That tiger shot was tried with little success many times in the days when photographers had F's and only a 50. Ever wonder why there are so many of those 50's on the used market? Hmmm?

How did you get the dandelions? Did you use a black backboard or were you simply able to get that background by good fortune? I like that shot and the grass.

Pavel, I brought the dandelions in to my studio. 53" Black paper was used as the backdrop. Grass I shot from the car...It just stuck in my eye on a back country dirt road...so I backed up to compose and shot from the car. I was out hunting for bald eagles, and osprey.

Man, what a shot.

Did Nikon shot itself on the foot with such a good entry level camera? Why would anyone need anything more expensive. I am talking not just image quality but also usability. Once one gets used to the "i" button, changing camera settings become so easy. I

do you guys mind if i abuse this thread to promote the nikon D40? it really is an amazing camera! check this one. shot whit a D40 throug glass @ iso1600 1/125 195mm. Not an spectaculair shot maybe but given the circumstancens not bad at all and a display of the great capabilities of this entry level dslr.

What a nice shot with the D40x, they're so cute, I want one (of the cats, but a D40x will do just fine also ) Johns tiger shoot scares me!

Ted, great cycling shots as always.

Well, there you go. I knew that, just testing.

I've been using the D40x a lot lately, so its been on my mind. Oops.
