Great pictures. You really captured them in action. I can't help thinking of my childhood days when people didn't kill dandelion's and they were in abundance. Do kids still rub the flower on the underside of the chin to see it the yellow comes off and if it does it means your going to be kissed or some such thing. Anyone remember that? Maybe I'm telling my age here.:rolleyes:
| LOL. I don't remember that. Maybe that's why I didn't get kissed until junior year of high school! Quote:

Thanks in advance.......
| I have the original Canon Digital Rebel, 6.3 megapixels. It's since been upgraded a couple times, and there's a 10 megapixel version at Costco for $799. The 70-300mm telephoto that I use almost exclusively for Yorkie pix cost another couple hundred dollars.
I usually try to discourage people from the Rebel unless they consider themselves to be a serious amateur or better. First of all, it's been and clunky, not something you can slip in a purse. And has a lot of cool features that are wasted if you don't understand how aperature and shutter speed work together, etc.
I haven't kept up with the best cameras for people who aren't seriously into photography. Things I'd look for, though, are a megapixel rating of 5 or better, an optical zoom of 6 or better and a viewfinder other than the LCD screen. |
