A week ago I had seen a high-school girl at Lake Gladewater, where I go very often, taking photos with her Nikon D100 for her class. It made me feel ridiculous, given that I have had the very portable (and higher resolution) D40x since late May, and had at this time had the new 18-55mm VR lens--very lightweight but with VR--for about a week, yet never took them there to try & get any good shots. So today a week later I took the combination with me to get some shots, here's the 1st. (20080923_153736_rj_d40x)
