So the past couple of days, I find myself taking it out more often than I used to and playing with it. Since I feel as though I am still learning how to properly handle and use it, I don’t like to mess around with it unless I am alone. I’d just get too embarassed if someone walked in on me while I was fooling around with it for no good reason.

It’s bigger than most people’s, that’s for sure. I’ve seen some of my friends’ and mine is a lot larger than theirs. Sometimes it protrudes so far out there that it’s very difficult to hold it steady and get it to do what I want. Things end up really messy and I find it’s often just plain hard to focus when I twist it out as far as it will go.

I’ve felt that the hardest part of it all is getting it to do it’s thing when I’m in a dark room. It sounds odd, I know, but it’s so much easier to control and manipulate when there’s plenty of light. Things just go a lot more smoothly this way.

I love holding it in my hands, though. Boy, does that feel good! It’s so hard, yet pleasantly round and agile. It’s a real beauty and, when it works, it works great. I could wrap my fingers around it all day. It’s a shame I can’t do this to it whenever I want. Heck, even the ladies thinks it’s sexy looking. (Sometimes, if she’s really good, I’ll let her hold it, stroke it, and occasionally use it.)

But, still, I’ve got a big problem with 300mm shots. I can’t seem to get one in focus, so I think I’ll end up buying a tripod. That’s what the guy at the camera shop recommended, anyway. What, did you think I was talking about something else?
