Ooh! That's beautiful. What kind of zoom do you have?

Thanks! It's just the built-in lens of a Canon Powershot S5 IS, with 12x optical zoom -- a lot better than the 3x on my little Sony. I'm still finding my way around it, but I'm quite pleased with what it can do already!

Very nice. I like the quality of the picture - it's pin sharp, and the colours come out wll. Great composition, too.

Thank you!
