This evening the car battery died because I left the light and heater on pretty much all day. It was 3˚C this morning, and there was a thin layer of ice covering almost everything. Anyway I got a jump start, but was afraid to turn the car off until I was sure the battery regained some 'juice'. So I picked up Stef and we went out to the country.

The Alternative 70 - 200mm lineup for Nikon
I have been doing a lot of reading on alternative 70-200mm lenses for my Nikon D300. I came across this Sigma 70-200mm F2.8 EX DG Macro HSM II, released January 2008. I read the indepth review on www.dpreview.com. It got good ratings, average 8.3 out of 10 on a Nikon camera, versus 8.5 for the upscale Nikon AF-S VR 70-200mm F2.8G.
