Don't sell yourself short Kristin... your work is sublime... T.

Kirislin - I played about with all sorts of sliders... on different tabs too... *grin* How do you check where your focus point was in DPP? Maybe I should read the manual for it to find out what I can actually do with it, yes? I was just fiddling about really... persephone - all of the flowers (except the one you liked) are my neighbour's flowers. The one you liked is actually on a weed "tree" thing in my yard... and that is what it did in response to being poisoned - bloody thing decided to flower rather than die... lol! And that one was actually the one that wobbled in the wind the most.. *sigh* I have a Tamron 18-270mm lens on this 60D - and for the life of me I can't work out how to adjust the focus on it - it has a 9 point system, and I'd rather some less if possible... I have a total of 3 lenses here - a Canon EF-S 18-55mm IS with broken AF (manual works though), a Canon EF-S 55-250 IS, and the Tamron 18-270mm DiII VC PZD. I should really test all of them on the 60D to see what I favour the most for different "jobs", yes? Maybe when I have some money, I can get a nice Macro lens too... T.

Please do post it Ella... Oh - and awesome job you and Digby are doing with the boys... you be da bomb!! T.

Good luck today Cookie! T.

Lily and Frodo are Ugg boot killers... lol! T.

Noice!! Me likes!! T.

Haha @ MM! You really need to train your mum better... lol! T.

Babies have been enjoying the delights of my back yard today... Bilbo Frodo Lily Peaches Daisy Fun shots... T.

I'm completely speechless... jaw droppingly so... Awesome stuff kja! T.

Hmmm... thinking I may need to either get better at pointing the camera, or find out exactly how to work this DPP software... Here's what I have so far... The only one I'm even vaguely happy with is the first pic... T.

Has the vet done abdominal x-rays or ultrasounds to eliminate the possibility that Buddy may have eaten something he shouldn't have? Blood tests to rule out things like Pancreatitis or the like? Fecal samples should be done more than once to completely rule out some bugs like Giardia... T.

Me likes!! T.

OK - I think I have this computer set up enough to load the Canon DPP stuff now... Wish me luck... T.

Finally have my spare computer back - and up and running nicely with the 23" screen... just have a few little adjustments to do and will be all good to set up the Canon software and see what transpires with my various pics taken in RAW (first time using RAW) today... For tonight I think I'll just load up the latest AV program then call it a night... *yawn* Tomorrow I can play... yay! T.

My friend rang me back - she's swinging by here soon and we are going to buy her a new computer so I can have my old one back... yay!!! T.

Just rang my friend - she's out and won't be home until later. But she will feed me tonight and I'll swap her this laptop for my decent PC. she only uses the computer for email and netbanking, and the lappy will do that for her just fine. I just don't want to leave her without a computer... T.

So much for building one working computer... all of the dud ones here seem to have the same issue... faulty motherboards... *sigh* Looks like I'm going to have to get my one working spare PC back from the friend who "borrowed" it last year... T.

This?? http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/consumer.shtm T.

Did he pick his own hat? Great sense of style there... lol! T.

This crappy lappy is giving me the poops... screen res 1024x768 max... grrr! Not happy when I've gotten used to a 23" screen with 1980 res... and can't attach the big screen to the lappy because it has a digital cable and the lappy has an analog connection - and no analog cable to be found (I searched everywhere)... Loaded up the Canon software (DPP etc), upgraded DPP to latest, etc... still can't really tell what is going on when looking at this crappy screen... even when playing with the HDR functions. Everything looks crap... *sob* Going to go get all of the dead PC's here and see if I can build one decent working one. Not a good look for a PC tech to have no decent PC... *grin* Might even lug over the old 19" analog screen to add to whatever PC I get working - even more screen space... yeah! T.

No macro lens sadly... but all the other suggestions are brilliant... keep them coming! T.

Seeing as my car is in dire need of some serious attention from my mechanic, and he can't fit it in until next Wednesday... I'm stranded at home this weekend... My primary computer is also dead, my backup computer is on loan to a friend, and I'm reduced to using my old and crappy lappy with no decent software on it to do anything fancy... grrr! I do have my Canon cd's though, so can load up that software if needed. Thinking about maybe doing some exploring of my camera(s) - 450D and 60D - rather than lying on the couch watching TV and wallowing in my own self pity... *grin* What I find hard is getting started - so any ideas from you wonderful people would be great. The weather is supposed to be sunny but windy here tomorrow, and Sunday will be showery... *sigh* Please give me some ideas... please... T.

Love them all! I can see why she was thrilled... Nice job! T.

Thanks for clarifying Stormie... I'm not terribly au fait with cats and their diseases, so I'd done a quick Google search on FIP before I made my reply. It does seem that the general concensus on FIP is that it's a constant decline, rather than ups and downs though... T.

Removal of breeding ability (in dogs) isn't going to stop people allowing their dogs to run loose and create carnage... What may work better is harsher penalties for the owners of animals that do what happened to Ms Southam - stiff fines and/or jail time for the owners of the dog in question might be a better method of deterrent IMHO.
