We got a new camera - Canon S3. Isn't that amazing? We were maybe 7 feet away, and that's the picture Paul was able to take!

That's a painted turtle, by the way.

[CathyBogart]

Wow! 0_0 What a great picture!! I'm envious of your new cmera! :)

[Vette]

That is awesome!! looks like Paul was rather close when he took that shot,,
youd never guess he was 6+ feet away http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v472/VettesPetz/Smiles/blink.gif

[buttercup132]

Thats really good.

Dose that mean well see more Miss.Hoppy pictures???

(This is kind of of topic but I never know Karen do you have any other pets?)

[Dorothy39]

Wow, :D .Such Clarity, and he was 7 feet away!!!!! :eek:

Time for me to invest in a better camera. That picture is amazing!!!

[lv4dogs]

I am so jealous over your camera. ;)

That's a really good picture Karen, thaks for sharing!

[Alysser]

You would never think you were 7 feet away! :eek:

It looks more like 2 feet away. What a cute turtle and that photo of him is really good. It has ALOT of detail. Great camera. :)

(This is kind of off topic but I never know Karen do you have any other pets?)

Not right now. Miss Hoppy is an only bunny.

[sasvermont]

Is this what happens to you when you spend too much time in one spot? Green stuff grows all over you?

Just kidding.

What a wonderful photo. I went directly to the net to look in to buying a Canon camera like yours. There is such a variation in prices. All a little too high for my pocketbook right now.

Great, great photo!

Thanks for sharing.

Maybe a new photo of Ms. Hoppy would be fun for all of us! ;)

[Laura's Babies]

One day I am going to get me a cannon!

[mustlovedogs]

Very nice picture! It is amazing! You must have a really nice camera. Great job taking the amazing picture, Paul! :D

[finn's mom]

Wow, that's a great picture for a close up even...it's brilliant considering how far you were!

[Logan]

What a terrific picture, Karen and Paul!! It looks like green lace all over his back!!!! :)

[Pawsitive Thinking]

Great picture - bring on Miss Hoppy!

LOL!

Great picture Karen!

[Argranade]

[shais_mom]

you'll love the S3 - having the S2 - I'm in love with. :)

Hee hee - that is the only turtle of the eight I saw that had the green stuff all over his shell. It covers parts of the marsh they were in, but any other turtle would probably have cleared a spot, or come up therough the green stuff vertically so a minimum of gunk got on his/her shell, but not this one. This was the "special" turtle! (The Karen turtle - I am well known for getting marker, pen, whatever - all over me and not noticing.)

   Here is a section of the photo at 100%:

[Pembroke_Corgi]

Wow! What a great photo.

[Paul]

[Dorothy39]

WOW!!!! She is looking right back at ME :eek:

H-E-L-L-O Miss Hoppy!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I see you TOO!!!!!!!! :D

Is her nose wiggling? ;)

That was great!!!! ;)

[Karen]

I love that the new camera is so good that you all can see her pretty lashes!

[zoomer]

Great picture! It's excellent! I have a cannon, too :D It looks... professional!

[Dorothy39]

I can't wait to see ALL of her. The dark markings on her face are striking!!
I did enjoy that close up of her lashes too!!! Aren't those digital pictures wonderful?

I can see every stand of her hair!!!! In detail!!!!! :eek:

It is as though I might even see my own reflection~~ in her eye! :eek:

[shais_mom]

wow
HI Miss Hoppy!
nice to see you!
the S2 is amazing so I can imagine how amazing the S3 is!

[cyber-sibes]

Hello, Miss Hoppy, how nice to see you! Wow, I can almost see my own reflection in her eye! Hey Mom, how about a little more of her pretty face showing in the next post? It's awfully hard to see her well in your avatar!

[*LabLoverKEB*]

:eek: That's a great, and extremly clear picture! What an amazing picture! I think I mught have to get a Canon PowerShot S3! After I research it a bit, of course. Sounds like a great camera!

[QueenScoopalot]

Not right now. Miss Hoppy is an only bunny.
KAREN & PAUL!!!!!!!!! I can change all that, and Miss Hoppy wouldn't even notice! Want two in love Red-earred sliders? Both rescues, and need a much bigger tank. Don't tell me you are allergic to turtles..it won't work lol! :p P.S. Remember..I'm a local, and delivery could be done in person. Get your tank setup, and make it huge....50 gallons would do for now! :D Great picture by the way! I'm amazed Paul got the shot at all as turtles are so fast to move at any hint of danger. :eek:

:D Theres that cutie!!!
She look like Tedd in some ways. Not that she looks like a boy but the colouring and her head

[Anita Cholaine]

Those ar SO good! :eek: After seeing so many pics on PT, I know I'll definitely get a Canon someday...

Congrats Paul and Karen, I'm sure you're having lots of fun with the new camera!

[kimlovescats]

WOW! I just bought the Canon Powershot S2 ... but I haven't learned how to do much with it yet. Will I be able to get shots LIKE THAT???? I hope so, that's why I spent the $$$ on it!!! :D

[Zany_girlie]

Wow what an amzing camera! Im jealous! Thats a really good picture!

[Chilli]

Amazing!! such detail and both pictures are wonderful captures.
We're getting either the S2 or S3 in October, and I can't wait. These pictures are making me really wish that October would come fast!

[Karen]

Great picture by the way! I'm amazed Paul got the shot at all as turtles are so fast to move at any hint of danger. :eek:

We were not close at all, that's what is so great about the camera! We were maybe 7 feet away, and on a boardwalk a couple feet above water level, but the camera has an amazing zoom lens.

[CatLuvrs]

Wow that is an awesome picture!
