Just thought of this this morning, but since we will have a wide variety of camera's and Lenses why not have a sample shot fest.
We can stage in a line and all shoot the same subject with different lenses and different focal lengths and what not.
I would be happy to host the files on my web site so we can do a stare and compare and so forth.
Im gonna bring my Sony 707, if I can find the charger, for those animals that come up to the van
Whatcha think?

| I'll let anybody with an EOS camera borrow what I bring to do this if they want. But if you break it, you replace it! :D |

OK by me. I'm just tickled to be included in the mix.
Will this be one of those tests that require removal of the lens cap?

oh, I was not talking about swaping lenses, just we all shoot the same subject with our own camera and lenses from the same spot, you know line up the tripods in a row and just shoot something we all agree on, then we compare all the photos to see how each lens does

Laurie, you would be suprised at what your camera will do, you can look on this site for pics taken with your camera model and you will see some nice shots.
I looked at your photos in your profile and you have some good ones there.
Also at fossil rim I hope to get some good pointers from the others that will be there, this will be a great learning experience...

I've actually been kind of pleased with the camera since Santa brought it last Christmas...for a mom like me, it's been great for pics of the kids and for use at work with our students and their babies. But just reading the manual that goes with it is like trying to read, well...trying to read a technical manual (duh). I am more of a try-as-you-go person, and I can't wait to see what all I can do!!!!

Kilt and ( skean dhu (Dont' ask me what this is)
Bright orange baseball cap

I think line up the tripods.
I'll see the fedora and raise whatever is under the kilt just to make it interesting. |

Thank God you won't all be wearing, oh what was it, maid outfits, nurse's uniforms, or Hooter's girl outfits?!!!?
It's too bad that my kilt and fedora are at the cleaners...I'll just have to settle for some comfortable jeans and tennies!

Otherwise we'll have to synchronise quick release plates :)

Regarding the dress code......
I have 1 well traveled Cabella's tan safari jacket, free to a good home. Size medium. It seems it no longer fits. The 35 pounds gained since it was purchased (many years ago) have taken a final toll. My closet is now full of XL's.
So if anyone would provide adoption for a "seasoned" fotog's jacket, I would be happy to pack it. Otherwise it will end up at a garage sale and not get the respect it deserves. If free is a problem, then I will gladly accept a cold beer as equal trade value (2 if you insist). No tears, worn threads, or other signs of mis-use. Just well traveled and needs a good home. I'd even ship it to you before hand.
