Thanks tlc and MnDM. He's a good boy really! :laugh:

You're definitely getting the hang of this lens tlc! I really like the first shot with the white background and the flowers are gorgeous! I try to lean the camera on something if I can - otherwise I lose a lot of shots to camera shake.

Some really good shots in here! I have a couple of late entries, I did take them in August!

I have the Tamron 60mm tlc, it's dx only. The Tamron 90mm is full frame and seems to get good reviews. I love that pic too CC, it would look terrific up on the wall!

Thanks MnD's Mum. :) I'm enjoying the long zoom - no sparrow is safe! :laugh: Now I'm just waiting for the moon to get full! Day 234 - Gnomes (iphone) 366 Days 234 Gnomes by nzalis99, on Flickr Day 235 - Geranium leaves 366 Days 235 Geranimum Maderense Leaves by nzalis99, on Flickr

New Camera! :D Canon Powershot SX260 HS. I didn't have a really long zoom - this goes from 25-500! Macro isn't bad.....

Why settle for them tlc? When you can have this! LINK I love Photojojo I haven't bought anything yet but I'm pretty tempted! I went to the garden centre yesterday - both Camera Awesome Awesome Gnomes by nzalis99, on Flickr Awesome Flamingoes by nzalis99, on Flickr

It's dinky! And cute!

Great shots tlc - very sharp. I just watched the video on the link you posted before, the lens is tiny - especially on the 5D! It looks great though - I hope it sells really well and Nikon decides to make one! :laugh:

Great shots everyone! I'm definitely going to have to work out how to use Instagram and Hipstamatic! kiwigirl, I think Queen St has changed every time I go there! :laugh: I've been playing with Camera Awesome......

Gorgeous cat pics Gardengnome. :) In the second one you can see by the pupils that the room must have been quite dim, but the shot has come out really well. WnH I love the little guy's bad hair day! :laugh: The horse seems to gleam in the first shot. tlc, I use an iphone 4s. I agree with you that people don't take it seriously when you use them in public, I don't think they realise how good phone cameras are these days. :) I have hipstamatic and instagram but I don't use them much, I used Camera Awesome for the SkyTower pic but I haven't got back to it since.

Nice shots tlc - you wouldn't know they had been taken on a phone! :) I think the iphone camera is great, it seems to handle tricky lighting better than some of my (real) cameras!

I like the Panasonic GF5. here It's small, not much bigger than some of the compact cameras and comes with a collapsible lens. As it's a micro 4/3rds camera she could use either Panasonic or the Olympus Pen lenses if she wanted to expand. It has lots of special effects built in as well, like soft focus, high dynamic and toy camera. I really do want it myself! :laugh:
