This morning from work.. Pilots have said out of all the airports in the entire country the sunrises are the best where I'm at. It looks like this almost every day.

One more from last weekend.. Cellphone cameras just don't pick up the red like a dslr.

Saw this spotted deer on the campus of the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, India.

While we were birding in Coimbatore on the West side of the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu, we were in the scrub jungle on the leeward side of the Western Ghats when we happened upon a family of Indian Wild Boar. The rest of the family scurried off but this youngster stopped, turned back and stared at me. Time stood still while we contemplated each other before he joined his siblings and vanished.

The view from the deck:

seriously amazing pics there. total cost of everything it took in terms of camera gear to produce those pics?

[Scrumhalf]

Camera - Canon 6D - Cost is about $1300.

Lens - First, 2nd and 4th shots are with a Samyang Fisheye Lens - cost $375. This is a manual focus lens, a cheap but good alternative to the very expensive Canon lenses.

The 3rd shot is with a Rokinon 14mm/2.8 lens, also costs about $400 or so.

YOu do need the lenses to give you that wide angle perspective, but honestly, the same photos could have been taken with a cheaper SLR camera costing a third of the 6D. Camera is less important, lenses are where it's at.
