I've take the day off today as i've come down with a horrible cold/flu, After a few hours in the house, I started to go stir crazy.. So I went for a walk.. Trusty 350D + 70-200 F/4L in hand!

Took quite a few shots around the local parkland, however these two stood out to me..

Cheers for looking
Alex.

Nice actions shots.

Got to love the lizard lifestyle; chilling on rocks, occasionally darting between vantage points :)

Hope you get better!

Thanks guys... Seems the old 350D still has life in it yet...

Still... with my parents going to Singapore in March, I'll be getting a new body! Still tossing up over the awesomeness of a 5D Mk2 or a 50D.. Frame rate vs full frame/hdvideo.. (I really need frame rate for my wildlife photography... but for my landscape stuff, full frame + my 16-35 F/2.8 would be awesome!

I like 'em Alex.

I'm also in the middle of deciding on a DSLR purchase.

Am leaning quite heavily toward a 40D at the moment. The price is very tempting.

I know a 50D etc would be an improvement, but I think the 40D will do nicely for my entry point into 'proper' digital astrophotography, and it will serve me well for terrestrial stuff:)

Thanks everyone..

Matt, the 40D is a great camera, especially at the current price.. And as a starter cam into deep sky photography, it will be fantastic.

Im leaning towards the 50D or 5D mk2 depending on what I can get it for in singapore March next year... Making decisions on something as expensive as a camera or a new telescope can be difficult. Mainly because you dont want to start thinking in a months time... "Gee I wish I had have gone with something else..."
