I have to confess, I turned up the saturation but the lighting was all done by the sun, and man what a climb to get to where I was standing, I was walking up a hill and he was only 5' from me but he was 12' in the tree, think of that grade.

You don't have to confess to anything,that's digital photography.If that's all you did it's much less than many do.I try as hard as I can to get a shot that does not need pp but I still end up doing a little.

Brass, I'm shooting the Canon 20D and Canon 100-400L image stabilizer most often. I have access to the three top Canon bodies and all the top fixed focal length Canon supertelephoto lenses through Canon Professional Services, and have used them and love them, but day-to-day it's the 20D and 100-400, which comes in as pro gear for less than $3,000, with the 8 Mp Rebel XT for a backup body. Most of my wide-angle work is done with the Canon 17-40L.

What are you shooting?

Canon S3 IS, I hope to upgrade for advanced hobby photography and keep the S3 IS for my day to day regular dumb photos. I want wicked awesome picture quality but nothing like the 5D (not what I call pocket change especially as a college student.) tongue.gif but I wouldn't mind selling prints at some point. I may be up in Ely this weekend, look out for me. grin.gif

How will I recognize you? grin.gif

Any of the Canon DSLRs on the market produce wicked good image quality, as long as you have glass that's up to the task. Over and over again, I tell folks to pay more attention to the glass than the body.

I know a bird shooter from Ohio who started in film and switched to digital with the Rebel XT. He couples it with Canon's excellent 500mm f4 image stabilizer (big bucks), and his images are among the best avian photography I've seen. If he dropped $4,000 on a higher-end Canon body like the 1DMk2n or 5D, not to mention the $7,000 for the 1DsMk2, he wouldn't have been able to afford that top glass.

And just think, he started out with an Olympus system! shocked.gifgrin.gif

Do you think he has a good place to photograph at North Chagrin Reservation?

      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.
