Just had a rainy spell, good light for up close photography. So many bees in our back yard, makes for good pictures. Though I think you guys might be sick of bees so this is the last two I promise. Not much else in our garden though. :(

I think I love bumble bees, though. The lens of my camera must have been not 2 inches from that top fella' and he completely ignored me. Unfortunately they never keep still long enough to get the exposure right.
On the plus side, more photoshop experience for me.

Can you set up any presets on your camera, why not make up a preset  with AEB so you shoot 3 photos at once with 3 diff exposures. Do it at a nice speed like 800+ and then try some diff brackets for shooting, 0 +0.5 & +1.

Just a thought, would cover your bases with photography like that, if camera is fast enough it's under 1 second of photos for all of em.

There's something weird and fake about naming photographs.

I concur, naming a group of photographs is ok in a subjective way, but each individual seems a little OTT for me.

Rii I want you!

I did also think the douche thing was a bit OTT, but then putting your name on photos is a bit douche-baggery, so I did not say a word.

I love dragster bikes, used to have a couple but left them down at the family beach house for a few summers and they rusted away.

The fact is 99% of humanity is made of very good people, but that only 1% is enough to spoil it, causing so much violence that we all pay the price having to defend ourselves. Going to war is one of the most noble things there are but it doesn\'t mean war is good neither stupid.

Figure out what sort of photography you mainly want to do and then research the cameras, all of them excel at differnt things.

I was all set to blow money on a D90 then after alot more research found out a lesser value camera did a much better job at what i wanted to focus on.

there are ALOT of good cameras out there not made by canon and nikon that are just as good, if not better.
