Well, it's finally here, my new 1Ds Mark II. The two week estimate turned into three actual. But it's here and it's paid for and I can try out some new photos.

I had always planned to get a spare memory card. But I thought that a 2gb card would do me fine for a couple of months. Even with RAW+large jpeg files at something like 25mb per shot, you can fit a lot of shots on a 2gb card. Enough anyway for the kind of shooting I do, close to home, or at least close to a car where I could have a laptop if needed.

This time I remembered to bring my memory card. I also brought along a spare 2gb backup card I purchased on the spur of the moment. The weather was cooperative (it wasn't raining). In fact, with late afternoon sun mostly peeking through the clouds it was pretty good.
