Well there's probably about five to six thousand of them. The thing is I used to post frequently until all of a sudden no one seemed to look at my photos and no comments were received, and so I kinda stopped posting. Also since I am not subscribed I can only post one a day. I will try to fill in the gaps soon. Thanks for viewing and comment.

Well If you can't lie face down, try sitting on the sand and get as low as you can. I know the D200 cost us a lot of money but part of that price was the robust body and sealing which you can rely on (I accidentally dropped mine about 6 feet off a wall with the 18-200 VR and SB-600 flash attached and the result was a few scratches on my sb600 which is plastic) Oh and finally I'd like to see more shots with your 70-200 which is haunting my sleep, and threatening my bank balance.

Well now that you have confirmed my guess, I can freely say they also have a very beautiful and talented momma!! :D Keep the pictures comin....and if you have some free time take a look at my gallery with some shots of my baby boy Nathan here http://www.photo.net/photos/Kevin%20Cassar -

Very pretty sisters they are too!!! I see a slight resemblance and am guessing that they are yours. Nice moment captured.

Ok I shall start by saying that I am in no way an expert photographer or a professional one, but since we have some things in common - the D200 and love of kids, I shall give you my couple of hints. Ok first hint is when taking shots of kids go down to their level (even if this means lying down). The impact of the shot will be much more pleasant and will be like seeing the world through their perspective. For example my last post "S is for Slowly Snail" was taken with me lying face down on the sand. Finally unless their is something interesting that will add value to your photo you should frame tightly and unless it's a candid shot wait until distracting things leave your frame.

Beautiful....I have taken a look at some of your photos of your aborable little angel and checked out the lens you were using. I think (guess) this was taken after the ones where the girl is on her own because it seem like you have stopped down on this one getting the subject sharper than the others (which i guess were taken wide open). I have not used a normal lens so far but from what I've read, wide open gives you a limited dof thus making it essential to get the focus spot on. Like most other lenses it's sharpest when it's down a stop or two. Best wishes for happiness with your lovely child and thanks for your comment on my photo. -

All you need with insects is time and patience. IMHO a 500mm lens is too big to get a clear shot without a tripod unless you have a huge amount of light which does not seem to be the case. I have captured dragons with my cheap but useful Sigma 70-300 Apo macro lens handheld at 300mm on my D200. I have both perched and in flight shots in my gallery. Have a look http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=4973736&size=lg if you have time. -

Good capture. Capturing insects in flight is very hard to do and it takes a little skill and a little luck to get a good shot. By the way this is a hoverfly you caught and not a wasp. I have been lucky enough to manage to capture a dragonfly in flight and it took me a dozen shots to get a decent one. Please take a look if you have the time http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=5743635&size=lg

First of all I thank you for viewing my photo and leaving a comment. I often get some good ratings and a few 3/3s but no comments (good or bad). I must admit I took like a dozen shots to get about 4 sharp ones. The deatils for the shot are: 1/2000s F 8 and unfortunately ISO 800. I'm trying to save for an F2.8 sport lens which would have produced a higher quality photo (lower ISO) and a much faster autofocus.

Brilliant idea!! I know it's much easier to critique an idea than come up with one, but I'd have shot the falls with a slow shutter and then shot another with the model in order to have the girl perfectly sharp. Having said that she did a great job to stand as still as possible and you to capture the image.

My goodness..... this photo is perfect in my book. Light - brilliant, model - beautiful, composition - interesting, and the reflection is the cherry on the cake. This is definitely 7/7. -
Fabulous natural backdrop! I'm not sure if this image is made up or taken as it is but in any case it's pleasing.

Baby Nathan after a bath with a "spiky" hairdo. -
This is a great shot of a very cute little girl. On seeing the top part of the background though, I imagine it would have been spectacular had you managed to shoot from a slightly lower angle so as to fill the background with the top part which contrasts much better than the white in the middle!
