I’m learning a different camera and lens. Canon 60D and 50 mm fixed focus lens. First 50 shots or so…it was whoa, where’d all that light come from! I was overexposing like crazy. I got a bit better. This was taken in shade in manual mode.
Much has been talked about and written of late about a disturbing trend evident at dog shows: poor sportsmanship. We’ve all heard comments such as

As scandal brings new urgency to the question, here are some resources to help you decide.
This Friday, Ruby and I went back into the show ring; our first since getting her championship in October 2016. We braved car breakdowns, snowstorms, and sleepless nights. She looked fabulous and performed brilliantly. Here she is, relaxing like Cleopatra on her handmade tiger bed.
“In Ireland, a Climate Emergency Measures Bill, which has already passed the first stage reading will be debated this month seeks, to ban any new explorations for oil, coal, and gas on Irish territory. It’s something that we need here, too, just for starters.

And 81% supported strong action even if it requires making considerable changes that impact on our current living standards.
Another survey in the US, UK, Canada and Australia found that 54% rated the risk of our way of life ending within the next 100 years at 50% or greater, and a quarter rated the risk of humans being wiped out at 50/50 or greater.

Here’s a little video of me trying to build up the value for her.
