surprised you were able to catch anything on a digital camera. I have a sony something or another but the delay from the time you press to the time it takes the picture, I'm lucky to catch the grandbaby smiling let alone lightning.

Am I doing something wrong or is the delay just a fact of life with a digital camera?

Nice Bufo, Carlos

Eagler, I have the same problem with the delayed action of the digital.... its really a chancey thing to catch lightning or fireworks...

Yeah, the delay is because we're all cheapskates. Our Digital cameras are basically point-and-shoot cameras, and most of the film versions of those have that annoying delay too. Now, if we had digital SLRs things might be different.

Anyone reading this can feel free to send me a digital slr.

Anyway, since we're putting up moon shots, here's mine:

I'll send you out a DSLR right away Dinger.... as soon as I can scrape up $5k - might be a while

Nice moon shot, with it peeping out btw clouds.

Your "obscene" macro shot - LOL, that bulbuous, fleshy thing the ant is on does look obscene! Great shot.
