Our's is named Blaze Star and she will be 1 on December 26th. We wanted to name her after a famous red head and I picked the name. Not sure if the wife likes me since I named her after the stripper. Your Corgi is thinner than ours but my in laws tend to sneak her food. Somewhere on here I have a picture of her. We nicknamed ours Corgigator because she loves to chew everything including the couch, loveseat and chair.

If I don't watch her diet carefully, Stella would blow up quite fast. She loves to eat.

I love your corgi. In fact, she looks so much like my corgi, Penny. I will post some pictures up later this week!

Thanks! Corgi's are awesome little pups.

I'm glad you found some enjoyment, she is definitely quite a character that will eat anything. It seems like cotton is part of her balanced diet, she loves to get my socks and old t-shirts, lol.

As I said before, love the shots! RE: eating anything, my friend's Corgi, Franklin, has a rock eating fetish...and in fact already has a $2,000 rock to his name. She now watches him like a hawk!

Here is my corgi, Penny!

^What a cutie - Penny does look like Stella quite a bit!

Penny has that great Corgi smile. It makes you wonder what they are up to or planning.

Few new ones

How's the 5D2, Hieu? As a pet shooter, I'm curious to get your take...

For tracking, it's definitely not as easy as my 7D makes it. The 7D excels in this arena and makes life easy. The high FPS and superior AF makes tracking a running dog a breeze. The 5D2 takes a little more work so I need to anticipate movement a little more. The 70-200mm is pretty much my go-to lens when I am working with fast moving objects and performs wonderfully, even on the 5D Mark II (I think the lens helps out a lot). Overall, I am satisfied with it. Again, it doesn't do as well as the faster bodies, but once you understand it, it's definitely possible. I've used the T1i for sporting events before so I kind of got use to slower AF and FPS.

For stationary shots, the 5D2 is a huge improvement. I typically do indoor shots without flash, so the higher ISO capability is excellent. I shoot above ISO 3200 pretty often indoors and the FF sensor makes for easier noise clean-up in post.

Are you considering jumping to FF?
