I'd hang on, get a bit more involved with TP and you'll find some better prices in the for sale area, and with people that you're more comfy with than ebay.

I agree with Kitten Matt, even though the prices seem better on eBay, I dont know, or totally trust these people. At least TP'ers, you get to know them and trust them more.

I would pay a bit extra for a camera I know has been well looked after, and from someone thats more willing to help if it goes tits up

I'm staying with the 300d for a while, see how the Sigma 17-70 works with it and then maybe trade up later in the year, I don't need an *0d yet really and right now the 300d is fine, I'd like a bigger LCD but thats about it. As my photography becomes a little more adventurous and I need the extra quality and sensitivity that a *0d will offer then I'll look at trading up, or of course if the 300d goes pop

Week 4 - Jiminy Cricket, playing his part in the great circle of life (i.e. about to be eaten by a hungry lizard).

I cleaned out my lizard/frog tank today with the hope of getting a few nice shots of either. However, they all got a bit camera shy so I resorted to photographing some of the crickets hopping around the tank instead. Not my best macro shot, but I thought he looked quite happy in there

Incidentally, this is one of the reasons I love macro. You can see all the hairs on his legs, the plates of armour all over his body and things which you could never see with the naked eye. I had another side-on shot of a cricket which just showed TONNES of detail, but his head was out of focus so I couldn't use it. Shame!!

wow.

Davey_Pitch · 25-01-2009, 23:14

Wow, awesome shot Kate. What lens was that with?

lostkat · 25-01-2009, 23:25

Thanks

Canon 100mm Macro, but that shot does the lens absolutely no justice whatsoever. It's an incredible lens.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
