This is much harder than saying goodbye to my 70-300mm VR.  I am selling my D90 in the next few days to pull together what I need to pick up the D700 next week.  I am so excited to make this upgrade but I am sad that it is at the expense of this camera.

It is time for me and my 70-300mm VR to part ways.  I was pretty excited when I got it but since my obsession with fast glass set in, it rarely made its way out of my bag.  So, it is time to say goodbye so that I can make some of the upgrades that I have been saving for over the past few months.   I will be listing the lens on eBay in the next 24 hours so if you are interested in it, let me know.

On a side note: Holy cow! It is day 200 already!  Wow!  I can’t believe that I have made it this far!!

It has been an amazing weekend of music, friends, food, and fun.  A little wiped out so I thought I would go the iPhone photograph route today.  I hope you all had as fun of a weekend as I did!

I took this earlier today when I was at LAX picking up Miranda.  It is the first time that I have taken a photograph with my iPhone and then edited it in Lightroom.  I may do this a little more often now that there is a better camera on the new iPhone.

I may have thrown a few of you (including Miranda) a loop over the last week when I dropped my iPhone 3GS in favor of the HTC EVO just to move to an iPhone 4 just a few days later.  Here I hope to summarize my thoughts on the experience.

The combination of  knowing that it could have been weeks before I could have gotten my hands on an iPhone 4, discovering the HTC EVO, and learning about Sprint’s 30 no risk trial all propelled me into a Sprint store last week to give the EVO a shot (once I tracked one down of course).

The EVO is a beast.  It has a solid build and feels great in your hand.  The device is blazing fast, the Sprint service is perfect, and the screen is humongous.  When it is in your hand it makes the iPhone look like a toy.  I really cannot say anything too bad about the phone itself other than the battery life is very poor (which is a well documented issue).

So, if I was so impressed with the EVO, why did I drop it after a week to go back to the world of Apple?  Being a Mac and an iPhone user over the past few years I have become quite accustomed to how the devices and the software worked together.  iTunes, iCal, iPhone, and Address Book are useless when you want to move their contents onto a non-iPhone mobile device.  Yes, there are third party software programs out there that can assist with this but the ones I had tried were not stable or they were not free.

Lastly, I have also become accustomed to the service that I receive when taking any Apple product into the Genius Bar. I was concerned that the same level of service if I had a similar issue with the EVO would not be there if I needed it with Sprint.

All that said, I am happy to have the iPhone 4 in my pocket and the familiarity and elegance that comes with it.  My interest is piqued with the Android system and the phones that use them.  I will be keeping my eye out to see how they advance and integrate themselves over the next year.

I am curious to know your experiences with this.  Do you favor the Apple or the Android run phones?

You know how I mentioned last week that I was going to try out the EVO?  Well, it didn’t last too long.  I gave it a shot but it was like trying to smash a square peg into a round hole.  I will explain a little more this weekend with all of the details.

I had the last society meeting of the term tonight and the president of the society who was chairing his last meeting really wanted a luau theme for the night and boy did he get one.  I took a minute to make this photograph with my iPhone between the festivities of the night with the Lo-Mob application

I’ll be honest.  My brain is fried.  After poking around the house for a bit trying to find something interesting to photograph for today I thought to myself, ‘hey, why not take a photograph of your camera”.  I know.  Lazy.  I promise I will do better tomorrow.

One thing that I love about the older Nikkor lenses is that fact that they still have an aperture ring that you can manually adjust.  This is my “nifty fifty” opened all the way up.

Ok, maybe disaster is a little strong but this afternoon I noticed that my La Crosse charger was upside down and my Eneloop batteries were spilled all over the floor.  Three of the four were easy to locate but the it didn’t take me too long to find the fourth.  It was buried in the blankets in the puppies kennel chewed beyond repair.  I am glad I found it when I did before but they dug too deeply into it.
