Follow the ferret.
 
Site updated with a new page featuring - The Hamster.
 
Some photos and some bio on the site.
 
Here's something to ponder for yourselves . . . nothing serious, just
some thoughts and observations re furrat fotos.
 
One of the things we did that was smarter than usual was to invest in a
medium grade digital camera.  I got so tired of trying to pose these guys
and then hopefully snap a classic, send it off to be processed into double
copies plus a digital diskette and then find that the result was still
yet more blurred ferret footage.  Waste of time and money all round and
aggravating.
 
Now we can do a shoot and download to the PC real quick to see what was
wasted and what was not.  I figure with over 1400 snaps taken (not ALL of
ferrets) that this thing has more than paid for itself in film costs +
processing costs + mailing costs + aggravation due to lost opportunities.
 
Just something to think about if the budget can spring for it and someone
is wanting a last-minute Christmas pressy that is sure to please and be
useful.
 
I always used to say "film is cheap" compared to the lost opportunity.
However, processing is not so cheap in the long run.  Shooting 36 to get
6 good ones is not cost effective.  Now it's a case of erasing the memory
card and starting over while keeping the 6 on the PC or turning them into
diskettes/CDs.
 
Best wishes to all for whatever holiday you may be celebrating!
