Love this one

May date announced ... Sun 31st

It probably isn't movement blur at 1/400, just a really shallow DOF. Maybe try using your Speedlite for more light

Is there a new trend in people worrying about their dog's bum looking big in pictures? What settings were you using, shutter speed and ISO?

Here ya go TN :p

Not sure TN, I've sent an email to the organiser and asked her. I'll let you know if I hear back :D

The next one is in about 4 weeks. I'll post the date in this thread when I receive the email from the list. If you want to join the yahoo list, do a search for Sydney Lure Coursing on Yahoo Groups. Did you have any specific questions? I might be able to answer them for you :D

I get all my stuff from there, always the cheapest and never had any problems. Congrats on the new camera (even if it is a Nikon ). Looking forward to Diesel pics!

... deleted, irrelevant now, pertaining to April date only ...

2009 Lure Coursing Fun Days Sunday 19 April Sunday 31 May Sunday 5 July Sunday 16 August Bill Spilstead Complex for Canine Affairs, Erskine Park Lure coursing is a performance event developed in the early 70's by sighthound fanciers who hunted jackrabbits in the open field, which risked the harm caused by barbed wire fencing. They invented lure coursing as a safer, more controlled sport for sighthounds that would recreate the physical requirements of open field coursing, allowing them to continue testing the functional abilities of their sighthounds. Lure coursing aims to preserve and develop the coursing skills inherent in the sighthounds and to demonstrate that they can perform the functions for which they were originally bred. The hounds chase plastic bags on a course laid out to simulate escaping game. The plastic bags are pulled around on a nylon string course, propelled by a hand controlled motor. Who – The day is being run buy the Afghan Hound Club of NSW and all people and all breeds are welcome! What – The cost will be $4 for the first run $3 subsequent runs. Your dog can run with another or by himself. Where - behind the Jack Russell Area, at the Bill Spilstead Complex for Canine Affairs, 44 Luddenham Road Erskine Park. When – 12 noon Things you'll need… Strong collar and lead Water bowl Poop bags Money for entry Sensible footwear What ever will help you catch your dog after their run eg. Squeaky toy, food, tug toy, ability to beg Some thing for shade- hat umbrella, shade tent There's a Yahoo Group if anyone wants to sign up to receive updates, it's called Sydney Lure Coursing. --- Map here http://www.dogsnsw.org.au/upload/images/map.jpg --- Directions: Pull into the complex Road goes to the left, follow to the end , past the buildings and you'll come to a T section turn right, you should be looking at a toilet block about 100m ahead Turn left at the toilet block You should see a white fence and gate in front of you about 100 metres go through the gate vere to the right and you'll see another gate and drive through there and that's where it is.

I figured as much

I managed to bring some home on both shoes!

Is that pooh?

Ooh ooh ooh, pick me, pick me! TV is Shutter prioriy and AV is Aperture priority. Use TV if you want to maintain a constant shutter speed and let the camera determine the aperture [if you want 1/1000 to freeze fast moving Staffys!]. Use AV for the opposite [like setting it at f2.8 for creamy bokeh!]. HTH

At the rate I'm going you'll be waiting a while!

Thanks everyone

Ok, ok, I get it! Hey, you're pretty generous kja!

He didn't ask, it was just mentioned that maybe if I offered it might work in my favour. The person hasn't even been approached yet!

Ok, thanks, I didn't think of that as an option.

I've been asking people can I photograph their dogs for my portfolio. Someone just asked [in order to butter up the person they were asking on my behalf!] if they'd get the files in return. I said: Is that fair? What would you offer/expect?

I didn't know that ... better read the manual! Thanks!
