Yep, I agree with Vickie. Was any part at all in focus? When you focussed on the dogs nose, was that in focus but everything else blurred, cause that's what you'd expect if you had it set on 1.8. If you like that effect but want to see the dogs eyes, focus on them instead. Then the eyes will be clear and sharp and everything else soft. Another thing you can do is take a side on shot of your dogs head, or get a little bit further back. Post some results too. Dont be disheartened I am sure you will get to love it.

where does it tell you Pers? When I went to that link it just showed the pics.

"dreamy pastels" is a good way of describing it.

Nup, I got a card today telling me I had a parcel at the PO and got all excited but it was something else.

Now this is interesting! DWI the 50D is currently cheaper than the 550D! 50D $819 http://www.dwidigitalcameras.com.au/store/...?idProduct=1785 550D $855 http://www.dwidigitalcameras.com.au/store/...?idProduct=2443

that's a good pic, you should see if you can clone out the eye booger though.

great photos, and I think I recognise the famous Biscuit they agility greyhound.

Came back to look at your photo again Annie, just cause I like it so much. As Huga said, great composition, this is a good example of the rule of thirds. I also love the way the person in the distance is looking back, even though they're out of focus they are still involved in the scene.

ditto, love it!

What a gorgeous bubba and a lovely photo, has the mum seen it yet and if so, is she delighted with it? Bet she is.

they're very pretty and feminine aren't they.

I wonder if it's worth checking with Canon to see if they will cover these lenses under warranty. I would think they'd be able to tell you. As we know ebay sellers aren't always honest but it's one way of knowing for sure before you commit to it.

I bought my 50mm from Kirks in Ringwood, before I knew about online sellers. I did have a problem with the lens and it went back to Canon twice. I paid almost $600 for it in Dec 08 though

Wow! no need to thank me but I think they'll be thanking YOU! The photos alone are enough to make me want those adorable puppies. I hope it helps them find their forever loving homes. Well done Bec.

listed in Market place but in case you dont visit there: http://www.dolforums.com.au/index.php?showtopic=204863

I had something go wrong with my 50mm and I posted it to Canon in Sydney.

This is exactly the same lens from another online seller. http://www.dwidigitalcameras.com.au/store/...sp?idProduct=62 $382.00

I wonder if he rolls in dead things.

wondering about the 40Ds. they've been around for a while now. Do you think any coming up for sale might have been a bit too used?

They're such cute little birds, they always look cross eyed to me. Persephone, you should love this months challenge, you often do sets like this dont you.

Yep, I remember when the wolf man was on, might have been 60 minutes. He had a girlfriend back then, I wonder if she is still around or was it all too much.

Happy Birthday you big puppy!

that's odd, I am sure I've posted links to this forum before like this. sorry.

Hang on, haven't you only just bought it yourself?? or was it just a new lens you got.
