Here's the inside of my bike helmet after the crash I was in yesterday. I added the arrows to point out the extent of the fracture. I didn't even know I'd hit my head - these things really do work!

Not a great shot or light, but it's the inaugural test of the new EF 600mm f/4L IS II. From a quick test the lens seems quite nice with impressive IS and focus speed. Any extended period of handheld shooting is going to require some weight training though. Taking it out in the field once the LensCoat arrives and clouds and rain depart.

Nice shot, how are you liking the Nex-6?
Never mind your head, how did the bike fare?

Do I really need a car
Difficult choice. With the addition of bean bag mounts cars can become useful lens accessories.
Doesn't do the lens or bird justice.
Nice work on the Indian shots in this and last month's threads.

Thanks guys. I'm obviously learning how to use the nex 6. I'm VERY new to basic concepts of photography. I thought about cropping this image but I liked the people in the background. It was a family reunion of sorts after all.
As for the nex 6, I'm really liking it. It is very well built. The dials, buttons, etc are very intuitive and are simply solid. The kit lens is very meh but I knew that going in. It is capable but that's it. I like using my wife's old canon FD 70-200mm lens. But being completely manual, it isn't good for family functions. It is also way too long. I'd love to get a modern e mount lens with a similar zoom range but with stabilization and auto focus. Plus the new ones are lighter and shorter. Alas, $1000 for a lens just isn't in the cards right now.
One day I'll grab some shots like some of the ones in here. I appreciate everyone sharing their pics, experience, and what not.
Now to decide on raw vs. Jpeg.

The bike's fine! The rear derailleur hanger bent; the stem came our of alignment; handlebars and tape got scuffed; and top tube has an ever-so-small dent on it now. Everything was simple enough to fix; I went out for a 20 mile spin this evening and everything seems fine.
Me, and my bike, were exceedingly fortunate.

Ah good, does sound like you were lucky to avoid anything serious. It doesn't take much at those speeds to ruin some metal, CF, flesh, or bone.
Definitely start a lens savings account if you keep using the camera. It's actually good to hold off on purchases until you get an idea of what best suits your style. Whether it's a tele zoom, wide zoom, super zoom, macro prime, or fast prime, you'll probably add several to the stable eventually.
I'm a fan of RAW and have shot exclusively in it for over a decade. The decision depends on your desired workflow and style. If you prefer snap and post then go JPEG and let the camera do all the processing for you. If you ever want to do any post processing then go RAW+JPEG or RAW. From reviews it looks like the NEX-6's in-camera processing is decent, but Lightroom still offers superior lossless adjustment tools and flexibility.
RAW adjustments depend on the camera, camera settings, lens, and scene. With the NEX-6 and kit lens you'll typically need to look at sharpening, lens correction, noise reduction, and color correction. Once you're familiarized with Lightroom manual adjustments won't take long.
