      I really gotta get me a decent camera.

      Solo,
      You might want to look at the Canon G10 - about $410 from Amazon or BH Photovideo. I get tired of toting my heavy DSLR around and just got one. Has almost all the features of the Canon DSLR including equiv. 28 to 140 mm zoom lens. Very nice and extensive control features on the camera so you don't have to mess with menus. 3" live view screen too, and 14.7 Mpixels. It will fit in a big pocket too.

          Enjoying all the pictures.

          Mateo, I like the peaceful feel of your shots and the definition, particularly the water shots. Feel like swimming... or just staring. I assume that's the Dalmatian coast?? We have a rocky place like that in California (Point Lobos). In fact, a number of your landscape shots could be California scenes, with similar vegetation and hills.

          DE: "Guanajuato" is a very nice composition and grabs the mood of Mexico.

          Nom: All great shooting. (Do you still call it Saigon?)

          Thank you all for posting.

            No its now Ho CHi Minh City after the the Unification in 1975... Saigon was the former name but now name after the national hero the Great Ho Chi Minh... But people especially in the south still refer to call it Saigon....

              pbacot: Thanks a lot, Well Croatian coast is just like this, and all the way, the best way to explore it is to take a boat for two weeks and just drift along visit some of over a 1000 islands and discover beautiful scenery. I live here and I should be used to it but I am always again and again fascinated by its beauty. You do not have to be a great photographer to create these images, they present itself. Listen I cant write any more they will criticize me for advertising. 😆
              Yes it looks like Californian coast, I believe you have similar vegetation as well. Another place I have seen similar scenery is at some parts of Cot D Azur, the French and Italian coast.
              Here are some more shots. This time it is from a small peaceful ((at this time of year) place Brela (Makarska riviera)

                                  Nomeradona, I take my hat off for you. You are the Master of Photography here.

                                  I had to look really hard in my Images folder for something half-decent, but here come the first one:

                                  I took this picture when traveling from Guayaquil to the Andean city of Ambato, in July, 2004. The road is windy and dangerous, in the middle of mountains and fog. I tried to took some sunset pictures, but sunset in the Equatorial region is pretty quick, so I soon found myself shooting in almost complete darkness. This photo turned out horribly blurred, but for some reason I really like the colors. When I saw the resulting image in the LCD, it reminded me of a William Turner painting, in which the light was far more important than the shapes. After I took this picture, the driver, a friend of mine, found himself in the middle of a dense fog, and with no sunlight, so he decided to follow the faint lights of a truck that was in front of us. I also think this photo has an emotional value to me because we were traveling to the funeral of my grandfather. I was not very close to him, however, since I lived in Guayaquil.

                                    This picture was taken in a park near the University where I had graduated, one year after graduation, in January 2005.
                                    I tried to achieve a "soft water" effect by placing the camera on a minitripod in the border, and using a slow shutter. It was 7pm, so the sky is not completely black, but navy blue.

                                      In April 2005, my brother convinced me to visit a zoo with some friends. I usually don't like zoos because I prefer to see the animals running free in Animal Planet, and find zoos depressing.

                                      This monkey had the saddest expression I've ever seen in an animal. He seems to have lost all hope of escaping his cage. What is he thinking?

                                      Canon A75, noisy because I used ISO 400 to avoid motion blur. 1/80 sec, F/4.

                                        That's a tough shot without the water backlit.
                                        The shot of the monkey says it all. Breaks your heart.

                                            nice try but i think you have to decrease the time more of the shutters speed. this way you will have softer and brighter image. i think half second is still fast. The f measure also you could increase it though. the DOF is indeed really shallow thats why you end up with a bit blurry image. once you increase the fvalue you will see, you will have a sharper image and softer water because of the slow shutter speed. Dont worry anyway your camera is in the tripod. One lasting make the ISO as low as possible i will go for 100 and dont touch it. just experiment with the shutter speed and aperture size.
