Thank God that 2014 is over!! I am hoping that this year is an improvement over last year! Since many of you have been asking, I am happy to report that I am all finished with surgery, chemo, and radiation. I am now trying to recover from the damage that the actual treatments did!
And I want you all to know that I appreciate all of the kindness you have shown me during the last 9 months. It really helped!

But That's really not what this post is about. What I really want to talk about is my new D810. What a camera!! I am only scratching the surface with this camera but I can already see that it is a quantum leap over my D300. And I loved my D300! Below is a pic taken at the Syracuse Zoo. It was cropped at probably 200%, but look at how sharp and how much detail is still there, without noise!

This next pic is also along the same lines. It is a very heavy crop of a Spectacled Bear at the zoo, but it still retains excellent detail and sharpness.

Now don't get me wrong, it's not a miracle camera. If you are lazy with your shot discipline and think you can get away with poor technique, you will be very disappointed. But this is a good thing, because it makes you work on and improve your technique. And I can use all the help I can get!
I think I'm going to like this camera...... More to come!
