He always looks like such a happy boy :D Lovely captures Pers :)

lol, it is super cute :laugh: and crazy wide shots! Is it waterproof, just wondered going by a couple of the pics on the site? Looking forward to seeing yours and Snook's photos :)

If you're looking for subject isolation and great bokeh, just go macro :laugh:

21 Sounds like you had a lovely day, belated birthday wishes to you, and to MG too btw I still need to respond to your last email RS, sorry completely forgot!

Raineth - gorgeous eye on your pooch! In Lightroom you can do some basic spot removal/cloning, not to the extent of PS but it can work well if you play with it a bit :) http://xposurepro.com/lightroom/lightroom-tutorials/spot-healing-in-lightroom-4

Whereabouts in Osborne park is it? And do they sell animals as I won't go there if they do. have a great time you two, best of luck Ness so sorry to hear you're still having issues with Kenz, I really hope you get a good result in the end with her

Really nice Vickie :D I've got a similar idea in my head too, but just waiting for the cat to comply :laugh: Great shots all :) I'm hopefully having a bit of a bush walk with my two this weekend, so will get some shutter priority practice in, and maybe even some in AV mode if anyone stays still enough for a portrait :laugh:

Wow sounds like far too much hard work for me :laugh: but I look forward to seeing the shots :D

Wow love Electric Christmas and all the 'snow'

Omar is beautiful, I'm a sucker for a lovely tabby :D Great shots too, looks like you'll soon be flying with you new camera

Just gorgeous Kaffy I've always loved seeing pics of Chase and your girl is lovely too :D

Thanks everyone :D Cheers tlc :) These were all taken with my new Sigma f2.8 70-200mm. The Lemur and Gibbon are heavy crops as they were on islands in the middle of a lake, so I was pretty pleased with the quality from this lens :) I do have the Sigma 17-70mm as well and find it a very versatile lens. kja - thanks for the tip, I pretty much suck at B&W so use presets and tweek. I've said before I need to start a thread in the Hints section about B&W advice - I'll try and do that tonight as I'm not improving :laugh:

Took myself of to Perth Zoo on Friday while waiting for my car to be serviced. Had a relaxing few hours wandering around and took a few pics. C&C welcome :) Highlights were the African Painted Dog puppies, the Meerkats and the Tree Kangaroos :D Full set here :) http://flic.kr/s/aHsjAZHp9C

Yay congrats tlc :D Funny enough the shutter noise was the first thing I noticed too, especially after my 350D - I thought it sounded like an machine gun in burst mode :laugh: but soon got use to it :)

How about Natures Gift if thinking of tinned. I gave it to mine (who were used to a totally raw diet) when they were in quarantine, they did very well on it for the 30 days, I still have it as a back up for when I forget to defrost. http://www.naturesgift.com.au/ Poor boy, hope he feels better soon

My regular is Claremont Vet Clinic and I have found their service to be wonderful :) Of course if it is a real emergency or out of hours, you have Perth Vet Emergency on your doorstop in Osbourne Park. They saved my Daisy's life after a very serious chocolate poisoning http://www.pve.net.au/services.html

I'm not familiar with that camera I'm afraid, but the best thing you can do is to go out and play with it - change the settings and see how that is reflected in your pics :D That's the beauty of digital, nothing wasted except your time :) I look forward to seeing some photos :D

Thanks kja, just got myself a 1m canvas I rarely print my stuff, so might as well go in the deep end :laugh: I think I'll be asking for advice soon as to what will work that big :D

Big Dog BARF patties? How big is the dog? Mine are only small so the cost isn't too horrendous and they love them :) http://www.bigdogpetfoods.com.au/products/barf-8

OMG too gorgeous! :D Love the markings as well :)

How wonderfull K9 :D I love seeing the Carnaby Cockatoos round here too. What's the 'official' name of these ones as they look similar, but I think the Carnaby is only found in SW WA?

Lovely to see some new shots of your feline gang - beautiful :D

That's lovely, so pretty pers :)

What a gorgeous horses and really lovely photos gapvic :D Hope she has settled in well by now :)

What a fantastic experience! and some beautiful photos to remember it by :D
