Congratulations, although getting a new D70 for one's 21st birthday in November is old hat - it's been done here before. :) (clue: Leigh turns 23 next November)

21st? look at your self-portrait (POTW) couple weeks ago, I thought you're just 18YO.

Congrats on both counts.

Congrats Macka. I seem to recall you dropped a hint to Suzanne to that effect recently in one of the threads here. Having seen what you've done so far, I reckon you'll be producing even more quality work now you have your own camera.

Thanks Oneputt. It's hard not to want to put a camera in her hand when you see what she can produce with it. She is clearly the talented one in the family! :D
