Just beware, if Mitthrawnuruodo catches you, he'll beat you with a wet celery.I'm bad.
Sure! What resolution is your screen? I can make you a wallpaper out of that image if you want.
I really liked the industrial-ness of this, croped just slightly to get rid of a street light in the forground.

It rained all night and it rained all morning, and then the sun came out...and I went out for a run up the mountain. I always have a camera with me.

Actually, I'm looking forward to it. He can beat me with a wet celery anywhere he pleases.
Hips Don't Lie?
With what camera did you shoot it? I like the saturation and crispiness of it all. I'm not too happy with my lens and camera. Anyone suggest a decent Nikon DSLR and lens kit to take razor sharp pictures?

Any of the bodies from the D70s forward, though stay away from the 10MP and higher ones if your technique isn't good (you can substitute about a stop and a half for good technique on the D200 and D2 series bodies,) they'll show flaws as softness. Lens-wise it depends on what focal length you're shooting- the 60mm Micro is sharp if you want a mild telephoto, I haven't had real issues with most of the longer length constant 2.8 aperture lenses, and only the 24mm isn't that thrilling to me, I think my 20-30 f/2.8 is sharper at 24mm.
The D50 is an awesome camera and be had new for pretty cheap. I would stay away from the D40 because it doesn't have an autofocus motor in-body, so many older Nikon D lenses will be manual focus only.
There's a lot of sharp Nikkors out there. The new 18-135DX is actually one of the sharpest consumer zooms ever made. The older 28-200G is also a very sharp gem. The 18-70DX is another marvel. If you have some serious bank, you might consider the 17-35D or the 17-55DX. Both lenses are legends.
This is really a picture thread rather than a discussion thread; you might want to do a search and read the many discussions that have already ensued answering this very topic or start a separate thread asking this question.
Since I'm in here anyway, short answer: Nikon D80 or D200, but if you are at a very proficient level and have the funds, the D2Xs. It's really the lenses which are more significant than the body, though. Lenses are dependent upon what you want to do, what type of shooting and what type of images you want to produce. Truly, in reality one kit lens cannot do it all and many people prefer to buy their DSLR body-only and then handpick their lenses rather than just going with a kit lens. As kit lenses go, though. the 18-70mm which used to come with the D70/D70s and now sometimes comes with the D200 is a very good lens. In lieu of the kit lens, if you really just want one lens, an all-purpose walkaround type of lens is the 18-200mm VR. Beyond that the sky and your pocketbook is the limit!
