If you get a FNA done, the vet will take it out the back and look under the microscope. If it is just a fatty lipoma you will know straight away ;) If it does look nasty, they will probably talk to you about further options ;)

It shouldnt cost that much to just get a fine needle aspirate done If it is just a fatty lipoma, it should be able to be confirmed Will also save you wondering and stressing over it Edit: Just saw your above post... Even if you could borrow 100ish from a friend/relative that *should* be enough to get it checked out

Just a quick question.... I dont have a doggy but I would love to come down and practice some photography. Is this allowed? Can I get close enough to the track for some good photos? thanks!

Your dog looks perfect to me Im a veterinary nurse and the amount of clients that walk in with overweight dogs really makes me depressed I have decided to try and at least try and talk to clients about their dog's weight and it is working! Many do not realise their dog is overweight and I think sometimes it isnt really a big focus in consults with the vets. I am getting good results with one client in particular with a big fatty gorgeous cat (was over 8kgs, now down to almost 7kgs )

Working too

Nah I went Saturday, i was sure some of them were dol'er doggies

I loved watching the flyball but that was about the only highlight! I kept saying to my OH "I think that dog is from dol, and that one, and maybeee that one" his response was... "your a crazy dog stalking women"

What sort of photography are you wanting to do? Since I do alot of wildlife, long reach is fairly important If on the other hand, you will be doing more portraits etc, you'll want different lenses. I have a canon 500d and it is awesome so Im sure you will love the 50

Here you go, not very good but at least its not heaps red now Very cute puppy!

Churros! Thats it! Loving everyones photos

Thanks Rozzie, now I want to go get some of those thingies (*forget what they are called)

Took these today, I will never get sick of taking photos of ducks. So relaxing to just sit by the side of a lake and take photos

I think for the moment I am definately still practicing, I am almost at the point where I am confident I can get good photos every time I go out somewhere to photograph but not quite (still struggling with full sun ) Mainly at the moment I will be photographing for parents friends and my friends. I just want business cards to give to parents friends so they have a way of contacting me. One of them has even asked me to do their wedding which i promptly said "thanks but no thanks". Alot of them do think just because I have a DSLR that I will automatically get fantastic photos. They dont realise I have been practicing practicing practicing since I got it my dslr! I think i will look further into MOO because that looks fantastic and just what i want.

Thanks heaps for all the ideas, it is really appreciated. I loved the name Unleashed Photography as I think it suits my idea of photography very well (my fav shots are always doggies running/playing/'freedom'). I will definately have a look at Moo as well, thanks!

Dunnwarren dont feel bad about the money aspect of it all, you are getting the care required for your girl and im sure you will ensure she has a fantastic life for as long as you can

Have been really slack in posting but I have been taking photos most days, this is one from today at work. She is a gorgeous kelpie, hard to photo though.

Thanks for the input Possum, im actually looking at Vistaprint now and will most likely go with them, very cheap compared to all the other websites I have looked at. Thanks for your thoughts, have taken them onboard

Knuckles that is an awesome idea and I really like the idea of that. I will definately look into it, thanks!

Thanks guys, I was thinking the first one to for the same reason, I need to find a dog though I think to photograph and use on the business card as that is what I mainly want to photograph. Thanks

So I am still fairly new to photography, but I want to get more practice with other people/animals. I have designed two business cards to give out to people who might want photos taken of their pets/children. I wont be charging any money as I really am just after practice. Just wanted your thoughts on my designs! Now I am more looking after advice on the layout and the actual card, not what is written at this stage. Thanks!

I have been practicing alot to get action shots of animals and high shutter speed is a priority! My favourite action shot to date, the settings were - f - 5.6, shutter 1/500, iso - 1600. The lighting was dim and the animals very fast. It is just a matter of playing around with manual settings to find what works (and have a fast focusing lens!)

Im going to go I love going and seeing all the breed stalls. I hope they are still doing flyball as I love watching them

Have been trying to take a photo a day, but not doing to well. On the other hand, I took this shot at Melbourne Aquarium today and I am absoloutely stoked with it :

I absoloutely understand. My sister wanted a puppy, i offered to help her find a breeder. She said fine, then the next day calls me up telling me about her new puppy

Every time I see a photo of a lappie they move higher n higher on my list of possible doggies! Soooooooooo gorgeous
