They're both really nice, Eddie!!!

What kind of camera did you use, if I may ask?

 

[EddieWalker]

I have a Canon SX30 point and shoot. I've had a couple SLR cameras, and tried a dozen very expensive SLR camers that don't compare to this camera. While I realize that a pro will get better pics with an SLR, I don't think any amature or hoby photographer like myself can get a better picture with a SLR.

I don't have to carry any extra lenses, my rechargable batteries last a VERY long time, and it takes very good pics. The 35 power optica zoom is AMAZING!!!!

Enjoyed those pics, thanks for posting them. My son has a Canon DSLR and my Panasonic Lumix FZ-18 (18x optical zoom) takes pictures that to me are every bit as good. That is, until you get in low light then the SLR's low light film settings set it apart. His camera also can get quick pics that I miss. These super zooms are great cameras when you have plenty of light to work with.

Great pictures.... as others have said, you have a great eye and creative mind. Your creativity is also evident in the things you build. I am always amazed at the little details you add to your projects that really make them stand out as interesting and unique.

Congratulations Eddie, I used to do a lot of photography with 35mm SLRs, but never wanted to graduate to DSLRs...

Many people think you have to have a pro quality, expensive camera to take great pictures but just remember the old saying:

"It's not your equipment that's important, it's how you use it that matters".

Hopefully that comment will squeak past the moderators here....:laughing:
