No...this is NOT spam.  I'm a regular here, and just like people often
express their good/bad experiences with B&H and other establishments...this
place deserves mention.
This is just a heads-up to alert anyone considering mid-to-higher end

Someone on a forum I post to has recently claimed to be the person in
this picture. But this poster is under high suspicion, because several
of the regulars of the group believe the pic has been Photoshopped.
Please assess this picture and tell us what you think of its validity.

What equipment should I consider for scanning 35mm color
negatives at high resolution?  How is the resolution
specified?
Thanks for your help.

Just to show you that you don't need something as sophisticated as the 20D
to shoot birds, I've decided to post my bird photo:

This bird was not match for the Sony's lightning fast AF.

I'm thinking of buying a telephoto lens for an F6 - my main interest is
wildlife. I currently have for the camera
1) 50mm f/1.4 AF-S (new lens, bought with body)
2) 60-300mm old manual focus Tamron, which I will soon get rid of.

Hello.  I just ordered the 300d body and was wondering what everyone
recommends for a basic lense with it?  I currently have a 70-300
Sigma.
My shots will be some posed models, sports, and nature.

OK panofans, here is a tough one.  There was very little contrast on this hazy
morning and I committed the panoramic stitcher's #1 sin when I shot all these
pics with the circular polarizer attached.  So let's just say that there was a
fair amount of post-processing involved in this ...

Here is a stitched panoramic I made combining 13 exposures with the 20D.
The original was approx. 12,600 X 3400 pixels in size.

Brett,
Love the panos. Yes, really. But you're working way too hard. Try this--one
shot, one scan, minimal Photoshop time:

Another one from the Alabama Hills (USA, California, near Lone Pine):

A small reptile was kind enough to pose for me, as well.
XPan, 30mm, Velvia. No stitching involved.  ;-)

The run-up to your wedding is one of the most exciting times in your
life! There's your dress to choose, booking your venue, drawing up
your guest list and hundreds of other details to make it a very
special day. It's definitely brilliant fun - a once in a lifetime

I get this camera for $12 in India. What uses can I put it to (apart
from clicking photos)?
Possible uses:

Anyone have experience with the 80-400 AF VR lens?
I have a D100
Thanks

Not what you expected, but I just shot this guy in the front yard of the Annika
Estate.
