I clicked on that first pic right away knowing that it was lush rosemary blooming, oh how I love rosemary in bloom. Your is gorgeous as is your statue. Lovely pics, all of them and summer will come to you, though I had my doubts if spring would ever arrive here this year too. I want to thank you also for visiting my blog and for your kind comment. I apologize for not sending you a private thank you ahead of this but..well, LIFE, it just got in my way, and I couldn't push it aside so I'm still catching up. Does that ever happen to you?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22918248.post-1145656129400603442006-04-21T14:48:00.000-07:002006-04-21T14:48:00.000-07:00OH MAN!!

I have been looking at a nikon also, but not sure which I want. The canon EOS looks good too. I have the SOny Maxim which was my first digital, and now this SOny. These are added to my Canon Advantix ELF (which I also found to be very convenient.) and my 2 Minoltas, a minolta XG-1 and a Minolta X-700, with all the lens, and gadgets. I also have a Mamiya 645 medium format camera that I cant find fillm for anymore. <BR/><BR/>I need another camera like I need a hole in the head, but if I had money, I would just drive around and shoot pictures for fun!!!Mary Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07118106177725242820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22918248.post-1145648179282257592006-04-21T12:36:00.000-07:002006-04-21T12:36:00.000-07:00Great photos with your new camera, Rain. We shoot ...Great photos with your new camera, Rain. We shoot with a Panasonic FZ20. It has a Leica lens and a 12X optical zoom. The lens is not interchangeable, and is part of the camera, so it's very light. However, the downside is that we can't change lenses and add a wide-angle. We have bought a lens extender which increases the telephoto by 50%. <BR/><BR/>I love the freedom that digital photography gives. It allows for exploration and experimentation without costly processing fees. Wonderful.robin andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13390482190562312928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22918248.post-1145634558716667492006-04-21T08:49:00.000-07:002006-04-21T08:49:00.000-07:00We had an olympus before the Canons, Fran, and lik...We had an olympus before the Canons, Fran, and liked it but ours was old. It had great color but was very pixillated. I still miss it on hikes as it was easier to carry. You get great pictures with yours. I really wanted the SLR again for composing-- even though with computers, you can do so much of that after you have the photo.<BR/><BR/>I am lucky so far with my tremors also. I had an aunt who had to drink with a straw. I find it inconvenient at times, and even with the keyboard, when I am shakier than others. I can though sculpt and paint, do detail work, I just have to sometimes use two hands.Rain Trueaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994628226501093880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22918248.post-1145598188990772612006-04-20T22:43:00.000-07:002006-04-20T22:43:00.000-07:00My 35 mm is Canon, but my digital is Olympus.

By the way, I have familial tremor also, though it hasn't manifested as severely yet as it has in my older sisters.

My husband has the Canon EOS 20D and it's a step up from my Rebel with the stabilizer in it also and more telephoto; but I didn't like the heaviness of it. The weight of the Rebel without the telephoto is about what the Nikon 35mm had been. You can't throw it in your pocket for a hike but the quality of pictures are worth that sacrifice.<BR/><BR/>The new thing for us is the zoom lens, and it's been wonderful too. It just opens up a whole new world of options.Rain Trueaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994628226501093880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22918248.post-1145574672715021682006-04-20T16:11:00.000-07:002006-04-20T16:11:00.000-07:00so you have joined the Rebel shooters :) The color...so you have joined the Rebel shooters :) The colors are lovely so filled with spring.

Think I need to consider getting a similar lens one of these days.<BR/><BR/>Must come back and read slowly some of your earlier posts.
