She is just beautiful Gayle and so photogenic too! Princess sounds like an awesome job for her!

My first panning shot with my new camera....Diva zooming around the backyard!

Okay day 2 of new camera. 1000 photos taken! Here's some more ZOOMIES, Czar collage A meditating Monet Benson Benson sick of being the lure And to prove I don't just take pics of the dogs... Thoughts? MnDM

Thanks guys! Snook love your photos and also want to know how you do it! Pixie I love your photo! Adonys loves his mummy!

Okaaay, so now I'm wishing I hadn't stumbled in here! Those of you with medium porteen gear bags, can you keep your 70-200mm lens attached to the camera body? I'm wanting a bag that doesn't scream 'camera bag' to hold my canon 7D with the 70-200mm lens on, and space for 50mm and phone, keys etc. Those porteen ones look awesome and more like a handbag. Not that I use a handbag. Looking forward to responses. MnDM

So cute!

Okay! Week 2/52 - Diva (taken with my brand new 7D All the photos are just gorgeous this week!

Okay, so I've been playing this afternoon.... Here's some photos I took! What do you think? Squeak - our shy tabby... This is the first ever decent photo taken in her 10yrs of life! Benson and his obsession with buckets! Diva and Monet ... ZOOMIES! Diva Czar - my beautiful Birman boy Diva and Monet - smackdown

That is so cool! The kangaroo hopping when they come out of the boxes and I always thought both their front feet hit the ground at the same time...

;) it was TOLL who delivered and on Kogan website it states they have to be signed for! have sent a complaint! Now that would be greedy Linda ;) Good news is my 70-200mm lens is due to be delivered today! I just need to get a CF card, I ordered one but it hasn't shipped yet and I wanna play! But a quick muck around last night I was very impressed with the nifty 50, such clear photos in poor lighting!

Well.... Waiting on my front doorstep when I just got home... My canon 7D camera body! The battery pack is currently charging! So excited! But a little concerned it was left on my doorstep though!

Close... It's a snow leopard!

Well, my lens is on it's way! Am hoping the camera arrives this week too.... Otherwise this could be awkward, a lens and no camera to use it with! getting excited now!

Is this a hare? Great pics everyone! A great thread to lurk in... :D Nope not a hare..... Here's a hint! If you look at the eye you see the reflection of the bars... The eye of a captive wild animal! MnDM

Gorgeous photo GregW! Who is the pooch?

My week 2 photo in the theme Animals - Domestic, Exotic and Native Can you guess the animal... I'll post a bigger photo if you guess it ;) or at least try! Sorry for the quality, again taken on camera phone! 2/52 - Eye Spy!? MnDM

Okay week 2... So far I only have two of the dogs sorted... 1 more still to come! I've gone with the theme this week of.... Relaaaax! 2/52 - Benson 2/52 - Monet Diva still to come MnDM

Adonyus is just gorgeous pixie Meg Helen, love the photo! Just stunning

The more the merrier I say! Maybe you can get pics of my dogs as I won't be able to if I'm racing them!

Thank you. I'll be sure to let you know what I think. But Kirisilin brought up a good point that if your using a fast shutter speed the IS isn't needed... As I'll be using this lens mostly for whippet racing that's why I went with it! But will try out some everyday shot too! Yes cost is a huge factor isn't it! The 2.8 was double the cost of the f4.

Well! I friggin' well did it! After researching for the last few months and up until 2am this morning... I found my best deal! After looking online, in stores and worrying about grey imports, whether it has canon warranty, Australian warranty or has to be shipped back to HK. I purchased a Canon 7D body only through Kogan.com.au for $1386 and it is shipped from Oz. I also grabbed a memory card, extra battery and 5yr warranty which I found out after I ordered it, comes from HK. Shipping was $29 all up. I purchased a Canon EF 70-200mm f4 USM lens from DWI for $669 (it was $675 this morning, so I saved some $$ woot), with uv and cpl filters and 3yr warranty and it was free shipping. I chose this lens as the 2.8 is out of my price range for now. I was a bit apprehensive buying the lot from DWI incase it was stopped at customs for being over $1000. So I'm super excited now that it's all gone through. I'll get myself a 50mm f1.8 from JB hifi as they have them for $100. So it should all arrive next week... Now to find a bag to put it all in! Any suggestions? Squeeeeeeee MnDM P.s a HUGE thank you to all of you whom I've annoyed to find out what camera/lens you've used!

I'm using my Canon 600D. That photo was taken with the 55-250mm kit lens. Loving the day 5 shots from everyone! Thanks... I though for sure you were using a 60D or 7D. Awesome!

Ziva is just adorable!

Very cool! Those eyes are amazing!

Picked mine up today and had forgotten what I ordered! The dogs LOVE their cuz balls and holey cuz too! Thank you to the enabler who recommended them and BOTH of the stuff in a bag doggie beds/blankets! The raccoon tails made it and had to be put away from lil noses, they went mental for them!
