haha Bill16 I've found capturing the brown beast in motion darn near impossible. Some girls just don't look pretty when they run hahaha Shutter speed 1000 in order to capture all that floppiness or she just looks like an unattractive blur LOL She runs like a bear and all that loose skin and fur in motion is not attractive
I chose the D7000 for being a bit better in the weather and I take it out all the time except when riding/working with horses or doing yucky chores. The camera was in the truck so just pulled it out to take photos and put it back in with doors closed. Hay gets into EVERYTHING! I'll have to try the buildings again during the day since it was after school (3:30-4pm) so already getting pretty dark. I tried to adjust colour a bit to make less blue but didn't look nice. Best try to it again on a brighter less blue tinged day
I have 3 young kids I know how to muli-task
Hubby and I grew up in the suburbs so hobby farm is all new learning for us. You should see my 5ft self hooking up frozen hose to kitchen faucet, out through kitchen window and hauling water with 2 5gallon buckets 120ft through the snow LOL it's usually about 4 trips a day for horses goats and then 2 trips for the waterfowl. My eldest waters his chickens and turkeys and rabbits. However, I haven't bought eggs in 3yrs, haven't bought any type of dairy product yogurt, sour cream, cheese and ice cream (except butter, goats milk naturally homogenized so butter not a real option) in over a year as I've learned to do it myself, and we grow and process our own poultry for the past 2yrs. Also have 2 gardens about 50x60ft where we grow as many things as we can in our short growing season and I can. I don't get as much time as I'd like to be able to sit down uninterrupted and learn photo stuff but I make time and just keep trying
I love learning new things. "Jack of all trades, master of nothing" but it makes life interesting
Having an easy going hubby who puts up and helps me with all my crazy ideas is a great bonus.
Hubby wasn't impressed about his truck especially since I backed in instead of going in forwards dumping and coming out. It meant getting out was near impossible with bumper down in the clay... If I'd gone the other way hooking onto trailer hitch and pulling it out would have been easy. He was more grumpy at himself for getting hurt and not being able to help me. His truck got mucky but no other harm was done. I called roadside assistance LOL and stood in complete darkness with them until they unstuck me from the back yard hehehe My sweet and sour pork with chow mein turned out great though and followed by a huge square of nanaimo bar for desert and he didn't grumble much
