Kickflip, while my camera is indeed a nice one, most photographers donīt like it to be implied that the photos are nice because they spent a lot of money. I could take very similar photos such as these with practically any camera. Itīs about the photography skills, not spending the money.

Put it this way, I could give my mother my camera set up and her photos would not have looked like this.

Ya, true. But even still, that camera takes very high resolution images. Mine is decent, but it's fuzzy around the edges, the shutter speed isnt fast enough it seems like. But I am not a photographer, so it's probably part my fault too.

poop - i'm working as a photographer atm.. made a mistake of saying that to a profesional without realising, boy did i get it. its a bit of an unintentional comment ;p and yea like you say about giving your camera to your mother, same goes for photographers -_-!.

Blackslatejoe - decent camera and some know how and you can perform miracles ;D

I'm still running around with an old f75 nikon, and a d40 at work.

To be fair to Joe, I set everything beforehand into manual (preset the aperture, shutter speed and iso) and the Camera does Auto-focus well most of the time. I got several good ones out of it, so thanks Joe!

Here's a good story to show what I mean:

A photographer is invited over to his friend's house for dinner. The wife is cooking, and while cooking the guy takes several photos. The next day he emails the photos to the couple, and the wife responds, "Wow, these images are great, you must have the nicest camera.". The photographer held his tongue and said nothing. The next week, the couple had him over for dinner again. Upon finishing the meal, the photographer exclaims, "Wow, that dinner was amazing, you must have the nicest pots and pans."

Nice concept Poop :), what lens are you using?

As for the camera Poop. What are you talking about mang? The cost of the camera is in DIRECT relation to the quality of the shots. Example:

Here is a pic of Jessica Alba with a point and shoot camera (forgot what brand)

Now here is another with a Canon 1Ds Mark II:

Isn't Wolverine Canadian?

Isn't Wolverine Canadian?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolverine_%28comics%29He WAS Canadian... if you remember back in Wolverine #209 he applied for a immigrant visa and by the end of that issue, it turned out he was denied the application. The story arch wrapped up in issue #213 where he stormed the Immigration and Naturalization Services office in Flint Michigan with all the correct paperwork in triplicate and applied for political asylum. Then denounced his Canadian citizenship.... I swear this all happened.

Isn't Wolverine Canadian?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolverine_%28comics%29

Yep. Born & bred. Served in the Canadian army. Born to a rich Canadian family, as James Howlett, in the late 1800s. Wolverine is 100% Canadian. His fictional legal status is something that has been played with for years.

BTW, two versions of this cover were printed. The variant cover has the Canadian flag:

http://www.gatewaycomics.com/catalog/images/BI_MAR062126b.jpg

The original American flag version was designed to reflect the fact that the enemy inside issue #2 of "Wolverine Origins" was Nuke, a character whose face is tattooed with the American flag.

There's a running gag that the bad guys always assume that Wolverine is American because he's a member of the USA's X-Men and Avengers instead of Canada's own Alpha Flight. Naturally, Wolverine usually reminds them that he's Canadian - before kicking the snot out of them.

Legal or illegal immigrant status aside, Wolverine is pretty much on a government protected list now that the mutant population is down to around 200 (including Mutant 0 and the recent Messiah Complex baby newborn). A story from a couple of years back knocked the mutant population down from about 16 million to 198. It doesn't matter much where he lives seeing as how the world's governments are keeping tabs on the last remaining mutants anyway.
