Great shots there indeed, I'd never sell my D40, never fails to amazes me the quality of photo you can with the righ lense for such an inexpensive DSLR.

Same way i feel about my Canon 1000d, such an inexpensive SLR, but coupled with the right lenses it can produce brilliant shots. I wouldnt say no to a 1d Mark III however

one from last night, not as good as what it could have been as at one point the moon just looked huge ! but I'm still happy with it

That website is awesome. Nice find.

EDIT: Came out with this pic. If only it would allow me go just a tad wider.

First time I saw this I really did think it was a toy car

How do you go about getting the moon to show the craters and all that when editing? I can't figure it out.

Raikiri · 2 Mar 2010 at 21:29

Yours is over exposed, try 1/160s, ISO 100, f5.

Nice work.

Mr Jones · 2 Mar 2010 at 22:15

That little chimp on the ground shot is brilliant!
What lens did you use for your Zoo visit?

Andy90 · 2 Mar 2010 at 22:20

Thanks guys, I'm pretty pleased about the little Chimp photo - definately a shot that makes people go awwww.

As for the lens most of todays shots were taken with the Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM. Its a really nice lens and capable of some nice sharp shots.

Number 3 is really nice! The eyes look great

Was nice weather in Essex yesterday so I went down to Mersea.. Here's a couple of my shots.

Gave me a chance to try out my 16-105 a bit!

ScarySquirrel · 3 Mar 2010 at 10:35

I love that baby chimp Andy90, he is so cute! Great shots.

ghop, some nice shots there, the second to last one in particular is very very nice. Would perhaps have preferred to see it framed with more sky and less ground though, landscapes tend to be more pleasing to the eye if the rule of thirds is applied.

Also you should straighten the horizons on some of them.

Took a trip over to Bushy Park yesterday. This Heron was chilling out on the pond.

Just annoyed that in my haste to capture, I didn't check my ISO... 800 on my a300... Think I've just about got away with it.
