I was trying out my new macro flash the other day. No tripod and a bit of a breeze, but I'm happy with these.
"Dusty"
Poor guy has a dented eye!

He looks rather large... How big would you say he was? There is one that lurks around my spyrea bush that's about 3 inches and green but this one in your photos looks larger.

I have had many Nikons. D70, D200, D300, D700, and D4. Presently I have the 300, 700 and 4. In my opinion, your best bet would be to look for a used with warranty or refurbished D700. That is where you will see the most dramatic improvement in build and performance. You should be able to get one for less than $1500, and that would allow you to purchase an extended warranty. Check the usual places, B&H, Adorama, etc.

There are many great suggestions here. However, no one has mentioned basic camera care. You got him two lenses, explain the importance of being indoors away from dust if at all possible when changing them. Keeping the camera and lenses clean. I guess just general equipment respect which may be foreign to a 13 y.o.
Other than that just have him experiment and find his own style. Things can look alot different on a print or monitor than they do in the viewfinder.

There's a walking tour that starts at Faneuil Hall in Boston. (very accessible by public transportation from revere). It ranges from 2 to 5.7 miles I think and you will be able to see alot of this country's historical sites along the way. If you don't want to walk, you won't want to miss Faneuil Hall/Quincy Market especially on a sunny weekend day.

Was this in Florida or New Hampshire? I see that you spend time in both places. Capturing an eagle such as this has long been on my bucket list and if it were in NH I would certainly hop in the car over the weekend and go "hunting". Great shot.

To anyone that complimented the photos, thank you. And to those that thanked me for posting them or for responding to questions, you're welcome.

You mean it's no longer at the Charlestown Navy Yard? Where is it being moved to?
It has been years and years since I've been back there, I grew up in Weymouth and remember touring Old Ironsides when I was seventeen.

No, it's still at Charlestown Navy Yard. They just towed it out to Deer Island so it could sail on its own power to commemorate the War of 1812. It sailed for 10 minutes, a total of about 1000 yards I guess, and then they towed it back to Charlestown.

In the first two shots, the USS Constitution is being towed to the spot where she would sail under her own power. The last shot, with some of the sails unfurled, she's on her own. It was a very overcast, hazy day, but worth the wait.
On the way.
Broadside.
On her own.

Love them both. I would, however, be curious to see how they would look with a shallower depth of field. Great shots.

That's too funny. My wife did the same thing (sent a text message photo) when my D4 arrived two Saturdays ago. Happy Birthday and ENJOY! Oh yeah, welcome to the world of Nikon!!

Well, Kaye, be sure to post your Nikon gear in the classified section. I'm sure there'll be some takers so you can recoup at least part of your investment.

Mini is a transmitter only, Flex is a transceiver. In other words, the flex can both send and receive signals. The size of the mini makes it a little less obtrusive on the hot shoe of your camera, but really, the flex is more versatile and you don't need minis at all.

or, you could buy a couple pocket wizards and sync very fast. A flex and a mini would run you roughly $400. But, like most others are saying, chances are that a little more experience and education/experimentation will help you decide what you need/want to do.

Talk to your local post office about every door direct mail (eddm). You don't need a special permit and you can send oversized postcards to up to 5000 targeted addresses for only 14 cents apiece. The local business center can guide you through the process, or you can create and produce the piece online.
