It's actually pretty embarrassing to look at the shots I made with the first DSLR I had - the Nikon D70 which wasn't actually mine but belonged to the newspaper I am working in (as I was back then, in late '05 - early '06). However, among the sea of junk - that has thankfully been largely destroyed by me later when tidying up the archive - there are a few decently sharp pictures. Some even tell a story (or are trying to). http://cs307413.userapi.com/v307413358/37ab/T5ECiM-SWuw.jpg

Dunno, but the big deal - why the paper was interested in that case at all - was that the owner is a famous actor so he could probably afford the repairs (thankfully that time no one got killed; the water isn't that deep anyways).

Sometimes in spring stuff goes under the ice. There have been a few fatalities locally over the years. Emercom is doing lots of patrolling but people are reckless.
And JMan13 - the photos are awesome! Proves pretty well that it's not the camera that counts... I couldn't even contemplate getting something like your photo #5, regardless of how well I'm stocked up on lenses.
First Digital Rebel, 300D. Taken in December of 2004 at an NY Air National Guard disaster drill, and was published in an ANG magazine the following month. My first published digital image.

Thanks! I appreciate it. Interestingly enough (I didn't realize it when I picked the ones to show), every one of these was actually taken with the Sigma 18-125mm DC (first version). Cheap-o lens.
I've got some later stuff with my DRebel from when I got my 80-200L and Tokina 12-24 and such, but I thought I'd start with these. Maybe I'll post some more tonight.
Great idea! And some great images as we stroll through everyone's memory lane.
Here are my firsts with my first digital SLR. Bought the D60 in July 2002, and never looked back. This is the first time I've done any LR editing on these, including lens profile on a few interiors shots.
I wish I still had my images saved when I purchased my first DSLR - Nikon D70. The files (which are on CD no less) are probably still at my parents house. I'll see if I can scrap up some images from my first Canon DSLR - 20D.
Ten years ago I picked up a Canon 10D. Got a 70-200/4 and a 100/2.8 macro along with it. Not only my first DSLR but my first digital camera in general. I had not done any photography for a long time and wanted something to get me out of the house and moving again. It worked and was one of the best things I ever bought.
Opps..edited because mine was not a dslr, it was my digital camera given to me by my company to take photo's on the job for reports. Took it home and played around with it, but not a dslr, sorry
A macro shot from my D30 (not 30D!) the very first "affordable DSLR" at slightly over 3000$. Only 3MP and the lens gave a "Zeissy" look don't you think so? Room enough to even crop the photo to a square composition. Anyway, it was my first meeting with digital SLR's and even though I started to hate the D30 for the terrible AF after a while I never lost the EOSfun

And in the good old days we had Pondria, our king of frog photos. I know he is still here every now and then. But where are thou now Pondria? Are you still having EOSfun Of course, the frog is also D30.

And believe it or not, but the 3Mp D30 was good for landscapes too. This one was published for more that 2 years at a Dutch exhibition printed 1,50m x 1,00m. Of course the image was linear converted and the print was made with the help of Fred's software the linear RAW converter and Stair Interpolation tool Thanks again Fred for the great software and knowledge you provided to this community. I think today it's only a few people who still remember and take this great plaform for granted as a result ot the wonderful community you built here with the help of so many others. But I am sure those early days and your great start with digital photography and image processing were of great importance for what this community has grown to
