Bret, this shot of Spike is truly your best!  Look at the detail of his
feathers.  The color is drop-dead gorgeous!  Superb shot!  Congrats!

I think I know what he is saying in this shot:  "don't even THINK about
it!  Thanksgiving is for turkeys NOT blue heron"!  LOL.

Why do you persist in publicizing this stuff here? There *is* a
rec.photo.equipment.digital group you know.

Because she*) is clueless? CapsLock always seem to be stuck when
writing headlines too.

Sweden. But of course my assumption could be wrong.

Yeah, I'm the one that's clueless.  LOL!

That's so that all my fans can easily find my posts.

We are such dedicated fans of Spike that we can even find his pics from
command prompt.  Keep em coming!!!

Your assumption is wrong, but close.  HE's a big fan of Annika Sorenstam...

'This stuff'?  name anybody else whose images are consistently as good
as Bret puts up - and he was posting here before the digital groups
were a reality.  There's the doers and the knockers.  Where are your images?

Yes. Bret's images are an inspiration.....Sometimes, when he posts a really
spectacular one, I grab my camera and go out to see what I can get, even if
it's pouring down rain....He has sold a hell of a lot of film to me, even
though his images are digital in origin......

Yeah I must've been in a bad mood when I wrote that. I did retract it straight
away, in my defence, but it is still out there.

But why does it have to be related to the 20D?

My images are all at home. They are not digital I'm afraid. This is an
'equipment' NG so I suppose I could be forgiven for expecting an equipment
discussion instead of "hey look at my pictures!".

But I got over it and retracted it.

Arguments are more convincing if illustrated.

Well, there's plenty of technical discussion on equipment topics, and
personally I consider that since the end result of equipment is images,
they are on topic (and as digital cameras are mostly evolutions of 35mm
film cameras, and use the same lenses, they fit into this equipment
group as well).

> But I got over it and retracted it.

OK, Richard, kudos for your honest reply.  Few on the groups have the
guts to do that.

I have to confess that most of my images haven't been on the net either,
and I don't have the excuse that they are film, as I shoot 100% digital.
 I just seem never to get around to setting up on a site like Pbase.
But even so, I don't think I could manage the sheer number of good shots
that Bret exhibits {:-(

Do you have a 20D? Or maybe get the newer model and call yourself Colin
30D.

You're a mind-reader.  I currently have a 300D, lusting after a 30D,
problem, price here $2,500.  Hard to justify to my S.O. My younger
brother has just got himself a 5D and 24-105 IS USM L  As a surgeon, he
uses it to document peoples' guts!  What a waste (waist)!

Colin 300D.
