GREAT SHOT! I love it!

I'm sending the link to this thread to a friend of mine. She's a spinner so she would REALLY like the sheep's coat! As a spinner, she collects all sorts of sheep memorabilia... I know she'll love the shot.

Good grief, that's one fluffy animal.

But I'm wondering....is that a full size 828 image? Is that all the bigger an 828 image is? Can you get decent 8x10's with that? I thought you could? Did Phil mention that? Geez, I thought I've seen bigger pics than that from this camera.

I'm so disappointed. I have an 828, but your small image makes me think I should sell it. I hope I don't regret it.

Andy:

Here's what my friend replied to me:

Baaaaaaaaaaaa! Bet he wouldn't want that coat in the SUMMER!!

Then I asked her if she knew what kind of sheep it was:

"Not exactly but it looks like what would be called a 'down' sheep. That is not to be confused with a 'downer' cow! That assessment is based on its fleece which looks crimpy and springy and sort of coarse and not particularly long or silky. The fleece also makes it look like more of a 'meat' sheep than a 'fleece' sheep which is what 'down' are. 'Down' is the general term for that type of animal and refers to the amount of 'Southdown' blood it has in it.

There. Probably w-a-a-a-y more than you really wanted to know!"

I love the color - soft like his/her coat - and the great depth of
field. Also like the crop. In fact I really like this. ;) Ann

I still have my wheel "just in case."

Valerie, your friend is right-- this isn't the best wool for spinning, but it's great for making felt. It's also great for quilt battings or for turning into those incredibly warm (but itchy) blankets. You know, I used to be able to buy a fleece from New Zealand for a fraction of the cost of one right here in the States-- including the shipping! Man, those fleeces were incredible. Impossibly long and boy, were they clean!

Fun stuff, Andy.

That is such a great shot though I had to move away from the monitor a bit (I'm very allergic to wool) ;)
