Two weeks plus of no internet was refreshing, getting back to relaxing and basics was really nice. Have fun on your cruise

Oi cat! Welcome back!! we missed you!

Your ex-1D is still kicking some serious butt here. However as I am travelling soon and travelling light (taking only 1 body, the lighter 5D), it will be going on a Christmas vacation.

Thank you sir, the 5D is a very versatile camera, good choice. I see your getting a 70-200 F/4L IS, you'll have to let me know how it handles

Definitely...will keep y'all posted once that decision goes through (buying locally so the 'countdown' is not a time to delivery)

I played with one in the local camera shop and was very impressed with it, was hand-holding at 1/8th a sec at 200mm, very cool

Yeah, everything looks good on that 70-200 F4 IS so far. (at least I hope so because I just decided to sell my 1-4 to buy it )

you did what

Welcome back, too bad you had to leave Hawaii

Looking forward to a trip down memory lane. Probably the closest I'll get to the nicest spots on earth.

Sounds like you did a little more hiking than I did, I was mostly 4-wheeling.

Best,

Thanks, I agree thats its the nicest place on earth, will never get enough of Hawaii, might move there someday. Its a photographers dream We have never done much off roading there, but there is plenty of places to go

My wife and I did the same trip (Big Island and Kauai) in May. We had a wonderful time and we'd recommend it to anyone. You do need tough boots for that hike to the lava flows!
