I haven't posted because I really haven't shot much with the *ist D yet. I tend to shoot the most while I'm hiking or travelling and I haven't done either since purchasing it. Everything else that I've shot in the last 3 years has been on a Sony camera, so I didn't think that this would be appropriate for PAW. Here is a picture from a Sony that I like: http://phred.org/~alex/pictures/pdx-japanese-garden/reduced/DSC00491.JPG I like this one, but wish I could go back and recompose it. I like the boat in the water, but find the bush to the right a little distracting. http://phred.org/~alex/pictures/east-coast/reduced/DSC01233.JPG A few decent *ist D shots: http://phred.org/~alex/pictures/hiking/snow-lake-10-5-03/ I wish I had a longer lens with me for IMGP1391.JPG I'm not crazy about the framing on IMGP1405.JPG, but it is the best of the group. Shel, I admire your street photography. I really like good street photography, but I'm pretty lousy at it myself. I feel very self concious when taking photographs of others and that makes it difficult to concentrate on taking good photographs. alex
