Is there a difference between rescue taking one no else wants?


These were litterally rescued by firemen from the house. See attached. The real difference with most rescue animals is they are usually born into less than ideal circumstances vs. a breader. Some are surrendered by folks that cannot take care of them. Some are offspring of feral animals, etc. We got our girls from St Louis Pet Rescue. The folks in the house suddenly found themselves homeless and could not keep the cats.

Amazing story and congats to you for the rescue. I’ve had kitties in my life (until recently) since college and all were rescues. After the last one pasted over the bridge, my wife & I now have two small pups.

Thanks for the reply Dave Sorry to hear about your loss. I'm sure the pups are filling the space in your hearts. We've had rescues most of my life too.

Our two rescue girls. Cinder the tuxedo and Ember the full figured black. They were named from the fact that they were born during a total loss house fire. They, two siblings and their mother we're found in a puddle in the house. They are very bonded to each other and to us.
Enjoy.

I Was Babysitting My Granddaughter

and my daughter and son-in-law told me about these little guys, so I brought my camera with me. The lighting wasn't optimum; I was shooting at an oblique angle and through a window, but I got some rather good ones. there were three of them on and off. Sarah says they are regular visitors. They are the most agile creatures I have ever seen.


Great to see pictures of them.
We had one as a pet (rescue) when I was a kid. She "Tinkerbell" lived with us for 8 years. Beautiful animals. So gentle.

Shaky Right Hand - Sony RX10 IV Zoomed
Agreed, we have to keep going or what's the point. Sometimes it is not for the faint of heart.

Shaky Right Hand - Sony RX10 IV Zoomed
markngolf wrote:
I still have not found a satisfactory solution to the slight Parkinson's in my right hand. It is worst when focusing and shutter release. I bought a wired cable release and that is quite helpful when the Sony is mounted on a tripod because I can use my left hand. I seem to manage at 200 - 300mm focal length, but beyond that, holding steady is impossible. I've not yet tried BBF, but I have my doubts about that scenario. The worst shake is with my index finger at shutter release. In the past, I found with my Canon DSLR's, wearing a hand strap helped. I have one for the Sony arriving tomorrow via Amazon. Here's the one I ordered: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HTWF9ZI/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I'm not necessarily looking for suggestions, but I'm open to recommendations. I'm just sharing more of this issue with my friends at UHH. I'll report results after tomorrow. I don't up give easily.
Thanks for visiting,
Mark

Do you ever notice that when there is a football game on a very rainy day, that from some camera angle it looks like a dry day yet when they switch to another camera, you can see the pouring rain? I’m sure you’ll be able to capture it another time when lighting permits it.


Thanks for the response. I'll keep trying.

Wow, you must be super sensitive. Sorry about that. If I had wanted to be condescending, trust me, I would leave no doubt and you would not have made it past first paragraph.
But as a goodwill gesture, I did some research for you. I think you must have the camera set in Effects Mode or Scene mode, rather than M,P,A or S or even Auto. Nikon manuals state that Picture Controls have no effect on RAW and was designed with nef files in mind. Further, there is a vivid setting where you can bump contrast and saturation levels to your desired output on the jpegs.
Then there are Scene and Effects modes, which include Vivid and Super Vivid mode within. Several of the "effects" modes negate RAW. I found a 3rd party manual that addresses many of them, like Night Vision and it had this to say:
You can capture the photo only in the JPEG format. You select this setting via the Image Quality option on the Shooting menu. Raw (NEF) files aren’t compatible with the Night Vision effect.

Several other settings in Effects mode had the same warning. Some even disable your AF assist lamp, some disable your on camera flash. I imagine the same would hold true for Effects Vivid or Effects Super Vivid.

So... take my reply as condescending or nice and helpful, the choice is yours.

Thanks for doing that research. I am not a sensitive guy, just saw no value in your comments. You could have started with your second paragraph and gone from there.
I used A,S,M and Auto before going to Vivid just to see if it picked up more of the snow.
The fact that a raw file was not created was just an observation that I noticed while reviewing the output. I don't use it often and never noticed that before. Others then told me that shouldn't happen and something must be wrong with my camera. You have proven it to be a known effect of Super Vivid Scene mode. Thank you for saving me the time to investigate.

No hard feelings.

It was snowing like a maniac and I was trying to capture it. It was SO visible to the eye and didn't transfer to the images I was trying to get an answer before it stopped. I'm still wondering if film would have captured it better. Also thinking I should have put my flash on during the day.

Thanks for taking the time to respond.
