I have a 24" LCD that I'm lookin' to sell, but it's nothing like the jank TN panels that are so abundant nowadays, it's a Samsung S-PVA panel, which has much better color reproduction and viewing angles.  Everyone always looks at me like I'm crazy when I'm selling a used 24" for more than what you can get a brand new one for, but only a few really understand what makes this such a good panel.

Any links to good photo forums you guys are a part of?

I've had this sitting in a drawer in my office for a long time.  It takes fantastic pictures but I never use it because it's a battery muncher.

Anyone interested?

Bill, kind of off-topic but do you have a copy of the book I could purchase from you Sunday at the autocross?

Awesome Kurt. I have been shooting all weekend at night. Having hard time with infinity focus. Very touchy. Ralph

Lenses these days go beyond infinity making it a big pain in the butt for that stuff.  I shot these with my L lens @2.8 the manual focus on that lens is phenominal, nice and HUGE.

I still can not get anything close to the nebula that you have taken, I think we need to have an astrophotography night.

I'm down for that. I tried shooting a dark sky in Missouri, but it didn't come out like THAT.

I did shoot this one tonight at sunset. With another minute or two, I probably could have improved the composition, but dinner was getting cold.
