That's great perhaps I'll wait and see how you go and then decide. I have a friend in the US who has been trying to talk me into getting a flash, he said it will help immensely. He is an awesome photographer and really knows his stuff so I'm considering it. Wish photography wasn't such an expensive sport. :laugh: I also meant to add my friend mentioned this brand when first explaining to me about how to use a flash the right way. He said they are a great flash for a good/not to exxy price. I've only just learnt how to use the flash compensation in the quick menu, didn't even know you could do that! :laugh:

I just seen this on Facebook. Love it!

Oh thats excellent and thanks for adding the settings. Did you decide on a flash, I want to get one too and am looking at a 580 exii but a friend told me that ones you mentioned in your other thread are quite good for the price. So I am still thinking about it. I am hoping to get the 70 -200 f4 Probly not for xmas but hopefully not long after, i have been tossing up between the 85mm and the 70 - 200 so I hope I have made the right decision!

Awesome shots, would you mind sharing the settings you used? Did you decide on your new lens?

So a conversation earlier on facebook and a few days ago prompted this thread, I would like to get a camera strap that goes over your shoulder for ease of having the camera hanging one minute and being a ble to shoot the next but without having a camera around my neck, My camera is heavy and with a bad back and neck I think a strap would be awesome, only think is I haven't got a clue which one. Monet & Divas mum has a double Black Rapid and she said it is awesome. I would prefer just one strap> I am liking one but am open to suggestions if anyone has any to offer. One of my facebook friends has a take off of a black rapid he got it off ebay and said its great. If anyone has pictures that would be awesome too. :)

Oh Alkhe, your little foster is a cutie! I jinxed myself posting in here, I have had presents under my tree and the tree up for a week and the dogs have shown no interest, this thread reminded me I had to decorate it, and I had 4 little helpers. :laugh:

I have the tree on the coffee table and presents all around it, even chocolates wrapped up. Have done the same for the last 5 years with my lot, they never touch anything. They stay inside for 5 hours at a time during the week while I am at work.

Great shots guys! I took lots of photos today, we had our Xmas Dog Obedience break up, but I managed to narrow it down to two. These were taken with the 40mm Pancake, fabulous little lens, I love it!

Have I missed something here? My comment was in relation to quoted comments which were on the previous page.

I want it for $0 :laugh: I was going to click buy, but there is no buy option.

Awww Piper your puppies are so cute, they do look worn out in that shot! :laugh:

Hadn't had anything for this thread for a while, thought these fitted the bill. and this one just because I loved it.

Day 15, so hard to pick a favorite today!

So cute, the pugs look adorable with Santa! CC your two look totally pissed, I love it!! :laugh:

Great shots, happy Birthday beautiful boy!!

Another one!

So cute, love it! Lacy with buddy Mawson at the Hospital Yesterday.

Thought I'd pop a couple more in here, This is my cat Holly, I snapped these in my office, no light on and it was very dull, I have tweaked the exposure in LR to make them a little lighter. iso was 3200 f2.8 1/40 100 Macro lens

I am yet to find a lady bug! CC, I think the trouble was as I was so close the eye (tentacle things) were on a different focal plane to the rest of the snail so had difficulty getting both in focus, when I used a smaller aperture to get more in focus I think there just wasn't enough light to cope with it. I will have to have another go with better light, I have never seen so many snails in our yard after yesterday rain, but just left my run to late to get some better shots.

Gorgeous CM, love the first one especially!!

Whoop Whoop, thats great, hoping for a nicer day Sunday, not to hot and not to cold, please and thanks! Jess we don't start back to training till 20th Jan, but maybe we could organize a dog walk sometime before that? Jj would a sunday arvo suit you? I'm sure Shannon would love to come too. Maybe we could get the old crew back together again, we haven't had a catch up for ages!

RV, love the sun set! Ping, I have a hankering for cup cakes now, so colourful!! My first go at water drops, the best tow out of heaps, hope I get better! :laugh: And one of two of the dogs looking very sad due to rain. :laugh:

Thanks for adding the exif, I think I had mine on to slow a shutter at 1/60 I have been using full manual lately and I'm making myself do it and I am learning heaps. here is some of the ones I took, there pretty bad but the best of what I took.

Fantastic shots, I was hoping someone would post some. The problem I had was I just couldn't get the camera to focus on the bit that has the eye in it, I don't even know what it is called. It was late and the light was aweful but even with the flash on some shots there wasn't one I liked! I'll post some later and you can see what I mean.
