Somebody rememberied me - great waterbaby rants Cat & Becky!

RoF - Ring of Fire - all points active with continuous tracking in AI Servo. I was in single-point AI-Servo all day, juggling the joystick.

Other thing I might do differently next time is use the 24-105+100-400 for less gap; 70 FF and 100 APS-H is a bit too big a gap; some of the action 5D shots really needed cropping.

Gotcha. I should try that too. I tend to use the center dot or center dot expanded.

Zaney, ROF is "ring of fire" and it means to enable all the af points and use aiservo...then as you pan action the focus point flows from point to point so that your subject stays in focus for multiple frames.

Thanks Lisa. I just couldn't figure out the "RoF".

Tip ..101
You can get the same effect of ring focus while panning ..ect from the landscape mode on rebel Xt ..

((((((((((Tiff))))))))​))) thanks for everything ..and the Rita too ..sips yum ...
I think Ritas can be so pretty ..love the salted rim ..the pale color

I agree...they are so pretty too....especially with a lime wedge garnish and a fancy glass.

<-------------getting thirsty for some reason.

I am assuming that RoF can only be enabled in a 5D right?

OK... have to share my current facebook profile picture, because it cracks me up...

Brian too it also

That's funny Tif. I meant to mention before, I like Brian's watermark.

today I took Kona for a walk...it was a nice path along the river and people are supposed to keep their dogs on a leash. I came around a corner and was suddenly accosted by two dogs. One doberman and one (at least half ridgeback). The pinned Kona btw. my legs...the doberman was in front of me barking and the ridgeback was behind me growling (ridge up). Their "owner" was further down the trail talking to a bicyclist. Completely ignoring her dogs menacing us. Finally I yelled "HEY are these your dogs. You need to contain them.." and she whistled...the doberman returned to her and SHE CONTINUED HER CONVERSATION completely ignoring the ridgeback.

I was so mad. I forgot to be afraid. I was so angry I didn't say anything because I know I would have completely lost my temper. Finally I made myself as big as possible and moved toward the ridgeback saying "get away" and it retreated to her.

I've decided to carry mace in future though. I had no idea what those dogs would do to me or Kona. And the owners behavior was absolutely unacceptable.

She knew I was upset as I continued my walk past her (she was still talking to the cyclist). She just looked at me very rude like "yeah, my dogs could do the very thing you expected". It was the rudest animal/owner encounter I've ever had...

I did learn though that I can be pushed past fear to absolute fury.

sigh. thanks for listening.
