'Ello there. God it's been a long time since I've been here... last time I logged in was all the way back in 2006. I built my current rig way back in mid 2004. Well, as you'd guess my old computer is getting.. well... old. Things are starting to act up in that way they do. So it's time for me to...
Thanks. I took it with a Canon 350D SLR with a Sigma 17-50 f/2.8 and EF500 Super EX DG flash unit.
Thankfully, no, its just my background. They are both Fractal renderings I made about two months ago. If anyone likes them I could e-mail you the .tiffs

at this point im planning one useing a 2 lens setup untill the end of the summer(the kit+the main lens, either the 100-300 f/4+1.4xTC(most likely), 80-400(close second), or the bigma(far third). i like the 100-300 for its good work with a TC, amazing focas speed(acording to what i have heard)...
the sigma 1.4x EX APO.
im not going to have the camera for a month or so(cant get it till school is over), but i will post some as soon as i get it
