    helle, 400d is just an older model. It's what I have and I got it almost 4 years ago now. 1000d I think is just a newer model a bit higher up than the entry level 400. Now a 5d or even a 1d, that's a camera!

    Lenses can make a huge difference too as can a speedlite. I have a 480ex. It makes a huge difference when you can diffuse the flash to the ceiling, makes for better portraits and indoor shots.

    Not sure what you can do about the crispness? Do you have a filter on the front of your lens?

    Aaah, i see i see...

    I have a filter over the lens, yeah.. but it's not filtering anything. it's just clear to protect the lens from being damaged (you know, cheaper to replace the filter than the lens if it gets scratched...) it's really annoying me. Maybe it's just how i'm using it?

    how much are those 480ex? they'd fit onto a 1000d eh?

    Lol. I'm totally lost with the camera talk. It makes me realise how little I actually know about all of it.

    CBG - 2days on popular is great!!! Well done to you!

    Swoop - YAY for your neon heart on popular. I fav'd it. I totally love it!

    Haven't gotten around to uploading mine for today. It's a bit boring though.

    Just a quickie before I lose power - my shot of DS made popular. I'm kinda stoked, it's one of my favourite shots of him ever. Camera is wrapped in plastic and stuck in a cupboard. It's still calm here - less than 20km away the rain is horizontal. Not long now...

    why did I ebay camera stuff??

    I found a guy selling a film camera, with a macro lens (that i'm sure will fit my DSLR, because my film lens fit it...) and the bid is at $20. Ok, so it has two days to go but a girl can dream, right?

    Jewel, thanks for the fav it is my fave of my own stuff too if ya get what I mean. There's lots of stuff on 365 that totally knocks my socks off though - so many creative people!

    Suse - stay safe! Will be thinking of you.

    All this talk of camera equipment is making me twitchy in the credit card department! I've just remembered my dad gave me 3 of his old lenses - one is smashed inside but the other two seem ok I think - might take another look at them and even if they're no good for me I could take them to a camera shop and trade them in for something I really want (like a macro lens ).

    You know what I hate. When you get a shot, put it up and get a better one later.
    I'm considering doing a 52 project just to cover those I miss!

    Suse - Take care.

    MummyNaomi - Great shot. Did it take you a while to get that photo cause he kept moving and wouldn't stay still? Lol
    I love crocs and how simple they are for my little man to slip on and off all by himself.

    Jewel - I am obsessive, I usually take 10+ photos of my planned pic for the day then sift through and pick the best one. As my subject is a fast moving toddler - thank god for a fast shutter speed

    I'm making my 365 blog into a photo book. A Photobook site I have used before now offers a 200 page book, so if I do two days to a page I will be able to fit it all in one book - Take a sneak peak

    Clover - do you live close to the beach - if so, what a wonderful canvas you have to photograph - YAY
