Have a great weekend! :-)

An impressive collection, enjoy it!

Fantastic equipment!!

What! No fisheye!? LoL
Jumping in the lake now for a cool down. 105 omg
Then off for Paradise for the weekend!

I now officially have lens envy...:-))

Magenta, I am quite excited. Lucky me that doug has taken to my passion and wants more, too. :)

thanks benny. hopefully I'll get some good shots for you.

kamilla, :)

lisa, I keep looking at the pool. water temp is up to 82. problem is that the furniture is still in there. doug ran out of time to get it out and he is not here. I may swim among the pool furniture later. LOL

nope..no fisheye. I needed really good regular stuff.

Bill...well...I have talent envy. :)

WOW! Lotsa stufffsssss!

that's so I have a choice of which to use when you get here, sweetoes!

Wow!:)

Wonderful image and some great looking toys there my friend, I see you are a Olympus fan, great cameras ;-)))

sini, :)

Cooler, my first digital olympus was a 3030Z. . My current camera, the E3 is fabulous. I love it. The auto focus is so fast and the amount of fps is great!!! Yes, I am an olympus fan. I've even made my hubby a fan since he gets all my hand me downs. :)

I want a picture of you swimming with the chairs.

Very nice, is that pine ? :^)))))

james, no, it's oak.

Wow, very impressive!
Congratulations on your new toys ;-D

(*moan* - I wouldn´t mind having just half of your outfit)! :-)
I really have to *get to it* and buy myself a DSLR. I´ve been meaning to do that for much too long.
The small point-and-shoot camera I´ve got now, really is a hindrance :-(
Oh well...

Best regards,

Oh wow! It is a bit addictive LOL! I have the same sort of thing ..and I carry around everything in a huge back pack that weighs a ton! Looks like a nice kit here ;)

thank you sweetie, you are too generous!!!

have a wonderful weekend!

any photo outings planned for the weekend? I hope to be able to make it to the Wild Bird Sanctuary tomorrow - if I can get up on time.:-)))

karl, go for it. get a new camera!!! :)

Butterfly, yep, my backpack weighs a ton, too. I had a backache last time we went hiking. Doug carries a backpack, too, so we have a ton of stuff we are lugging everywhere we go. I need someone to take a picture of us when we are out with all of the gear. You all would laugh!

Bill, looking forward to the bird sanctuary pictures. it's always fun to go to those.
it's too hot here right now to go anywhere. We are staying close to home, the air conditioning and the pool. :)

Wow! but how do you carry them all?

Jon, between doug and myself...we still manage to get it all out into the field. Of course, we have backaches later in the day.

this is orgasmic!!!!!

What a wonderful...right on target...response! :))))))))

this is soooooooooooooooooooo what im aiming at!!!

Mouth watering stuff. You love Olympus don't you. I can understand brand loyalty. After you invest in one thing it makes sense to stick to the brand. Lenses match etc. Dad has loads of film cameras but they're all gathering dust (only an expression they're lovingly preserved in their boxes), such a pity they're dormant. Well digital is less expensive to run as a hobby so, all hail the new digital kings!

looks like you are ready for War ... choose your weapon .. ;-)

zunkus, you hit it on the head. My very first digital was an Olympus 3030zoom. It still takes great pictures. When my husband purchased my next digital he got me an SLR.
Of course, he stuck with Olympus. Then I started buying lenses. :) Can't switch brands when you have that much invested in lenses! I'm up to an E3 at this point and loving it! :)

gary, this becomes an issue all of the time. I never have the right lens on the right camera! :)
