DZ,
I am hoping to have a "proof" when you visit. However, if the fishing picks up...all bets are off.

It would make a great X-mas present.

I hear ya, I hear ya...fall fishing always gets in the way, then the tog bite kicks in and before you know it, its Christmas...It's kind of like guys who own tackle shops, they get into it because they love to fish, then they become so successful they find they have little time to do the very thing they love most.

Maybe this year....

Jim, your calendar is up in my office and the amount of people, non-fisherman, than compliment them pics is nuts. I am suprised at how many people actually recognize the areas. I find myself daydreaming looking at the pics a few times a day.
Whats the plan for 2009, is it just BI or BI and RI coast?

This gives you a good feel for how clear it has been.... I was off Gay head with a zoom lens and couldn't resist taking this. (untouched, just reduced in res for posting)

Plan for 09 was BI and some of the south shore of RI but I think I may just concentrate on BI and do a separate one of mainland RI, I have to go thru them all still. There are a lot of interesting nooks and cranny's on BI to look at...we'll see, I am putting it together this week.

BTW, as always I will toss in all the misc photos I took along the way on the disk (like this one) in full res. (New camera this year...cannon 12mp slr, raw images should be blowable to poster size with photo quality)

That is nothing compared to where I was on Thursday and everyone was trolling. A traffic cop was needed. Great photos and look forward to seeing your calendar

you know, I used to feel the same way, but in a couple a years it will be obsolete anyway and not worth much so take it for those good pics. I have my old dig rebel with the zoom and gave it to my kid.

Get a good bag and keep it in the bag and take it out for the special shot. Keep the pocket digital for the regular action. I like canon lenses too, that is the only reason I keep buying their camera. Most of the money is in the lens anyway, so just upgrade cameras and keep the lens.

What is amazing about that camera is how fast it is. You turn it on...and it is on, you push the button and it starts cranking photos fast!. I got an 8 GB card and it does the job. The battery is also very good.

I wish I would have had that camera for when I had that blue marlin on...I am kicking myself for not bringing it. The pocket cameras just can't take those kind of photos, the lens is just too small.

Nice pics, in the second one I swear I see a fish.

I just picked up a Sony Sigma A350 14MP, and 2 zooms. I still have my Maxum 5000i as well, and a great pocket digital, an Olympus Stylus (water resistant). I was working in Hull today, and Nantasket was ripping this morning, I was wishing I had the Sony in the truck. The surfers were having a ball, and there would have been some great shots for sure.
