Well done...your first step in the next chapter. Carry on...Excellent beginning!

My long hair dog would love playing on the snow. every summer he is in misery. your dog is so beautiful with the constrasting snow. congrats on your new camera and lenses

Finaly the ice is broken and we can see a cool shot of Eija and a wonderfull background forest! well done! And come back with lotca pictures from your tripp!

Hehehe.. Keep killing me with your shots Mr. Pro :) Love the pose of your lovely model... and this is really amazing shot with special colours from a very special artist and friend :) VOTE!! to da man!! Thanks for that post Andrea!!

YeAAAAAAAAAAAAA NEW CAM!!!! love the wide angel view and always nicce to see your sweet gal there!!!... wonderful first look into your new world here!! canta wait to see more!! supurb!!! V!

Eija is so photogenic and you capture her so well...Now take that new camera..turn it 180 degrees and snap a few pictures and send them to me =)

Beautiful image. Had to take one of my dogs to vets again this week. She is so tiny and has glaucoma:( What a bill. Awesome capture and have fun with new camera:)

Oh... I love this dog.. He/she is so beautiful and I think he/she is very sweet. I am sure I would like this dog in reality. Beautiful portrait so..

What better subject for your first shot with the new camera! Looks like good saturation and range here, and great DOF. Guess you'll be keeping the D200, eh?

Will be following your post to see what the D200 can do. Excellent and wonderful shot. Aloha

You had this for a week, and make us wait this long!!!! 'Bout time buddy. I like the way the wide angle made it look. Your first shot has convinced me to get one.Can you notice the difference in how clear Eija is. Against the snow she just stands right out.This premiere of your best friend is a good start. More more....nag...

Yip thought it would be something like this... Oh yeah this being Awesome!!! ;P Thnanks for finaly sharing an awesome shot from your new cam with us buddy! Hope ya are really happy with the way it's workin for you! Have a great time!

Oh Oh Oh!!! Wise Angles are fantastic! You can get close and still have a wide view with lots of nice details!!! Wonderful work Z! I would've had Eija on the right of the pic but that's me :} And the quality look excellent. All of the mag's that are coming in here now have D200 vs D5 reviews and all 5 of the mags pit the D5 as the better choice... Interesting really seening as so many ppl have chosen to buy the D200... Hell I would be happy with a D200 over my 350D. But the 350D is more of a ladies camera... I don't wanna look too gay :} Have a wonderful pre-pre weekend day!

She's still (counting Kita and Xavier out) the most precious creature on earth! And of course, you know that you'll always get a fantastic reaction if you upload one of her captures right? Give her a great big bearhug from me will you? Wide angle, huh? That's my next mission (hubby doesn't know it yet wicked laughter) Great shot my friend! And congrats on your new toy! I hope it brings you hours of joy, like mine does me ;0)

great shot I like the pov

JUST GORGEOUS !!!

Ooooooooh! Ahhhhhhhhh! Yeay!!! Big congrats Andreas. May you spend many happy hours taking photos with your new mistress. I do like the way the wide angle warps things. Way to go buddy!

I want that lens!

Ha ha, a live audience to enjoy all your results! Fantastic work, Andreas!

She makes me miss my Molly!! I miss having a dog to love and care for. Sniff sniff! VOTE

Still have snow eh????? What a great blue sky in this also!!!! Excellent first, can't wait for many more!!!!!!

Awsome. This just could not be bettered! You have pure talent my friend. I have known folks with the most up to date camera's take pictures of no worth. With your eye you could take an exquisite photo with an old brownie!! Perfect!

She's the best there is ;) Sooooo lovely.

Well I must say it's about damn time! I know the little buttons and settings can be a little intimidating at first, but with time like second nature. For your first few photos this is excellent...I know I had a bunch of rubbish for awhile in my excitement to shoot the new cam, but I settled in and now have a better grasp of it..Always a pleasure to see Eija, I bet she can't wait to lay on solid ground instead of this snow~ Aloha buddy!

I love Bernese Mountain Dogs! I have one myself. Great dogs, great companions. Great picture!

gratulation for your new toy... :))) has to be a great thingy... :) hope you'll have loads of fun with it...!!! hugehugs and - well - have fun!!! oh - i like that pic...! :) great colours!!! WA lenses are wonderful toys!!! :)

Relaxation under this beautiful blue sky! Cheer for your click! ;)

She's really enjoying the great out doors! I know she's got to be such a happy dog. This is beautiful.

Wowww...I love how it made the forest look too! Fantastic backdrop of that BLUE and the feathery green leaves which frame your Gorgeous Eija just perfectly. :-) It is a stunning premier and I'm sorry that I got here so late that the red carpet has already been rolled up and put away. Sigh Anyway...it is a beautiful photo and you must be so HAPPY!!! to have this wonderful new camera. :-) V
