Denise Wall Posted May 21, 2003 Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 For those interested, I've posted some pictures I took from the trial in the preliminary runs. The link is: http://www.pbase.com/cdwall/bluegrass_2003 There you can find thumbnails of the larger images if you want to view them. What a great trial it was!

CMalazdrewich Posted May 22, 2003 Report Share Posted May 22, 2003 Denise, Great shots! At last I've identified someone else with intersecting interests in sheepdogs and photography. Your photos were obviously taken with a shutter speed that is beyond the capabilities of my digital point'n'shoot - do you use a digital SLR (or scan from 35 mm film)? I love shooting digital, but my efforts with sheep and sheepdogs have been hopeless because action photography of any sort with a non-SLR digicam (the only type currently in my price range) is virtually impossible. Lack of significant telephoto capability is also a major limitation when it comes to trial photography, of course. I do own a film scanner, but I'm lazy about using it as it is old and slow. I lust after the nice new ones, but those in my price range are either crappy, slow (USB), or not yet compatible with Mac OS X. I know I'll end up with a digital SLR, but I'm waiting until resolution goes up a bit and prices come down a lot. For now, I should probably put my money into a fast telephoto lens and try to be patient during film scans! Anyway, long story short - if your shots are happening with a non-SLR digicam, I would love to know which one! Sincere apologies to others for whom this was a boring and off-topic post. Cheers, Christie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackacre Posted May 22, 2003 Report Share Posted May 22, 2003 Joe was the man. He made the double lift but Scott elected to run his other two dogs Tala and Pleat. That's my (ex) baby! Andrea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denise Wall Posted May 22, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2003 Andrea, I'm happy to let you have any of the pictures I took of Joe. I have at least three or four. Email me. Christie, Thanks for your kind words. The camera is a Nikon Coolpix 5700. It's considered a "prosumer" camera, not a DSLR, though definitely not a point and shoot. It's a 5 mega pixel camera and the in-camera zoom is quite good at 35 to 280 mm. I can get shutter speeds up to 1/4,000 of a sec. Most of those on the link were shot at around 1/1,000 of a sec. It will also do a three shot per second continuous burst mode that I use quite a bit for action shots. It's small enough and has the "whole package in one" enough to carry around everywhere. I love it. Denise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
