Nice pictures, these are. Great job.

Excellent photos, Phil! Were these shot with the 18-55 mm IS? Very sharp! -- YogiWhen you get down to the nuts and bolts of photography, the results depend on the 'nut' behind the camera!See the 'Plan' in my 'Profile' for my current equipment.

So much for those that criticize the kit lens. Really enjoyed all of these. More please? -- http://araasch.zenfolio.com/

Amazing. Love them all. You really get the best from your gear (although I'm beginning to think you would do well with almost any gear). Thank you for posting these. -- http://araasch.zenfolio.com/

I can't have enough of these glorious pics.Do you have a flickr or other online gallery where I can go and see the entire collection?EDIT - cancel that. Just saw in your signature that you do - I will go over there when I have some more time for a drool! -- Regards, Lionel http://www.flickr.com/photos/lionel_johnson/'It may be that your purpose in life is to serve as a warning to others.'

These are all fabulous, love them all. Ed -- NewYorkEd

... I can hardly wait !Everyone dresses like this all the time, do they ? (just kidding)Great images - with some hesitation I'll be leaving the "big guns" at home and taking a 60D or 550D (or both) with a Tamron 18-270 VC and Tokina 11-16 f2.8. I will probably take a couple of fast primes as well. Your images have made me feel better about the "reduced" kit.Well done ! --Judge: ' This image may be better in black and white - perhaps even just black! '

Excellent second set as well. I am quite surprised at the IQ of the 18-55 IS. Wow! Did you process from RAW with DPP or are these JPGs?Thanks -- Younes ( Paris, FR) K100D,K10D,D40 + lenses

Beautiful colours ! I like the first photo in each set, perhaps something to do with the choice of neutral background colour ?

Beautiful and colorful and love them all. Thanks for sharing.Cheers, Hamdan Abdullah G10, Oly E510 and 40D
