Sigh indoor lighting for products just doesn't work out for me.

Sadly I just can't get my new sigma 105mm to work on my D7000. Either camera won't turn on or if I get it turn on it won't focus. I have the aperture locked properly and figured out the af/mf but my camera doesn't like it or I'm lacking knowledge and need help so no playing for me tonight. I couldn't find a manual online so will have to give camera store a call tomorrow. However my 24mm 2.8 Nikkor works perfectly and I'm excited to get out and point at the skies if they ever clear up. 24mm is a super nice heavy little lens and glass in amazing condition although missing the locking switch so got a greta deal.

So late night white poster board underneath and held up behind as well, terrible yellowish dining room light above and my Sb-700 finality got the shot clear although yellowed so thats tonights terrible attempt at an indoor photo

FOUND THIS ON THE INTERNET - Thanks everyone for your response. I did call Sigma again, this time I got a guy named Ebbie, he told me the lens needed a firmware update. I live 30 miles from the factory so I drove out. Ebbie was extremely understanding and very courtious. He took the lens in the back for about 5 minutes if that long, and brought it back on a D7000. It worked fine. I put it on my D7000 and I have my 3 year old 105 back in service on my D7000, and yes there was no charge.

Thanx Nikonpup I found that as well and asked the store about it. I'm sending the lens back and she's going to check it on a D7000 when she gets it back at the store in Vancouver. She thinks the firmware update is only needed on the older lenses but I can't see any other reason why I couldn't get it to work on my camera. So she's going to try it out and look into it. I would still like it if we can get it to work and she knows that. It's a royal pain living so far from a city that has a camera store. It's 600Kms on Hwy south to city where Sambr lives or 750kms on Hwy East to next province to find a city where I'd find a camera store so not an afternoon drive :(

Cocoa is a wonderful cuddly Newfy girl but when she's flopped on my kitchen floor and I have to step over her or she gets a bit too excited and accidentally hip checks you as you try to walk on the ice or even on solid ground you are going down there is no doubt about it! Then once you're down she'll assume you need lots of love and kisses Ewww :) But the kids love to use her as a fluffy warm pillow as they watch cartoons. We call her Beast out of love only hehe when she decides she is a lap dog trust me she is a beast.
Snapped these yesterday as she sat beside me in the van, yes I look up at her when I'm sitting

She really is nothing but huggable sweetness and love

Glowing pony love in the shadows

Wish she was in the shadowy side and not shadowing him but like their pose anyways. I tried from another angle but back ground was awful and the moment was lost.

Meant to post this in Day #19 post but uploaded the wrong photo Oops

Deezy He does love her but I never seem to have my camera ready at the right time. Although they were probably making eyes about the lady who brings the hay with the scary black thing that makes terrifying clicking sounds LOL

I was using my 70-300mm because the horses do not like my shutter at all and the alpacas are not particularly interested in being too close to people
