So now can you post the original two images in the same way as this last one, with the exif intact, so we can start up where we left off lo those many days ago? gringrin

I just got back from a wedding, and I'm knackered! So, once again, old geezer signing off to go to bed, once I have all the day's images downloaded and backed up on three separate hard drives. smile

I have to wait 45 minutes for my coffee cake to get done baking, so I'll go back and repost those through Photobucket. I had a date with my hubby tonight for our 23rd Anniversary, so I'm a little late on doing my baking for church tomorrow. Hoping I'm not sleep during the service!

Shutter speed shouldn't be an issue, especially in the second one at 1/1000 second. You have a pretty narrow dof in each shot and I'm thinking the focus is missing the subject. I know you said earlier that all the focus points were on the girl in the second pic, but maybe you moved just a tad before you snapped the shot? Unless shooting a landscape, I always use just the center focus point. You are also better off setting the camera to Av instead of portrait mode and setting the aperture to something around F8 if the light allows for a decent shutter speed. Also, an ISO of 200 on sunny days or 400 with clouds is as low as you should ever have to go. The higher ISO setting will allow you to use a higher value aperture, which will give a broader dof and also a faster shutter speed, both of which are nice to have for portaits.

It must have been pretty dark conditions in the first shot. Even at your ISO of 400 and F1.8, you still weren't getting a real good shutter speed. Here is where your flash would have saved you, and I know you have one. wink

You are always better off not letting the camera do the thinking for you and avoiding the programmed exposure modes.

Thanks, Mike! I didn't want to use the flash in the arena, and spook Laura's horse. Rainy May was a little unruly that day, anyway. No use adding to the problems. grin

I changed my focus point to center focus already. I think I'll need to make a checklist before any major events with all of the help you guys have given me. When it gets crazy, I tend to forget one major setting...

I find that happening lately also, considering I haven't been using my camera much this summer. It's real easy to get out of the groove and forget to check the ISO or some silly thing. shocked

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
