Jack...Im still a novice at it but I got the D60 so I could take advantage of some of my bike trips. So many opportunities for great shots and all were being missed. I carry a monopod, tripod, and my camera bag in one of my hard bags when Im riding and have the room.
I have a 18-55 and 70-300 and am thinking for space I should probably look into the 18-200 lens for the sake of convenience.
Maybe we should start a picture thread to discuss picture taking tips.

Anyway...heres a link to my hack pics
