Check these out. These are cameraphone pix, so they’re not that great, but it gives you an idea of the view I have

You can see the shiny bean, and the Frank Gehry-designed Jay Pritzker Pavilion in addition to the southern Chicago coastline!

Anybody have any idea what kind of lens (or lens filter) can get me this kind of saturation for my Canon DSLR? I love it:

I've been talking to for a couple days now and was thinking about maybe getting a dSLR camera for taking around town with me.

A little known fact is that I had about 3yrs of photography classes in high school and always enjoyed the medium. Back then, however, I had to use an old black and white pentax and develop my own film and photos myself. God, I wish I had one of those old pentax cameras, but I doubt you can even find them anymore, and then there's the whole expensive/cancer-causing developer liquids and photo exposure equipment to get a hold of.

Anyway, I was talking to Dan, and he recommended the following camera: Canon EOS 400d/ Digital Rebel XTi

Nice camera…kinda pricey tho. Anyone have leads into wholesale prices? Anyway, I'll think about it some more. It just would be nice to have it handy
