jr_inoz Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 (edited) So, did it today - bought a Canon 7D. Been thinking about this for about 12 months. Finally did it. Will try it out later this arvo when the battery has charged. Thanks Snook for the nudge..... well, I'm saying it was you anyway. Just have to wait for the porteen bag to arrive now. Very excited. Nice early birthday present. Edited April 13, 2012 by jr_inoz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jr_inoz Posted April 10, 2012 Author Share Posted April 10, 2012 no photos worth uploading yet. After waiting the couple of hours for the battery to charge, I did some practice shots, to make sure everything was working - and it wasn't. The LCD screen showed pictures of a nice purple, or green or pink. Or just lines running across the screen. I tried my old flash card and the camera worked fine. I rang the store and they said to bring the camera back in. It wasn't the flash card but the sensor in the camera. It was replaced. So, haven't really had a chance to actually take any shots at present..... tomorrow.... am I ever glad I decided against buying a grey import online. That would have been so annoying!

piper Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Well you will have fun at the clinic this weekend - lots of photo opportunities and a gorgeous location as well (although unfortunately looking a bit dry still this year). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piper - I am sooo hoping you will be there on the Saturday - even though your dogs are further along. I need someone who can take a decent photo to get some of Rommy. I have some nice herding shots of others - I don't have them of Rommy - only a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jr_inoz Posted April 10, 2012 Author Share Posted April 10, 2012 (edited) ok - two photos from tonight - with an uncooperative subject. shot with 6400 iso, no flash, 50mm lens with arpeture priority. (I'm still learning - took me most of the night to work out how to set the AF on the spot I wanted). I'm pleased with the lack of noise at this high an iso. I like the clarity in the low light as well. edited - photobucket was being a pain and orientating them the wrong way...

I have some nice herding shots of others - I don't have them of Rommy - only a few. I will be there all weekend and last year spent all of the first day on my butt under a tre taking pics :) There is usually another person there doing the same who takes awesome pics. And if you want some with your own camera there is another girl who will be there that is a Canon user and does fantastic work (used to do the agility trials and sell her pics.) ETA: I feel your pain - I have way more photos of other peoples dogs involved in activities than of my own. I hardly have any of dear old Piper and Jazz is just difficult as she works so wide that I can have dog working or sheep and rarely both and without sheep in the frame she could be walking up on a ball or having a nice run in the paddock.

piper Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Great deal but I am training Sunday. I will have Jazz with me and she might get used for some stock work and swapping sheep around. Will probably use her to bring them in in the morning which is her favourite job anyway :) There will be other days :) I find most of the pics I have got are from "swaps" with other photographers who can never get pics of their own dogs either.

jr_inoz Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 (edited) had to remove these two.... still having fun with the camera, but really need to work out how to do the motor function and how to take movement shots. It really does handle a lot differently to the 400D. Edited April 12, 2012 by jr_inoz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jr_inoz Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 (edited) a couple more photos..... lots to learn! these are with the 18-200mm (f3.5-5.6) lens Can I just say I also love where I live.... although - I am not happy with what photobucket does to these landscapes - a bit washed out...
