Some sort of Butterfly sitting on an orchid. Taken at Blijdorp Zoo with an old 28-80 zoom. Not bad considering the lens I was using.
Here's how I did it:

Camera: Nikon D50
Exposure: 0.003 sec (1/320)
Aperture: f/5.6
Focal Length: 80 mm
Exposure Bias: 0/6 EV
ISO Speed: 800

I've taken a week vacation. The kids also don't have to go to school so we've got the time to do fun things with the kids. And I got time to try out my new D50!
I'm also skipping class this week so that means a lot of reading next week to catch up. I get the feeling 70-294 may me more difficult than it seems at first.

Petunia shot with my new Nikon D50. I think this one really shows of the macro capabilities of the kit lens and the colors this camera is capable of.
