nice pictures, nice and sharp. I do notice a slight yellowish tint to your 3 photos so i presume that a flash was not used.Do you like the nikon?.
I am thinking of getting a digital, but there are so many to choose from !!!

if you want a DSLR

I would highly recomend the Nikon D-80
It's about the highest entry level DSLR
(im in to photography)

I was saving up money for a new D300 but i spent that money on my C3

If your not using flash and want the correct color balance in these photos you must set the white balance to florescent( I can see the reflection of lights in your fender). The auto white balance does not work well on most cameras in low light situations.

I am glad to hear from anyone who knows Photography. I am VERY green. I have had this camera for a week or so. My old HP took a dump.
I have alot to learn.

The Vacume line is for the trans converter Lock-up.
