I just want to tell everyone who published their damn pictures "overthere",
that you forced me to buy my wife a Nikon D50. I purchased the package with
2 telephoto lens. We spent Sunday taking a walk along the river taking
pictures of our dogs, mother nature and the kids playing in the river.

You *******s cost me over $1000, forced me to get out and walk over a mile,
and now my wife is busy looking for new accessories she needs for her new
camera.

If any of you SOB's make recommendations for things we absolutely need for
our new hobby, you will be promoted to GD SOB's.

Get her a really nice tripod. Actually, two. One full size, and a tiny one.
The latter comes in handy sometimes, like for photographing small plants,
ants, etc.

Doug,

Thanks for the reminder, I actually own a fairly nice tripod I purchased for
your video camera that we never use.

I checked out the "mini" tripod, and it definitely looks like something we
"need". http://www.beachcamera.com/shop/product.aspx?sku=CNMT

You *******.

Don't forget good quality polarizing filters for each lens, so she can
remove the glare from water and photograph the fish that you can never seem
to catch. Tiffen filters are a good choice, and quite expensive:

Doug,
I actually purchased a complete set of filters.

http://www.jr.com/JRProductPage.process?Product=3453687

and two UV filters for each lens, to protect the lens and threads. My wife
had a Minolta she purchased in college and the threads got screwed up
because she did not have the UV filter.

Sorry, but you are not a ******* on this one.

The other must have items I purchased is a lens cleaning kit, plastic
protectors for the LED windows, an attachment so the lens cap is attached to
the strap.

She will also need about $500 bucks worth of memory cards for starters.

cameras and use this form, "talkaboutboats.com", emphasis on BOATS, for
talking about boats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

rec.boats is a newsgroup, not a website.
Apparently "talkaboutboats.com" is a web based forum that simply copies the
posts made to rec.boats.

rec.boats is *supposed* to be about boats, but ........

.....since people with manners photograph most of the fish they catch, and
then put them back in the water, cameras are important to boaters.
