The CoolPix is soooo cool in your hands Leigh...!!!
That deserves a new fish recipe I guess... ;-)

Leigh · Jul 25, 2005

Thanks, Panos....I like the compliment.....I'll love a new recipe!!!

Excellent shots Leigh. I like them all, but the lizard is perfect. :wink:

All of them are excellent Leigh, but I especially like the last one.

Leigh,

I really like them all. That CP8800 really is magic in your hands. I especially like the third one, but I love the detail in the hibiscus. I find them very difficult to shoot because of the long stamen. You were able to keep it in focus and capture the color! Terrific posts Leigh! :wink:

EXCELLENT
The first one is cool sittign on the statue of the frog and you showed whey the coolpix cameras are so good at macro photgraphy

Leigh · Jul 26, 2005

Thanks for your kind words everyone. I really enjoy shooting w/my little camera. It does just what I need to to! Thanks for looking.

Gilles · Jul 26, 2005

The hibiscus is very nice good and sharp colors.

Wow Leigh these are terrific. I can't shoot macro without my tripod. Great job...

Leigh -

Why did I waste so much money on expensive equipment? I'm not showing these to my wife cuz she'll kill me.....

Great shots. The lizard is my favorite.

Hi Leigh,

I got a kick out of your lizard - frog picture. The lizard couldn't be in a better position to observe life around him. The tail on that puppy is really long. Like your other images too.

Leigh · Jul 27, 2005

Thanks, Gilles.

Cindy, if nothing else, I was blessed w/a steady hand.

Gordon, you've got me laughing. I just do the best I can w/what I have. I'm grateful for my little camera and I enjoy using it. Sometimes I think about going to a DSLR, but I love the simplicity of the CP8800. It is limiting, especially in how long it takes to store a RAW image. But for now, it's what I have and since I'm still honing my artistic nature, I'll stick with it.

Cheers to you all!
