ok, well, me and thirschmann were talking about nikons and canons, and we thought it would be a fun idea to compare the two brands.

so this thread will be about sharing the best pic you have gotten out of you canon or nikon, and just talking about the settings, brands, etc.

RULES

this is purley for fun, NO FLAMING, SCREAMING, ETC. !!!!
post the brand and make of your camera

heres the sunset pic.

just a rock at a lake, i liked the colors...

taken with a canon xti with kit lens.

 

["Umm fish?"]

Canon 20D and various lenses, flashes (the butterfly is ambient light). For non-aquarium macro photography, the Canon 65mm 1x-5x macro is a lens that offers ease-of-magnification beyond 1x that Nikon can't match.

wow, beautiful pictures. I have a nikon D80, but my pictures don't look nothing like those, so I'll hold off on posting until i get better. lol.

Are those your shots? Because I got to tell you, the Yosemite shots are just insane. How did you do the water fall with the night sky?
