Does she have you in her sights? I like how the moose is looking straight at you. Does she have you in her sights?

You probably have the "scene" setting, too. Anocat--OMG. That sounds like an awesome book! I will have to get it! Del--You are correct. On both points! A moose killed one of OmegaDad's coworkers' neighbors' dogs with one kick. (Is that enough possessive apostrophes for everyone?) (A moose killed the dog of a neighbor of one of OmegaDad's coworkers?) Anyway, more about scenes--and moose--in the next post. Kate--That's right, you're significantly north of where we were in AZ, so you'd be at the bottom end of moose range (right?). We had elk, who aren't as cantankerous as moose, and had a similar experience with our cats and the elk. Mamasan–Your macro shots are turning out quite nice.

Interesting: my cat and the morning moose get along fine. I've seen them get close enough to touch noses. (Though this cat is used to horses so she probably doesn't know what she's dealing with.) The dog and the moose are not such good friends. Photo tip: invest in a Panosonic Lumix digi camera. I LOVE this camera. It has an amazing ability to steady a shaky hand. Glad to see you are in better spirits. I’ve got a moose that torments my dog, too. Interesting: my cat and the morning moose get along fine. I’ve seen them get close enough to touch noses.

I think it's supposed to make bright outdoors pics less likely to overexpose or something. Not sure. I could never tell much of a difference between pics taken with "auto" and those on "scene". Hey, aren't moose really big animals with cranky dispositions and are best left alone? And you have these things wandering around in your backyard???

I've never tried that setting, but I'm still wrestling with the set-up to do close-ups with the Canon. Because the basic lens on the old Sony is a fair bit longer, I've found it does a much better job when I want those Real Close In shots (1-2 inches from subject). But I want to see your moose real sharp. I'm sure they'll be back. Too damn bad! I’ve never tried that setting, but I’m still wrestling with the set-up to do close-ups with the Canon.
