I thought I'd let everyone know, Monday I went to a camera shop...bought a UV filter to protect my lens and a polizior like someone had suggested with my Colorado pictures (thank you). I'm also going to buy a 300 zoom lens...but that won't come till later...I'll also need a good tripod and some kind of special ring to hold the lens and not the camera part...I forgot what you call those. I have a Nikon N55 and I want to take pictures of sports or people...I want them to look as awesome as Donald's pictures (so now he might have some compitition. he he) Well, thanks. I just thought I'd share the happy news! Johannah

Wonderful news! [Donald has been getting a little full of himself lately, so he could use some good competition.] Those new 300mm compact zooms are really nice. Remember to read Michelle's polarizer tutorial in the Resource Center.

Misha - :P Doody head .... I'm tellin'! 'chelle - Can you at least lock him in the closet or something? He's picking on me again! :) Fear - Sweet. I love my polarizer. The difference it can make in outdoor shots is really amazing. The part around the lens that attaches to a tripod is called a collar and most of your long zooms that would need one come with it, but that's not always true. Sometimes they make it an option (which I think is a crime, but oh well). They are specific to the lens. As for giving me competition, you gotta set your sights way higher than me. :) -=>Donald
