    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Thanks Harry, this gopher just posed for me, I was quite close.
    I had a coyote do the same for me today but I had my camera settings wrong and ruined a perfect front shot with camera shake. Doh! Live and learn :D

    Nice gopher photo........how do you know it is not a large rat? Because it is where it is and not in NYC? rolleyes1.gif

    You know this live and learn thing? I have lived and learned long enough, with the Rebel and now the 20D, that a certain percentage of my settings will be wrong a certain percentage of the time.

    I have never shot different type subjects before. With the different lighting. I am not in my old comfort zone, and there is so much to remember, even with it written down, I am going to screw it up a certain percentage of the time. Sad isn't it.

    Have I mentioned, yet, in this thread, that I bought Noise Ninja last night. Tested it first and tested Neat Image. But I can screw things up that nothing can fix, and I can do it on a regular basis, with different settings.....

    ginger cute, rat, squirrel, lost gerbil.........uh gopher? I thought they were bigger.
    After all is said and done, it is the sweet tea.
