Some say a decent camera is ok, but don't waste $$ on decent glass, buy the best you can get your hands on. The D60 comes with the VR version of the 18-55 which is apparently better, quality wise. Alternatively, you could consider the Canon camp with the X?i which is probably the closest competition...

Comments for Aaron in particular: I know someone with the Canon 28-200 in mint condition that was considering selling at a fair price. Interested? The 16-35 F2.8L is twice as expensive as the 17-40 F4L and some argue the optics are too similar to justify the added $$. But a similar argument can be m...

Hi Pete, Let me try to explain a bit One school of thought says for consistent shake free shoots of stationary subjects without a tripod/monopod use a shutter speed of 1/focal length of the lens. So if you use a 70-300 zoom at 300 on a 1.6 crop factor camera (40D/XTi etc) the lens turns into a 480 a...

I would consider lightening the foreground a bit (mayb 1 stop) then cropping the top so the horizon is about 1/3 way down. Or do as Draggist suggests and take out the foreground altogether by cropping the bottom so the horizon is again around the 1/3 mark. This will leave a whole expanse of empty be...

Hey, I did not make the rules, these were copied from the net. But yes you are correct in the pts allocation.
