thats a nice lens. Sharp and have IS and thats a big plus when the lightning isnt that good. You are going to be more than happy with that combo. But look for a 50mm f1.8, f4 on your lens is not going to be optimal when its darker. and cost only 120 euros. its a must have in your camerabag, great portrait lens

I hope it works out.  It's just a starter camera and lens really, at least insofar as I can upgrade it later if necessary.  I do think it can do the job though.

another thing, postprocessing the photos are important to, get the new adobe elements.

Adobe elements?  Do you have the link?  Basically, the first time around I expect there to be a lot of growing pains.  By the Arnold I think I should be a little more efficient at it, and with time, I'm sure I can have some great photos.

;D  ;D  ;D

Should I shave it?
Personally,I`d keep the beard as women are highly attracted to the rugged outdoor backwoodsy type who have beards and wear flannel shirts !!

Here`s proof!!  :)

elements is the little brother to photoshop, cheaper and easier for a beginner to handle. Every pro postprocess there photos. elements 8 is available in the less legal download sites ;)

another tip is to practise alot before the trip so you get the feeling about things like aperture and shutterspeed. Use the half-auto modes. always shoot with singlepoint focus, the auto sucks.

buy yourself a small hidden camera and place it in your beard. This way you can record it when Wiggs kicks your ass and post it.
Funny stuff!!  LOL   ;D

Hey thanks Tim!!!

I am pro-traditional America.  Within 25 years I think there will be a huge shift towards people with libertarian ideals.  I think everyone likes the poor until they realize how many are able-bodied people taking advantage of the system, all the while, old-age pensioners who need assistance live in poverty.

Obviously you want to get a macro lens then get as close as you can to the bodybuilders glutes!  All the schmoes will be demanding those high res striations!

Good point,but some people are legitamatly bad off and will remain that way forever,unfortunately while others do scam the system.

Taking care of the elderly should be a top of the list objective of every country in existence.

Yes, that is true.  I do think that if the trillions of dollars in welfare remained in the private hands of the people who earned it, that they [with their greater wealth] would be able to help people more, at least the people who truly deserve it.

There was $700,000 in food bank donations in the past year in my region.  This goes to show me that people are willing to give to charity voluntarily and I believe that an economy can only function on the basis of voluntary cooperation.  If people do not want to give to welfare, I believe it is their right to keep their private earnings to themselves.  I think everyone has the right to keep what they earn.

My internet connection costs me $1.  I could save the life of a starving child with that money.  I would prefer to be on the internet and that is my right.  Does that sound cruel?  Yes.  But it is a cruel decision millions of others share with me.  It is their right to do so.

I just hope that American capitalism can survive.  Canada essentially free rides off the American system and without it, we would not have the prosperity that we do.

you mean A-35? they get pretty good reviews, but the thing i like about nikon and canon is that it is so easier to get holds on a good secondhand lens than it is for sony. And they got so much more lenses to. You dont only buy a camera, you buy yourself into the whole line.
