A New Camera for Laura!
Laura's interest in photography was reanimated recently when she visited the Kirshner Wildlife Foundation and photographed the wild animals there. I produced a slide show from the photographs she took there.
Laura voiced to me a complaint which has made her less than enthusiastic about photography: Her 10-year-old Nikon Coolpix 995 is simply too slow to capture action.
I have addressed this issue: I ordered for her a new Nikon D5000 DX-Format 12.3 Megapixel Digital SLR Camera, Nikkor 18mm - 55mm f/3.5-5.6G AF-S DX (VR) Vibration Reduction Wide Angle Autofocus Zoom Lens, Nikkor 55mm - 200mm f/4-5.6G ED-IF AF-S DX VR (Vibration Reduction) Autofocus Zoom Lens, and SanDisk 16GB SDHC Storage Card.
