There are a few labs at the agility club I go to, and with the food orientated mindset they do pretty well.

Always worth giving it a go for a few weeks and see how they go

And so it begins

I agree... terrible if it ends that way.

Good show and hopefully seen by many.

I've posted the web link to my FB account.... I suggest others do the same to make sure EVERYONE sees this.

Thanks for posting it up.

Hey guys,

I'd really like to get my Mum a proper macro lens, so I'm looking at the Sigma 105mm, the Tamron 90mm and the Tokina 100mm...I can't afford the Canon. Just wondering what the major differences are between the 3. Also, one of the Tokina ones has Pro D in the title and the other, for $100 less, doesn't...what does Pro D mean?

TIA!

Ooh a topic after my own heart... I've been looking into these too... For me it is a choice between the Sigma and the Tamron, but would need to get a sample first before the purchase as there are issues with AF mechanisms on the Sigma.

Both are meant to be razor sharp and very good Macro lenses. The 15mm further reach might be the decider for me on Sigma though

Tokina is one I'd stay away from (their flagship is the 12-24).

Mine thinks she is still a puppy & she is almost 2 now. :D

Can someone tell Aubrey this - she is 2 now and still as mad and active as when she was 6 months!

Oh no not another one.

Can I send a letter of disgust even though I am based in SA?

Can I order 4 of the medium sized for our 2 please

As an owner of a dog who will bark at kids purely as a warning system, if we see a parent come in with kids (under 4) we'll walk over and tell them that our dog will park, but just to get the kid to stand still and we'll distract the dog.

it is when the kids do things like cry and run that Aubrey will get a little bit anxious, but she is getting much better.

It is a dog park, if your kid is scared of dogs and will cry / run / shout etc then don't bring them in... it works both ways too!

Only in the USA!!

Mind you, I can understand when it is routine surgery.

Will have to keep an eye out now.

+1 from me as well for purchasing from DD-Electronics or DWI

I'll be going that way with my D700 very soon, with a MACK warranty

Looked like a fun game for some of the partcipants!

Taken far too early.... but free of pain now.

RIP little one

Happy Birthday Aubrey - hope you have been thoroughly spoiled today .

Unfortunately not really due to work etc, but she will be over the next few days

Token birthday shot with her best friend Some better PP required, but needed a shot for my 365

Thanks for all your birthday wishes

Today is Aubrey's 2nd birthday, and whilst my OH uses Aubrey's name to log in to DOL, Aubrey is often referred to as my dog, with Thomas sucking up to the OH more than me.

Whilst you were born on 22nd March 2008, you entered our lives on 10nd June 2008 and our worlds changed.

Both the OH and I had grown up with family pets, but we had never had our own dog. It was a huge decision for us, and one we are (most of the time) so glad we did.

2 years ago, if you would have asked me if I would be doing dog obedience, dog photography and dog agility, I would have laughed.... now they are all parts of my life.

For the photography, you are my muse. Always happy to pose for the camera... turning your head this way and that as I talk to you.

For the agility, you have shown me that with a roast chicken, almost anything is possible... this year maybe even a title!

For the obedience.... well we've still got a long way to go!

Over the past 2 years you have destroyed countless socks, toilet roll tubes and a sofa, we've removed all the flowers from the garden and replaced them with river rock and we now need to repaint the walls where you scratch away to get past the dog gate when we come home, but I wouldn't change you for the world!

The best bit though is your idea that as soon as I wake up and say hello its your invite to clean my face

Aubrey.... my little :D dog princess

Take a look at Photographic Wholesalers.... They do hands on training events now and again for flash photography and using your Canon.

The Adelaide Camera Club are doing a photoshoot later on this month which is "available and low light" so come along to the meeting on Tuesday or come to the shoot in 10 days I'll be using it to learn more on my SB-900

Oh yeah... that reminds me... doh!

Haven't uploaded any of them yet... but I did use this one for my 365

Oh no... another one taken too soon.

Aubrey is worse than Thomas when she is asleep... her eyes show mostly white as she enters REM and then it is as if she is running and barking at people or other dogs. OH and I joke about it when we see it, but we often make sure she is ok and give her a little rub to gently wake her if it gets a bit much.

RIP and be free of pain.

Congratulations.... so adorable.

I am sure he'll be back to himself in no time and be able to warm the hearts of everyone who meets him.

Saturday for us for the Mini Schnauzers.... and then we'll see how Aubrey is doing in trials and when the trial date for agility is at the show for that one

RIP Tara... such a beautiful girl.

5 stars is the best.

I guess they'll do a combination of the number of votes and the top score... who knows!

Best to vote 5 stars (if you deem it that good!)

Thanks

Had a lot of fun yesterday and took some photos at the Clipsal 500 - no CAMS pass so stuck behind the grills.

They are running an image competition, so please vote for my photos that are on there

A Garth Tander photo will appear there soon too, so keep an eye out for that

Thanks all
