My Bio
Just some bozo
OMG! Now I have to get home again. . . . So, having emerged unscathed from a 37-mile ride, I decided to try one a bit longer: 50 miles. Choosing the route was easy. I've been to the Art Museum a few times already, but I'd never been on the Pottstown-to-Reading "Thun" trail. The time was an easy choice, too. Saturday morning was looking to be cool and clear so, on the morn, I packed my camera into my shiny new trunk bag, I filled my water bottle, checked the tires, and drove to Pottstown. The first thing you notice is that trail is nice but there's not much to look at. If you picture 19-miles of forest, interleaved with overgrown industri

So, I am writing this from the Pocono mountains, while waiting for SWHTL ("She Who Holds the Leash") to finish getting us checked in, but we aren't really camping, we're checking into the "Great Wolf Lodge" for a couple of days. The place looks like FrontierLand at Disney World but the good news is that I managed to get poison ivy before we even left for vacation, so at least I've got that out of the way. I was running around Lock 60 on the old Schuylkill Canal System which really is a beautiful piece of parkland / industrial history. The pictures were meant to focus on textures and details, cause that's the current challenge at Photographic

Just wanted to say that I found your profile linked in one of the DSLR debates I've wandered into lately!
(I'm looking to buy my first.)

I love the pictures you've taken! I see you use a Nikon D60? Would you recommend the D40?

Thanks,

Thief,

I haven't used the 40 personally, so I can't compare them - but I do know they take the same lenses and everything I've learned is that the lenses are more important than the body - so I would definitely recommend getting the 40 and saving your pennies for when you're ready to buy the accessories and extra lenses you'll want.

I will tell you one thing, though. I was very frustrated with how slow my 60 was, till I realized that it was the memory card that was slowing me down. Make sure you get a "class 6" SDHC memory card, you won't spend all your time waiting for the camera to save your last shot before you can take another picture.
Thank you for the fav!
