I do something similar, but I get my L brackets from Really Right Stuff and use a RRS B2-FABN strap boss clamp which allows my to attach my Black Rapid or my Bos strap.

:thumbup: : :thumbup: I like my Black Rapid. Camera slides up. Another option is Bos strap.

Based on the big ears, I have to assume it is a mule deer fawn. We don't have them here, just whitetails. Love your picture.

The free version of Dropbox is 2GB, the last time I looked. Actually I have 18 GB free.

And when you add the weight of your camera you are looking at close to nine pounds!

I use a Tamron 70-300 on both my 60D and 6D. I like the results

Just looked in my copy which is the first edition. The first edition does not have the typo since the sentence ends before the -- of the second edition.

I have all my photos that are used for displays printed commercially. McGreevy ProLab and ProPress in Albany, NY says either jpgs or tiffs are okay, but there is no advantage to giving him tiffs, so I will send him jpgs.

Unfortunately, I am busy that weekend, but I did get a photo of a B-24 flying over a soccer field while I was taking pictures of my granddaughter's competition. It was on its way into the Schenectady, NY airport

EDIT: I think this is one of the planes that will be at Reading along with a P-51 and probably a B-17.

Another issue is taking photos of children During a shoot at a curling bonspiel, the son of one of the curlers was romping around and having fun, so I asked his mother if she would like some pictures. When I processed the photos, I emailed the family jpegs, and then deleted all photos of the kid from my computer as I promised I would do.

I cropped this from a landscape version and had it printed in a 9X6 for framing. Two friends now have it hanging in their homes.

It was taken in Ogunquit, Maine as part of a series of sunrise photos. Unfortunately I did not straighten the horizon.

You can buy mats at Michaels and similar stores much cheaper than buying frames, or you can invest it a mat cutter and cut your own. I can get three to four mats out of one sheet of mat board which costs less than $9.00. On occasion I have had special mats cut for me for about $8 when I need two separate openings. I've paid as little as $2 and as much as $20 for "off-the-shelf" frames. So matting is usually not the most expensive part of your project.

EDIT: my average cost is closer to $12 to $15 for frames.

There's a little button on my phone which depresses when you hang up. Someday it will automatically recognize Indian dialect and automatically hang up. Until then I just hang up even before he finishes his message.

Most of the pictures I have sold have been in a local charity art show in Albany called Art de Cure (40% of the sale price goes to its charity). Ther is an entry fee of $25 for two photos. Each show lasts about three to four months (pictures are displayed at a local medical practice). Art work can be photos, paintings, sculpture, etc. Photos have to be framed and capable of being hung. I got hooked by selling a 5x7 of a bald eagle that I took ten years ago with a Canon S2-IS (a point and shoot). I priced it at $80, so I got $48. No big deal, but it was fun getting my feet wet. Since then I have sold other photos in the same show, plus a few to friends and even did an album for a woman's father who flew a P-51 during WW2. The album included a B-24 and B-17 which I shot. Never big money, but enough to cover my frames, mats, and prints. I usually double my material cost unless the project requires special research.

I have the. canon G 15 (it has since been replaced by the G 16). It takes pictures in raw and is a great low light camera. I use it whenever I am in a situation where m larger cameras are not welcome, or not needed. I also mount it on my Gorilla Pod and take videos of the curlers during a bonspiel.
