What's really hard for my heart is Carmie wants to move in and hubby says no more house chickies. She's almost blind at this point and loves me... today she climbed on my arm and nuzzled me - you could see her saying "please take me inside and give me treats. I will be a good little hen, I promise."
ohhh.... just make her a small home then :D

Yup! It's a $3500.00 POS. :lol:

I feel like I've been taking really crappy shots lately. Granted, I've been preoccupied with other things, but I really should try to step it up. I still kinda like this one, though.

[Fricks]

Do I care? Not really. If you want speed, spend the money on the 1D X.

if you want a cheaper 1dx with the same auto focus....

i know you would never need it unless the rocks start to move :lol: which if thats the case we have bigger problem then worrying about camera speed

If he's an action shooter, the 5D III isn't fast enough to begin with. The 1D X with it's buffering is clearly the choice.

[monk3y]

Hehe! Did you like the replacement foot for the 70-200 VRII? :)

yes very much...I still have it :lol: I might hold on to it... coz I might be able to snatch some cheap 70-200mm in Japan :D

[wuzzittoya]

This is Carmelita - she will come out from under the chicken house to me, and tonight climbed off of the roost and onto my arm. She is a very, very sweet girl. I feel so bad that the other chickens aren't nice to her. :(

is that a sony lens?

[vipergts831]

I hate pictures I take... nothing inspires me. If my photography were a novel I'd be debating between going back and editing what I have while hoping something percolates or putting it in a drawer for a while and finding a different creative pursuit. Also, I had planned on following Canon because it was where I started and logic suggests that they want to maintain market share, and as such, will continue to innovate and improve. Right now it looks like I was being a bit naive.

The gear helps a bit but shooting what inspires you matters even more. Remember as new techniques come around and you begin to expand your knowledge it is natural to go back and think about reediting. Why? Because you continue to grow in your creativity. Where i am today is vastly different than when i started. I too have gone to reedit and apply new techniques i have picked up along the way. We are always students in my book.

The many things that inspire me to shoot:

GF doesn't want me to spend $650 on a lens only to shoot bugs :lol: so I did not buy. But when I saw the 105mm up for trade, I grabbed it.... its $850 new I think, and I traded my 2xTCIII +$220 for it, I only told her about it last night haha :D

I'll have to actually relish the animals dragging me out of bed...

I'm so frustrated right now I'm considering selling all my equipment off while it's new enough to not take too big of a loss on it. So... definitely need to find something to shoot happily.

At least in another month or so flowers will be going - there is a pond filled with American lotus over at the family farm (almost a half hour from where we're living). I honestly hope to get some really nice shots of that at some point. Might even be worth camping out at the lake over there to get them early in the day. :)

Maybe just keep your camera and a 50mm lens? That has helped me go back to the roots of photography. Forces me to think and compose. Try to bring meaning out from my images.

Mayra doesnt care if i venture into that. As a matter of fact she encourages it because it would only broaden my client potential :D
hehehe... I'm bad in the past so I just give in to her now...

Very nice jake but i think i see sensor dirt :(
Jake.,.. sensor swab is very very easy...go watch some youtube video and DIY it :D

Your HDR is nice - not too overdone. :)

The other picture was better officially, but you can see how bad the ear mites are bothering him:

Maybe just keep your camera and a 50mm lens? That has helped me go back to the roots of photography. Forces me to think and compose. Try to bring meaning out from my images.

I've considered doing that - or even a week with each lens (though was surprised how frustrating a lens that starts at 70mm can be on a crop sensor! Yikes!).

[wuzzittoya]

i edited quite a few of them :lol:

:( poor kitty

I know - I tried the ear drops to kill mites and well, it makes the ear mites kinda mad and they bite more, etc. - he was crying and scratching himself bloody after that, so I decided to have the vet remove them when he is under anesthetic getting neutered. Will have to get the appointment made next week and hope it's fairly soon.

[wuzzittoya]

She would be so thrilled to have your support though! I haven't had a mom in 35 years this year. Or a dad for ten. Wow. That's kind of shocking to realize it feels like he hasn't been gone that long in a lot of ways.

awww. so sad. The kitty will feel much better as soon as that happens though :)

On top of his other problems, you take his balls too? :p How much does all of that cost??

There were people at the top of the hill who were evicted from their home (or they defaulted on their mortgage; not sure which). Anyhow, when they left they just left all the animals "free." You would think they would know better - if people see strays hanging around (especially dogs) that are half wild they shoot them. If you're going to be that cruel, shoot them yourself - don't leave them to starve for weeks first just so your neighbors end up trapping them (if they're hoping to retame and rehabilitate them like we are - what a pain for us) or killing them outright because they are harassing, injuring or killing livestock. :(

Anyhow, Duchess (Football) and George we suspect both wandered down from there. There is also a skinny hound mix that has been eating our cat food, etc., that we're now trying to live trap in hopes that we might be able to tame it so it doesn't get killed (and so we don't have to kill it). :(

hmmm wish you the best of luck

I'm not sure what the vet I'm going to call charges. The other charges $80 for the neutering, and will add, I'm sure for the ear mites, etc. The vet my friend uses is much cheaper. He loves animals and hates people, but I don't care if he's nice to me if he makes it easier to afford neutering George and spaying (after kittens) Duchess.

[MOkoFOko]

hehe no :lol:

I'm starting to believe that avatar suits you after all.

[Fricks]

Guys is it bad that i took a penalty in hockey today on purpose to talk the photographer in the penalty box? He was a nice guy and has a 5d3 on pre order.

[wuzzittoya]

hmmm wish you the best of luck

Thanks. We're picking up a live trap tomorrow for the dog. The frustrating part will be keeping George from tripping the trap getting in to eat the bait! :lol:

You know, I read that there's a growing % of americans these days who spend more on medical expenses for their pets vs family members (humans). More still are abandoning their pets entirely.

[Fricks]

he dint show me proof but he was shooting with a 1d4 and 70-200II and i saw he had a 200 f2 in his bag. so i believe him. If he's there agin tomorrow i might take a 10 minute. 2 minutes was not long enough
:lol: That's hilarious! Love it.
The problem is that i actually really wanted to talk to him. i dint take the penalty on "purpose" when when i did get it i was happy :|

[wuzzittoya]

We really love animals here. I had a raccoon getting into and killing my chickens. She had killed several chicks and the usual response is to kill them. Well, we live trapped her to relocate her and I saw she had young she was nursing. I checked with the department of conservation for an age estimate on the kits and they were too young to survive without her, so instead of relocating her I let her go so she could go back to her young and take care of them.

Most chicken people would have killed her, looked for the nest and killed them to, or just let the young starve. When hubby tells people that story they all laugh at me. :(
