Puppy Nikon Photo Blogging

My wife and I have two English bulldogs that are a little over a year old named Clementine and Sydney.  I thought I would share with you several pictures of them.  All but the pool photo was taken with the Nikon D70.

Enjoy.

Avalon

I added pictures of Avalon taken from the Nikon D70 to our photo album section that can be found towards the bottom of the column to the right.  I hope you enjoy them.  Unfortunately, I believe www.blogs.com edits down the photo quality for the photo albums. 

However, I think there are still some nice shots to share.  It is fun using such a good camera.  Hopefully with time I will get better at using it. 

Catalina and Avalon in particular is very special to me.  It is where I proposed to my wife 6 years ago this February.  The day we were there was beautiful, and it brought back fond memories.  Enjoy!

More Photos from the Nikon D70

The resolution on these photos have been really scaled back.  But on the whole, I am very happy with the shots.  They were taken by Will during the closing throughout the day. 

Enjoy the updated photos.  And Merry Christmas to you all!

Closing - Update

It is a beautiful day up in San Francisco today.  Here are some images from the law offices we are signing documents at.

So far everything continues to go very smoothly.  Enjoy the pictures!

Nikon D70 Arrives

I just received it today.  Must say I was pleased with the service and price of the camera.  I bought the Nikon D70 in a package deal called the Nikon Double Lens Executive Kit.  The price is $1,593 with $170 in Nikon rebates ($1,423 total).  The kit includes:

• Nikon  D70 Digital SLR Camera Body
• Nikon  28-100 f3.5-5.6 G AF zoom nikkor lens
• Nikon  70-300/4-5.6D ED ZOOM AF NIKKOR
• Digital Concepts 62mm Deluxe Filter Kit (3 Filters)
• High-Speed  1GB Compact Flash Memory Card
• Special  High Speed Compact Flash Card Reader
• Sakar  1300mAh EN-EL3 Lithium Battery
• Camera Bag
• Camera Screen Protectors
• 3pc. Lens Cleaning Kit

Now I have to learn to use it!  My wife and are excited to have it before the holidays.  After I have something worth showing, I will put up a photo album.

Getting Ready

I know next to nothing about digital photography.  I am eager to learn, especially now that we have a new member of our family on the way.  We had been making due with an older film camera and disposable film cameras as we waited for technology to improve and costs to go down.  My wife and I really like the Nikon SLR D70.  Glenn Reynolds has written about it often with glowing reviews. 

So we ordered it today with two Nikon lenses and hope to have it before Thanksgiving.  I look forward to putting online a photo album of pictures.
