Me too. I also separated from John around Christmas and moved back in with my parents. 2019 has got to be better one way or another!

When I had my horses in my care, I went regardless.

Now, I might show up once a month with money in hand. I just feel like crap 99% of the time and have no energy for most of life.

I was stefffic on the UDBB. I still have Star, though she's fully retired due to my dysatunomia. My life has taken some turns this year I never saw coming and I can't ride, I can't run, and my quality of life has taken some serious hits. We're down to three kitties, we lost Viscount Leftfield three ...

Which other board? Coth?

I hope you're doing better physically, too Linden, I remember you had some physical issues way back when. Jingles for you and I hope things get better.

I'm so rarely on anymore, life is just too crazy. You're welcome to call me Chancellor and I'll walk you through settings or when I'm in CT for my wedding in the spring I have to meet you and your crew, I don't mind giving you some lessons then.

I have owned the 28-105 2.8 and 24-70 2.8 Tamron and I'll never own another Tamron product, both were very soft at the wide angle end and slow to focus. I'm not a fan of the 70-200 Tamron, either. Their products just don't handle low light or action well, IME. I buy Sigma lenses, though!

OMG you guys, the D5 is the most amazing camera I've ever held. It puts both the D750 and D500 to shame in speed and snappiness and sharpness. The ISO is out of this world.

I'm in love. And, I'll post a few pictures from it after I edit!

Black Rapid is the brand name of sling straps. They screw into the tripod mount. I use a different brand harness, but have black rapid screws that hook to my harness. I'm still at a loss which camera replaced the D700. :( So sad! I also use the Black Rapid screws. But one thing I do when I'm in a h...

I'm renting a D500, hubby rented it, loved it except the battery issue. I'm torn between the D810 and D500 being a 'replacement' Depending on which battery issue, it's not an issue anymore. If you're talking about only using Nikon batteries, then yeah, that's an issue still. If you're talking about...

My D750 is great, but it's not the heavy, sturdy steel pro body the D700 was. Looks like both are totaled, so I guess it'll be a new D750 and a new something I can't decide on at this point.

We're mid wedding season and crazy busy. But, word of warning to those that use black rapid straps or the black rapid screws. Loctite them in and replace them annually. Both my primary bodies appear to be totaled from a screw failure. I'm trying to figure out what would replace my beloved d700 right...

One of the fun tractor like trikes? A cowboy outfit? Do the parents have any suggestions? We're strictly Montessori at home with wooden toys and toys that require imagination, so the parents might have ideas for what they'd like.

Or, books. Books are always a great gift!

I am still in the contest. OMG, how!?!? And, I'm interviewing today with a local studio that shoots environmental school portraits and pays $35/hr, they only book weekday mornings and if I get this it would take a lot of pressure off me with booking and let me slow down a bit. I really want to pull ...

I entered 50 images in shoot and share. Last year I placed 43rd in the wedding couple catagory, who knows this year!

I wish I could get this Brenzier to load from Christmas eve, it's too big but it's freaking amazing!

The top one the crop is awkward at her arm and I don't like the hair covering her eye. The bottom one rocks. They look a bit cool and overexposed on my calibrated screens. Vignette isn't really in style right now in wedding photography, but weird fake film edits are. :lol: Thanks! I'll see if I can...

VLF, RTR, et al. Your thoughts/opinions on using Auto ISO vs manually setting ISO for Aperture priority landscape/bird photography?? I see no benefit to both Auto ISO and AP. I shoot Auto ISO in tough light because the camera makes better snap decisions than I do. I shoot AP when I have a migraine,...

I can take a selfie in the dress in the morning, I've got to wear it tomorrow for a wedding.

I went and looked at their website and I found a few things that might work. Have you ordered any of their knit dresses? There is one that I like but the material says knit, so I wasn't sure about it. I just haven't found anything that has jumped out at me and said "yes, this is the dress!&quo...

No wedding colors! If you wanted to you could rent something from Rent the Runway or have a custom made from Eshakati, both would run you under $100 and I dearly love my Eshakati dresses. Try Eshakati. I'm really short waisted, large chested, and huge ass - they make dresses to fit me WITH POCKETS....

I'm Stephanie Dohmlo on Facebook

We went with That Wandering Light. The switch over is soooooo much work!

You might find the Eats on Feets or Human Milk 4 Human Babies in your area, those would be amazing for shipping and storing breastmilk!

viscountessleftfield

Oh, if we're friends on FB I'm doing a 365 project - he has an album for his picture a day!

WMW I'm thinking of Wanderer at Heart Photography or That Wandering Light Photography - both cover the two locations and love for destination weddings pretty well, IMO. I also like The Whimsical Pony Photography but I got out voted on that name! I went over to help a friend with OCF today and Austin...

If he's interested I'll probably buy a second pony. Peeps is fine in the arena, but she's too pushy on the ground for a little one. I can't wait for him to actually be able to ride!

Austin met the pony today!

I believe you can have UPS pick up your gear. We always took it to the package store in town for return, but had things shipped to our house. WMW - I saved $800 per body buying grey market, for that savings I can fix a lot of stuff or just buy a new body. Right now I run three full frames, we need a...

I wasn't suggesting the 200-500 for weddings or indoor events, just for wildlife. The pro wildlife guys are snatching these things up as a lighter and cheaper alternative to the 500 f4. I was actually looking at getting the Sigma 150-600mm and the photoshop guy said that since I was using the D500,...

We run aftermarket batteries, none of which will work in the rental D500s. Which sucks! WMW, both my D750s are gray market, so no recall repairs for me. I'll live with it until she needs to go in for service. Yes the no aftermarket battery thing had me annoyed at first, but I think I've gotten all ...

Suzon - there are a lot of photographers having card failure issues with the 5D Mk IV. One of my friends rented one for a month but is waiting to buy another 1Dx Mk whatever. VLF, good to know!!

They look great Fergus!

I lost my special cat last year to lung cancer and I was curled up on the floor of the vets office after we put her to sleep. It was the hardest decision I've ever had to make. I'm so sorry about Hope, it's tough to lose them so quickly and after such a short time together.

So scary! My horses got out when I was on vacation a few years back by catching the chest clip/neck clip on the wire, freaking out, dragging an entire line of fence down and ripping themselves free of the wire. It was horrible. My blanket was one of the V neck adjustable neck blankets and it was the...

I haven't been around much this fall - it's the busiest we've ever been, throw in a baby, an auto immune flare, a case of pneumonia (me), the flu (hubby), tummy surgery (baby), a car accident, and that's where we are.

Here's a few of my little man, I'll post a few of our recent clients, too.

We have broadband at both houses and use at least 10gig on our mobile devices. I'm moving from our Ohio house because I can not get fast enough internet to run the business on the island.

We're relocating back to the mainland.

I think auto exposure should still work. I can use auto exposure on 70's era manual lenses, so I don't see why it wouldn't work.

Austin is great, he's sleeping in his wrap on my chest. I just got home from a wedding, so it's nice to have some baby cuddles before bed!

You'll lose sharpness and quality with the extension tube. I believe AF still works, but VR doesn't. However, I own nothing with VR and I don't own an extension tube. You know what is a sweet lens that's pretty cheap - 180 F2.8 prime. I rented that beast last month and loved it. It's an older "...
