Thanks, Lee. It's actually a Nikon D50. I have 2 lenses that I use regularly, a 70-300 zoom and the 28-80 that came with the kit. They are both great lenses, but you need sufficient light to get the most out of them. They are neither good for low light conditions. If you need more info on the setup, let me know. You have a pretty good eye for shots, Lee, so I think you could do well with the Nikon.
I got laid off on Wednesday, BTW. I got a reasonable severance, so one of the possibilities that I am mulling over is going into photography full time. But I have a bit to figure it out and am in no hurry to jump on the next job that comes along. I actually have the luxury of being a little selective this time.
