Thank you so much for your advice, it is very much appreciated.
The Neewer is one I had been looking at on Amazon, along with the Vello from B&H unfortunately this one is not available yet.
Thanks again.Happy shooting..

Refurbished Canon 7D Mark II

I got a battery grip and use Wasabi Power batteries, three sets for two grips (6D uses the same battery and I have a grip for it also) Then I have the two OEM batteries that came in the cameras. So far I haven't managed to run down even one set, let alone two. Now if I went nuts on an all day BIF using burst I might do it.
Canon LP-E6 = 1800 mAh
Canon LP-E6N = 1865 mAh
Wasabi Power = 2600 mAh

Hi robertjerl, What make of camera grip do you have for the 7dII?
I am looking at them at the moment. Too many choices! I am leaning towards the Canon grip but the cost is higher than some of the positive reviewed generic brands.
I would welcome your feedback.
Thanks
Geoff

Thanks to pfrancke who posted an item that advertised a refurbished Canon 7D MK II for $999 on Monday. I purchased one. Today I received an email from Canon advertising the same camera for $1,199. This time I certainly did the right thing.

Thanks from me as well to pfrancke.
I ordered one Monday morning, after approval from my wonderful wife.
Can't wait for the Fedex truck to arrive.

I was shooting on the flats of Chokoloskee Island, when I saw my buddy fly by. As I was driving off the island I saw him waiting for me, perched on a tree on the causeway. I was lucky the sky was bright, lots of sun, and he was happy to pose, I tried a few settings, as follows. Please try the download.

Canon T2i, canon 400mm 5.6 L Lens. M mode, f/7.1, 1/1,000, f/5.6, 1/1,250, and f/13. 1/500, all ISO200, spot metering

Streaming NFL TV/Apple TV question

That is up to you.
Unless you want the newest with all the bells & whistles and are prepared to pay the extra and wait for them to come in to stores.

Personally I feel the price for the old Apple Tv 3rd generation is a bargain at $65.00.
I use mine every day it beats all the hundreds of channels of rubbish that my cable company has.

I'm going to this hook-up with modification...my TV has only one HDMI input, I'll use it for the AppleTV and use another type of input for my cable box input.
I'm not sure if I can hook the Ethernet cable from my router to the Appletv, and use the wireless function of the router, at the same time?

Hi Nikonlad,
You can get a HDMI splitter from Bestbuy or Radioshack, this would help keep your cable box on HDMI.

You attach the apple TV box to your tv with a HDMI lead, then you can link it with your apple device and watch the game on your TV,

New Topic: "BLT" ???

Be sure to get photo credits. And remember your expenses like auto etc. will be a deduction on your taxes.

Volunteering is a great way to serve and "give back" to your community and great causes. It also can serve as a spring board of experience if you want to take it further.

Hi Gary,
I have just had a look at the BLT website and have seen your photographs. It looks like everyone had a good day and you got to pursue one of your hobbies, with a mention and thanks from the organizers.
Good on you for providing your services to this cause, the world needs more people like you who are willing to give freely to their community.

Climb Dance... Ari Vatanen Pikes Peak

Really enjoyed that thanks for posting.
Have you seen the program about Guy Martin building a motor bike to do the hill climb?
It is 47 minutes long but worth watching.

Nice shots. In the first photo it does appear that something is wrong with the eye ... wonder if it's just the angle and the fact that he's looking down at you maybe? Can't see the same eye in #2 unfortunately.

Tom

Thanks for looking Tom.
I hope it is just the angle, it was sat there for quite a while.

Circle B Preserve Osprey

Second attempt at adding another photo of the Osprey.
I didn't realize it wasn't a JPG!

I went to Circle B Preserve in Lakeland last week with friends.
I took some photographs of an osprey when I looked at the photographs on my computer I noticed something wrong with it's eye.
Has any one any ideas what the problem is?
