What a hairy back this fellow has...or is it a lady I wonder? Great shots Jim...

Thanks Joan,, howya been ? Taking any shots here lately? Post up

I have some great stuff Jim, but unfortunately not all macro so not suitable for this forum. I had a disasterous day yesterday and might post the pics from that as it is quite funny.

??? Hope all is well

Excellent thanks Jim...I spend my three day weekend trying to get some good pics...the more I see these on the forum the more convinced I am I must get a 400D.

a digital DSLR would be a step up for you Joan

Yeah I know...but at my age, do I really want to go to the expense for something just to take fun pics with? I am not doing much wildlife stuff anymore.

well,, thats your call Joan,, I dont think your age has anything to do with it,, you certainly seem to be enjoying yourself with taking pictures, and your active with the photo clubs that your in,, I think a nice tool like a DSLR would be a nice gift to yourself that I'm sure you would very much enjoy,,,, I dont know about you,, but I like to treat myself every now and then,, I work hard and deserve nice toys and I'm sure you do too,, just my 2 cents worth

Thanks Jim....I just remembered we had a club meeting last night (Monday) which I forgot with it being a holiday!!! In a way I have to agree with all you have said Jim, but cameras are extremely expensive here. If they were $800 okay, but they are a LOT more than that.

sorry to butt in but what are you using for a camera. and this goes to you to Joan.

Bill

how about ordering online? I'm not trying to persuade you , but there are options,, you dont have to pay ALOT of money for a good DSLR,, I think I got my 400D for less than that with a kit lens,,

Jim:
With our exchange rate...it does not mahe a lot of difference, but If I decide to get one, I will order it on line Jim. Thanks for the link.

At the moment I am using a small Powershot with 8 megapixels so it is not very good for really close up work. I was using normal SLR's up to two months ago when I got this one.

from what i seen of your posting that little camera is doing pretty good. just got in digital since i join up here. was using an A2E for a long time before i got my 30D.

I have been quite happy with the little camera Bill, but I do get a bit frustrated at times when I want to take something and cannot get the pic I know I can with better lenses.
