It's Already 2AM: 12th? 14th? Edition... Time to consult your Financial Advisers!!!

[Blurr Cube]

only basketball and billiard hehe Soccer is becoming popular but I say those guys are a bit too overrated :D

A lot of them are "imports" and no real commitment to the team, I think. No chemistry. The fame may be getting to the head of some <cough> Younghusband <cough> :rolleyes:. Maybe over time. Who knows. ;)

[SUB1IM388]

If you can get road shoes and don't need to be doing a ton of walking in them, get road shoes and pedals. The road SPD pedals tend to be a bit larger which helps to prevent hot spots on your foot from where your foot meets the pedal. The larger pedals are more efficient.

Shimano pedals are great though, I run the Ultegra's to match my components on my bike, and they are great.

Im going to focus on my wifes riding gear for now i want to get her into clips so i think in about 2 months ill get her a set.... then when x-mas comes around its all me!!!

Don't worry about all the talk. Just think about this scene: Nick all dressed up in spandex, wearing pink sunglasses, going out for a ride and wiping out in the driveway because his feet are attached to the bike. :lol:

And Omar getting flat tires because he hit a pothole. :D

All this keeps them back down on a proper level :cool:

hahaha

They really aren't that bad. You get used to them, that and I don't do anything all that crazy on my MTB anyway.

fair enough im the guy that loves rock gardens and jumping so a cage would suck for me

[*sigh*]

[AngryCorgi]

this is the reason i have done it before but after seeing it and everything i really not that good on knowing what to do so i thought i would give it to someone that knows more what there doing.

Hey, no problem, Frikers. We'd revoke your man card for backing out, but you're a little boy and don't have one yet. :lol:

I'd also like to inform you that your response represents the most epic butchering of English grammar I have seen in quite a while. Congrats!

[jdizzle]

what? searching for you next acquisition? :lol:
I nodded of at the PC while surfing B&H. :lol::lol:

[vipergts831]

Thanks, He Hate Me.

:D I knew you would like that one :lol:

It's ok, Omar and I have no clue what we are talking about. We just throw around big words and acryonyms that we have seen to seem smart.



:lol:

It is true most of the time we just say things like SPD-DL, AERO, Carbon and such. Just pick a random ackronym, with a creative description and choose a random element :lol:

Nothing much Danny. Just surfing like I always do. :)
Hellz yes!
I'm in the mood for some three cheese nachos and a Corona. :)

[*sigh*]

I bet you're antsy thinking about your new rig purchase. ;)Very... but I still havn't heard from the guy I bought the rest of the stuff from. I havn't sent him any money so I'm not worried about not getting it, but it has to come from GA, and the rest of my stuff will be here tomorrow. Oh and it's 3 of the most important components so I can't do anything without that box. :(


Im gonna ask Steven for a loanAsk Famous, she tends to be a bit more loose with Steven's money. :p

[Jill-of-all-Trades]

Take some Tylenol and a nap. :)

[Harm]

I'll take my lunch whenever I want to, and for however long I want it to be. So right now, it is "almost" lunchtime ;)

[*sigh*]

[jdizzle]

[*sigh*]

What components are those?CPU, Video Card and Power Supply... :(

A lot of them are "imports" and no real commitment to the team, I think. No chemistry. The fame may be getting to the head of some <cough> Younghusband <cough> :rolleyes:. Maybe over time. Who knows. ;)

[jdizzle]

CPU, Video Card and Power Supply... :(
Dang! Those are important.

[*sigh*]

Dang! Those are important.Yep...

I confirmed the other day that the GPU isn't a reference board though, which is a little disappointing. It means if I go watercooling I'm going to need a new video card if I want to get a full cover block for it. :p

So we'll see how long these components last... I have a feeling I'm going to get back into my old and very expensive habits with computers... I must resist!

[jdizzle]

I just got a PM on FM from a guy who is interested in my Zeiss 35 ZM. So, he offers me a trade for his 15" Macbook Pro. Really? :lol:

[Jill-of-all-Trades]

Take some Tylenol and a nap. :)

I've taken the Tylenol, thinking a nap would be good. Although I haven't been up all that long. Got talking to a friend last night and was up late.

he lives in hawaii but has a gallery here in laguna. I want to go see it!!

[20droger]

:p:p that has no basis :lol::lol:
You think so?

Well, his absence from the forum has cause B&H to lose at least one sale, while Helen's presence and activity here has garnered Adorama lots of my dollars—and, being a parsimonious old git, I don't part with them casually.

B&H and Adorama sell the same stuff at virtually the same prices. What do they have to compete with except service? And ombudsmen are a significant factor in that service, at least to me.

Henry may of may not shoot Nikon, in fact, he may shoot Sony for all I know. Or he may hate photography and shoot nothing at all. I don't care. But he does seem to have a wee bit of a Nikonitude, and about that I care.

[*sigh*]

Im a light/pale ale guy. I leave the guiness for harm :DYeah, I don't mind Guiness but won't necessarily ever order it. If given the option I always get beers from a local brewery here called Four Peaks, if not a Stella is fine, Newcastle isn't a bad option either. Heck Sam Adams is more than drinkable as well.

The only time I'll drink corona, bud, coors is if its free and that's the only option. :p But.. I'm not really a big drinker.

I would. :)

Also... I've been looking at L glass prices for too long... In the past when I saw $900 or so for a lens, especially used it was "Oh wow that's expensive..." but my reaction to your post was "Oh that's not too bad" :/

I guess I don't have that wee bit of Nikonitude you are talking about then ;) :lol:

seriously, I would buy from Adorama every chance I get just because Helen is here, if only I could getaway from the 8% tax on every purchase I do from them... coz I always have it ship to NJ. :(

hey its a bit worst for me... now I look at tripod and I used to say $200 is expensive, now $500 is reasonable :rolleyes:
lenses? used to be $800 is expensive, now that's reasonable too :lol:
Bicycle? with the prices you guys are talking... I think a $400 bicycle now is cheap when I used to think I will not spend more than $100 on a bicycle before :lol:

its gotten so bad that sometimes I don't see $60 items as expensive anymore... I see them as "Extras" or loose change :o:o (come to think of it,relative to some of my employees,some have a salary of $70 for 15days).

[monk3y]

a water house for the 5D MKII + 16-35mm would set you back roughly $2500 I think :lol:

lenses? used to be $800 is expensive, now that's reasonable too
Bicycle? with the prices you guys are talking... I think a $400 bicycle now is cheap when I used to think I will not spend more than $100 on a bicycle before

its gotten so bad that sometimes I don't see $60 items as expensive anymore... I see them as "Extras" or loose change (come to think of it,relative to some of my employees,some have a salary of $70 for 15days).
See! Now you know where I'm coming from!!!! :lol::lol::lol:;)

[vipergts831]

If you're going to do that, you need to dedicate yourself. ;)

Yup and like everything you cant half do it either!

[*sigh*]

he absolutely insane!!!! I want to get a water housing for my camera and do that at my local beach. Not many surf photographers get in the water they all stay out with there 600L's :lol:Just watched his little video... that guy is crazy. He has some amazing photos.

Now how much are water housings for a 7D? Hmmm? ;)A couple grand I believe.

[20droger]

I guess I don't have that wee bit of Nikonitude you are talking about then ;) :lol:
Being saturated with Nikonitude yourself, you would hardly recognise it it one with just a little.
what happened to you at B&H that you need an Ambassador's assistance?
Nothing too serious, but I did have to call them and bypass Henry to get it resolved. Overall, I like B&H, and I do order stuff from them. Just not as much as I used to.

I think B&H and Adorama are both very reputable companies, far above the average in honesty and integrity.

[jdizzle]

Yup and like everything you cant half do it either!
Hehe! No reason to mock the guys with the 600 L. :lol::lol:;)

[*sigh*]

I think B&H and Adorama are both very reputable companies, far above the average in honesty and integrity.I agree. If one is out of stock but the other one has it, I have absolutely no trouble ordering from either. I tend to go back and forth between the two as to who I order from the most as they really are both typically fantastic to deal with.

Shame on you! :lol:

Im looking at a bike between 3-5k for next year :lol:

[20droger]

Now how much are water housings for a 7D? Hmmm? ;)
A basic housing is about $1500, plus lens port. This one is quite good: http://www.ikelite.com/web_two/can_7d.html

And before someone asks, no, they don't make a lens port for the EF 600mm.

[Fricks]

If you're going to do that, you need to dedicate yourself. ;)
ya i know but i do that right now with my gorpo just that the waves are a little smaller:oops:
a water house for the 5D MKII + 16-35mm would set you back roughly $2500 I think :lol:

but if you get those kinds of waves, it would definitely be worth it :D

5DII does not shot fast enough I'm think a 7d with the 10-20 and ex430II would do just fine for now

[Blurr Cube]

Just watched his little video... that guy is crazy. He has some amazing photos.

A couple grand I believe.

Knew it was in that ballpark. Reminding Fricks of his $200 self-imposed gear budget. :rolleyes: ;)

[vipergts831]

They are the ones mocking him for not having a big prime ;) :lol:

You dont need speed underwater. Most of the images use flash.

ya you kind of need speed when the waves are crashing down

[vipergts831]

:p I know people tend to associate Nikonitude as Snob and unfriendly or something... and I am neither both so? hehe

btw, I agree with you totally... I have only bought from Adorama once, had a bit of a problem but nothing too serious, now I bought the tripod and a few other stuff from B&H to avoid the taxes and I hope nothing goes wrong as well. and oh.. as a bonus their rep was able to understand my English when I called them on the phone ;) :lol:

Shame on you!

Im looking at a bike between 3-5k for next year :lol:
hehehe exactly why I put :o :o in there :lol:

this is what I get for hanging out with you guys :lol:

I hate this monitor... oh so much.

I have some 5% gray graphics up right now, the top ones look like a very light gray, the bottom ones look white. If I move it over to the other screen, it actually shows up like a 5% gray.

I would just use this older ultrasharp all the time... but it's an old 1280x1024 17" :(

[Fricks]

As 5DmkII owners would say: Timing it is the right speed ;)

true.


I was going to buy a 5dII then you guys talked me out of it now i need one again:mad::mad::lol:

yeah but when you upgrade, you need to buy another housing

And before someone asks, no, they don't make a lens port for the EF 600mm.
but $1500 still doesn't include the lens port...so you will still end up at around $2500 correct?

yes i got a couple of quotes form last week they fun around $2000

yes but thats for scuba diving you need with a pistol grip like these
http://www.splwaterhousings.com/html/dslr_waterhousings.html#

ohh very cool and its yellow too..very easy to find if you lose grip and drop it in the water :D

[*sigh*]

true.

No you don't... the 7D is better for action.

Pain in the rear end. If you need the colors to be correct i would just deal with the very small 17 :confused:

true.

Your Nikonitude manifests itself in a "My Nikon walks all over your Canons" attitude, when you know damned well that neither Canon nor Nikon takes better pictures. In the hands of an expert, either shoots Pulitzer material, and in the hands of a GWC, both shoot crap.

But you have some slight redeeming qualities, so we forgive you. Now, if I could only remember what those qualities are....

[*sigh*]

Pain in the rear end. If you need the colors to be correct i would just deal with the very small 17 :confused:

I normally work on the 22 and then move it over to the 17" if I need to check colors. It's a pain though :/

[*sigh*]

Your Nikonitude manifests itself in a "My Nikon walks all over your Canons" attitude, when you know damned well that neither Canon nor Nikon takes better pictures. Well duh... we all know Pentax is the best. :lol:

Steven is usually joking when he talks about Nikon being better, just as the rest of us are when we are talking about Canon.

[monk3y]

See! Now you know where I'm coming from!!!!
haha ohh I am way below where you are :p

Roger, are you sure you want me to remind you? ;)

seriously, I don't think my Nikon walks all over Canon... its a good camera on its own I know that, but as you said I am well aware that its the shooter and not really the gear that matters :D

now you better tell that to Julian ;) :lol: Just joking Julian :p:lol:

[20droger]

Well duh... we all know Pentax is the best. :lol:
Must be. After all, they DO make medium format cameras.

[*sigh*]

put a bubble level on your monitor and get a Spyder3express for $66 and your set ;) :D

no need to move from 22" to 17" ;):lol:

[monk3y]

Well duh... we all know Pentax is the best. :lol:

Steven is usually joking when he talks about Nikon being better, just as the rest of us are when we are talking about Canon.

I even went as far as saying my Canon photos are better than my Nikon photos :lol:

I agree Pentax is the best...have you tried it yet Roger?

[*sigh*]

put a bubble level on your monitor and get a Spyder3express for $66 and your set ;) :D

no need to move from 22" to 17" ;):lol:Yeah... there is no way a cheap monitor calibrator is going to help this monitor...

Somehow the menu got locked out on this thing too.. and I can't unlock it even if I follow dell's directions which makes it 10x's worse since I can't adjust the settings. :(

[tonyniev]

Farlet...did you seeflash fill in outdoor shot examples I poated lastnight?

[20droger]

I even went as far as saying my Canon photos are better than my Nikon photos :lol:

Yes, I have.

And you must remember that we shoot neither Canon, nor Nikon, nor Pentax, nor Sony.... Of course, our reasons are not photographic, but that's another story.

[monk3y]

:lol::lol:

so far I am not seeing any color variation on my cheap Samsung 23" LCD here... its a TN panel and I think I would still benefit from calibrating it. I just have to make sure that I am always dead center on the screen when I am checking colors.

[monk3y]

Yes, I have.

hmmm... if that's the case you probably shoot with a gun then... :lol: ;)

ohh very cool and its yellow too..very easy to find if you lose grip and drop it in the water :D

if i get a housing for the 7d i would keep my 7d and use it just for the surf purpose and not sell it. ANd it cost 1975 for a water housing with a sigma 10-20 port plus 300 for a flash attachment. You use a leash that attaches to the camera and then to your arm in case you drop it;)

[Fricks]

some front he 50 1.4 i just took of the dogs i noticed on some of the shots it is front focusing:mad:

hey I was just editing from my laptop back then :lol: and I think the color on its screen is off and not very bright, so I tend to brighten everything up and saturate them to make them look nice on my screen haha

damn!! I would be scared of that leash :lol: ;)

[Harm]

Harm i was put on to a great fish and chips location in brooklyn! Im trying to head out there to find out for myself if it really is as good as people say.

I've been to "A Salt & Battery" down in Greenwich Village. It is okay, but just isn't the same as a bog standard chippy....

Time for a new monitor.

Most cheap monitors are only good for "business" use, where their colors need only display graphs and pie charts.

When I monitor shop, I take a flash drive with a known image on it and go to my local computer store. Then I can compare the monitors to find one that works for me.

My wife's monitor (she's the real photographer, mind you) is a 24" Dell that I had professionally calibrated. It works flawlessly.

if you take alot of in water pics and can turn it into some money go for it, otherwise i would but a nice 300mm L and just take pictures from the beach. the waves break pretty close to shore on the east coast so if you wade out to your calves a 55-250mm would be too long.

I am thinking of getting one IPS monitor, but not sure how I am going to sell my current monitor really :lol: and I don't need two... so I'll just use this and just make sure to calibrate it every time I have some color sensitive stuff to print :D

[Blurr Cube]

Farlet...did you seeflash fill in outdoor shot examples I poated lastnight?

Hi Tony. Yeah I saw those. Thanks. I only have a 430exii I'm trying to work with. I'm blindly using ETTL most of the time. :( The Kim Kardashian pic out in the sun is a good example of how harsh broad daylight can be. :mad:
