I took every frigging lens, every filter, tripod, expodisc to the Aquarium in Okinawa Japan today and as soon as I got to the place (an hour and a half from home) I realized I forgot the most important thing for the Nikon D70. A compact flash card.The gift shop actually sold CF cards but I wasn't going to pay $40 for a 64 meg card. Fortunately, one lesson I learned from experience was to carry a pocket cam or backup cam when you're far from home.
My Canon SD400 saved this day. I would have been sick with no camera. This shot wasn't too bad for a point and clicky. I'd have sure loved to nail it with a DSLR though.

Good advice, with today's pocket digi's into the 7-8 mega pixel range- Like Casio Z750. They can match DSLR in quality.You could salvage a shot such as this one by cropping- perhaps, just one example i did here. No need to show the rust stains around the pool tank.
BTW i now save my photos to- png, a lossless scheme, ideal for the internet. Better than .jpg
It has an almost surreal feel as if the bloke was saluting the dolphins realising they were the future rulers of the planet. A b+w version would be even better in that regard in a sort of post nuclear Japanese way. Erm...
Whereas John EH falls in love with his image and doesn't do enough croping to bring out the best view.Knowing how to crop is the single best way to share a photo with other viewers.
as I was in the audience and about a mile away it seemed. The SD 400 didn't have much reach so I did the crop and picked up quite a bit of noise which I smoothed out with Noise Ninja.Thanks for the tip on png. I'll mess around with it and give it a shot.

With the cropping it looks like the guy is waving to them as they fly by!
