got a new camera for christmas, 'tis mainly a video camera with x2000 opitical+digital zoom, touch screen display, manual lens cover, and i was just messing round taking pictures of my new wheel's seat and headset, no to mention the red spacer, you can only see from at an angle level to or below it..

Just before the fireworks started last night, its two shots with different exposures merged.
Its my first attempt at night scenery so if anyone har any pointers please share.

Very impressive. The green feathers look almost fluorescent. (I think thats the word to describe it)

They're pretty cool - in the summer we have amazingly bright red guys, but they don't stick around in the winter.

Managed to snap this one of the sunset last night.

Hey Guys

Nice photos, are most of these taking with a SLR cameras, reason being im looking at getting a SLR camera and i have never used one before. So just after some pointers on what makes them different from a normal digital camera and are they hard to figure out how to use. My current camera is just point and shoot but from what i understand a SLR camera is all manually focused and what not to get the best picture. Any brands to look for in particular.

The cost mostly
I use mine on point and shoot 90% of the time. Where its like any basic digi cam.
Mostly its higher pixel rating, your control over the functions and being able to change lenses.

Some from me from Christmas

Was on the front porch today and looked up at the sky and liked the perspective i had, So took these photos.
