Ordered the 7D on Tuesday afternoon from DWI and it arrived Friday Because OH doesn't know about it yet (cough), I've barely had time to rip it out of the box and certainly havent read the instructions Anyway, we had a promotion at Western Port Festival today - my first go with the new body. Only took the Sigma 70-200 with me, and although I tried to get out and about, we were so busy on our stand, that most of my first shots are of our greyhounds. the lovely Mavis Vessie with his carers daughter Venus I did manage to catch some flying motorbikes I will try and learn more during the week, but so far, I like it very much

We will be at the Westernport Festival tomorrow at Hastings - with lots of foster greys great pics BTW!

all gone now !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not "little" or "puppy" but you get the drift!

I look like a poodle at the moment - if you're stuck I have naturally curly hair and it badly needs "something".

No Bec, he was a long term foster - very very timid and I shed buckets when he went to his new home. But he is very happy and we keep in touch!

No, just a thick kennel coat - he did have a few races.

BLUE greyhound - about to fly away

I feel sick.

Can I ask how this would apply to greyhounds please? They are raised with their litter mates until they are in their teens, so play with each other and would think develop bite inhibition. Then they are trained to "bite on" - a lure, rabbit whatever. This is something they are encouraged to do, and instinctively do (well most of them anyway). They rip and tear at the "object" - biting hard. Then those that come through as pets, either have a very soft bite - towards humans. Some try to grab food, but can be taught easily not to bite your fingers off. Same with nail cutting - some can be reactionary but bite soft. Am I taking crap - ie. on a differnt subject, or am I making sense? annieK

Thankyou Anniek,that sounds exactly like it. Can you see the funny side of this ritual? Yes it's bloody funny - you try to explain to people but they just don't get it - then they see it and understand... and can't stopping looking and laughing

Sounds to me like trancing - our Phoebe does it under the ferns in the back yard - slow motion, tail out - she gets her jollies from the ferns tickling along her back.

Thats great Bec, I reckon you should tell Canon all about how your camera is fairly new and has broken and you are thinking about getting Nikon

sorry - just couldn't resist - friends again

Well if you have my camera, I can't use the lenses - so you might as well have them too!

WOOT WOOT

Oh no Bec - you poor thing - you must be devastated! You are welcome to my 400D and TWO sigma lenses if you need them - just don't let the kids near them with their sticky fingers Annie

and a shower cap :rolleyes:

that's exactly what I want - and exactly where I ordered from :rolleyes:

thanks - I've ordered a copy!

We have many greyhounds come in like that - just use Vit E cream - keep it in the fridge if you want it to be thicker so it goes/stays in/on a bit better

thanks Bec - as I thought - that's what stuffs me up - off shopping ...............................

Wonderful Bec, just wonderful. Would you mind sharing some of the settings please? ISO - f stop - speed. You do realise that prices are heading back up now, I suggest you buy it yourself on your credit card, then get the reimbursement for your birthday ps. my birthday is May too - must be why we are both so nice
