@Steve - I
Thanks Rich! I think it
So it's not just a "tax" related claimable bokeh issue.[:)]
On my 7D I'm leaning towards a 50mm, I am considering taking a gamble with the Sigma, the price difference is only about $100 here on either the Canon 50mm 1.4 or the Sigma 50 mm 1.4. They say if you get a good one you are lucky. I know yours is the 1.2, I'm going to rent one of them just to confuse the issue.
Then there is that long awaited Sigma 85mm 1.4 at about half the price of the Canon 85mm 1.2. Everyone says never renta 1.2 cause it will cost you big time.
Thought I would attach another photo of the "Lesser known, short front legged, long tailed, hopping dears" not my pets, but grazing at a vineyard just around the corner from my house. These evil eyed ones were spotted tonight on the way home. Going to try for some daylight pics, soon.

Trust me. All of my camera expenses are "business expenses" as I either depreciate or flat out expense them.Quote:

This is Leroy Brown the most scared Italian Greyhound around. He is warily checking out a Magpie on the roof. He is carrying a few extra pounds, becaus he likes to eat when he gets nervous.

@ssvs04:
Nice shots, but one suggestion: if you
Appreciate the tips. But on that last shot that type of look was on purpose. My intent was to make it look like the horse was curious.
I do not currently belong to any pets, but here's a couple of shots of pets in my ex-wife's family:
http://img834.imageshack.us/img834/6...screen1022.jpg
The first shot was taken with EOS 5D Mk.II and EF 16-35 f/2.8 L Mk.II. Next one: same camera with EF 70-200 f/4 IS L.

This guy just rolled on his back in freshly cut grass.
Here is another couple from my recent visit in Europe, where my family lives. These were shot with the EOS XTi and the kit zoom EF-S 18-55 f/3.5-5.6.

That is one terrific shot! How many bones did you have to pay out? :)
Not exactly the sharpest, or what not but here she is, Sleeping kitty.

The photo below is from when she came to us brought from outside as a stray! She was found near her deceased mother, and she had no where to stay! How could anyone in the sane mind not want to adopt this precious little kitty! My wife asked me if it would be okay to adopt another "child",asked because I had already proclaimed we do not need another animal in our home, because it was getting chaotic around our home, so that would only add to the already hectic schedule we kept, but then, I was told the story,and I saw the her cellphone shot photo, I just couldn

Featured here,is Buttercup, he was brought to us via a crai*glist ad that we usual would have flagged,in order to avoid people posting animals for sale that would usually be in an irresponsible way, yet here we ended up with this little guy! He was found near death with his poor little body head first drowned in a pool of filth at a waste facility! He was give IV to warm up his blood, and brought to life by a vet with a huge heart, as I believe all animal caretakers have! The fantastic part of this story is that the person who found this poor animal has a daughter that worked for the vet named, and she herself is training to become an animal doctor as well! This pup was sadly but thankfully in the right place at the right time! Thank you animal lovers for all of your fantastic work! :)

7D, Sigma 85mm f/1.4 @ 1/30, f/1.6, ISO 400, handheld
Americo,
I like the 2nd shot!
The first 1st and the 3rd, I don't know. The puppy is OOF. In the first the snout seems to be more in focus than the eyes. I would suggest the eyes being in focus. The third shot...I'd rather see the puppy than the pumpkin...[:D]
Like you B&Ws

Do you shoot manual mostly?
Damian
Thank you, Damian. I do shoot manual most of the time. I cannot believe this came out as well as it did. I seem to need to use a tripod more with the Sigma than I did with the Canon. Not having IS on a slightly heavier lens is a challenge for me.

Have you always gravitated to M mode or did you start in Av or Tv and graduate to M. I, personally, seem to gravitate to Av mostly and use my Quick Control Dial to adjust exposure as I see fit. What are the advantages for you with using M. I am not "there" yet...so to speak.
BTW, I think you have a great eye and are a natural and enjoy your photos very much. Keep up the good work!
Damian
ps. you're too modest....[;)]. You have a lot of talent.
With my Rebel I was relying on AUTO too much so when I got the 7D I just went straight to Manual and just kept using it. I do use TV once in awhile but not often. When I take photos of my dogs, I'm getting pretty used to about where I need to be at with each one, although having a black dog, white dog & a buff colored one, it is sometimes challenging outside. I'll take a shot of the white one in the sun, then turn to take one of the black dog in the shade ...I'm constantly changing settings sometimes!
My worst habit is forgetting to switch out of AL SERVO when I don't need it!
Denise
BTW - Sometimes I get in moods of wondering why I try to do this at all so thank you SO MUCH for the compliments!!! [:D] [:D] [:D]
