I'm still paying off several Dslr's .LOL I do however find my self shooting my horse shows as if I was still using film. Just a few fences of the riders on course. Two, maybe three if the course is set up photographer friendly. I know several of the other people around here, machine gun and shoot every fence, good or bad, and galloping shots as well. Thats got to add up, cause they keep them all and try and sell them as a show day CD.
Just can't seem to justify doing that, even for digital. Dave On Nov 21, 2007 12:48 PM, Jens Bladt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Congratulations, DougF.
