thanks everyone - really apprciate the info / advice

thank you very much ash - where can a grey card be "gotten"? Is it a photographic thing or can it be printed as 18% on a professional printer?

so - the photo's ??????

thanks ash - waiting patiently for your return :D

OK - so I have a white dog and a black dog (they're both greys but that shouldn't confuse the issue ) I generally shoot them seperately, mainly because they don't really run or play together. Sometimes at the beach I might take a pic of them just hangng. So, one white and one black - is there anything I should be doing with exposure to get the best out of the pics? I guess it would be similar for weddings? white bride and dark groom? annieK

nothing in his hand - he had the little camera in his other hand! if I had a slightly different angle it would have looked REALLY wierd

today's backlighting efforts! and the man with the green whirlygig

I have priced the Sigma in Oz the same as the US. Have read lots of reviews on the Sigma v Canon and they all seem to say the same thing - that they are equal in results. Kja - dumb quesiomn - I only have the 400D, and I understand that a non canon lens must come with a canon mount - but does the canon mount fit all canons? Would what ever I buy for the 400D also fit something newer - if/when I do upgrade? At the moment I am trying to keep each individual purchase under the $1000 - OH doesn't flip so loud when he only sees three figures He seemed that the monopod was only two figures. Was thinking should maybe just trade the greys in for something slower?

well I bought a monopod during the week (not as big or sturdy as Luke's of course ) wondering about the Sigma 70 - 200 lens I guess I'm trying to experiment to see if it's the camera, the lens or the photographer - in which case I will give up I just want sharper pics than what I get now. Where in the US do you look?

not telling but but but .... we might get a bigger discount if we buy two

ok then - spit it out - what are WE buying now

sil hoo wet

A CLASS ACTION

OK - I'll start off with these old ones - all accidents - but now I know they are special :D

Save this in your favourites (camera manual) http://www.lrc.ed.ac.uk/Documentation/Digi...400d_manual.pdf page 71 for manual settings. I think I have it all worked out, but need some sun

oi - it's not August yet very nice pic - I would think it would count!

we have to be to keep up with our hounds

rightyho then

this is about it!

I use my canon kit 75-300 all the time - much much more than the 50mm. I'm mostly photgraphing the greys, so prefer something zoom so photo's are more natural. I would love to have really "good" gear, but the kit lenses are fine for what i need.

This is not uncommon with greyhounds fresh into care. Some of them eat like there is no tomorrow. Is he getting enough to eat? Sometimes feeding several meals a day make them feel a bit fuller and so he won't feel the need to eat so quickly. It will settle down - how long have you had him?

Mmmm Erny - I had been wondering what, if any, seasonal changes (bloody cold at the moment) might mean to his condition.

can't wait to see it - it had better be special

That one is PERFECT - well done. And er - you can hold the torch in your mouth

Haven't had an update for a while - just wondering how things are going Erny? annieK
