My 1st digital camera was a Powershot 350. I bought it on 1998 and not happy with the performance due to poor quality and consume a lot of batteries power. Sold it this year (2004) away for $30.

Next was Canon Pro90 which bought it on Sept 2001. I love its color, sharpness and quality. Too bad, canon did not improve this camera. I sold it away on beginning of 2003. Below are some of my Pro 90 shots taken

When I find I have more confidence in photography, I go into SLR, EOS 30 and took some slides of insects. WOW, the slides quality is stunning esp. look thru the loupe. It looks so real and 3D effect. However, scan into digital format and realise the quality is not really impressive due to the poor scanning. So I considered to go into DSLR, D60. I got it on July 2002. The quality is really good. For 6 megapixel, I can print up to A3 photo quality. Mastering D60 is not easy as there are so many features. Through 2 years of shooting, my skill has improved and shots are getting better. Below are some of my D60 shots taken

2 days ago, I sold my D60 away and bought a 20D. I hope I can continue to capture good shots and share with everyone. Thank you for reading ...

Those dragonflys getting acquainted... Are they having sex?
The pic of the macaque is amazing!
