Part of last night's dessert! A bit small but the best Smooth Cayenne ever, and it was a 4th ratoon!

Oh, so that's what you were eating...in your shorts...while I was out shoveling 7 inches snow in a blizzard?
(going out again to do more shoveling while dreaming of a good pineapple drink)

I could use a tri or mono pod but almost never do. You can see some digital noise in both shots as both were taken in low light situations and required a very high ISO, and both shots were cropped which also adds more noise. My other lens is a Nikon 18-105mm 3.5-5.6 VR that came with the camera. It a nice general purpose lens, but again not very fast so I'll be looking to upgrade my glass at some point.

This is my Nikon D90 and lenses. This picture was taken with a 12 mega pixel Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS25 pocket camera which incorporates a Leica lens. I love this little camera! It has a nice zoom too.
This one is your favorite??

You recommendation for an SLR?

The last time I shopped for a real camera was in 1976 (Panama City, Panama') when I purchased a Canon AE1 to replace the Canon Pellix that my step father had purchase in Vietnam

My brother bought a Canon F1 the same year.

The Nikon D90 is my only DSLR so in that respect it is my favorite. I have a few 35mm SLR cameras but have never owned a Cannon film or digital.

Do you need advise on a camera purchase? I can point you to some great camera sites where you might find the answer, would that help?

It is indeed - a Sparkling Violetear, which are quite common in Quito. The thin air up here means that they spend a great deal of time resting, which is the best time to try and photograph them, since they're extremely fast little dudes.

That's a cool shot Beth. You could run it through neat image if you have it. It would really help your other shot taken at dusk too.

Neat Image - best noise reduction for digital cameras and scanners

Yeah, that was taken with digital telephoto, and it adds a lot of grain to images that would otherwise be tack-sharp.

I so need a new camera and a load of new glass. Le sigh.

Thanks for the link - I'll check it out and if they have a Mac version, I'll likely get it.

They do have two versions for OSX (pro and home). I don't have it yet but I will after we get our new mac mini. I have a friend who has shown me examples of what it's capable of doing and let me tell you it's pretty amazing! Can't wait to try it.
