I wondered about the 5D because a few people in my Equine Photography group have it and say that they preferred the D500, which made no sense to me. I'd love to be able to buy a 5D!!

OMG, love the duck coming in for a landing and the too-cute-for-words puppy in the wrap/sling :) Oh, and the mare head shot with the wreath and mare and mom sniffing hand/nose :) :) :) Me? I love messing around with DOF ;) Thanks WMW! These were all just sort of test runs of various ideas I've been...

Butterflies!! And I love those cone flowers. Great shots! I had a mare maternity shoot and a puppy shoot, and then some pics from my holiday weekend. https://scontent-dft4-3.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/18698014_10212517114941248_7196731385727871548_n.jpg?oh=793178b06c5205ea2a1bf041c659e194&oe=59AC6C94...

I do the same as Demi- Heartgard with Nexgard.

I found that if I just mowed consistently, the weeds would die out and the grass would take over. I did fertilize as well.

It's ridiculous, the price of trucks. When I went shopping for a truck, I started looking for a used truck, but I didn't want anything over 5 years old or with terribly high mileage. Holy crap do those things hold their value!! I bought a brand new truck, that with incentives/discounts of over $10k,...

Racetrackreject

Typically a truck of that size and weight would also need a DOT permit which, in some cases, states the route they are to drive, along with the hours they are allowed to operate over that route, and any other restrictions (too dry, causing dust that impairs vision; too muddy, etc). I would maybe see...

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...

Racetrackreject

Love the photos WMW! Beautiful!! VLF- I can't remember if you like the D750 or not, but most everyone that I've talked to seems to love it. My full frame is older, D610, but I love my crop, the D500. I don't know how it would work for you since I"m not a big portraiture photographer and I still...

Just wanted to post my funny woops real quick.

What happens when you get to an event and the pen is too small to use your 70-200? You whip out your 50mm and pray. lol. #sorrynotsorry I'll try to post a few bullriding action photos that I shot with my nifty fifty in a bit. lol

Racetrackreject

I love Pebbles too, how can 12 and a half hands be too big, lol. :) I had the same question! The child is quite small for their age and mom says that he wants to learn to do everything by himself, so they want something small enough that he can tack up on his own. They are wanting 10-11 hands, pref...

I don't know about that model specifically, but I will share my experience with the Epson photo printer that I purchased. While I felt that it worked great the few times that I used it, I found that I didn't use it as much as I thought. In fact, about 6 months went by between print jobs and when I w...

BTW, if anyone is looking for an adorable, *trained* and very polite pony and can shop in TN, this little mare is delightful: https://www.dreamhorse.com/ad/2065638.html She was at my barn for a bit before moving to a more youth-oriented barn. Truly a little 12.2 unicorn. No deposit required to meet...

Racetrackreject

After a little more interaction with the pony's owners, my friend agreed that this was sounding more and more like a scam. Thanks for your input!

Racetrackreject

agree with Chancellor, stil plan to see the pony, do not expect it pulled from the market, ask them to be polite enough to let you know if it sold before they take the drive After getting more information, I found out that she wasn't asking the pony to be taken off of the market. She asked if she c...

Thanks for your input guys. I will pass along your comments to my friend.

So this happened at a Rough Stock event I was shooting. They called it Soccer Bull. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2W0zATry4s I also have the whole series in photos: https://www.facebook.com/johnnie.pierce/media_set?set=a.10212200057855019.1073741860.1184135915&type=3 One from the whole series...

I would laugh and walk away. I would never pay just to go look at a horse. This was my thought as well. Put a deposit to prove that you're serious? Yes, but a non-refundable deposit just to get an appointment to see a horse? I don't even think that's technically legal, if one wanted to take it to c...

My friend is looking for a pony/horse for her son. She found one that sounds like what she's looking for, about 4.5 hours away from where we live. She called to set up an appointment to look at the pony this weekend, and the owners said that they would require a deposit for 1/3 of the purchase price...

I wonder if he was abandoned because he wasn't "cat-like", a Siamese trait I am told. Amy Farrah Fowler isn't very cat-like, so if someone was looking for that cool, aloof, I do for myself, sort of cat, they would hate her. Of course at his age, I bet it's more likely either a life event ...

I am one of those not so into chocolate type cookies people. My 3 favorites are old fashioned sugar cookies, snickerdoodles, and lemon-basil cookies.

Every family has piles of dirty laundry that they keep to themselves. They aren't likely to share that with someone that one family member has been dating only 5 months. Especially a close-knit family. You can't really know what that oldest sister is truly like or if her behavior was typical for he...

Call the fire department, explain the situation, and see if they will bring a truck to fill the stock tanks. I've seen them do it here in Texas. If that fails, as someone who has done many days without water and electric, thanks to hurricanes, I would take coolers to wherever you can get water, fill...

Racetrackreject

Thank you. Yes, everything is going to be done slowly, a glacial pace even. I feel like parts of his family are pushing for more, faster, but he's not the sort you can rush.

Racetrackreject

Well, I'm wondering the age of everyone because it seems so immature and I'm not speaking of you Racetrackreject. Is this a serious relationship? I'm wondering (from my own experience) because things like this don't tend to get any better. The sister sounds like a jealous piece of work who could ma...

Racetrackreject

He's adorable! What is his name?

Racetrackreject

Thank you for the responses. My gut said to be cool and aloof, but I was afraid of how the family would take the aloof part. They are all quite close and I'm afraid that perceived tension would look bad on my part. It's sort of hard to explain the dynamics of the family. They are a rural family wher...

I'm at SO's house 1 to 3 times a week, generally. My adult autistic brother lives with me and it's less upsetting to him if I go there; doesn't interrupt his routine. SO comes here almost every Tuesday, but doesn't stay over.

Racetrackreject

The older sister lived away, but moved back 2 days before the wedding. She now lives with SO's mother (her mother), which is just down the road from SO.

SO and I do not live together; we see each other multiple times a week, and live about an hour apart.

My SO's youngest sister was married this past weekend. While I knew 2 of his sisters already and get along with them very well, I had not met his oldest sister (younger than him but oldest of the 3). When the youngest sister introduced us at the rehearsal dinner, what proceeded was not nice, nor wel...

VLF can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe what you are going to need for outdoors is fill light and a reflector, something to remove the shadows that are being cast. Then you can bring down the exposure without losing parts of the image. You can also shoot with the sun at an angle behind, but o...

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.

Just in reference to the term "snowflake". I saw this posted the other day and thought that it was pretty good. I think of the marches every time I read this. "I am not a liberal snowflake. My feelings aren't fragile, my heart isn't bleeding. I am a badass believer in human rights. My...

I'm in my 40s as well, and I gained a fair amount of weight while still getting what had previously been enough exercise through working on the farm, taking care of the horses, running, etc. I had a friend who is a big gym goer tell me that I probably needed to start doing work with weights, so I tr...

I agree! Quail are the silliest of birds and they even make silly noises.

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.

RTR, I like them very much. I'd get the contrast up a bit (as they seem a little "overexposed" (and maybe you just didn't get there yet)). I really like the top one. My "style" with casual and informal and that soft expression looking away from the camera. In the photos, the bri...
