I've seen these trees for months, and I have noticed the fragrant pretty leaves. But now when the yellow flowers came out I recognized them. They are Mimosas!

Lotta, vad du tar vackra bilder!! Jag ska köpa en ny kamera, kanske överge min gamla trogna SLR och gå över till digitalt. Men nyss har jag lärt mig att det naturligtvis finns digitala SLR. Vad använder du och trivs du med den??
Tack! Jag kopte en Canon Rebel xti i hostas. Valdigt valdigt nojd! Det ar hur kul som helst att ha morkrum i datorn och kunna gora precis vad man vill. Innan hade jag en hemskt gammal Pentax slr.
Det finns massor med (mer eller mindre attraktiva el. palitliga) deals pa natet, men jag kopte till slut min genom Amazon.com. Manga firmor sarskilt pa ostkusten (las denna artikel http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,107855-page,1/article.html) lockar med fantastiska priser men ar inte sarskilt bra i ovrigt.
Men antagligen kan du hitta battre men anda palitliga deals nu efter jul...
Kit-objektivet ar inte superbra, en 17-55mm zoom tror jag. Jag gjorde enorm reseach pa denna fantastiska site innan jag kopte objektiv: http://www.fredmiranda.com/reviews/index.php?cat=45
Fn har jag ett mkt ljuskansligt 50mm och en 100m med macro. Bada mycket prisvarda och bra.
Digitala kameror funkar som filmkameror, med undantag for att forhallandet langd pa objektiv till storlek pa filmruta/sensor ar annorlunda. Sa ett 50mm pa min kamera fungerar som ett 75mm pa en gammal kamera ungefar.
Tack för alla bra tips, nu ska jag sätta mig ner och läsa och jämföra...det blir ingen kamera förrän till sommaren har jag en känsla av :-)
