 this is my daughter ali just home from work after changing into her pj's .. she did this with katee in the kitchen and katee had her legs right out and it looked really funny .. i said i wanted to get a pic of them doing that for our side challenge but had to go and get my camera in the other room .. when i came back she said she was too busy with taffe work and i had to hassle her to do this .. she only gave me about 10 secs ..
now for the bad news .. i had to take my 5DII to the doctor today and its staying there till they can work out wots wrong with it .. it refuses to take on auto focus .. intermittently and usually in low light .. and of course when i've got the best shot i'm ever going to take in my entire life is when it wont take .. lol ..
if you press the shutter when the camera is turned off then that's wots happening .. but the camera is on .. if anyone has any idea .. ??

Good capture of Katee and your daughter.

Bummer about the 5DII.

Sorry to hear about the cam Roz. Try a different lens, and also make sure that the Auto/Manual switch on the lens is in the "Auto" position all the way. I would switch it a few times to maybe work out a glitch there. There is probably a AF MF switch on the camera too. Work that one a few times also. Try cleaning the contacts on the lens with a rubber pencil eraser too. My S3 does the same thing sometimes with one of the lenses that I use on it, so I have just learned to shoot manual focus and work around it.
Here's wishing you best of luck with repairs if you need to have it worked on.

thanx waddy .. switch fully engaged .. when it wouldnt take i'd switch to manual focus, take a shot and then put it back to auto focus and it often worked then .. i didnt know about the af and mf switch on the camera and its at canon so i cant check right now .. i cleaned the contacts a few times on both the camera and the lenses with a lens cleaning cloth that you'd use on your glasses for eg didnt now about the pencil eraser .. it has the problem with a couple of different lenses as well .. i cant shoot manual focus except for macro .. my eyesight isnt good enough .. :)

Please don't tell me the MKII is giving you problems. So sorry... I'm not a fix-it kind of person but I'm sure you'll get good advice and please keep us posted. I hope it's something simple.

So wotever & dog. Perfect. Love the perspective and the no thinking/flexibility on both of your parts to do/capture wotever.
Terrific processing.

My god you are so talented, Roz! This is outstanding - the angle, the process. All of it.

With that position, not seeing Katee, it almost looks like she's a marionette, when the upper strings are let down. :)Love the socks.
