After five years of regular use, my camera gave up on me and I was bereft for what seemed like a very long time. My absence from deviantART marks that time. Withdrawal, introspection, and a nod from my better half followed eventually, and I stepped up to the compact I really wanted.

It's good to be back behind a real SLR. It's not full frame and so many things have changed since I learned to manage such a camera, but so many things are the same. All I lack now is more time to get behind the camera and shoot. And a few tips from the manual on how to adjust the bracketing or quick settings in various modes. And lenses. Always more lenses...

It's still a beautiful world.
