A special day for me - I reached the ripe old age of 60!!!

So, being an exhibitionist, I decided to capture for prosperity - me :!:

Pointed the faithful 105mm macro at my face - auto focus - SB800 (it’s a wonder I can type this!) - and the result is below - which has told me I need to do a bit of plucking :wink:

F/32 at 500th of a sec

You should see the pics I trashed :roll:

Chris

And lay off the red wine. You're eyes are a little bloodshot.

Congratulations on 60. Hope you're going to celebrate.

I turn 50 in August - I'm looking forward to a big party with all my good friends (thats as opposed to my Sony friends :wink: )

I hope the next 60 years are kind to you!

Happy Birthday Chris!

You've only got 4 more years so you better start singing...

When I get older, can't see my lens, many years from now,
Will I still be shooting all those marriage times, birthday greetings,
still life with wine?
If I went out and bought a Nikkor 43, would you hate me more?
Will you still need me, will the D70 leave me,
When I'm sixty-four?

Congrats Chris, Stubbsy is right, stay off the reds because your eyes are red.... go for the white instead. :lol:

You would expect that accuracy from a Nikkor, but I am sure it would be from a Sigma 105 :wink:
