Randy, wish you lived closer ... Idaho’s a fer’ piece from here you betcha’ .. :o
The thing about Foam is it’s so Bulky , that shipping becomes expensive .... best if you can get it locally , save the carriage entirely ... Even if you have to pay a little more ... I was just browsing the net for relative prices ... which seem to vary a bit from site to site ...

BTW , beadboard bends more easily , and also breaks/snaps if you bend it too far without some tension support ... :o

mike are all those yours? they are so darn cute!

well simba knows: sit, look, touch, paw, come, here and ok. of course we are still working on them all with reinforcement. but wow, what a quick learner. and he has to sit before coming into the house, which he does.
next for today is down.
he is so going to be ready for camping once the season comes back.

No, none of those are mine. I was at the dog park with my boys, and I was just practicing taking pictures!

Now back to the regularly scheduled subject... GPW, take it away!

mike, i think those are good for getting photos. are you interested in photography? i really like that blurred background, i have never been sucessful at that. so i stick with my point and shoot setting. :lol:

Yep, Louella, I finally got a walk around lens for my camera, so I am practicing. I've had my camera since July, and haven't had much time to play with it. Just trying to learn the settings.

The trick to blurred backgrounds is not that hard.

Zoom all the way out with your camera. Have your subject close to the camera, and your background really far away. If you can change your aperture, the closer to f2 you can get, the better.
