Thanks Nate, there was a loose srew and fryed itself. I never dropped it, got it wet, it looked like new.


I was about to take some pictures of some humming birds in "sweet light" and I had to clear some pictures in my card, after I cleared them I put the camera to my eye and there was no lights. I looked at it and it was off, I later trouble shooted and took it apart and found a loose srew with no aparant place inside. I noticed a slight ticking noise when I shook the camera for the past month or soand I wondered what it was, now I know!


Thanks again Nate for your consideration.


John.

No animals in this one... but i just couldn't stop liking this tree... all by itself on top of a hill.[img]/resized-image.ashx/__size/800x1200/__key/CommunityServer.Components.UserFiles/00.00.00.28.47/Untitled_5F00_HDR2_2D00_2.jpg[/img]





Canon 50D + 17-40 f4 L @ 20mm f4 1/2500 ISO-100

I've gotta say it's one of these:





1. Green Anole Lizard trying to go to sleep.

Those are way cool.


Nate, sweet shot of the vulture.

The greens in that first shot really compliment each other - really nice. And detail in the shot of the dragonfly is great! Well done mate.

I had a visitor today.

All taken with the Canon S3 IS I keep by my desk just for this purpose. The only "post-processing" was to use unsharp mask in Graphic Converter after scaling to counteract the inherent softness from scaling down. Shutter speed was 1/1600; apertures f/3.5, f/5, & f/5.6; ISO 800 (was set for indoor shots & I didn't take the time to change it); focal lengths 46.3mm (35mm equivalent 278mm for the first two, 72mm (432mm equivalent) for the last. The S3 IS does pretty well for a "point-and-shoot" except in low light. It has a 6-72mm f/2.7-3.5 lens (equivalent to 36-432mm on full frame), ISO 80-800, 6 MP, and about all the "modes" (including full manual) that a Rebel will have. One major failing (fixed in its successors, the S5 IS, SX10 IS, and new SX 20 IS) is the lack of a hot shoe.

MOF_Sydney the tiger picture is especially cool I think. I love siberian tigers so that one really stands out among these pictures to me. Did I mention I love cats?
