S. Saqib Shams-II - your D3000 is bit of an upgrade from my old D40! The D40 was replaced by Nikon with the D60, then the D60 was replaced by the D3000 so my trusty D40 was a couple generations back! I have a D90 that I cart around a bit but the D40 gets used a lot too. Sometimes more than the D90 as I have the battery grip and 18-105 lens on the D90 so it is a bit heavier.

The 300mm pic was taken with the Nikon 70-300mm VR lens. It has the Image Stabilization as you noted and is a great addition to my collection. I really like it and am glad that it worked out as I bought it used online. I didn't have the funds for new and KEH had a good deal on a used rated LN- (Like New Minus) for only about 60% the cost of new. It has no scuffs, marks, wear at all, looks new to me and best of all it is working good so far!

I took this shot with my latest toy, a Samyang 14mm UWA lens (couldn't justify the price for the Nikon offerings since its not a focal length I use very much). Its got its pluses and minuses, but overall I am very happy with it! I may do a more in-depth review later if anyone is curious.

The only thing about this one is that the sky is blown out (all white, no detail) but if you were to have the sky have detail then the trees would have been a lot darker then they are, and the only way to fix that is to shot a HDR photo.

Agreed. I think K1W1 has done a very nice job while fixing it.
