Time for a usb hard drive.

I have two, the problem is my RAW software only works with the internal drive...

Funny thing... I tried "live view" on my 40D this afternoon for the first time. I've had it for a 1 1/2 years and haven't thought to use it. Cool feature.

Anyone use it?

Of used it on the XSi and absolutely love this feature.

How? I lost my manual... I could look it up or you could tell me.

LOL Kay!
I think you have to go in the custom functions and ind the "liveview on" command to the 'set' button, then you just hit the button and presto, your all set. I used it a couple times just to play around with the feature... then decided that I really didn't need it (as I already knew...) so I changed the custom function for the set button to be image playback.

well folks... that wraps up another weekend! it's time to go back to work. I'm kinda getting tired of all the rain we have been having here. it has rained every day for over a week, and it looks like it will continue this for over another week

We got our first day of rain today for all of September!!! A great span of good weather in Southern Ontario.

Last week my neighbour and I went splits on a snowblower so we are now garanteed very little snow this winter.

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH​AAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaa​aaaaaa

ok I'm going a little crazy today! too many things to do! and today is a short work day due to having class tonight! I'm starting to really feel swamped, and not just because of the 8+ inches of rain we've had in the last couple weeks! my wife and I have been making a list of all the little things that we want to get done around the house, and prioritizing them by approximately when we think we want to get them done... and it looks like by the time we get through most of them, there will likely be a list twice as long to replace the list! uhhg! I did finish processing an engagement shoot I did a couple weeks ago. I think they turned out really good. although I still have to get them to the couple. LOL I forgot that I wasn't going to get to see them this last weekend, oops.

hope everyone else is having a better day.

Where did Adam go?

I think he left the garden

I dunno, too lazy to read back a couple posts to see what happened LAST MONTH! hahaha

Hi guys, just wondering what's your favorite basic zoom lens. I need something in the 18-100 mm range, I'd be happy for 30-70mm range, would like Aperture wider than 3.5, can't even entertain an L... My portrait lens died, and would cost more to repair than replace. I'd really like to have something so that I can get back in the game by the holiday rush. I have the kit lens from when I got my XT, but I'd really like a better lens than that.

House hunting stinks. We have 4 offers out, nothing is looking very promising at the moment, I'm just waiting on the sellers bank to decide to approve our offer on our favorite, but they're in NO rush whatsoever. I jsut really want to take a break in looking, I've poured SO much energy into it, and am not seeing ANYTHING for all of it, I even saw 6-8 houses yesterday, and there is something just not workable about every house, the two that I liked were either way out of budget, had too many good offers on them already and/or too long of a commute. Nobody wants to sell in this market, so if they can the rent out, which leaves only short sales, foreclosures, and people weeks away from short sale or foreclosure situations or who just have a really crappy property they want to unload, or a new house on the market is off the market again before we'd have a chance to view it. I'm just REALLY hoping something will work out for us soon. Sorry to wine.

Almost had a family photoshoot Tuesday, but the weather didn't co-operate. I need to order cards and get myself back out there!

If you can't manage the 24-70 L, take a look at the Tamron 28-75 2.8 or the Sigma 24-70 2.8. Be aware the Siggie takes 82 mm filters while the L takes 77, so filter price will be markedly different. I forget what the Tammie uses. 72, maybe?

I have a Sigma 24-70 f/2.8EX DG Macro that I'm willing to part with (PM me if you're interested). It's an excellent lens but I've been considering selling it to raise funds for something else

House hunting/selling sucks. You hear about how everyone else got a great deal when buying or had bidders offer more than the asking price when selling. Never happens to us though.

If you're curious about the Siggy: link

I'm staying away from Sigma from now on, I've had two 24-70 f/2.8's break of me and they're more to repair than replace...

My sole Sigma (15-30) has been doing a stellar job since the days of my D60. Only reason I'm contemplating replacing it is to get the 12-24 so I have better ultra-wide on a crop.
