Goodbye Nikon D200 + Pass on 7D + Yosemite 2010

Journal Entry: Sun Nov 1, 2009, 4:51 PM


Well, today I said goodbye to my Nikon D200. I sold it and will be selling off a 18-200mm VR lens and maybe my D40 body as needed so that I can get me a new camera.

I know this may be a let down to some of my peers, but I will not be taking the plunge into the Canon lineup. Whats funny is that a Canon shooter got all in my grill about why i was liking it and little did he know, he talked me into my original idea for upgrade, and that is to go with the Nikon D300s. Actually it wasn't all him, there is an article in this months Digital Photo Pro called "Comparing Photosites". I may cut a financial corner and go with a used D300 depending on what I sell and how soon.


Also, there is a chance I may be taking a trip with ~sailrsandy to Yosemite in May of 2010. So with that being said... anyone have the photographers guide to touring Yosemite??? It's going to be my responsibility for navigating us to all "the spots"... so any input would be spectacular, particularly from those that have been.

Oh, and go check out =vxside if he is not on your watch list already, he has some great work in his gallery! He recommended I try a tilt shift edit in PS for my fisheye shot of Grand Central, and I am glad I did... because the whole use of Gradient tool is really going to make a nice edition to my editing skills.... came in particularly useful in balancing out the light in a water shot I did recently, called Passage to Blue.
