With the greatest of ease, a member of the Extreme Team goes for a basket at Apps home game against Western Carolina yesterday. I used my D300 yesterday to test it's ability to work under the gym lights. This shot is at ISO 3200 and the noise...what noise?
The D300 makes me wanna go to a night time high school baseball game just to test it's capabilities further.
For my Mom and Dad and anyone else interested in what I am doing in my new job:
Here's a site which posts some of my campus grab shots. Be sure to click on the view more feature photos option.
Gnumoon and I worked the Polar Plunge together. This is our future and it makes me happy.
On the home front:
Sweet husband is sewing an MC Hammer costume for my youngest's upcoming competition dance season. He's doing it because I basically refused. He's a better mother than I. Youngest is helping him, but she is a bit overwhelmed with a massive English project, math, AP exams, dance and other teenage life torments. Last night as she toiled over writing a paper, she suddenly stopped what she was doing and said in almost a pitiful tone, "I really hope these aren't the best four years of my life."
Later, she read her paper to me and all I could think was, "Wow, that's powerful." She has a gift for writing and communicating, whether it is through body movements or the written word, she has a quiet, unpretentious way of getting her point across. I pray she never loses her demeanor.
I'm gonna keep her.
