    Yea, wishing I hadn’t jumped the gun and got the 60D, it isn’t a bad camera, much better then the T3 I was using at first heh. I actually just ordered a speedlite the other day! Cannot wait to put it through its paces.

    I think I have the exif data. >_< haha, just need to remember what hard drive they were stored on. I know I shot raw+jpeg. Was shooting in manual at the time. I did have a 75-300mm on as well as some of the birds I was shooting were a ways away. This heron didn’t mind me getting close, but couldn’t get to close. Didn’t want to risk him flying away so I didn’t switch lenses. @CC those are really gorgeous shots. I wish I had a chance to go back overseas. Mainly to Okinawa. They have some very gorgeous scenery. *edit* also! If I cannot find them I blame Facebook for stripping my exif data, I was always critical of my work and worried what others thought. But ya know what! It really wasn’t that bad. It is nice to have critics as it only makes you better *isn’t always the case for some faux’s who never learn* I just hope I don’t fall in that catergory haha!

    That’s the 75-300 lens I have. Came as a bundle when I purchased my original body, thankfully this tax season=my money going to better lenses. Until then I have access too my partners glass. So it works out. And it is doubly effective because I can purchase lenses we don’t have and just add to the collection! I am actually getting ready to go out to the beach here in a few minutes and see if I can get a sharper picture, those heron pictures are sadly almost a year old! I was very hesitant about posting my work to a forum like this! But gosh darn I am glad I did! You all are very welcoming :). And most of all! Very understanding and I am very appreciative; you have taken the time to answer questions and provide me with answers 😀

    Thankfully no, he was not chained down! I would have felt horrible. This was one of those shoot it or lose it moments, but I could have composed it better absolutely. I did however find these two from the same bird! I was rummaging around my folder! Hopefully >.< they aren’t as bad! http://www.flickr.com/photos/105269791@N02/10317200333/lightbox/ The only thing I can figure out as to why the blur is on the beak is due to the lens I was using, the Heron did let me get right up on him; but I had my 75-300 attached. And didn’t have time to swap lenses before he flew off.  And the other one! http://www.flickr.com/photos/105269791@N02/10317023825/

    As far as lenses go between us we have a Tokina 11-16 wide angle, *He uses this for his videography* 18-55, 75-300, 50mm prime. And a few more I cannot recall off the top of my head. Yes! Haha queen it up. Butch guy going flamboyant makes for some hilarious incidents. And as far as assisting oh no, I wouldn’t dare pick up a camera until I saw what they are doing. I get to pick his brain when we are at work so its a nice resource to have. But to back track I usually use the 50mm. Unless its birds then it is the 75-300. Not at home atm to get the specs of the glass. *Ninja edit* I don’t put all my pictures online I do have a folder devoted to the Florida wild life however. :). Still learning and all the comments are wonderful!

    The little girl is my sisters friend’s daughter. @The sushi, yes it was replaced with a white background and touched up a bit by their website producer; that was SOOC. The only nice thing about that shoot is we got to shoot their whole menu and eat every single thing they produced. Good enough for me! I also see what you are saying about the Dobie, /hangs head in shame. How could I have gotten the bird sharper? *Not being sarcastic* I would really like to know! If I remember I know I set my AF point onto his head, I probably should have been in MF for that shot eh?

    I am indeed a guy! Ha-ha, I think I have a headshot I got at the beach one day. I’ll post a link to it. http://www.flickr.com/photos/105269791@N02/10311112846/ I was walking down the pier and saw the light hitting the side of her face and her smile was infectious. I snapped it and didn’t even ask, just kept on walking ha-ha! My partner (Boyfriend) also does photography. More videography, multimedia design then anything. So I have a resource right next to me which I severely under utilize. And! I have an amazing resource at work I just found out about. >.> I would link their site but don’t want to get in trouble! They are in no way faux’s fakes etc. Their work is actually amazing. They are in the league of the 2500+ dollar wedding business. He even offered to take me out as second assist for the experience. Which I am going to take him up on! I recently obtained a new camera body. I figured if I wanted to get serious; it was time to get a better camera then what I had. I know the Rebel line (T3) (I know Cain uses this *shudder) Can take an amazing picture with some awesome glass behind it. But I felt insecure about pulling it out! So I went out and got myself the 60D I know, shame on me crop sensor :(. I was going to go for the 7D but since we already have one, I figured what good would it do to have Two? I compared the specs, and the 60D sits right inbetween the 7D so it wasn’t a bad investment. Once I get going and get more knowledge under my belt I plan on getting One of the MK series Canons.

    *Wipes eyebrow* Sorry for the long windedness 🙂

    Thank you Ebi for the critique, I know I need to pick one subject and stick with it. Which would be portraiture. It’s just hard in my area because of all the pop up studios who charge $35 per session. I’ve even offered to do them for free just so I could start building a folio and getting the experience down. Though that maybe the wrong way to go about it. Though I have thick skin 😛 so your words actually were very helpful 😀 and I appreciate it. I will sit down take a hard look and find ways to be less boring in my shots.

    *Waves* I just wanted to take this time and say well! Hello. I have been reading this thread from page 1… Until now, and… wow! Just WOW, is all I can say. And I feel I’ve come to know some of the personalities on this site! Especially BEG, a no non-sense person! I would post some of my work to be judged, but! Just got a new camera body, so updating my folio. 🙂
