Surprise...Almost!

All morning I've been waiting for the doorbell to ring...you know, one of those times when you've never felt more anxious. This always happens when I play the waiting game for new camera gear. The post man just delivered the mail, my heart nearly stopped thinking it was the UPS man. Curse those bills! 

I'll keep this one short because poor Anthony is exhausted from all his excitement playing the waiting game, as well. Tomorrow, my friends. Tomorrow I shall reveal my surprise. In the meantime, here's a hint! ;) 

Surprise Lenses

Woke up this morning and came straight to my computer to chat with Anthony. I could tell he was very giddy - anxious, really. He had been telling me all week that I would be getting a few surprises from him in the mail. Naturally I was ecstatic and couldn't wait! I begged for hints but he refused to tell me. Fair enough. 

As we were Skyping, the post man rang my doorbell and I just about squealed! My surprises had arrived! I signed for the packages and came back to my computer only to see Anthony with a huge smile on his face. Perfect timing. I ripped open the packages - one of them labeled "fragile - handle with care" but that didn't stop me from my barbaric actions. 

Lenses. Lenses were waiting to see the light! One Nikon Lens Series E 135mm f/2.8 (fully manual telephoto lens) and one 60mm f/2.8D Nikkor Micro lens. I was so excited for the macro lens...only because shooting with the manual lens is something I'll have to practice...a lot with. 

I went to my typewriter and took a few practice shots with my new 60mm lens. So thank you, my little Anthony. I really appreciate the surprise! :) 

I'll see what nifty things I can shoot this weekend with my new lenses. Until then, have a great weekend!
