Oooh, I like my new camera.

Long story short...

On our last day, at the last place we visited in Yellowstone, I fell and my Nikon D70 took a nose dive and stopped working.

So at Best Buy, on a 24 months, no interest, plan, I purchased a Nikon D300.

I've spent the last couple of weeks learning what it can do.

Here is one of the first shots I took that really shows off it's low light capability:

A little stage wash, but mostly the music stand light only.

Other then then cropping it down a bit, I've done no post processing

Wow! That's really awesome! Of course, I'm speaking from a non-photog-geek platform.

Is it wrong from a music-geek-platform that I'm trying to make out the little black notes on the music? :D
