OK...share a picture, share a thought, share your new gear or even your classics...seek advice or feel free to offer some...not a competition...not a test...you don't need an L....but don't be a pest....check your attitude and ego at the door!:p If your here for fun...come on in....if you're here to stir up trouble, go darken another door.

Clearly so :) You have many deer where you are?

We just have pesky raccoons!

[gjl711]

We just have pesky raccoons!They are pretty much in the pest category. There use to be quite a few before the suburbs moved in. It was not unusual to wake up some fall mornings to see deer out the kitchen window. Now they are mostly in the preserves and parks.

Driven out by the urban building works? That is happening in a lot of places.

[poppie guy]

gmooooooooooooo.

Nice new thread title Chris!

I like the deer photos JJ. They were more plentiful on the Oregon coastal region when I grew up than they are now too. For awhile we had a problem with poachers who would shoot one at night in our pastures.... among the cows. During that period of time, when we heard cars stopping at night near the farm we would drive along the road bordering the fields with a spotlight, looking for poachers. At the same time, we counted the deer that came down from the hills to eat the grass. Many nights we counted over a hundred deer. Today I'd be surprised if you could find 20 deer living in the same area.

[Harm]

So if you have no deer left, what do you take photos of, Sid?

[Thalagyrt]

Hiyarrrrrrrrrr.

[Harm]

Hi James

[poppie guy]

So if you have no deer left, what do you take photos of, Sid?

I spend more time thinking about taking photos than actually taking photos.:lol:

[poppie guy]

Cloudy winter days in Oregon = horrible light, and I can't afford the right kind of gear for wildlife photography, but I still enjoy it. Here's a shot from a couple weeks ago when T.D. and I were at Ridgefield. The heron was really upset with the two otter that came by and took the fish. Shooting through a bunch of tall grass didn't help the photo either, but it's a lot of fun to see this kind of stuff happening, and even poor quality photos help preserve the memory.

#1 was a 100-400 and #2 was a 300 f/2.8.

#1 was in the wild ('bout a 33% crop) and #2 was a wildlife park resident (Don't know if it was captive but it didn't mind people so much.)

Beyond the eagles, deer, moose and bear....there are tons of animals....cows, horses, dogs, cats, sheep, pigs, raccoons, fox, squirrels, rabbits, bobcats, timber wolves, coyotes and coydogs, chipmunks, snakes of all sorts, chickens, roosters, turkeys, herons, owls, songbirds of every size shape and color....heck...that is just scratching the surface. You go right by Lake Champlain....you might even get a shot of Champ!

I want a 35mm f/1.4L for urban shooting...so a macro lens is pretty low on my list of needs

WooHoo Everyone! Haven't checked in since this morning, and already a new thread with 5 pages!

Let's see, people were posting critters earlier...back in Spring of '07 I paid a visit to a little local wetlands that I dubbed "Critter Lake" because, well, it was full of critters. Here is where I had may first "close" encounter with a GBH -- close enough, that is, that I could photograph it and come out with a crop that would still have some detail, and here is where my "affair" with this bird began.

I took this shot with my 30D and the consumer 70-300 IS lens, and from this sprang expensive new lenses and, before too long the 1D3:

They kept trying to say she is a couple of years old...looking in her mouth and other things tells me she is no more than 8 months. They named her Zelda, but I am not sure and she isn't either...I think we will work on finding the right name in the next couple of days.

She is extremely malnourished....but she joined right in with the others and ate a big supper...poor thing ate enough that you could actually see her belly swell. I suspect with proper diet and some TLC....she might be a big girl....she is already the biggest dog in the house....hehehe

And yes....I should have been more clear....looks and intelligence have no bearing on animal abuse....NO animals deserve to be abused. She just has such a gentle demeanor that it makes it all the more bizarre.

[Woolburr]

Let me see if I can explain some common uses of 1st and 2nd curtain sync. Generally 2nd curtain sync is done in conjunction with a fairly long shutter time....to show a form of motion...you can also do the same with 1st curtain...but the results are dramatically different.

Just for purposes of this...picture in your mind a car driving across your line of sight from left to right.
In the case of 1st curtain sync w/a prolonged shutter....you will see a crisp car on the left side of the image....trailing to a blur on the right side of the print.

In the case of 2nd curtain sync w/a prolonged shutter....you will see a blurred streak to the left of the image trailing to a crisp car on the right side of the print.

Hope this makes sense....I would go snap some test shots to show you...but I have a new pup to deal with.

Second curtain works great when shooting in the rain or snow as will. It will stop that raining upwards look you get when synced to the first curtain.

This dog has done a complete 180 from where she was last night....the tail is wagging....and I think I detect a hint of sparkle climbing back into those eyes. I just hope things continue to progress this well.

There's a very special place for people like you Dan. God Bless for having such a big heart. What a lovely pup!

I could never understand what demon is inside of a person that causes them to mistreat an animal, any animal. She looks like a sweet pup.

And there's a very not so special place for people who would harm an animal...!

Cute dog. It makes me mad when I hear about dogs being mistreated. Seriously a lot of people should never be allowed to keep any kind of animals. It didn't use to be like this in Denmark but unfortunately more and more people mistreat their pets. A couple years ago some kids pour gasoline on a rabbit and set it on fire and they recorded it on video with their cell phone. Absolutely insane and they should have that done to themself.

Agree. I wouldn't mind having a dog but with the apartment I live in and the fact that it often could be alone for 8+ hours I will not get any because I think 8 hours in a small apartment is cruel to a dog.

[CrazieCricket]

Well....since today is critter day....this new critter is at my house....I think she has decided to stay.

You need a Cat Tommy...! ;)

[tommykjensen]

Nahh I don't want a cat. The only cats I like is this kind:

but I am not so sure my neighbours would be happy if they met me walking a cat like this :lol:

[FlyingPhotog]

Well, if you had a cat like that, why would you care what the neighbors think? :lol:

That's a stunning image.

[poppie guy]

Love that shot Tommy, the light on the cat is beautiful.

[Woolburr]

With that cat on your leash...I doubt the neighbors would have much to say at all....hehehe

Thanks. Hehe yeah you have point about the neighbours.

Yep it was early morning and the ligth was perfect when the cheetah was on the correct side of the vehicle. I have some from the other side and the difference is huge.

hehe.

Nice kitty Tommy.

Interesting ??? for you folks. Recently they introduced state wide laws that all cats must be registered. Local Councils collect the fees and monitor this. Any of you have this for cats, we've always had it for dogs but never cats. Not that it bothers me, we, don't have a cat - or dog for that matter - just wondering.

There is nothing like that in Denmark. I would not have a problem with something like this if it can help prevent mistreatment of pets. There is some dicsusion in Denmark about banning the dog breeds that often are called muscle dogs

There are many places in the US that have adopted or are considering adoption of cat registrations. Feral cats are becoming a major problem in several urban areas. The region around Orlando is having a real struggle with them.

[Greg_C]

We struggle to control the feral cat problem. So much of our native wildlife falls prey to feral cats out in the bush. I've been all for it myself, could never see why pet dogs and cats were treated so differently.

Just downloaded a new version of Helicon Focus - a focus stacking prog I use a little (not a lot). Now they have released a prog to drive the lens in micro steps to do the series of shots to stack. Gotta try this out tomorrow.

Sounds interesting for macro or product shooting.

Can't see myself taking the laptop into the field to try it but I might set up a table top rig tomorrow and shoot a few still life shots. Maybe some used and unused matches.

There's also a bit about using it for lens calibration. Have to read up on that and see what it's about.

Got a linky? I do a lot of focus stacks. Right now it's all using my focus rail and manually. I've been waiting for the Magic Lantern (http://magiclantern.wikia.com/wiki/Magic_Lantern_Firmware_Wiki) guys to finish the 5DII to 7D port but it's taking them a while.

[gjl711]

And there's a very not so special place for people who would harm an animal...!I sure hope that's true because I know the place here is not so bad. Last year I witnessed a guy purposely swerve into the oncoming lane (there were no oncoming cars) to hit a dog. I got his license and stopped. The dogs owner also saw the whole thing. She was on her front steps calling the dog back home. It had escaped. The police caught the guy, he had a court date, he was let off, I don't know why.

[Harm]

Howdy moo folks :)

[gjl711]

Hey Harm.. Whats up?

[Harm]

Brown van man should be here today...well at home :)

OOOooo... I loves those days. :)

[Harm]

who doesn't?

I went to a christmas party last night, at the apartment complex, and ended up chatting with the owner of a decent photography chain in the Boston area...their prices are competitive, but the guy started to say how they have a store in NH too....i love 0% sales tax :) I'll have to see what they have on offer up there :)

[Thalagyrt]

Howdy meow guys! I'm flooded in and under a tornado warning. :|

[Thalagyrt]

I'm pretty much trapped at home right now. It's so bad outside that I can't drive to work at the moment. It'll clear up for about 5 minutes then monsoon again.

Stay safe then.

Good morning all.

Near blizzard here....very white and windy at the moment.

[Greg_C]

Clouds outside are a pinky orange in colour, might have been a good day to be by the water for sunrise but with sunrise due officially in 5min I don't think I'd make it.

[mtnphtgrphr]

you and living at that hole.... I have no wind at my house....

[tommykjensen]

Near blizzard here....very white and windy at the moment.

The past 2 days we have got a lot of snow. Normally it takes me about 40 minutes with 2 different coaches to get to work but yesterday it took 1,5 hour both ways so in total 3 hours. Almost 2 hours of the 3 was waiting for the coaches and that was freezing. So I worked from home today.

[gjl711]

http://www.heliconsoft.com/heliconfocus.html..Thanx. Have you ever compared the results to one of the free-bees like CombineZP?

Near blizzard here....very white and windy at the moment.It's suppose to be headed this way shortly. They are forecasting snow later tonight.

[Skrim17]

Wooly Dan, how is your house guest?

[theflyingkiwi]

oh a new thread, not to late am I?

oh a little card from me to you :)

Yeah a little, but I tended to have more success with Helicon. Not that I've really been into stacking that much.

[mtnphtgrphr]

Long time no see!!!!! Beautiful card!!!!!!!!!!!

[FlyingPhotog]

Very Nice Card Indeed...!

Santa brought me an early present yesterday. New Pelican 1650!
http://jcbeckman.zenfolio.com/img/v2/p99084652.jpg

Lots of filling in and re-arranging yet to do! This thing is big enough I could probably fit a body, couple of lenses and a couple lights in it if I wanted to.

Ain't it though? :D

[gjl711]

Does it fit in an overhead on a airplane?

[FlyingPhotog]

Does it fit in an overhead on a airplane?

Highly doubtful. Even if it fit HxWxD, it's already overweight just sitting empty... :shock:

[tommykjensen]

I should probably try this one with a black background too.

[FlyingPhotog]

Cute Tigger Tommy. Maybe give it a little rimlight for separation?

[tommykjensen]

That would mean ligth from the back rigth ?

This is my setup. Hopefully next week I will get my second 580 EX II which means I have 2 580 EX II and one 580 EX I.

You could try bouncing one off the roof and then have one at a right, rear quarter for some backlight maybe?

As a matter of course, cat's haven't been regulated here. Dogs are considered property and have to be vaccinated and licensed. Cats, on the other hand, aren't commonly known for carrying rabies so they've never been subject to regulation.

As broke as our city government is, I'm surprised they haven't tried to spring that one on us yet...

Dogs are property, cats aren't.
