excellent that you've got a new camera .. for ppl with a serious addiction to photography a new camera or lens is an incredible blast ...

both the lenses i have i totally love ..
my Tamron AF 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 XR Di II for Canon i got with my canon 400D ... its been the best lens .. my gripe with it is that i often get a grainy image and its not an excellent lens having a fairly ordinary glass ...
i got the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 USM Macro after pro-ing and con-ing for ages and ages .. the fact that my tamron was having problems was the spur i needed to finally get the canon 100mm which is an excellent lens .. check out the pics other ppl take with it .. very clean and sharp .. of course being a fixed lens it can be extremely limiting if you havent got anything else, which was the situation with me for two months when the tamron was being fixed ..
when i got the tamron back last week it was a total blast and i really appreciated the positives of it that i hadnt before .. like the 18-200mm ... EXCELLENT .. wide angle which i love and the 200mm zoom .. of course when you zoom 200mm the pic quality does suffer ..
i'm sure other ppl will have some great recommendations on which lens to get .. these things arent cheap .. i was very luck to be able to try out the canon 100mm macro when i met up with owen at one of our gtg's .. buying without trying something so expensive and so IMPORTANT!!! would suck if it turned out to be not wot you really wanted .. :)
GOOD LUCK .. start a thread .. altho you probably have already !! :)
yep .. just checked !!!!!

FANTASTIC .. not only because its an awesome photograph but because i thought the bird was dead as a thumb !!! ... love the reflection and colours ... :)
edit after posting .. ok i decided to see how i could possibly have thought this bird was a dead bird as a thumb, especially after looking at the larger version .. IT LOOKS NOTHING LIKE A DEAD BIRD !!! ... i think it must have been coz i looked at the thumb before opening for about 1/100th of a second ... maybe at 1/50th of a second it would have been totally obvious that the bird alive and having a drink .. :)

this would have to be one of the stranger looking insects eh? .. and its posture makes me think its preying on something even smaller than it is .. its body looks a bit like that of a baby bird .. without the legs and the head of course .. :)
