Winged Jewels

My favorite example of God's glory and creativity at Niagara Falls (besides the magnificent falls themselves) is the Butterfly Conservatory.

As usual, I am struck by the beauty of your photographs as well as the subjects of them. God has so blessed us with beauty in His creation!!!
I have been curious for some time...what camera do you use?? and what type of zoom to you have???

Thanks, Pam. I love taking photos of God's creation to share the beauty with others.

I have used several cameras, and I always use zoom lenses because i like the versatility, even though you sacrifice some quality.
I had a Canon Rebel XTi, with which I used 17-85 mm and 70-300 mm lenses, but it was stolen.
My homeowners insurance enabled me to replace my good camera, but this time I went with a Nikon because Nikon has a 'one lens solution' 18-200 mm zoom.
I have won awards--never more than honorable mentions :) --with my first digital camera, which was only 1.4 megapixels!
I currently carry a little point-and-shoot in my purse or pocket (I am almost never without a camera on my person), a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX07. The little point-and-shoots take excellent photos, with many of them having up to 10 megapixels.
If you have a good eye and decent glass, anyone can take excellent photos--it's not the camera, it's the photographer. [Mike commented last week that my photos are "getting better." I'll have to ask him what he thinks needs improvement . . :)].

Thank you so much for your generous comments; I miss seeing you.

Oh, I forgot to mention, Pam, that the new Nikon is a D80. A photographer friend recommended a D300, but I couldn't justify the price for me.
