I think that is what I have, too. I take myself to the beach every year for a long b-day weekend and it was raining one Saturday and I went to the mall, took my film in to be developed and bought it. They had a lot of cameras on clearance and I asked the camera guy (it was Ritz Camera) if you were me and had some money to burn (bonus money left) which would be the best camera. He showed me the Nikon with the lens and it was $300 on sale...SOLD!

I have had it since April '05 and am still learning about it. I only found the macro button on the lens about 3 months ago. I could not understand why it had a close up feature and I got blurry up close. Saw the macro button and thought what is this and OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH......:hammer:

You got a Nikon D70 for $300? I'm impressed.

Thats the one Im talking about, and it is a awsome bit of kit. I have done weddings with it, and it is pretty faultless - once you get to grips with all of the settings on it. Definatally worth ignoring the on-board flash and getting a SB800 though. I use a F70 35mm, and i love the way the lenses interchange between the 2 backs

Selling photo's for charity

I have decided to try and sell some of my photographs on a stock site

My portfolio is here:

http://bigwhitebox.com/search/?folio=RichardKing

And over half the procedes from photographes sold go to charity. I will let the other photographers here know how it goes...

Any other budding photographers interested in earning money for charity are free to join in.

Thanks, its my granddaughter Ava (of the avatar) aged 20 months. Watching her discover things for the first time has been awesome. I think we tend to miss that, bringing up our own children. We become too busy parenting to watch that closely.Being a grandparent is the BEST!

Hi King,

can you please (pm) me information about this. I would be interested but I am not sure if my pictures are worthy after I saw yours. Also, what charity, or is there an option to pick?
