RE: The unexpected death of a five year old

First off, that headline was very worrisome. My first thoughts was toward smallsteps, glad it was not a post about that after all she had been running a fever and sick for a week or more.
I have become very attached to my camera even though I am still very new to the hobby scene of picture taking. I have only had mine for 2 and a half years or so, Christmas will be three years. It would suck to have to go back to just my smart phone. At least you will only need to get a new body, I wish life sometimes was as simple as replacing my own body with a newer model. Perhaps in the future that will be an option, a new housing for my brain.
I don't even rank up in the hobby part of photography yet, just a back yard shooter, but learning all the time about framing, and lighting, and all the other parts of photography that include a lot more than just pushing the click button. Fortunately there are programs that can really bring pictures to life, if I took the time to fully understand them.
have fun shopping.
I would never write about something like that in this way.
The body is a little bit out there in price, but I have been happy with it for 5+ years so I may as well see if I can get another 5 out of a new one. It would be nice to be able to get a new body -perhaps rent? Might make a good (weird) movie.
The backyard is a universe and you have captured some really great pics lately. Have you noticed the improvement in yourself over the last few years?
Oh yes, I can see a lot better framing, even though I crop a lot, and using the image software is slowly improving, and I am learning more with the manual settings, and lens selection. I have four to use a macro, a landscape, a zoom, and a 35mm portrait one. Picking the right lens is getting easier, and making adjustments for what lens is on the camera is becoming more second nature now.
I think this is not a bad thing. I used to shoot the frame from the camera without thinking about cropping and missed many shots by a little bit. Bird wing tips or hair blowing in the wind etc.
Try using the macro (is it prime) for portraits too, it can be pretty good.
I was rather surprised with a few, (I forgot what lens was on shots), with the macro, I had a couple of landscape shots and while there was a tiny bit of fish-eye action they were not to bad of shots. I do use my zoom lens as a macro lens some times, but I need to be at least six feet, (2 meters) or so away from the subject.
