^^Ahhh, that is SO COOL!
I'm an amateur photographer, but my camera died recently. Need a new one. Ew.

I lack eloquence and commitment to my arguments. They are half baked, and I will begin passionately, and then abandon them.
Claes, this is wild! Last night, I posted a Blog entry about an igloo that has a lot of detail in it, almost like the pictures that you have posted above! Freaky!
The main difference would obviously be that my igloo pictures posted are from the internet (unknown source), and yours are from your very own camera.
Those are awesome photos, as always, Claes -- the top tree photo really stood out as my favorite.
Becca, your photos are sweet! The fall foliage one is awesome, and those kitties are tooooooo sweet!
I have a roll of unfinished business in my old camera-from-bygone-times (but serves me well, ha ha!) ... I want to get it developed soon, cuz I think (just maybe) there could be a couple of decent shots in there!... [she said hopefully...]

bohoo, I hate our crappy digital camera
I gave my 'real' camera to my English friend to take photos with while she was living in Germany and she took it to England and has kept it for 2 years. I don't think I'll ever see it again

Time to buy a new camera or have your friend give it back
What Are You Crazy!!!
Oh Sleepy, that is awful -- I am so attached to my little camera that I'd die if that happened. Hope you get it back, I really do!bohoo, I hate our crappy digital camera

Becca, what kind of camera are you thinking of getting? Just asking 'cause I'm looking into getting a new one...as soon as I manage to get the money for itand I'm trying to figure out what people think is best.
Your pics are really good, but I love the first one in black and white!

Claes, that hotel is fabulous. Do people actually sleep there? I just can't imagine there could be enough blankets in the world that would keep me from shivering in a bed of ice.I love the frosty tree!
I haven't been able to play with my new camera very much because the weather has been incredibly uncooperative, nothing but blizzard warnings and windchill and winter weather advisories and there is nothing of any interest in my house to take pictures of but I did manage to get outside and take this picture of one of the ornamental firs in the front yard. It's exciting to me for a couple reasons, the zoom is wonderful and it was really overcast that day and it was later in the afternoon but yet the color is not blue!
Becca, the colors in your pictures are so vibrant and realistic, very professional looking.

feet lovely and still as sleeping doves,
porcelain bones strong enough to carry a life,
but weighty and unmovable

Claes, what wonderful pictures. It looks erie in there, and very cold.
Becca, how pretty. You've definitely have a photographer's eye.
Idril, another nice one. I like the colors in that one.

vheissu- I'm looking to get a Nikon, either D40x or D80 model. Canons are good as well, just not my personal preference. =]

Idril, those colours are crisp and clean, beautiful shot. I can't wait for more of your stuff!

Hi Becca, I've also been considering getting a digital SLR, and am debating between a Nikon and a Canon. I asked Claes about it and he preferred Canon; I've always had a Nikon in the old film type. I see you are looking at a Nikon for a digital. I'll ask you the same thing I asked Claes. Why that choice? I'm leaning to a Nikon myself, but just out of what I know, not because of anything tangible.

I've used a Nikon D50 for quite some time (not mine, but I manged to borrow it for a month or so). Now, Nikon is meant to be very good...but I actually didn't like the way the camera felt in my hands...I just felt clumsy with it.
I have a few friends who have top SLRs made by Canon, and they (of course) think its the absolute best.
On the other hand, I have a manual Olympus which I've grown quite attached to, but I can't seem to find anyone with a digital olympus SLR.
I guess, for the time being I would go with a Canon...of course they are the most expensive ones (so it will be a few months till I actually get one).
Then again, a lot of people who are seriously into photography will hardly ever change brand if they ever get a new model....
Oh, this is complicated and I'm supposed to be writing a 4000 word essay, not think of my dream SLR!
Any of you have a dSLR? I'd like to know what you think of it!

I know, this is so true. It's very hard for me to change from Nikon. In film photography, Nikon had the better reputation and I was always proud of it. In digital I hear it's Canon. Perhaps I'll wait a little longer and hope that Nikon will come up with a knock out new model.

If you are crap photographer then no Nikon will improve your photography ;-)
