Portrait of your "Best friend"

[mackguyver]

Nice shot, Dylan, and I can understand. The 1D X has a similar mode and it seems to work well with my 85 II, but I haven't tried it with the 50L yet. We are very fortunate to have "too much" gear sometimes and I guess that's what I'm hoping to avoid by passing on the Sigma and you by selling your 50L.

I went for the Paul C Buff Einstein set up after adding up the number of 580s (at the time) I'd need to overpower the sun outdoors and shoot wirelessly. The 600s change that equation a bit, but monolights worked out best for me.

That is such a good shot !

Now even I will admit you couldn't have done that on a 6D

Enjoy.

Yes he does

OT: Can anyone tell me where I change the camera info seen below my name? It currently says 'Powershot G16' (which is wrong, guess it is a default value) - but I can't see where this setting can be changed?

Hi, it's not a reflection of what camera you have, rather your 'status' (for a better word) on CR. Essentially, the more you post on CR the higher your camera model.

Mine is 1D4 as I have less than 1000 posts - one person here (aka CR Geek) is well over 10000+

Respect!

Hi Folks.
A question for the cat people here, do you sedate them to get your pics? I keep trying to get a pic for here and every time I get the camera the cat either runs away or towards me or just sticks its head to its a@&£ and cleans! :-[ Dogs understand sit and stay, cats do too they just don't care what you tell them! ;D I even put down some weed for cats (catnip) but that just gets a flurry of writhing flailing that also won't make a good picture! :
Help me get a picture of my cat, give me a clue!
Loving the pics on here, Maine Coon especially.

Cheers Graham.

I Wish!
For me it's a matter of perseverance and using the long end of my 70-200 so as not to disturb or distract them.
