medium quality; blurred. Was on both of them. I realize that 2 mp on the Sony and 3mp on the Nikon do not lend to being super sharp but I could not see anything to indicate blurred.What were the exact messages you got from iPhoto?

Back in March the bomber Memphis Bell came to Tucson. On Sunday morning armed with both my Nikon D3000 & my Sony DSC-h2 I took some pictures of the glorious old girl and have been befuddled by the fact that iPhoto says both cameras pictures were blurred. I have attached the photos.

The history of a place can have a definite effect on the way a picture comes out. Good show.

I spent 3 years there. I was in the equipment operator "A" school form April of 1969 to June 1969. Then went to Iceland. I went back to MCB-4 from Nov. 70 to Jan. 73. Loved it there.

My first car was a 1958 Buick. It was all Black w/ a red & white Interior. I bought it in 1966 for $100.00. Wish I still had it.

Road trains are huge trucks (around 600HP) pulling 3 full length semi-trailers in inland Australia. Their major load is live cattle & one train can weigh around 120 ton or more. They travel at 65MPH. Naturally they are restricted to what roads they can use.
Believe you me, if you have one hurtling towards you at full speed in central Queensland, it is a frightening experience. Just pull right over & let him go right on by.

Yes but I would love to drive them. I just could not wear the short pants.

Yes and if I were younger I would go and try to drive them. I did the Rocky mountain doubles(2 40' trailers) and enjoyed driving them.

Imagine one of those Austrailian 3 semi trailer road trains crossing it at about 40MPH.That first bridge must give people pause when the drive over it - no sides!

Thank you all for the interesting rundowns. I have been trying to decide if I wanted to get a tripod/monopod or just get a tripod. I have been seeing other posters had one of the combo units. I saw an ad today for a used Manfrotto 055xprob /w an 808rc 4 3 way head and was considering it as well.

Does anyone have a tripod with a monopod built in? I am looking at a SUNPAK Ultra 7000TM and wondering if it will be enough for a Nikon D3000 and a nikkor 55-200 lens. They have them at Best Buy for around $70.00.
