Bought a new toy today and thought I would share two of the results (I have a lot of learning to do

)

Huraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

I've been nibbling down all my nails on my left hand waiting for pics from you with your new toy

Welcome to the world of DSLR - the pics look great!!!!!!!!!!!

You should be really chuffed - really reallllly good!

Those are excellent shots.

May I ask which DSLR you got?

There sure is a lot to learn with them.

Well, those are lovely!

The camera is amazing...the operator is far from

I even managed to get a picture of a finger print on the glass...

Can't wait for the macro lens to arrive tomorrow afternoon...of course I'm last on the delivery round for the courier....what was that about patience and virtue

Oh, that shimmery blur in the 2nd photo is a diamond tetra who just couldn't stay out of frame...the camera: Canon 450D, Rebel something or other on the N America market.

May I also mention that even with a good camera (and crap operator) it takes about 100 shots to get one or two good ones.

200 shots for a few good ones is the norm,so I thought!
Great pics and stunning fish!

Very nice!

For a first try with a new camera those are very impressive pics,
especially the detail you got in the first one, great job bud!!
I can't wait to see the results with a macro lense.

Thanks everyone...perhaps I have a hidden talent LOL Being used to point and shoot, I won't tell you how long it took to figure out that there is no button to zoom -- I thought there was something wrong with the camera

I don't think I will sleep tonight knowing the macro is on it's way.
