NBA.

Sloppy continuous fast break attempts. Not a whole lot of passing. In fact, it kind of reminded me of many high school games I have seen.

I spent some time yesterday at the camera store, trying out lenses. I took a few shots with a 50mm lens (fast, cheap, sharp) and a 105mm macro ($$$). Had intended to look at a 60mm macro ($$) but they didn't have one at the store. I think that I've convinced myself that the 50mm lens would be a good one to have because it is very fast and therefore good for low light situations. I'm torn on the macro, though. Anyone have experience with 60mm vs 105mm macro lenses?
I took one shot with the macro that absolutely blew me away. Otherwise I thought my shots with the 50mm lens were better. My guess is that the macro lens requires some practice. I'm supposed to go back tomorrow to try out the 60mm macro; I think I'll take a prop with me and see what I can do. What would be a good prop for trying out a macro lens? Something small with lots of detail, right?
