I recently bought a new camera, a Nikon D40. Here are some pics taken this morning at the start of the Governor's Cup Tourney:

Making bait


Getting ready. Just over 100 boats entered the tournament.



Look Out! He Has A Gun!



And they're off!



There was a shore fishing category too...

Yeah, I like the D40 but I'm mostly just doing point and shoot for now. It's really fast, always ready, the lcd screen on the back is really nice, big and clear and the view through the lens is great. Feels like I'm using my old 35mm film slr.

The last fish is a botete, or puffer. Eating them can kill you but a friend of mine eats them. This one I believe is a Bulls Eye Puffer.

Keep em coming Don!

What a pleasure. Great resolution, you must have a ton of those pixcels running around in that thing.
