September 6: Helping Out a Nikon Owner ;-)

Encinitas, CA

Today the [SD] North County Photo Club had a little photo shoot at ***Quail Gardens.***

Here my good friend Herb is coaching Daniel (a.k.a. Guido) on 3 reasons why he should sell his Nikon and get a Canon. LOL.

Actually Herb who was our informal leader today was quite helpful to all and gave me some good pointers.

And of course I was using my big gun L lens which is a piece of hardware Herb is superb at.

So Robin, you said...."Here my good friend Herb is coaching Daniel (a.k.a. Guido) on 3 reasons why he should sell his Nikon and get a Canon." And Herb says... 1. Well, let me think, there has to be some reason! 2. Okay, ummm, Canons ARE popular ....and it's good to be popular. 3. Hmmm, ...actually Guido, we could trade, right. Robin and I have been secretly looking at these Nikons for years and may finally take the plunge. He's just waiting for me to get one first. hehe

Someone from the dark side.

Hmmmm, what's that one for--oh! The shutter. At least he doesn't have the magic Nikon that can take a pic even with the cap on, lol!

LOL at Pepe! There are still people out there who shoot with Nikons?! ;-)

I REALLY like Pepe's comment.

snootydog		07-Sep-2005 00:57
That does it.... I am selling all my canon gear and going nikon. I think Guido knows more that we do but he's pretending well here.

nice candid and good commentary :) Sounds like a fun club.

Good candid Robin. Hi there Herb !!

Herb		07-Sep-2005 00:33
Those Nikons are confusing...LOL

Zak		06-Sep-2005 22:04
Helpful Herb! but what is a Nikon? ;-)

Pepe Zyman		06-Sep-2005 21:59
He is actually saying “I can’t do that with my Canon”

David Mingay		06-Sep-2005 21:34
Yeah, I was confused the first time I picked up a N***n. What the???? Press what?

JeremyGood		06-Sep-2005 21:21
Nice shot! I've heard that if you bang those Nikons on a hard rock a few times, they take better pictures. Not really sure though.
