I am not sure if I will get a muledeer calendar together this year or not, but here are a couple previous September bucks.

   Nice work!  I need a bone calendar.  Do you do elk calendars?

[boneaddict]

I haven't yet.   Contemplating a duck and or a mixed bag one this fall.   I tried a whitetail one last fall, but it didn't generate much interest.

[DIYARCHERYJUNKIE]

I think a bull Calendar would be a big seller.  Id buy one of both the muley and bull.  Thanks for sharing the amazing photography you do.  keep me posted on the 2015 calendars.

[boneaddict]

I will.  I have a lot of photo taking to do first.

[DIYARCHERYJUNKIE]

I was gonna pic up a camera.  What would you suggest in the $1000.00 range for video and high quality stills.  The video I would just use for kill shots and scenery.

[boneaddict]

A used 7D with a kit lens.  Not sure.   A grand is pretty limited for high quality shots, especially with vid.   I don't study cameras much as I have mine, so some googling might help.  Eyeball what Costco has on the shelf next time you are there to get some ideas.

Canon just announced the 7D Mark II. The fanboys on photo forums are already hailing it as the best camera ever--and they haven't even held it yet 

[boneaddict]

I wonder if that will make the 5D come down at all so I can afford it.

[Bean Counter]

The 5D mark III? That should be approaching the end of its life cycle and I bet there will be screaming deals in November for Christmas season.  Iirc you could get it close to $2Ksans lens last year. I got my 6D last Nov for $1,500 along with an extra battery,  camera bag, memory card, monopod, and some other trinket I cant remember at this time.  6D doesn't have the myriad sports/wildlife cross type auto focus points like the 1DX, 5DmIII, and 7D but does have every bit of full frame goodness to include ridiculously good low light performance and high ISO quality 

[boneaddict]

I'm trying to get away from the crop sensor thing for some more macro stuff.   I like the 7D with sports.  Pretty fast.

Its time to buy film again  or do you use a card ...lmao

That brings up a question I've been curious about.  Looks like a good time to ask the experts;  Is there any difference between card quality/manufacture?  I know one of my cameras seems to be Cannon specific, but when it comes to SD cards is one any better than the other?

[boneaddict]

Probably       I don't use any of the expensive high end ones, or the generic low shelf ones.   The common name brand stuff at cost-co or wherever seem to work just fine.

[Bean Counter]

I mostly use San Disk which I guess is the standard of sorts. It goes on sale regularly at Costco. One thing to keep in mind if you're shooting sports or wildlife with these bagillion gigapixel cameras is that the card speed can be a limiting factor when shooting bursts or HD video. My primary card is a 32GB high speed card that can write up to 80MB per second. That sounds like a lot, but if you shoot 4 frames per second with 20MB raw files you're actually topped out.

[boneaddict]

I shoot the same Bean.

So I goggled the 7D.  They claim the 7D mark ii just came out yesterday.  its supposed to be the best thing ever. I found two prices though.  1799 and 2499...  ?  I'll have to research more but I'm gonna pick one up.  Between the kids and hunting I think it'll get its use.  I need compact video I cant see myself carrying a huge camera around.  the video ive seen on it looks amazing.  thanks for the tips guys.  Bean go fill that bull tag!!!  then get some pics.

[boneaddict]

That's cool DIY.

[DIYARCHERYJUNKIE]

Thanks bone.  I just see your pics and cant stand all the shots I miss every year.  You inspire me to capture these moments.  I never get field photos either cause of no timer camera.  maybe before Idaho this year I can swing it but its going to be tough.  Any more pics for us bone? 

[boneaddict]

I'll see what I can do.   FOr some reason these were still on my laptop.  I have to dump most of them to an external drive or it clogs up my harddrive. 

That you will appreciate most are the captures of your family.   I learned from my childhood and my mother and photos how important it was to document it all.   My kids have a very documented life and its pretty priceless really. 

[DIYARCHERYJUNKIE]

I have four kids soooo.....  lots of memory to catch.

I guess they all work the same  here is a few pictures from last night .. they are now just getting fired up ..there was 7 bulls in this herd and the smallest one seemed to be the horniest 

[BOWHUNTER45]

Top picture is about 200 yrds away and the second is about 100 or less ..I think it is more about the camera than the memory card ..Just from looking at how clear Bone's pictures are ..

Looks like a fun evening B45

How many "Must Have" lenses do you carry Bone'?

[boneaddict]

Two for wildlife.   I really need to get a good landscape lens.

The higher price option includes the kit lens, which Canon looks to be including the EF-S 18-135 IS STM. You'll have to decide whether you want an STM over a USM. I don't shoot much video and rather like the USM, plus I don't care for the super zooms 

Check the deals around Black Friday. They're always crazy good.
