RELEASE THE PHOTONS!

So, at the indirect urging of family members, I got myself a present. Look, ma, I even found the self-timer!

These are nice; you have a good eye!

Very nice - you've got a good eye.

BTW, you can probably get around it refusing to take photos in autofocus mode unless it gets focus confirmation. I shoot Canon, so I'm not sure what the appropriate magic words are, but I'm sure they exist. "Release priority" vs. "focus priority" are the conceptual terms.

I'm guessing the 55-200 is the f/4.0-5.6 VR version? I've heard that's a good lens for a very good price. I'd probably pick it up but, well, Canon. Plus I'm addicted to fast glass. It's an expensive addiction. :(

Very cool. I am glad you are doing nice things for yourself. :)

Those all came out really really well. We shoot all of our LARP stuff on my Canon Rebel XTi - Digital SLRs are in fact a lot of fun :)

Awesome! And awesome photos!
