No F-ing way.

P.S. I love that ISO 25600 on the 6D is as good as ISO 3200 was on my 60D. So sad.

I hear you. I was shooting the two girls at the same bar last night, so I took a f/1.8 50 and D200
and a D90 with a 3.5-5.6 18-55mm and 'locked down' my ISO at 1250, too keep noise down,
and then out-thought myself one step FURTHER, telling myself I did not have to shoot them wide open,
no, I wanted the pictures to be SHARP, so I stop it down some, too, and I get home and I have a mountain
of blurred photos, and weak focus from shake. And weak focus from zone errors, stuff like perfectly focused
MICROPHONES and 5hit like that. SUCH an amateur. I sat there and shot on ridiculously low shutter speeds,
CAUSE I AM SMART, I KNOW MORE THAN A CAMERA. Stuck that sucker in A-priority to keep my photos 'sharp', lol.

Stupid a55.

I mean, I DID get some great shots. I always find a way. But the ratio is laughable.

I have some good lenses in stock now, this other stuff was bought for the D100 and D70.
They are not the showpiece items that allow me to shoot tele in a bar or football games or anything,
but a good mix of ranges in AF-D lenses and some nice AIS pieces in primes. Got a 2.8 24mm AI, a 3.5 135mm AI,
a 1.8 50mm AF-D, a 35mm 1.8 AF-S, a 35-135mm AF-D, a sharp 70-210mm AF-D, my Sigma 10-20mm, so I have
things I can use. What lacks in me at the moment is smarts and technique. I do dumb things and use lazy
technique. Its the viewfinder curse....you SEE a great picture, never knowing that what you are actually
recording is digital SHI+. And I am blind as a frickin bat. That never helps in a 'focus' hobby.

How many THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS do you think I could have saved had I just listened to you up front?
I should have sent that mistake D700 back to BH and said, "Hey how about an honesty discount on another one
off your shelf? Maybe picked up a polished one for 1300.... NO D90, No 2 D200s, no $75 D50. No $99 D-70 with 69k snaps.

I am thinking about plunking down my $15 bucks in the morning for the Memphis Zoo.
Pull nice save out of my butt for the weekend. TODAY waas so nice, I think lot of
folks hit the zoo, I think I can beat the after church crowd if I open the place up at 9am.
Makes sense to me. Maybe I will get lucky.
