That's is a great picture

Agreed. Love those pics when playing with the exposure/lighting.

This is one of my all time favorites. It's one of the members here.

Jeff - I wish I had the space to "attempt" to create a shot like that. :thumbsup:

Anybody thirsty?

1st time novice D-SLR user.

My dad passed away in 2009. He was into this and has a Canon 450D SLR with 3 lenses larges being a 80-400

I have no idea what I am doing and finally decided to get it out and start to learn.

Like always I started without reading the manual.

I put the biggest lens on and walked out in the front yard this morning and snapped the photo below.

It was really really dark, so had to enhance brightness using the PC. Still figuring out shutter speed, aperture etc

Anyway reasonably happy with 1st attempt....

I like it!! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^


Experimenting with the cameras these days is so easy... and fun... you take a bunch of shots -- mess with them if you choose - and hit delete on the one you don't like. Digital is great - Kodak hates it - but that's there problem! LOL

Is Rev showing some grey in that beard???



I miss little Stella. I just hope she's happy with her training over at SOB Farms.

Great stuff SIEGGY!!

You should be taking her with you as Toter Homeland Security. You can always drop her off with us on your way through.........if you'd take the time to stop!!! LOL

Yes, he's graying faster than I am and he's not even 28 in dog years!
