New Gear



My D40X has started its conversion as an IR camera. $180 will get the glass piece I need to complete it, and then a Hoya 72 IR filter will allow for false color IR images, and the current Tiffen 87 will allow for IR B&W.

In my normal photography, a D80 has taken my D40X's place. Unfortunately, soon after I got my new camera, my 55-200mm lens broke. I've been eyeing a 70-200mm f/2.8 at the local photo store. This might be the perfect time to upgrade.

So far I haven't taken a lot of shots with the D80. Saturday there were some ice runner sail boats on the lake. Here's a shot with my 18-55mm. It's not what I would have liked, but tried to make do with the wide angle.
