Oh i forgot to say welcome to the Nikon club too :nahnah: The first one is lovely and sharp what lenses do you have with your camera?

let me know how you get on.

Shit Rocco if you can afford that one, go for it dude. I would.

Does your camera have active d lighting?

They look fine to me, looks like you had a few shadow areas due to position of sun in the second one which is also hard. I think they are great.

can you take more shots of your property pers? it looks so interesting and massive I still cant believe the camera travelled all the way to that address

Gosh those are good photos! Sorry persy, i threw the box out when i moved only a while ago, I went looking in the study before I sent it.

i think it has red eye reduction too

Im so pleeeeeeeeezed persypony, but i just realised i forgot to mail the battery recharger I will mail it on monday first thing!

Just try to give it after food, like humans and anti flams. I worry about Ruger too

Doing major surgery is hard. Doing major surgery on a young gundog is harder BUT it can be done. If you have the money I say go for it. Give the little fella a cuddle for me.

Oh I meant him for any type of ortho (general) surgery. Also if you want a specialist's opinion, David Ledbetter at North Parramatta Vet specialists is excellent. (he did ruger's Pancarpal arthrodesis)

Without a doubt Rob Zammit

Yep those two are good rocco. It is tricky isnt it. You will find the further away the background the more room you have to fit the whole dogs head in focus front on

Happy Late birthday :rolleyes:

Kirs, something else to consider if using manual settings, and it makes it easier being head on if you have lower light situations and you wont have to sacrifice your depth of field. Direction of Movement For a given shutter speed, if your subject is running perpendicular to the camera, then you need a faster shutter speed to capture the shot. If your subject is running at an angle towards the camera, then a slower shutter speed would suffice. An example is a photo of your pet dog. A dog running towards you would require a slower shutter speed then a dog running across you.

Tess, I've carted a D3 and a 80-400 around for a while now, you do get used to the weight, but the D3 is a big heavy camera too. Cant wait to see some pics. How weird that it is a push pull.

:rolleyes:

Use a Nikon D3 and a 80-400mm zoomy :rolleyes: The 'coming towards you shots' are the easiest action shots to take apparantly and I forget why I think i was on 1/1000 for this. A lot of it will depend on your light too so dont forget to bump up your ISO a tad if you need to get some speed.

yep and also explained in the sequence of photos in the link in my last post. Its handy to have.

Its a magic Nikon thing its the bomb and takes out shadows on your photos. you can apply it whilst playing back your images on the screen. http://www.flickr.com/photos/samfeinstein/tags/dlighting/ have a look at these, (not mine)

I love cats. Pitty my two dont. Im reading all about D lighting etc at the moment, and need to get some more shots! Thats how you learn though hey

Oh my god look at the look on her face where they are staring at each other :rolleyes: Its like she is going cross eyed. How cute is she? PS whats a burn tool and what does it do?

Its not an all mince diet is it?
