I have seen some great photos. What do you use. I am especially interested in digital SLR's.

I purchased a Nikon D40 a few weeks ago off fleabay.

Here's a pic of 80 Mile Beach. No tripod, no filters and I used the auto setting - basically point, zoom & shoot. I'm pretty happy with it so far.

Hi Kev,

Bought the boss a Sony Alpha100 about a year ago with std & telephoto lenses. 10 Megapixel. good unit. Sony bought the lens technology of Minolta a few years back so it takes a pretty good shot. Even I manage to take a reasonable shot. (My wife is definately the photographer in the family).

A couple I took in Canada last year:

[The extension jpg has been deactivated and can no longer be displayed.]

These are reduced to 25% to get them small enough for this thread - usually they come in around 3.5 megabytes each.

We find that the SLR is a bit of a double edged sword - takes a great photo but bulkey to lug around.

Hope this helps.
