I need to do a lot more work on my composiiton and post processing. I am also anxiously awaiting my 18-70 and my zoom lens as the 50mm 1.8 lens while great for portraits is somewhat limiting for taking pictures of buildings etc.

Everything was shot in NEF then quickly converted to JPEF with Bibble lite. I am digging this DSLR thing though.

Associated Press.. their pictures on the web are always tiny
 
if you get a chance to, go to the City of the Dead. its interesting to see a neighborhood where people live in tombs hundreds of years old, and the inhabitants are really nice.
 
Man... I wish I could go to cairo with my digital camera. I went when I was a freshman in high school. Too young to appreciate anything except the pyramids. Had no sense of architectural or urban beauty.

Heck... I wish I could go anywhere I've been on vacation with my camera. I went to sooo many places as a kid and have no photographs. What a wasted childhood. Gahhh... now I'm depressed. Thanks a lot, OP. :frown:

I'm a gen-x consumer. I need physical objects so I can forget about how much I hate everyone and everything.

Also my memory sucks and I can only remember bits and pieces of all my trips. Virtually nothing about barbados, for example.

Well, that is just an excuse to go on more trips.
 
FYI, that gallery software blows chunks. Takes forever to load the full-resolution JPGS and it does a poor job of resizing so the images are full of jaggies.

Coming from a fellow D50 owner, if you want to do your DSLR justice, post-process the images (regardless of whether you shoot JPG or RAW).

For my web galleries, I always run my images through PS CS2: adjust exposure, contrast, brightness, smart sharpen, and maybe saturation, maybe lens correction, and resize to 10x7 or 12x10 screen resolution. People don't want tiny images in web galleries, but they don't want to load 3000x2000 pixel images either (looks like crap too).
