Default Mr. Socks (New 20D)

Straight out of my new 20D. Yes I finaly have it. Shot taken with 17-85 and a 420EX flash, NO touch ups in PSE. Wow what a camera. I have a huge learning curve ahead but I just know I will enjoy it. I hope you enjoy. Oh buy the way Mr. Socks is our cats name

Cool Re: Mr. Socks

that's a lovely cat Dave

mr socks

I imagine he grabs all the spare socks around
lol


congratulations on the new camera

hope you have many wonderful opportunities with it

the white subject in the background in this photo distracts slightly
so watch out for those things too
after you get used to the camera

Thanks Marie

Yes that white thing is a little distracting But in my defence the excitement of just having this camera is a little overwhelming, the sharpness and detail is awsome, I didn't even see that thing

Now that you have the 20d, why not change your sign-off to "Getting better ...". Congratulations, and good luck. Very nice shot of the cat.
