Picture post

Because we now have kennels to transport the dogs in, Maia and I took them to the dog park, down the road from where she keeps Leus and Rudy (about six miles, it's across Hwy 101 from Cp. San Luis Obispo). I took the camera. I feel guilty that I don't take enough pictures of either her, or the dogs.

I also shot some birds. The second time out we went for a walk up to "Eagle Rock." I did some scenics while we did that, but the light was poor and most weren't worth sharing.

Before I get to the more recent stuff there's some horses. I have some other picures of Leus and Rudy, but the only horse shot here is of other animals.

If you want to see them you can just click ( the cut )

As usual, there are a lot of, largish (about 800 pixels wide, approx 100k per image) pictures behind the jump.

Next time I'll remember to take my camera day-pack, so I can add the wide-angle lens, and the macro. I did this trip with just the 28-200. My best kit for this trip would probably be the 17-35, 70-300 and the 55 Macro (which will let me get a 1:1 ratio, on film, and so might be a trifle less on digital, since it's effectively longer, and so the extension is relatively less).

Poll, about picture posts

I decided to make a poll.

Picture posts can be a pain. So I decided to take advantage of my paying for being a member of LJ (which is part of why I have pictures to post... they gave me a gig of hosting) and made a poll to get some idea of how people think about the things which I care about when I post one of these sorts of posts.

I make no promises to be more than influenced by the results. I am not going to make a filter for the pictures I post, because that sort of defeats the purpose. If you have anything detailed to say, comments are, as always, open.
