Thanks, do you watch birds? I recently picked up a North American Field Guide for birds (Eastern Region) . So that I could know what birds I was taking pictures of. My girlfriend makes fun of me because of this

I know you know I was j/k.

Doing something just to be cool, is uncool!

You have to remember some of my hobbies like gardening and making salsa. Pretty dorky.

Yeah, and one of my hobbies involves reading slashdot, and posting on Fark. I also enjoy discussing the philosophy of collected works of Joss Whedon. I'm never going to be in any position to cast stones at geeks.

I don't watch brids as a hobby per se. I DID spend a lot of time around birders when I lived on Vancouver Island, because they new where all the best spots were for taking pictures. I picked up a few things I guess. Although, I always saw the most starlings at the landfill.

Took a couple more today. I figured I would just stick them in this thread since I've started like a million of these threads and interest seems to be minimal

Northern Cardinal - Cardinalis cardinalis

I would reccomend eitehr B&H Photo for Beach Camera for buying new camera stuff. Both of them have good prices and their service is awesome.

The old truck photo and the bourbon photos are my favourites, Xan. Great use of depth of field in the whisky photo. What kind of lenses do you have?

Thanks Crash, I shot the whisky with my cheapo 55-200mm Nikor. Its a decent lense, the auto focus is a little slow but its been good to learn on so far.

I'd like to pick up the 18-55mm Nikor sometime in the future.

This is a shot I took last year with the stock lens that came with my Digital Rebel:

It's not great in that it's not particularly close to the subject but I was still pleased that I managed to get a couple of hummers.

I'm always pleased to get hummers. Max, Xanthan might visit here this summer. If that happens, you'll have to come down for an evening

I'm probably reading that all wrong but are you saying that Xan gives good head? Keep me posted, as you said before, we should meet one of these fine days (unless you insist on drinking that sissy light beer like a lot of my other friends do!)

Yeah, I like the bourbon shot too. Man, I've got 4 rolls to develope. . . sigh. . .


Think I'll go down to L&S and get a couple of 25A filters and shoot some black and white.
