Life through a lens: August 2013

Yet another sunrise.

While I love the view and don't mind getting up to capture it, I'm starting to chafe at the mobility restrictions keeping me at home...

This shot isn't as focused as I'd like, but it's been a while ;)

We live in a beautiful city.

There are hiking paths in the valley that my daughters hike every chance they get. For much of the time, you can't tell you're in a city, never mind downtown.

Beautiful.

A word on our equipment.

Philippe: Nikon D80 (new toy) with several lenses (50mm prime, 70-300 zoom, 90mm macro). I'm thinking my next lens is a wide angle (I've got a hole up to 70mm, not counting the 50)

Anna: I am now using Philippe's old Nikon D70 and trying to figure out this whole DSLR thing. I think I'm getting the hang of it. Previously, I'd been using a Canon Powershot S3, which I really liked. I will probably still use it for its video capability and smaller size every now and then. I tend to either be "documenting" what we do as a family (then putting them together as DVD movies, which I make copies of to share with family) or playing with macro. I love macro. Mostly I use an 18-55, but sometimes I borrow Philippe's macro lens. That's one thing I prefer about the non-DSLR. No changing lenses.
