Negative!!! Everyone know the North American Hairless Beaver is this best. In both categories of taste and beauty
🤣

Link?

One needs to go to the Miscellaneous realm below for more beaver, but I think policies have changed a bit to a more conservative side.

I graciously accept the nomination! Hell Yeah they’re perving on it in private, who wouldn’t. If they say they’re not they are lying pervs!! 😉

Uhh no, beavers are better hairy!

Another thing that we agree on lol!

Great pictures, is your wife still running a digital SLR or does she run a mirrorless version ?..... what basic rig is she using for mid range work ?

My expectation is she will take a step into the mirrorless realm this year. Just a step, not a total immersion. That transition is not really a technological leap, as sensors, focusing, memory, and file structure, etc are basically the same. One has just knocked out the mirror which eliminates some noise, vibration, and probably allows more frames per second for those into action stuff. Given her investment in lenses, she'll probably stay with Canon. She has 3 Canon bodies (EOS 70D, a 5D, and a 7D).

Her bread-and-butter lenses are a couple 100-400mm zooms, and a 500mm prime. If one sticks with crop sensor bodies as opposed to full frame models (crops are essentially 1.4 or 1.6 multipliers), then the lenses are the optical equivalents of 160-640mm and an 800 mm prime. A great feature for wildlife tele stuff, but a hinderance for wide angle landscape scale images. Glass is where the real money goes. Adapters are available so one's lenses are still fully functional with the step up. New lens development has not really kept pace with the mirrorless transition. One can acquire a newer 600mm up to 800mm glass now for less than $2k. They are fairly slow though being in the F11 or 6.3 class, so a bit weak early and late in the day.

Have a good one,

Interesting, much of the same equipment I use. She definitely has some classic SLR bodies to work with, with quality glass great pictures come from format and composition in the eye of the beholder....she has a great eye for capturing the true feeling of the subject, and use of F stop control for focus is excellent.

I've admired her work for a while now, and failed at mentioning it before.....please pass on my sincere impressions of her work, taste in subjects, and the endless patience for the perfect "shot".

I like switching to the B&W format also, just for some Ansel Adams old school feel.....and to keep you honest in lighting and shadow control, fabulous hobby for those of us that enjoy it.

Phones for photos ?,,,,,, blasphemy I tell you

An award for the all time most dramatic 'flave induced meltdown should be 1st on the list.

Amen brother, ain’t nothing finer than a nice chubby hairy beaver!

We’re all aware of your fanboi status. And your vote has been recorded.

We’ll also make sure you are seated in the front row, along with those, like you, who are going to need a box of tissues to dab at their tears.

I’ll make sure we have extra trophies available for this category.
