Snaps

Ever since we got out of college (over 4 years ago), Matt and I have been wanting to get a digital SLR… but it was never quite the right time, money wise. In high school, and some into college, Matt used his film SLR, but by the time you pay for film and processing, film photography is a pricey hobby, so his film SLR has been sitting on our shelves, collecting dust. Digital with its instant and free development is such a nice way to go. We've been doing fine with our smaller, cheaper digitals. But sometimes, there's a shot that requires a really fast camera (think Loki), or a macro lens and you just can't get the shot you want. That's kinda disappointing. So after saving for a good while, we bit the bullet and purchased the Nikon D200. Matt's camera was a Nikon and so his flash and lenses all fit the new camera, so it's not as expensive a proposition as it could be. We were going to wait a bit longer and save s'more dough, but we're going on our Yellowstone trip next month and we want some time to play around with the camera and get used to it before we leave. I can hardly think of a better place to take a ton of photos than Yellowstone … woohoo!
