Using the Nikon D80

What an awesome camera. I have had the D80 for about 2 weeks, and I am loving it. I returned the D40 I bought before christmas and went for the D80 because the amount of lenses available for it. The picture quality is amazing. I am having to learn more about setting the shots because 10MP is very unforgiving, but when I get it right it is awesome.

Warriors Game

We had an awesome time recently at the Warriors Game.  The seats were AMAZING, and the court side club was a lot of fun.  They were playing the SuperSonics and won, but the game was really close and Tina was secretly rooting for Seattle.
