  You can travel anywhere in the world, walk into a random KH and give someone a hug and say, "What an awesome organization to be a part of where we can have friends that are total strangers everywhere in the world!"

  SBCheezits, I fell into the Nikon camp because that was what my mentor had. I have no Canon experience, but I know that the two are top dogs and always fight for #1 spot each year.

  I will say tho, I took a class a few months back to refresh myself and hone my skills more and half the class had Nikon, the other had Canon (8 students). The Nikon users were able to adjust their settings much quicker consistently than the Canon users. One Canon guy was a pro photographer for the paper and a total newbie Nikon girl was able to switch settings on the fly much faster.

  But overall, you can't go wrong with either of the two. Even Olympus, Sony... all the rest, they all take great pictures.

  i have a freind who is a great cook and loves to cook for freinds at his house.

  the trouble is: he is not a great cleaner!.

  the result being that the dinner table is caked with dryed on food, the plates and cutlery the same.

  Leolaia, I usually set it to Program or Aperture mode (P) or (A) when traveling. I know what you maen about impatient partners!! The only thing I could suggest so that you can shoot more in the RAW would be to see if you can get a couple more spare memory cards for it. I run around with an 8gb CF card and that allows me to take 400 RAW photos. I need to get a couple more for back up, I have been known to take a thousand shots a day.

  Love your photos btw! Everyone elses too!

  CuriousButterfly, the D700 is absolutely worth every single penny. As for the new D7000 coming out, it looks like a good DX camera. The 24-70mm is great, it is a hefty beast to lug around though. Even the 17-35mm is pretty hefty, but I love all of them. The saturation and color are absolutely stunning without having to do much post editing. I do shoot in Manual mode, I like having it set right before I shoot so I spend less time editing afterwards.

  I love my 50mm prime lens, when I want to conserve weight on a hike or bike ride, I'll toss this lens on and it's perfect.

  SweetBabyCheezits, a Circular Polarizer is a must for landscape photography, you will not regret that purchase at all. My filter I use at night or extreme low light is a ND or UV filter, gives me good saturation and color too.

  I dont care how close of a friend they are or aren't, anyone invites you over and its that unclean, I'd refuse to eat and I would actually have to leave. That's disgusting. In fact, it's so disgusting I would outright say, "Thank you for the invitation, but I refuse to eat in such an unsanitary manner and I will have to be going".

  The Secret of NIMH and Watership down, great books and Secret of NIMH was one of my favorites as a kid. Love it!

  Edit: That owl movies just looks lame, even heard a 7 yr old say, "that looks dumb".
