they are fantastic - well done!

mmmmm very Christmassy but I can't imagine keeping the white parts clean. I also like the "formal" one.

So what happens if I have lost my clicker and buy a new one - does training have to start all over again?

Happy to buy whatever you don't want/need - you can put the $'s in your coffee fund Can pick up/leave money at the kennels on the way home from work one afternoon if you like. PM me?

yes it is nice Mine had to be made up, ordered Oct 20th or roundabout. It was mailed to me on November 1st, and arrived last Friday - the 19th

ok 2 very quick ones. I am now using the fluro wahl to store all of the empty camera / lens boxes

Mine took 3 weeks to get here Huga - so don't hold your breath. Will try and get photo's. I am supposedly working from home today, and getting further behind thanks to DOL .....

Yes I've received mine - but because YOU made me buy the 30m 1.4 my stuff won't all fit in now (you can't keep switching threads to hide from me )

Well that sounds hopeful Erny - wonder if he would eat ANY brand of kibble mixed in with the can? I am happy to buy the black hawk off you if you like, as I am about to buy a big bag and dread to think what delivery will be to down here...lol

1.4

our Phoebe is a REAL reindeer not many people know this but that's why greyhounds sleep for 364 days of the year - they have a VERY busy night to prepare for

If it were me and one of mine, I'd be off to see Graham Brown - muscle man - he's at Pakenham. Hope Penny is doing ok.

here you go - didn't quite nail them, but I'm happy! oh and it wouldn't be a show without Punch

Phoebe at 1.4 - need more practice!

bugger - how easy was that. I'm sure that's what I tried (not ) Now of course I have about 200 million images to "re-edit".........................

I haven't used lightroom for ages. I did use it for our calendar pics, but for day to day "snaps" I use DPP. I find lightroom a little frustrating, as I get impatient sometimes, like for instance I can't figure out how to make my own presets so I just don't bother with it I find Picassa the best (of what I have) to remove things.

good lord no I have become a fan of the "smaller" lenses hence buying the 30m. I hardly ever use the 70 - 200 as it seems to get heavier to carry every day - just as I am feeling older every day! I'm finding the 100m good enough for what I want. Anything further away, well it'as just too bad On DWI - you click on the boxes on the right for Canon / Nikon, just as you click for a filter or extended warranty. But I do hope my camera bag arrives soon, I'm running out of places to hide my "shit".

that's the one - I got it for $429 - with free postge from HKBNS in Hong Kong

Great photos all of them. This one in particular I thought stood out. Just out of interest, what were your lighting conditions? Pretty gloomy here in Melbourne this afternoon. Was pleased with this shot - taken outside on the covered deck - but pointing down away from the light towards a black dog can be a challenge. ISO 200 - 1/1000 for this shot centre weighted metering

Yup I generally take the 1.8 to the beach (because it's cheap and light weight) and use it at around 3.5 - 4.5 for action shots. So will do the same with the 1.4 Well actually, I'll try the whole range in the morning - weather permitting at 6am!

Well I've had it about half an hour and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it! A few quick happy snaps. First click - no hunting - indoors wide open ISO 2500 then out on to the deck Will need to have a good play around with the 1.4 DOF, but so far Will give it a really good workout at the beach first thing in the morning. did I mention I LOVE it

thanks everyone - now that I am over the shock it feels a little spooky - you know, having my baby hanging on someone elses wall! But yes, I am very pleased

bet you can't do that again

I am soooo chuffed. It's a fundraising site for the greyhounds, and I sell a lot of cards to adopters because they have their greyhounds on them, but someone bought a mounted print of MY DOG! try it now - here ....... in case the link doesn't work

Human meatballs with mince, oats and egg to bind. Cook in oven. Stack to look pretty - drizzle with cottage chese - voila :D then they just get one (or three each).
