First post with new camera...


Recommended Posts

First off I would like to thank everyone for the advice. I plan to add some new lenses to the arsenal at some point soon, but for now am quite happy. The wife and I went down to the Como Conservatory for the St.Paul Winter Carnival Orchid Show. Keep in mind, I am rookie to the gills. I'm still learning how to use the camera, I had far more fails than I did good ones messing with all the settings, but I did like how many turned out. Please feel free to critique, or just kinda enjoy, I know I had fun taking them. All taken with a Cannon t5i, Tameron 18-270..

Way to go Deitz! Both sets look fine and you will see ways to improve with practice, both with the camera itself and your photos! Its nice to actually be looking at flowers instead of snow! I'm glad the camera is working out for both of you, keep sharing your work.

For sure some improvement needed.. I tried to take some picts of water fall and wanted to do the water blur thing I see you guys do so well.. Mine not so much.. this was best of those, and far from good.. For those in the know.. … .. Was this because I had slowed the frame rate or whatever its called, and was shooting hand held because they said no tri pods or mono pods?

DD the shutter speed of the camera determines how much you freeze the motion. So a shutter speed of 1/60s will allow for more movement in the photo then say 1/1000s. With silky smooth water shots you really need a tripod. No other way around it. You need fairly slow shutter speeds, I like 1 second or slower depending...

There are a lot of variables that come into to play. You will learn them fast, keep shooting, posting and asking! The digital learning curve is so quick because you get instant feedback. When I started back in the late 70's you had to wait for film to develop!

    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • 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.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • 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.
    • 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.
