I was a really good boy this year. Santa (wife and kids) got me a nikon d3200 dslr 24mp digital camera. Came with a 18-55mm lense, but they also got me a 70-300mm zoom lense, class 10 hi speed sd card, carry bag and copy of adobe elements11 to go with it. Also got a lithium cordless drill+a driver bit kit all in one sweet carry case. No pic of drill, but here is camera......

I didn;t do too badly - a brinkmann trailmaster limited edition smoker. although the family will benefit as much as I will.

when you add the cost of the meat, and extras I needed to modify it , the time involved to cook , the beer needed while cooking and everything else then it could turn out to be an expensive present!!

especiaaly as I also now need a fridge for the beer outside and a freezer for the amount I'm gonna cook!!

Hi Louie,

You also might want to look into Adobe Lightroom 4.  It has a great cataloging system and is great for post processing.  I also have Elements and it's easy to move an image to it and back from Lightroom to do more adjustments if you wish. 

Anyway Happy Shooting and sorry folks for the photographic post here when we should be talking BBQ.   :-)

Just remember, at 24 mp, you better have LOTS of storage space on that ol computer.

flash,

my daily internet computer is just a cheapy hp net book. takes care of everything i do on net. its a lil 110 series 10in screen toy. i do have a desktop computer bro built for gaming for wife n kids. they barely use it, so i imagine there's plenty of space on it for photos. the sd card they got me for camera is a 32gig. 

coyote flatz, thanks for the heads up on the lightroom 4. I haven't even had time to install elements on the computer yet. spent last 2 weeks getting ready to go to vegas. leaving tomorrow. attending the **shot show**. drive out every year. needless to say, I'm going to have 4500 miles round trip + 7 days in vegas to fiddle with camera and settings. won't be able to play with elements till i get home around the 22nd or so.

 That's good.  I shoot sports and went thru 6000 shots last season for just Little League and I only use a 10 mp Nikon. An external HD fits my bill. Just remember you do not have to shoot at 24 mp and anything from 6 to 10 mp will deliver more than good enough photos for printing. Have fun.
 

NOT. I wish though. This was my first car. The guy I sold it to in '86 still has it and one of these days I'll talk him out of it again.

My best present this year is a chance at a new career. School starts on the 28th!! I''ll keep y'all posted, but it does involve a funny hat.

Hey All

I should mention that Linda got a LARGE (damn near broke me) spa gift certificate from me and the 3 book set from Duck Dynasty from her daughter (which I am just dieing to read.  Sad to say, Linda is an extremely slow reader so odds are good I'll have a birthday before I get to read some of Phill's wisdom.)  I relate totally with Phill--my wife and step daughter both say that I'm just a beardless version of Phill  You can't have a beard in the oil patch.  LOL
