You're right, they are tilted. I don't know why I keep doing that. Got to pay more attention or get a screen with lines ;-) Horse too dark? Not here.

SignatureFocus >>>>> http://atlantic-diesel.com/ >>>>> [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > And that's exactly what it was. A dark horse. What's the problem? None here. It was someone else that apparently thinks all horses are light colored. My family owned four horses on their ranch: one the color of the one in your picture but with a darker mane; a brown one with a white blaze, a mare the color of a brand new penny (hence her name: Penny--US pennies used to be pure copper)) and her foal, exactly identical to her mother. Horses come in about as many colors as dogs (but eat much more). Allen >>>>>> http://atlantic-diesel.com/ >>>>>> [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > pennies used to be pure copper)) and her foal, exactly identical to her > mother. Horses come in about as many colors as dogs (but eat much more). True. I did quite a lot of horseback riding myself when I was wearing a younger man's clothes ;-) Maybe I'll do it again sometime. Should be quite nice here in Portugal with all the beaches, hills and rocks. I had two Great Danes: not only the size of a small horse, but the eat as much too ;-) SignatureFocus >> http://atlantic-diesel.com/ >> [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Marco Horse l;ooked fine on my monitor.

Yes, the 17-85 IS. This chapel really stands in the middle of a crop field. No idea what they were thinking. You see a lot of abandoned churches and chapels here. Some one-horse-villages will have three churches! But nothing is broken down. just abandoned. I like that: gives me plenty of subjects to photograph. SignatureFocus > http://atlantic-diesel.com/ > Comments welcome, as usual. Those are very nice examples of the capability and versatility of the much attacked EF-S 17-85 IS (i assume you used that lens?) ... tack sharp images and good color rendition, 4 and 5 are my favorites. Well done.

Well done. Thanks! For example at Fred Miranda you can read some very positive reviews of professionals, so I guess it's not so bad. I had the Nikon 18-135 and the 18-70, but I think this one is sharper and more useful with the IS. And now you get 50 euro back from Canon, so the price is excellent too.

I got the Aus equivalent of ~200 Euro back on my 17-85IS, and I still think it was way overpriced compared to many other lenses. Thankfully the number of competing camera's with built in IS has caused Canon to reduce the price premium for IS on their latest kit lenses. Let's face it, the 17-85IS is not L series quality. If it wasn't for Photoshop lens correction it would be almost unusable at 17mm IMO. MrT. >>> http://atlantic-diesel.com/ >>> Comments welcome, as usual.

Focus, I want to tell you that I've looked at a lot of your pictures from Portugal. The result is that I want to go there. Let people gripe about tilted (the easiest fix of all in photo editors), differences in perceiving colors on their monitors vs. yours, etc, but they make me want to go there. Please consider this a very high compliment. Allen >>>> http://atlantic-diesel.com/ >>>> Comments welcome, as usual. [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] >want to go there.

Nick >>>>> http://atlantic-diesel.com/ >>>>> Comments welcome, as usual. [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > > I agree with your post about Focus' photography. He is very talented. Thank the both of you. I'm a little speechless: so far nobody has made such nice complements. You keep me going and inspire me to achieve even higher goals! Thanks again. If any of you want to come to Portugal, I'll be happy to get you settled and show you around. It will be a time you'll never forget or regret. (Should it be OR or NOR?). SignatureFocus > (Should it > be OR or NOR?). 'neither here nor there' Means whatever the object, it is NOT at either place. Note that the 'nor' is used with a negative 'neither'. 'either here OR there' Means the object IS at one location or the other. Sorry for my crude explanation. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/nor mike >>>>>> http://atlantic-diesel.com/ >>>>>> Comments welcome, as usual.

Unfortunately, I am no longer able to travel, thanks to arthritis and back problems. But that doesn't mean that I wouldn't _like_ to. Allen >>>>>>> http://atlantic-diesel.com/ >>>>>>> Comments welcome, as usual. [quoted text clipped - 32 lines] > problems. But that doesn't mean that I wouldn't _like_ to. > Allen Sorry to hear that, Allen. Back problems I've had since I was 29 when I lifted a billiard table and twisted my back; from time to time it's back and I can hardly move. And I got rheumatism, but here in Portugal it's much better. Specially when it's very warm. I lived in Holland before: very wet and cold. I hardly came out of the house anymore and pain was my only buddy. It sometimes seems unfair: as we get older and wiser (well, at least we should ;-), we can't do what we want to anymore. The trick is to see what we *can do*, not what we can't and get the most out of it. After all, it's just one big school; a lifelong term of learning.

Well done. The first EF-S 17-85 batch had some flaws (I got one then). Perfect lens above 23mm, around f/8 and good working IS. > http://atlantic-diesel.com/ > > Comments welcome, as usual.

Sorry Dog, I forgot that is your job but I still don't see where I mention being a spokesperson for 25m.

It still seems to me that I can tell exactly how tall you are by looking at your pictures. :-) Even test shots do not have to all be in landscape format taken at eye level by a standing photographer. The 40D should work out well for you.

When I get down on my knees or lower I might not be able to get back up again! Very annoying. SignatureWaddling Eagle World Famous Flight Instructor |
