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
F/32 at 500th of a sec
You should see the pics I trashed

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
)
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.

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

I sit corrected.
And finally, a sharp image from a Stigma.
