I'd like to get out into some wilderness like that this summer. But the dog will have to stay at home.

Reminds me of home, mussa.

awsome pics mussa, good looking dogs.  Are you giving tips where the bodies are buried with those pics?

I recently picked up a new camera (Canon PowerShot S3 IS), and I've been trying it out. I'm starting to get into it...

I think I'm going to experiment with some night shots soon.

Nice pics.  That's the same camera I have; how do you like it so far?  I think it's a really nice bang for the buck.

Just did a search for the camera you just bought Sus and came up with this:

Seems like a pretty good deal for everything.

So far, I really like it. I'm wishing for some more manual focus control, though. And there's no place to attach lens filters, which is a bit of a bummer. I will probably to with a DSLR before too long, but this will work for me for now. The pictures are sharp, and I'm just now starting to figure out a lot of the manual overrides.

Not bad. I think I paid something like $325 for the camera and a 1 Gb card (from Newegg). All of that throw-in stuff is okay, but 9 times out of 10, it's junk I wouldn't normally buy anyway.

Does the camera come with the batteries and/or charger or do you have to purchase that stuff seperately as well.  IMO, the batteries and charger along with the memory card is what really made it seem like a pretty good deal. 

Also, have you gotten a chance to take any night shots with it yet?

You can put filters on.

That was one of the things I liked about the camera-- it takes AAs.  I bought some rechargables, and they last forever on one charge.  And in a pinch, you can replace the AAs anywhere.  Battery pack is a pain in the butt.

[Zanshin]

Oh, and it takes nice, crisp night shots, I think.  Here's one I took the first day I got the camera:

rechargeables are your best bet. they do though eventually go bad in time. i bought 2 sets and the two of the 4 don't last as long as they used too. regular batteries get drained so fast compared to rechargeables.
