A couple photo hints: Be sure to turn on IS (Image Stabilization) for handheld photos and use macro when up close. But your photos were good. It just takes a while to get use to the DSLRs since they have so many settings and features.

And for those wanting to read PDFs on eInk devices, I've owned both the 900 and the Kindle DXG and neither was very good at reading them. But then again, neither is a computer. I wish those who produce docs in PDF would find a better, more current, more appropriate format than that crap Adobe invented two decades ago for portable, printable documents. The age of PDFs has long since come and gone, now if tech publishers would just learn that!
Hi, thanks for the photo tips - I have got the lens with IS on (It's a Canon EOS 1000D). I went and bought all the books and magazines, and then discovered the auto modes . Sheer laziness, I'm hoping for a course, but where I am at the moment, there aren't any going.
Yeah, it's a crying shame that there isn't a decent reader out there for PDF.
Unfortunately I get to read a lot of reference materials that come with software products, and all that is by and large in PDF.
I live in hope something will come up not before long ...
