It seems I do things in cycles...dA is no exception. After a few months hiatus I am back. I have some new photos to submit and the news [if anyone still reads this] that I finally got a REAL DSLR! My husband was kind enough to loan me the use of part of our tax refund so I could buy a D70S off ebay. After some issues with the sensor, sending it away to Nikon to be fixed, and harassing the seller for compensation, I have my baby back! I tell you, angels sang when I pressed that shutter release and now I'm addicted. I took a walk with it and got some decent pictures, nothing groundbreaking in the world of photography but it was a nice exercise
