went for a walk in the trees.

Went for a wee walk behind my house. There is a fairly large area of unused land. Took a few shots - thought I would share

Impressive shots ... what kind of camera do you have?

 

[enfield]

It's a Canon 30D - however, the lens is what makes these shots. I used a 24-70mm f/2.8L USM from Canon. I plan to take a lot of shots this year!! If it is okay then I will continue to post some here every now and then

I've been thinking about stepping up to a digital SLR - recommendations would be appreciated.

Very nice. You could give me the best camera in the world and i'd still give you snapshots... And I was a portrait photographer for a year...

 

[Rick Hunter]

Very cool, mate.

 

[WLH]

My suggestion would be not to compromise on lenses. The lens is the MOST important part of an SLR camera. Good lenses will cost $1500+. You want to get a lens with an aperture that can go to 2.8 - the aperture is like the pupil in the eye. It lets in light. Small numbers let in MORE light. I would suggest getting 2 lenses if you go Canon. One is the 24-70mm f/2.8L USM and the other is a 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM. These 2 lenses will set you back by around US$3000 or so. The Camera body for an entry level SLR will be around US$1000. You can get professional level bodies for MUCH more. If you are not a professional then get an entry level body with expensive lenses.... Hope that helps.

Beautiful pics. You should give up your day job and become a National Geographic photographer.

I know I am going to break the forum rules here, but I am going to go back to the initial topic here - :roll:

Nice shots enfield and I am highly covetous of your lens. I shoot with a 20D but don't have any glass at that level yet. This is something that is definitely on my wish list.....

 

[ovrkll]

I want to get some good lenses for mine one of these days, but I always find something else to buy instead :slaphead:

 

[AlanL]

Umm - yeah me too. Last big ticket item to postpone the lens was my Zed so I can't really complain all that much :yeah:
