groomer Posted July 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 my first official pics with a dslr.went to rimouski yesterday morning and bought a dslr.well ,i wanted that canon ,but the price for a 300 mm lens (L series )was a bit too expensive for my budget.1800.00$$ + taxes.here in pq ,sales taxes is 16 %.thanks to both of our governments :angry: :angry: ha !! ha !! so , ive been in a hurry all day.wanted to be at the camp around 4 pm.arrived close to 5 pm.time to put the strap,filters on lens,load the batteries etc ,etc ,i was late for supper.hurried up to drink my bottle of wine ,ha !! ha !!so , i left for my moose run at 7 30 pm.already 45 mins late. did nt even read the instructions for the camera .when i left, forgot to put more iso on the camera .so when i saw that female with 2 calves ,i knew right at the beginning i was way too low .spent 15-20 mins with them.mom was 30 ' in front of me.just too bad ,don t see that everyday 2 calves.then , i saw another female a few mile later. so i bought ,a nikon d-90 with a 300 mm lens and the small one is 18 /105 mm.i have a very good base with my 2 old 35 mm.i just need to study all those butttons and functions. btw ,when i arrived at the camp ,surprise!!! since a few weeks i had left a cartoon box(empty) on the porch.so that cartoon box was on the lawn ,all destroyed !! so, checked that a little bit closer.a bear went on the porch and ''scratched '' both patio doors.can see the trace of the nails on the window.even scratched the paint on the frame of the patio door a bit. better not come back in the yard of the camp if i m there ,it s going to be '''booooooooom''.we don t like bears and coyotes here. decided to come back in town late last night ,huge party this week end.saw 4 more mooses on the way back .3 females + 1 bull . groomer !!!

smclelan Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 Glad to hear you got your new camera! You will have to stay out of the wine until you get it figured out, a couple of those look a little fuzzy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groomer Posted July 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 ha !! ha !! ha !! don t worry about that !! i noticed that the nikon is way heavier than the sony.like i said on the other post ,i knew i was way too low (iso ).so , it s not time to look at the instructions manual when you have 3 mooses in front you !!! ps :you should nt laugh at newbie .....................with a dslr !!! last night went to party and met a friend of mine(co-owner at the camp) .he works in port -cartier .he told me that the guys on the north shore use a 2 x 4 or 2 x 6 and put a lot of nails on them .they install that under the windows to avoid bears breaking into their camp.tough for their feet. the ''ship '' just over the ''forks ''(salmon pool) ,causapscal river . groomer !!!

groomer Posted August 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 Are these the falls you, Bob and I walked into?? oui,les meme chutes !! ha !! ha !! ya ,same water falls. when i arrived there , i was trying to remember if we had started walking from near causapscal river or we had stopped about a quarter mile before arriving to the river and went down the mountain. i started from near the river and took near half an hr to go there.did nt want to get my boots too wet.about mid way up ,there was a land slide mixed with trees across the brook.had to jump over those trees .on the way back , i walked all the way down in the brook to save time and to avoid branches off the brook.i had left my keys in the switch of my 4 w and i had my chainsaw on the front carrier. pic 4 ,don t like that sunny spot on the upper left side. pic 5 .not enough constrat , imo !! too much white!!! groomer !!!
