Nikon D3000 SLR Camera that I got over Black Friday.







Anyone know who this guy is?

2. My dear charlie and algernon...

OK, OK...

Now you've gone and done it...

I WAS happy with my D50...*sigh*


These are great, and I know you're having a ball! I have to say, though, that the angel looks entirely too happy as s/he overlooks whoever's grave that is! Aren't they supposed to be grieving?

Go play in the Photo forum sometime...unless you already have!

It's a cool forum...

Thanks for sharing, and have a blast!

:hug:

3. haha, you're welcome

I love this camera, I've been playing with it all weekend, lol. I'm planning on going to Antietam National Battlefield this coming saturday to take photos of the 23,000 candles they light along the battlefield.

Haha, the angel is just a statue my parents have in their backyard, no gravesite, lol. The Virgin Mary is also in their backyard.

I've heard good things about the D50, I'm sure it's a great camera too. I mainly choose the D3000 because of the great sale on it, it's more than made up for the cost, lol.

9. Disregard, I thought that was an original photo - oops. n/t

[charlie and algernon]

10. it was way too small to be a red-tail, and the Kestrel doesn't have the tail stripes

I think it might be a Peregrine Falcon

[BrklynLiberal]

11. Peregrine looks pretty likely

[qnr]

12. heheh disregard my earlier post, I thought the photo posted was one of yours, but it was

an example photo.

13. Beutiful pics charlie and algernon

very sharp and the color is fantastic. Thanks for posting!

[charlie and algernon]

15. I'm glad you like them

They should get even better once I actually know what I'm doing and get out from the camera's auto-functions, lol, and can play with the settings more.
