I have been bad! Got busy/slack early in the week... But I have been taking photos most days, trying a few new editing things out, and taking some (not many) non-dog photos!

5/28 - Snapped out the car window, pretty!

7/28 - Generic mountain shot, might play with this a little more... Looks a bit bland!

8/28 - My friend's dog before his track at the trial yesterday. I don't 'do' black & white often, but I like this one!

All of my photos are handheld Roova... I've built some nice biceps from holding the camera and big lens up for hours taking photos. I don't think of it as very heavy nowadays... but I really notice the difference if I put the shorter lens on - it all feels so light then!

After the first day i went out with the 100-400mm lens, my hands and arms siezed up due to the strain I'd put on them by shooting handheld with 2kg of equipment - but I went out the next day and spent another fair few hours telling them they were going to handle it... never had an issue since.

I prefer handheld because it gives me many more options where and how I point the camera - especially if the subject it moving about...

Wow! You've got an especially steady hand then. I guess there's no panning with a tripod which would make capturing a bird in flight a bit difficult :D I've often wondered if a monopod would be handy, even just to help with weight bearing at times?

You really do just get used to the weight Roova... and it just seems normal after a while... *grin*
