Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory

A while back Merisi (whose Vienna for Beginners blog I check out daily for the amazing photos,)suggested that I might want to upgrade to a single lens reflex camera. And she suggested a Nikon D80.

So now we have house guests and one of them has . . . a Nikon D80. Vic very kindly showed me has to use it and then turned me loose.

I'm convinced. I spent a pleasant hour or two wandering around the garden with this camera. The pictures here are from this camera and there are more in this web album. I see a BIG difference. And I didn't even begin to explore all the bells and whistles.

I still like the little Lumix for carrying all the time but I have a real feeling that a SLR is in my future.
