Wolves and the 7D.

[JayinMN]

I upgraded from the 30D to a 7D this weekend and had the fortune to testing it out on some wolves. Its settings are a little different then the 30D so I need to play around a bit more before I quite fumbling around.

I have a lot more pictures of this one that I may post later. I am irritated with Photoelements 6. It does not like my 7D files.

This poor guy has a bad case of mange.

Great adventure and great shots! Looks like you and the 7D were made for each other!

[Steve Foss]

Sweet photos, Jason!

1st off,excellent captures Jason! I am so jealous!

2nd,what type of trouble are the 7D files giving you in elements?

[dockothebay]

WOW - very cool!!!!

[JayinMN]

It says they are the wrong type of file and cannot be opened. I shot in RAW and they are saved as CR2.

I went and downloaded the updates and played around with adding the plugins with no luck. So as of now I view them in Zoombrowser, convert from raw to jpeg in Canons Digital Photo Professional and then once they are jpegs I can down size them in Elements. Talk about a pain in the butt!

I will now shoot in jpeg.

[MARINERMAGNUM]

Well,depending on how much puter you're running,I wouldn't blame you for shooting in jpeg. Those raw files are huge. I upgraded to a new puter a few weeks ago that made shooting wildlife in raw practical again,before it was too slow handling 20mb files. I'm running 16GB of ram and a Phenom II quad core,so it tosses those raw files around like toys.

Did you upgrade to ACR 5.6? When I did,I had to do the manual install-it wouldn't work the auto route.

Awesome shots Jason!! Were these all wild wolves??

[JayinMN]

I have not tried ACR 5.6 yet. I'll have to wait till I get over to my parents to download it. Living in the sticks has its disadvantages as far as internet goes. I top out at about 25 kpb but its better then dial up.

I bought a 500gb external hard drive for all my photo files so I can keep them off my computers hard drive.

Thanks Jeremy, they are wild wolves. They were actually with in a couple miles of each other. Its interesting how the one looks great and the other is so mangy.

Ok,that explains it. ACR 5.6 will handle the 7D's raw files,earlier versions won't.

NICE SHOTS!! The first picture says " your in my yard now - mine your manners!"

[Hwood]

To cool. I have been out a few times this winter looking to get some shots of wolves, and moose. Tracks are the best I have done.

I told him that I heard the 7d was so awesome, it would even find the critters. It appears I was right. These shots would be worth driving hundreds of miles for. Awesome, Jay.

[HawgMan]

Nice shots! Not much snow where there at compared to down here.

Thanks for sharing!!

[Canon Guy]

What can I say? Holy cow!

Congratulations on the new camera. Very nice captures.

Great shots Jason and congrats on the upgrade.
