Waiting for a new camera.

I had been thinking about upgrading for sometime now and I just loved the D80 every time I would pick one up. The D300 is mega-neat but i don't feel that I'm making enough money with photography right now to justify buying one. I mean, cripes, I only work part time at it. Well, because the D80 is now a few years old I new (as did everyone else who pays attention to such things) that the D90 would be coming out soon. And now it's almost here! I'm totally geeking out.

Anyway, the above shot is another from the evening I spent with Shane and Sara. This was very simple. One light, Shane and his wine. I didn't tell him to do anything but sit there. What I really trying to do was work on positioning the light and getting my eye used to the different effects. I tried way up close, way far away. And everything in between. And while most of the shots are of Shane sipping, talking to me, talking to Sara or petting Andy the Dog there were a few in the mix that were really striking. I liked this one the most.
