hmm i g2 think about that tamron. i used one before and it seems pretty good. my only issue would be that its not wide enough esp on my crop body. plus it doesnt help that im poor. DANG IT! ill let you know if i wanna buy.

Please share the information with anyone who might beinterested or

hey norris, what was that link you posted before about unlocking the iphone?
also, do you have any idea wheter or not it would be possible to use an US unlocked iphone in japan?
the carrier im currently using is SoftBank, and they use SIM cards..
and how much is the iphone currently going for in US? japan is coming out with the iphone for softbank, but if its like everything else in japan... it mite be double/triple of what it cost in the US

I don't have it either =[And of course I'm bringing chicks.

Last night I was going over the pictures I've taken with my XTi. I got the XTi last December and started shooting in JPEG at first. I eventually switched to shooting RAW and became happier with the image quality of my pictures.

I recently picked up the EF 28-135mm IS USM lens and became even more happy because I didn't have to only rely on my kits lens anymore. This lens captures pretty sharp images and the IS is really great...I have less blurry shots now.

Then I picked up a EF-S 17-55mm IS USM lens and became even happier. This lens really captures sharp images with nicer color and contrast. And of course the IS is making blurry shots less of a problem for me now.

So I'm looking over my pictures and I notice that some pictures I was happy with before I now notice flaws that I didn't see earlier and I'm not as happy with them now. The pictures I've been taking recently have a totally different look and "feel" to them, not just because of the better lenses but because I'm using the camera differently (not like a point-n-shoot)...I'm not just pointing and shooting, I'm thinking about the shots a bit too.

And guess what? I think I'm actually improving!

I think it's been a combination of learning the controls of my XTi, playing around and trying different things, reading a few photography books, reading lots of threads here at POTN and looking at a lot of posted images (both here and at Flickr). Granted, my pictures aren't award winners or anything, but I do know they're better than before and that makes me very happy right now.

But a big part of my improvement comes from spending time in this thread and seeing the many great pictures taken by the members of the Honolulu POTN Hale. And it was from all the encouragement I got when I was kind of down and lost interest in photography a short while ago. Your kind words kept me from totally losing interest in this hobby and made me want to pick up my camera again.

Of course, new lenses didn't hurt either.

So thank you members of the Honolulu POTN Hale...thank you for being there, thank you for your kind words of encouragement...and thank you for posting such beautiful images that made me want to keep shooting (in hopes that my shots will one day be as nice as yours).

So thanks to everyone in the Honolulu POTN Hale...you're a great bunch of people!

Oh, have fun at this Sunday's meet...I have too much yard work to catch up on (neglected because I was using my XTi instead of my weeder and pruner these past few months).

You seem to mention that a lot...makes me wonder what you're really like in person.
