Awesome pics CJ. What are you snapping with? We got a Canon EOS 1000D. It's not the top range Canon by far, but it takes cool pics I think. I am looking at buying an extra lens for it as well this Xmas. Any suggestions welcome?

Anyhoo, here are some of your favourite place that I snapped today on my way to the garden centre. As well as a few of museumplein, etc.

So here is the Old Girl. Looking pretty trussed up at the mo.

And down the side

And the New Rijksmuseum from the back - not looking too great with that shandy grey hut there.

And some arb shots.




I can see you....


Run, the clouds are coming to eat us:shock:

Actually, this is a nicer shot, at least it doesn't have a big red splodge of sun reflection in it.

I don't think anyone needs a fantastic camera body to take pics. Ur Canon 1000D can deliver the goods for sure.

My digital camera is the Sony Alpha 300. Like urs, nowhere near the top of the line but at the moment, Im not going to shell out 2 grand until my pics warrant the upgrade.

The real quality comes from the lens, not the body. A crappy lens put in front of a 10MP camera body will get smoked by a quality lens on a 6MP body.

So depending on what you mainly shoot, be it landscape, portrait, or telephoto, that will be ur decision on what is good, but don't scrimp. Buy the very best lens U can afford. It will pay you back many times and on many future bodies.

On my regular camera, I;'m still using 4 main lenses built in the 60's (Nikkormat) and that 105 is still one of the best portrait lenses ever made, even by todays standards.
It's all in the glass.

Let me know what you like to shoot category wise, and I;'ll make a few suggestions ... :wink:


MY RIJKS!! What have they done to my baby!! :lol:

I will be there when it opens....

We (the wife and I) are into a mixed bag really. I quite like landscapes, scenic snaps, whereas the good lady is more of an unusual snapper. She'll take unusual angled shots, close ups of shapes and objects (like a pillar, or fence -things as random as that.) I guess something that offers better detail for close ups, but also a good wide view for the bigger shots...no, I don't ask for much:grin:

Think I'll try and pick something up in the UK, good exchange rate with the euro.

If ur not going to go for telephoto, there are excellent deals on lenses at 35-100 mm WITH macro. Look for a 2:1 macro setting.
