nice photos 
We went to the Maldives in December but haven't posted any of my photos yet.
Can I ask what camera you have? I'm currently looking at the Canon 400d and have a feeling this is what you have?
I currently use an Olympus E-1 but it is outdated and heavy.
thanks

On Topic:
Here's a small version of my panoramic of the island we went to (Sun Island).
I'm very proud if it! (That's my beautiful girlfriend in the bikini) (clicky) |

I really enjoy using the 400d. But if you are thinking of upgrading then the new Canon 450d will be on sale at the end of this month I believe. Which will bring down the price of the 400d I would have thought.
Excellent Pano well done

Excellent Pano well done  | I had heard about the new 450, but hadn't thought of it meaning a price drop, so that's fantastic, I might hold off then. I have very bad patience, so will struggle to wait, but it will give me a chance to save a little!!
thanks  I really do like that panoramic, one of my favourite shots.. I've ordered a poster of it from snapfish.

We loved it over there (I reckon the seaplanes must be the most common photo!) and hope to return one day.
So many photo opportunities on such small islands!
