I was just playing around with PicLens (add on for Firefox - works with Flick, Photobucket, etc.). Pretty cool.

Anyone else try it?

Nope. I'm in a Mac ONLY environment and it says pretty clearly not available for Mac OSX.

This shot has proved to be one of my most popular on Flickr!

That's a great capture Ben.

Here's a couple of shots from my travels this past winter:

Whistler, BC (three-image panoramic


Panorama, BC:


Lake Placid, NY:

I look at those photos and feel cool and a sense of peace.

Thank you for sharing...they are gorgeous.

When I get back Canada in a few weeks, buying a new camera will be on the top of my "To-Do" list. (Just below eating as much pork as one can to make up for a 10 month void)

I figure I'll hear tons from sales people anyway, but I'd like to have an idea of what I'm after. A digital SLR seems like the way to go, but I wouldn't like to spend heaps. I shoot mostly at night, trying to make the best of sunsets. I shoot a lot of concerts as well. Right now I work with a Canon S2.

Any and all tips are appreciated folks...

Canon's are always good in my book. :thumb: What's your budget? You'd probably be better off getting the best lens you can afford, which meets your needs, and then decide on a body. It sounds like you're going to need a fast lens if you want to shoot at concert, but something like this would probably do the trick (especially if you're on a budget). Trevor's the man to recommend lenses for concert photography though.

Also, get yourself a good, sturdy tripod (if you don't have one already). I couldn't live without mine!

I like how this one came out:



But then, I'm a sucker for insects.

Thanks for the compliments - That's exactly how I feel when I'm on the mountains.

Nice work - insects always make a good subject.

Except when they won't sit still for two seconds, the flighty buggers!

I love that mountaintop teepee, by the way. Meant to post that earlier.

Especially tough, manly insects like this one.
