I've been having so much fun playing with my new camera (Panasonic G2) and figured I'd give making a shutterfly photo book a try. Here it is: http://share.shutterfly.com/action/welcome?sid=0AcuWTly0ZNmboY

What a cool book you made Lauri....gorgeous nature photos! I've made several of those shutterfly books and they're sure nice.

Thanks! I know I can't compete with the lens lads but I'm having fun.

Wow, I love those bird shots! Especiallly the pelican diving. Love the way you grouped the photos, this has given me some ideas.
Have you got a printed copy of it yet? I'm curious about the quality of the product, since I've got a freebie from tripadvisor right now.

Wendy, I did get a copy of the book (it was a tripadvisor freebie too) and I'm very happy with the quality. The site is pretty easy to use, you can either let them do most of the arranging, use a ready made theme or completely customize it. That's what I did and how I used my photos as background for the other images. It's really fun to play with.

Thanks Lauri, I've almost finished my book, just checking spelling and layout. I haven't done anything fancy yet like using photos as background, but perhaps I'll try that. I have to finish it up in the next couple of days.

Lauri, Very nice. I told you I liked my G1, and I'm sure I'd love a G2 even more. I've thought for a long time that Panasonic cameras seem to fly under the radar.

I certainly owe you many thanks for pointing me in the direction of the G2 Eugene. It does everything I want it to, has loads of great features and isn't too huge.

I just bought a new "big girl" camera after being humiliated on Roar 3. Had a tiny point and shoot, about 2 steps about the old kodaks with the cube flash on top :D
Now I will be clicking away...not nearly as impressive as Lauri, but have some nice shots of the landscaping and of course the grand dogs!
Beautifully done Lauri!

HAD to laugh about the old Kodak with the cube flash! I remember it well! And HOW many years ago was that? (I don't even want to think about it!)
Beautiful pix, Lauri!
