I think my crop is still better :p And please stop referring to me by all those stupid pseudonyms. Excellent choice of equipment, though you keep forgetting to mention which Manfrotto head you acquired.

Last weekend I bought a new camera. My old Konica Minolta Dimage 200 wasn't cutting it any more. It's a great camera, I've taken loads of great snaps with it. BUT, it was just an advanced point and click. Sure it had aperture and shutter controls, but it remained point and click.
So, I took the DSLR plunge and bought a Canon EOS 40D, along with a Tamron 18-250 lens and a Manfrotto 190XB Tripod. Playing around with the camera a bit I noticed a HUGE difference between DSLR and everything else. The main difference is that what you see with your eye is exactly what you see in the camera. This may sound weird, but try using a DSLR and you'll understand.
Anyhow, so today me and Kelly went out on our first "Photoshoot". We went to a nearby local park and took some pictures of the trees, wildlife, etc etc. The results ranged from crap to OK, but nothing spectacular. Of course I wasn't too disheartened, it was my first go at a DSLR shoot.
But there's one picture that I really liked. Kelly spotted a bird on a tree and we zoomed in to find that it might be a Kestrel, some bird that is rarely seen. Anyway, tons of snaps later and with a little bit of cropping (thanks for the tips PyroMax, or is it Jinx, or is it Anmar M?) and the result is below. Hope you like it :) [Image]
