Re: Pics from the Maldives

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I currently use an Olympus E-1 but it is outdated and heavy.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

Would you recommend it?

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)

Nice pics indeed, but all the ones I looked at say they were taken with a Panasonic DMC-FZ8 not a 400d

Re: Pics from the Maldives

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

I took both cameras so the Blue Heron for example was shot with the 400d and me having a beer or two with the DMC-FZ8 and a SeaLife DC500 for the underwater shots.

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.

Re: Pics from the Maldives

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!

thats fine, Jenufa's is a lovely photo, I didn't expect to win, I just like mine as well.

More than happy with that panorama, its supposed to be getting delivered as a poster any day now...

Re: Pics from the Maldives

Wow

It must be hard living there - imagine living in a place... knowing that everywhere else on earth is not paradise.

Where would you go on holiday?!

These shots are great jenufa I'm engulfed in them!

That underwater camera sounds interesting. Have a G7 and maybe the underwater housing would be a good idea.
