alright... no hatin' here, okay? I understand there's a lot of Nikon and Canon fanboys here... but I got a really good deal off Craig's List and to my understanding it's a good learning camera

Sony DSLR's=Minolta Hertiage. Problem is if you really get going into Photography you are a little limited w/ there current offerings

yeah, I know... but I already know I'm going to be limited in terms of $$$ anyway, I think what they have to offer for me to play with is enough (Minolta and I guess Sony), at least for now...

the "beercan" lens I just got... goes back to those days... they were going for about $250 NEW back then, but I guess they were so well made and took great pictures, they're still going for $150-$250 on eBay. A lot of the people with the Alphas are picking these up

What do you guys and gals think about NOT allowing previous work, meaning all content submitted has to be new and taken during the time frame of the contest?
I am just thinking that since one of the main goals for me of entering a contest is to keep myself going out and taking new pictures, it might be an interesting requirement.
Thoughts?

I like the idea; but, it might deter people from entering. Some may not know how to keep EXIF intact if they are using some of the more common image hosts.
Edit: Plus, EXIF can be edited--
Of course, our resident cheater has been perma-banned.
Date/Time Stamp on the photos FTW!

Well, generally speaking, I would lean toward trusting contestants to be honest...

I took this one just the other week. Unfortunately i'm having my camera serviced at the Nikon service center in walt whitman ny. (10 mins away ) If it wasn't there i'd probably be hunting for more critters right now.
Hunting for nuts
Caught this back in buffalo at Delaware park, he was just running around and i was able to get really close to him with my 70-200 2.8 vr lens. I think i got his good side cuz he wouldn't hold still...

I have a feeling I'm going to get hurt chasing after wild animals, my longest (read only) lens at the moment is a 17-40 on a FF.
If we're allowed I'll enter a photo I have taken recently/
