Hi Djp, I personnaly own a Canon 350 D and I find it great - well the viewfinder is rather small and you may encounter a few trouble with the exposure when you're facing the sun. I use it on reptiles with the 100 mm Canon macro lens and sometimes a 380 EX flash device. If you were to use your father d 10, I'm sure that any macro lens, even from a third party (Sigma, Tamron) would also deliver great results. When the subject is moving and when the light is poor, you cannot beat a dslr. But it's also the most expensive and heavy (even a 350 d) solution. And with a dslr, depth of field matters again : the head of the snake may be razor sharp in focus, and the entire body blured ; naturalists who are not in photograhy (yes, they are some) could find it strange. The last big difference with compact cameras is that you cannot use the screen before you take the picture, which would be easier (and safer...) for macro shots. Eventually, and whatever be your choice, I would advice you to make a little trip to Andorra... All that's goldfinch does not glitter Not all those who migrate are lost |

Both of course ! But yes, prices are said to be really lower there than in France (there's a limit to what you can take back with you without paying tariffs). All that's goldfinch does not glitter Not all those who migrate are lost |

Good evening, Here's a few things concerning shelters, based on my modest experience, here in Belgium. 1. We use mostly corugated asbestos-cement "tins", which are widely available in suburban areas and in the countryside. 2. But a friend of mine has successfully experienced linoleum pieces as a shelters. Under it, he finds almost only juvenile slow worms. 3. We never attach shelters. 4. We place them in places that we think good. After a while, you begin to feel what is a good place, but it's hard to explain. 5. We try to avoid the tins being spotted by people who shoud not check them. As for Lv, I thought that juvenile Vb had to feed on them to complete their growth. But I've also often seen lizards close too basking adders. All that's goldfinch does not glitter Not all those who migrate are lost |
