Now you mention one of the reasons besides
limited cashflow:) Traveling....I travel all
around Africa mostly by myself, but also made
this long trip from Holland up to Cape Town by
car! Yes, passed all through Egypt as well,
(please be careful there) But its true, you cant
bring big camera's with bagpacks, I was hoping
this SP550 Olympus was much better, 18x zoom etc.
but not really, I am looking forward seeing your
Egyptian pics, don't miss the white desert if
possible!! Jen
it isnt for my purpose,

Don't you dare stop posting - your photos are wonderful! And you don't need a BIG camera - it's just that 4MP has it's limitations. When I want to travel light, I take my little Casio pocket jobbie with me. It's a tiny box, 8MP, but I still get great shots with it. But it's much harder work than my D70 (which incidently is only 6MP - don't be taken in by all the marketing hype...) In fact, on my next trip, which is probably Cairo in early March, I'm most likely going to resurrect my old Minolta, simply because it represents the best compromise between size, flexibility and quality. But it's definitely not a BIG camera.

Thanks again AJ, I almost don't dare to put more
pics on:) I wish I could make this investment,
bought another one recently, the 7MP Olympus, but I know it still isnt a big camera, I'll try to
just put the best ones on, not to disturb the
real photographers eye:) And yes, I really do appreciate your comment, master!:)
Sleep well, xxJen

Nature is cruel (and so are my critiques!)
But Doyle has a point - seals or dogs?
As a composition, this image is wonderful: striking and hard hitting. But there's something about the quality of the shot that I notice again. There is a total loss of detail in the dogs' heads. I checked out the camera spec and guess this may have lots to do with it: it's a 4MP, right? Time for some investment, I'd say - your photographer's eye would certainly justify it.
Hope this is helpful (and to anyone else reading this, well, she DID ask! :)

Excellent capture of nature in action! While some may feel sorry for the sea lions, the alternative is for the dogs to die . . . such is the circle of life.
