Uncle Frank and I meet once in a while over a cup of real java (no, none of that "virtual stuff" ), chit-chat in general and compare notes on our respective gear, and marvel at Belle when I bring her along.
It turns out that since the last time we did this, Uncle Frank acquired the 28-70 f/2.8, a.k.a. "the Beast", and I acquired a used D2H, a.k.a. "the Machine Gun". :shock::lol: It's funny (and expensive :! how the equipment acquisition syndrome is hitting all of us :roll:... but I digress.
Logically, we had to fight it out, in the classic duel style of years gone by... (all with D2H + 17-55DX).
Here is Frank with his Dirty Harry "do you feel lucky, punk, do you?" look, trying to indimate me before the shoot out.
This is my view of the combat field, i.e. from my chair and my side of the table.
Frank will no doubt post his! ;-)
Since I had brought Belle to show Frank how well behaved (following a series of training classes) and how pretty she has become, she was also a favorite target.
Here is our famed shooter at the height of the action
She is looking at him, like a good model would.
All in all, a very enjoyable morning, as usual. Thanks Frank! :lol:
