Kirislin Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 (edited) Another action and portrait photo opportunity coming up. Our next whippet fun day will be held Saturday November 20th from about 11am to usually around 2ish, just depends how many people want to keep running their whippets. Here's some examples of shots taken in the past. All these photos were taken by Pete Hulks, not me. Thanks Pete Edited October 18, 2010 by Kirislin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirislin Posted October 19, 2010 Author Share Posted October 19, 2010 Pete took those with his Canon 40D and a massive 400mm f2.8 lens that costs a fortune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdierikx Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 *giggle* Imagine the conversation... Kirislin: "hey Pete, I've got a woman here who wants to trade her tits for your 400m lens" Pete: "ummmm..." Kirislin: "what do you think?" Pete: "I'm leaving now" (while backing off from the crazy lady relaying a message from another crazy lady) I only have 2 lenses - the standard 18-55m IS lens that came with the camera, and a 55-250m IS lens that set me back around $300. And my camera is an EOS 450D. I don't even know how to use the manual functions on the thing... *grin* T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted October 19, 2010 Author Share Posted October 19, 2010 Hahaha, I think your version of his reaction would be about right. Ok as to your camera, just start using it. You dont have to have it in manual if you're not ready. Most people start in auto, then move to a semi manual control such as AV or TV to get an understanding of what they do. Reading helps too, I bought Understanding Exposure off a DOLer. I still haven't read it cover to cover though. Your camera and lenses are better than the ones I started with, you can get good zoom pics with the 55-250. My longest lens now is only 200mm so get out and start clicking.

tdierikx Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 (edited) I've actually got the "Idiot's Guide to the Canon 450D" - but I haven't actually had enough time to really sit down and have a good play with it... I'm having quite a bit of success taking photos on the auto settings on my camera, and I have a penchant for using the 55-250mm lens. It lets me get back from the subject and snap them doing the things they do naturally - a must when trying to photograph rescue dogs... lol! T.

tdierikx Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 I love my 55-250mm IS lens Mason2009 - it's within most christmas budgets at around the $300 mark, and does take some very nice photos... I'd love a USM lens...one day... and a longer zoom one... and a nice Macro one... *grin* T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunnyflower Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Beautiful photos. I have to ask though, this may be a silly question - but why do Whippets have to wear the metal muzzles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evolving Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 I am really going to try and come to this one I may even bring a Lappie to see how you can really run quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
