I want to go on a trip to a beatiful tropical beach where there are no crowds, but hopefully lots of wonderful animals and scenery!

I live in sheffield and am not wanting to travel abroad

...take professional quality pictures of people, animals, and scenery. I want to be able to manually focus on my subject and have the background "blured out". I was thinking of a Canon Rebel XTi with a 18-55mm and a 55-200mm lens. Or would just the 18-55 cover it? Or my other choice was a Casio Exilim Pro EX-F1. Which would be better? Thanks. For the kinds of pictures I want to take would the 18-55mm lens cover it? Or would it be best if I got an additional lens. (If any pro's can help me out with some choices feel free to msg me on YIM - Vilandra485) Thanks!

i like to paint animals and scenery, but lately have been into fantasy. i paint dragons. never went to school just something i do. i have a few i still want to sell and i can take special orders from people who want me to paint one for them, but i just need to know the best place, a nice place to advertise.
