Yes, but you don't need to go out and buy a $5000 camera just because you have the money. It's often a waste of gear and money. Learn how to use stuff before you go for the really high end toys.

I'm thinking of learning the violin. Anyone know where I can buy a Strad?

Why does he care? Isn't it yours?

Technically/legally and in papers its not... But in reality it is haha he is the president of the corporation, I am the corp secretary but I do most of the decision making and the daily operations with one of the incorporator that owns 25% of the company. I effectively own 75%

Besides he just really like to mess with us haha he is such a traditional chinese man

Finished off AC: Brotherhood, so I'm ready for Revelations whenever that comes out

As far as Arkham, I didn't finish the first game, so I probably won't get City for a good long while yet.

Hey, you didn't say anything about my 70-200 f/2.8 shots! I'm feelin' neglected here!

I'm sure plenty of parents would get their kids the good stuff if it was economically feasible With the high prices of weekly lessons (usually $30-$50 an hour), scrimping is a necessity, especially with the US economy in tatters.

Oh? Since when are you chinese?

Don't neglect Tony, Moko! He doesn't play nice.

I'd fire him too! Take all the profit so you can get that Nikon D3s and D3x you've always wanted!

That first one was stellar. You're sure that was at f/2.8? How far away was that bird? I tended to get good results at close distances, but targets further away, my 70-200 II was just so much better.

The second one... I don't know. Focus is spot on, but... looks like a little CA with maybe a hint of halation? In any case, that looks a lot more like what I was seeing with my copy. Doesn't appear very sharp with any type of distance. I also wasn't a huge fan of how that lens rendered colors...

Super. Monkey can put together a flip-book showing his fathers displeasure in slow-motion.

Here's Steven with his new Nikon D3X.

Well, they were both hand-held at f/2.8, ISO 800, meaning a "bit" of a loss there.

But I don't know what you mean about the Wood Duck and color...it looked good to me. I have other shots that are better for showing fine detail, though, I just don't want to "hog" this thread!
