Nikon party of me!

batskeetsI had my first shoot with my very own Nikon camera body today. (yes, I've finally taken the plunge and started the transition in earnest) It went pretty well, and although the interface still feels a bit weird, I think by the end of the week, it'll start feeling like old hat. <3 Three shoots down, two to go, this week!
I'll also throw down a shot from yesterday's shoot; it feels odd to be posting photos that I shot, but didn't edit myself, but it's pretty damned awesome that I can trust![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
theamazingjosh's judgment enough to know that he'll do good things with them that I would likely do if I were editing. :)
In more frustrating news, I'm apparently not going to be seen by an orthopedist about my knee for another 2 1/2 weeks--and that appears to be the earliest anyone has available, barring a cancellation--so Plan B is to see if I can get in touch with the physical therapist I was seeing a year and a half ago. That could actually work out pretty great, since she already knows the history of my knees and my terrible alignment. Still, all I really want is definitive answers, and guidelines on what I can and can't do.
On the plus (?) side, there were other broken folk sitting the bench with me at derby practice today, and one of the girls taught the rest of us the therapy exercises she's started doing to support her knee, after tearing her PCL. I wish there weren't so many of us sitting on the sidelines, but it was nice to feel like we were doing something to help ourselves strengthen and heal.
I also got to be the encouragement fairy a little bit for one of the on-skates girls, and the more I talk with everyone on the FM squad, the more I hear that my fellow skaters feel that we're not getting the support we need. One of the new coaches has actually become my new favorite, just because he has such a supportive and uplifting attitude when he leads practice. A lot of the other coaches seem to think that we'll respond to the tough love approach, and that doesn't seem to be working for a lot of us. I think the only reason it hasn't beaten me down completely is because the Jillian Michaels DVDs and podcasts I've come to love at least somewhat prepared me for it, heh.
Anyhoo, I have a hot date with shrimp curry and Hulu, so I'm off.
