Not bad, Mrs. Loupey

My wife grabbed my rigged camera off the kitchen counter when I was out splitting wood and got these out our dining room window.

Not bad considering it was set to full manual (including focusing) and it had my 2x converter on it! She shot these at 1/125s and these are just about full frame.

Well done !
Why not get her own sign-up so we can congratulate her in person?

Well done Mrs L! love No.2. Looks like there could be some competition coming your way Loupey!

You had better keep that camera hidden, she may just out shine you ;)

You tellin' me ! I figured, a few shots in manual mode and she would look at the LCD and say, "stupid camera" . I was impressed when I played it back. It must be the excellent coaching she's been receiving. Although she calls it unwanted advice !? Gotta remember to leave my camera on f/22 at 1/3000s from now on!

Anyway, thanks Knight, Bev, and PaulUK - I called her and she pulled it up so she could read your comments. Not sure if I can talk her into joining. She loves takings pictures but mostly of the kids (hey, they're still "wildlife" aren't they?).

Thanks again for taking the time to look.

I don't disagree with you, Paul, one bit

Thing is, in the past she "took over" my A-1 35mm SLR and my G1 Contax rangefinder. I don't want her to commandeer my 10D as well !
