Photography 2016

My on-and-off-again photography hobby might see more ‘on’ than ‘off’ this next year…

It was long past time to replace the ol’ D70, and I found a spectacular deal on a refurbished D7100 before the holidays.  I couldn’t not pull the shutter.

I got a nice gift from Santa, too — a Sigma 10-20mm wide-angle lens.   It’s … wide.

Now, I’m to the point that had made me reluctant to upgrade — editing.  These ~5MB jpgs and ~30MB RAW files really chew on the system resources pretty fiercely.

It’s also pretty amazing that, not even five years ago, I shot 60GB of pics on my first trip to Germany (and needed a bunch of CF cards AND and external HDD to accomplish that).   Now, I could do that on two SD cards (and not even remove them from the camera!)

Technology relentlessly marches on.
