About This shot reminded me of some of the crazy names for English pubs like Slug & Fiddle or Kebab & Calculator, so I give you Snail & Tulip.

Tripod used and mirror lock-up as I wanted to use a low ISO as the 350D can over saturate the reds at higher levels.

I think your snail is an even more interesting touch to the tulip than my mountain!

Brilliant! Wonderful detail and very natural color saturation.

PS You also have the 350d, if you would James please comment about it ability to auto-focus on fast moving objects.....is it spot on or hit or miss Kamran and I are toying with the idea of upgrading our 300d's to either you camera or taking the plunge and getting 20d's. We'd love to hear from you.
Regards
Sal

Alright Sal,

I did read a very good comparison review between the 350D and 20D and the reviewer said that for action shots the 20D was better for a couple of reasons.

i) The viewfinder on the 20D is brighter and the focus hits the mark almost 100% of the time compared to his figure of 90% for the 350D, he also mentions the ability to select AF points is easier on the 20D but I have had no problem with this. In fact most of my shots have been with the Sigma 105 macro lens and I tend to use Manual focus as the Sigam hunts like crazy, but the kit lens (18-55 non USM) AF's fine everytime but the quality of the optics is poor compared to the Sigma. I imagine with a decent Canon USM you would find the 350D does a good job.

ii) The 350D has a maximum burst rate of 3fps for a max of about 14 frames (I usually max it out at 12 frames on JPEG large, less on RAW), where as the 20D has a max of 5fps, unsure about how many it can take but I bet it's more than 14!

I found the comparison on www.whichlens.com..... you may want to check it out. If you want to ask me anything else please feel free to email me on worm1979_1999@yahoo.co.uk

Cheers.
