Hmm! Evil thought to suggest to all those who don't have or believe in the "budget gene".
How long would it take to develop a budget gene if someone tried to talk you into a medium format digital and bag full of lenses?

Why worry about the wires, only a nit picker would even notice them. (on a large view on a big monitor) I know, you know they are there so they stick out like a sore thumb.
I posted my own 5 minute redo of the original. Lens correction to get barn vertical and greened up the grass (western Kentucky farm background, yellow grass offends me)

Find a group of trees or a building that looks good against the sky. Or get someone to pose and shoot from a low angle. ?!?

Rule of gun handling 'There is no such thing as an unloaded gun until you have personally checked it.' Next rule, 'Keep your finger off the trigger unless actually firing.' and 'Never point a gun at anything you aren't willing/planning to shoot.' (I think that would include your own foot!?!?

Family needs come first, keeping youngest in college next, a little extra for family next, and last comes toys. I'll save for something if I get a little extra from time to time. My 6D and its lenses and accessories were from a year and a half of back payment(s) from VA. It will probably be a while before I get anything else major. Maybe sell some of my other toys.

That spot goes on the thing I want in focus. Also, having learned on manual I tend to take at least one manual focus of something I consider important. And when the auto focus can't make up it's tiny electronic mind I go with manual.

Being familiar with quail back east as a kid I would say that not only did you not want the males head to be lost in the leafy background but if you had tried to get lower it would have likely been a photo of the place two quail used to be. Oh yeah, I love the shot and at least on my monitor it is Very Sharp.

You'll notice that I did not offer the info on where I took the picture from until the discussion started to focus on the "why didn't youÂ…". I certainly wasn't looking for special consideration. Actually, in this case, a low camera position would not have shown the top of the male's head and the interesting colouring there.

Actually under their law he owns the country, all of it. It is just that Forbes and others don't know how to calculate that so they stick with his personal wealth that actually has his name or that of one of his companies on it.

Do you have the faintest idea what the net wort of the Sultan of Brunei is vs. what this one property contributes? $20 Billion for the Sultan, and you honestly think the boycott of the Hollywood Hotel, costing employees and suppliers, bothers him?

OK, checked out the Optika and Cotton Carrier competition, one too expensive, one had reviews all over the place. So I ordered a MOVO from e-bay, same price but coming from Calif. (actually a place only a short way from me) so I paid sales tax. It is still under $40. And I will have it Monday.

I learned on a Miranda Sensorex with a 1 degree spot meter. (Bought at a PX in Japan while on leave from Nam in '67.)) I still tend to use the spot mode and don't miss all those meter spots at all. My 6D does just fine, better than me anyway.

I agree just not enough control on a tablet. Not to mention the small screen.
