Boston POTN Meet (2)

[kenjancef]

Ah . . . knew there had to be safety measures in place before they let a politician take the wheel!

Unlike our government... :)

[scotteisenphotography]

Haha. It is at facility where they house 16 or so C-5's and they were working on upgrading them to new engines, etc. Let us walk on top of it too. Was cool.

Well, after all that's what primaries are for . . .

[kenjancef]

Well I'm glad I'm not into politics...

[sansational]

This was a hit on my facebook page.

Check out those tan lines. Can't wait for summer to get here.

I was pricing a few things out and checking out their seemingly rapidly growing selection of used gear.
.

Bernie what kind of used gear do they have and how is the pricing? The last time I was in there, they still did not have much and wanted $80 for a hood that would take 5-7 days to get there. I would love to see the stores inventory grow.

[Mistabernie]

Well, Boston has a used 24-105 for $900 (that im thinking about talking them down on), but the used case in Hanover is filling up slowly but surely.. $150 for a 550EX (i think), about the same for a 28-105.. I know they had at least one EOS digital body in there, but other than that its older film bodies and a bit of Nikon stuff. Hard to recall off the top of my head but it was way better than 2 weeks or so ago.

I work 2 minutes down the street from the Hanover one, I'll have to stop in soon and check their used case out

[20DNewbie]

I'll try and get over there today and get a listing(and maybe a pic) of items in the used cabinet if anyone is interested.

Mmmm, Five Guys next door. :) (yeah yeah I know I'm fat)

[Mistabernie]

If James is working (kind of a bigger kid with tattoos) just let him know I sent you, and when he looks at you quizzically, tell him the guy in the hoodie that was hanging out last Sunday before Van Halen.

[Andy0o0o]

you guys were looking for 24-105 for 900? i tried to sell it on CL the longest time! where were you? LOL

[Mistabernie]

I saw it in Boston at Hunts -- never said I would purchase at that price (and especially wouldn't purchase at that price via private sale, no offense intended).

This was a hit on my facebook page.

Check out those tan lines. Can't wait for summer to get here.


She doesn't appear to have any, sir. bw!

[Andy0o0o]

I agree with with on that Mista, i posted on for 800 with date UZ. but all i got was low baller and scamm! i hate those scam where they make conversation and then save they live other states, LOL

[20DNewbie]

Ok so I dropped by Hunts and they have a D60 and a grip for it, a Drebel, and a 30D. They also have the 28-105 and another lens, sorry I missed which one. They also have a few refurbed lenses, the 28-135 and a newer 18-???. They did have a 550EX but it's gone.

:D

Nice price too.

[Andy0o0o]

you got the 550? nice!

[Harm]

which hunts?

[remotehuman]

So I've only been in Hunts once, is it the type of place that you have a little room to barter down a price on used items or are they pretty firm?

[scotteisenphotography]

I am not a supporter of Hunts and never will be. Commission or not. They try to rip you off just as much as Calumet does with commission and online prices. Not a nice business practice. B&H and Adorama all the way for me.

[Harm]

I live next door to the flagship one in Melrose...so I go in to physically see stuff. I am happy to order from B&H / Adorama. I don't make enough money to pay highly marked up prices in-store.

tax free too, can't beat that!

[remotehuman]

I've had one experience with used from B&H and it wasn't the best. I bought my 28-135 3.5-5.6 from them and it showed up full of dust and dirt. They took it back without a hassle but it took a little over a week for them to "receive" it then another two days to issue credit

[Mistabernie]

Haha, who was your salesman?

[20DNewbie]

which hunts?
Down in the sticks of the South Shore(Hanover).

Yeah I kind of get that, the guy was asking me if I was going to pick up a 5D3. Quoted a price of $6000 for one, I told him I'd rather pick up a used 1Dslll/85L or a new M9 for that price. Actually I'd pay off the remainder of my car note and free up some monthly scratch.

[20DNewbie]

Haha, who was your salesman?

The receipt says Jeff, I've dealt with him before and seems a decent enough guy.

[Mistabernie]

Yeah, IIRC jeff's the manager. I've had pretty good dealings with him. I went in to pick up a bag for my tripod legs and one guy told me they were being sold as part of a package kit; I went back in when Jeff was working and he sold me the bag without issue (though it didn't have tags on it so he couldn't find the model number. It was funny watching him call his sup for a number that was printed on the back of the bag) :D

[scotteisenphotography]

Well this evening was an interesting night for my portrait work... lol

Anyone know of any good website hosting companies that don't charge an arm and a leg? I want something that gives me full mysql access and has a decent amount of bandwidth available. Storage isn't much of an issue. I plan on just using a wordpress theme and working with that.

Me at the range (http://www.flickr.com/photos/maxyoumans/6848904650/) by Max Youmans (http://www.flickr.com/people/maxyoumans/), on Flickr

This was today with my friends who are members at the Braintree Gun Club. Great time :cool:

[Andy0o0o]

I've been to the range once in its near needham American firearm academy it was called. Inside and it was loud. Where is this outdoor range?

[Nathan]

Joe Kennedy, III at yesterday's St. Patrick's Day event. Plus, guess who in the Nascar outfit. :lol:

[20DNewbie]

Plus, guess who in the Nascar outfit. :lol:

The first attendee of the Ted Kennedy/Tim Murray Driving Academy? :lol:

Yeah this was outdoors. Fun time, I'm getting my license some time this year so I need to buy as much camera equipment now as I can haha

[scotteisenphotography]

Kinda looks like you Scott.. besides the gut and old hands.

Haha I look like who?



Also, was photographing the Pru last night, they were cutting the power at midnight..set up a tripod on the PUBLIC sidewalk in front of it, Prudential "Security Officers" came out to let me know it was illegal to take any photos of the building from anywhere, even though I was not on their property. They kept asking me to leave..I asked them to call the police if I was doing something illegal, since it was not their property...they left, and never did. Stand up for your rights fellas.

[Harm]

from anywhere?

hahahahahahaha

[Mistabernie]

yeah, some of these guys are just ridiculous.

[scotteisenphotography]

from anywhere?

hahahahahahaha

Yeah, that's when I thought it was funny. I could understand ON their property, and I would happily leave if asked...but you can't tell me what to do on public property..he was like "Well since 9/11 ya know, terrorists could be doing things" ... I asked him if I seemed like a terrorist, and he wasn't sure what to say.. haha..you know..those press credentials around my neck give it away..i'm definitely a terrorist!

[Andy0o0o]

If you don't have the press pass can you still take picture? Lol
I do have a question about taking picture of a celebrity though. When they were filming the zoo keeper right next to my house I wanted to take pictures of kevin James standing on my porch and one the guys told me I can't. But the questions is can i?

If you're on your porch (aka your property), and you can see him unobstructed or without means to circumvent security, i.e. climbing onto your roof, etc to shoot over a temporary barricade/fence, etc, they have absolutely no right to tell you what you can/cant do on your property. Example - if they put up a temporary fence and you cant shoot from your front porch, but you walk upstairs to a second story balcony or legitimate roof access and shoot, I still think you're OK.

My concern would be a scenario where you don't have roof access and climbed a ladder or a fire escape or something, then you're circumventing their security by using your property as it is not intended, which I BELIEVE they may be able to get you for, but again, if it's your property, you'd have to file the complaint against yourself, which I doubt you would do. Plus, if it's a rental property, then you'd technically be in unauthorized parts of the domicile/dwelling and then there would be means for action.

The only exception to this, I believe, would be taking videos or photos during the actual process of filming, but I'm not 100% sure even that would be an issue (the studio would be in charge of creating a secure scene by which you wouldn't be able to watch and film/photograph it, if they failed to do so, that's their bad).

[Andy0o0o]

I didn't cercumvent any parameters it's out in the open and I was on my first floor and second floor porch. The guy wouldn't even let me take pictures of James walking out of the trailer. What a dick! I wasn't sure what the rules on these matters.

[scotteisenphotography]

Anything viewable from a public space is essentially fair game....there are few things that are not..but it's a grey area...if you're in the public park and you saw him, you could've taken as many photos as you want, despite whatever anyone was telling you. You do not need a press ID.

[Nathan]

I do have a question about taking picture of a celebrity though. When they were filming the zoo keeper right next to my house I wanted to take pictures of kevin James standing on my porch and one the guys told me I can't. But the questions is can i?

It depends. I think most people understand the general issues around privacy and standing on public versus private property. My question to you is whether the film production had the legal right to close off public streets and make them inaccessible to the public (including you). You may have limited right to access your home, but in that scenario you may not have had the right to stand on the street and take photos of a private video shoot. From inside your home is a different matter.

[Mistabernie]

Yeah, the thing that irked me about that was that Andy was on his property, etc. If someone ever came up to me on my property and was like 'hey, stop doing what you're doing', I'd basically tell them to call the cops if what I was doing was wrong, etc. I learned that one from Scott. :)

shoot them with a shotgun and say they were trespassing? :rolleyes:

[Mistabernie]

shoot them with a shotgun and say they were trespassing? :rolleyes:

Well, if they were armed and they came onto my property to try to "make" me do anything, then yeah, I probably would shoot first, ask questions later, but in most cases, you can only use deadly force when there is a reasonable threat to your life (and last time I checked, not knowing if someone was armed or not wasn't reasonable, even in your own house).

Dont forget, this is America. If you break into my house and take naked pictures of my wife, and I try to tackle you and end up pushing you the stairs in our main foyer and you break your neck, not only can you sue me for bodily harm, but you retain the copyright to the images.

Of course, good luck with the model release, even I can't get that!

I've been wanting to do some car shoots if you guys are ever interested in shooting your rides and/or scouting out some places around the area - have a legal white Evo8 and a very illegal S/C IS300 (but it's more of a sleeper aside from exhaust so probably wouldn't be all that pretty to shoot).

Nice - CPS is sending me one on April 4th w/ a 70-200 2.8L IS II while they repair my 70-200 that no longer focuses haha

[Harm]

what did you do to your 70-200?

[scotteisenphotography]

what did you do to your 70-200?

use and abuse...the focusing motor finally went..all manual for me right now..oh well haha

[silveradomike]

the crazy thing about the 5d3 that I noticed right away id the lack of shutter vibration.
barly even a noise and its done..

[Mistabernie]

I noticed that the other day between my 7D and my 5D2. My 7D is nearly silent in comparison to the 5D2, but I kind of like the heft and sound of the 5D2. Also, the 7D sensor kind of looks like a toy in comparison.

[scotteisenphotography]

I am going to get the 5D3 I think. I am going to sell my 85 as well. It sits in my bag, never gets used....etc etc...

[Harm]

If I were a portrait photog, I wouldn't sell it most likely..but I have that range covered with my 70-200...I don't see a need for it...and I can sell it for a damn good price right now haha

[Mistabernie]

I'd be interested if it wasn't so dang expensive. I'm sure you can unload it in a hurry though.

[scotteisenphotography]

I'm not sure if I could ever live without a car, hell I've even rented cars for some of the times when mines been in the shop.x 2. Last summer I was having problems with the Evo and my gf and I would rent a car on the weekends for any photo expeditions. Spent over $2k on rentals. :/

We did it so much that the guys all knew us and would upgrade us for free. We would get a Lincoln Town Car or new Ford Explorer (LOVE the recent model) or whatever for 40 bucks from Friday PM to Monday AM.

Found some chargers, but I dunno if I wanna pay $70 for just a charger.

[Jon]

Sterlingtek. They include a 12V car adapter along with it. Plus, while the battery's in the charger you can also use it as a flashlight. No, really!

[Andy0o0o]

i'm an amature photog here, and recently starting to fiddo with LR4, would love a tag along with you guys for a meet and shoot around to pick up some new techniques to take picture. :) love to take pictures but no longer want to look at washed out photos and want to enhanced photos to make it look richer in colors. Hope you guys dont mind.

god that just sounds like an add on CL haha, but i'm serious. :cool:

Man, shooting at the beach in partly cloudy conditions is weird. Sometimes LR thinks I'm way under exposed. Others when the exposure looks a bit better LR says "hey, that ok photo you just took is about to be AWESOME. I'll post a couple of examples either later today or tomorrow.

hey guys..guess what...

Opinions?

[Nathan]

Opinions?

I think Scott is tickled pink.

[scotteisenphotography]

Opinions?

Absolutely incredible. The image quality from the 5D2 to the 5D3 is in a whole different place. I can shoot at 25600 ISO on the 5D3 and have it comparable to the 5D2 at 6400. The focusing is spot on, and quick..and the updated feel/menus/buttons is a nice addition.

[Mistabernie]

Damn you Scott... *shakes fist*

I'd consider picking one up if I wasn't afraid I'd have it dropped/stolen by the end of the day (given the way my weekend went, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised)

[Harm]

pics, or it didn't happen, Scott...

[Mistabernie]

We have some 5D3 sample shots at high ISOs that are making us do double-takes on another forum I frequent. 25600 seriously looks like 5D2 6400... with the updated focus system, etc... I'm considering selling my 5Dc/5D2 to fund one (would have to be after May though).

pics, or it didn't happen, Scott...

Anything I would post would get me banned probably at this point. The best comparison was a stabbing I shot the other night..bloody...not good material to post on here..if you want to see for yourself, come try it out

[20DNewbie]

if any of you guys are considering the 5D3..and want to try it before making any commitment...let me know...

Damn you Scott... *shakes fist*



Lol, I wanted nothing to do with one till I foolishly peeked into one of the threads about it.

Like I've any business even thinking about one, I just checked my latest 5D2 file number after having it just under a year and it's at 100-0966. Yeah I need another camera. :rolleyes:

[Mistabernie]

A year?? I've had mine for coming up on two months and I took close to that many photos last Saturday...

(do time lapses count? :D )

[20DNewbie]

:lol: I'm not sure but I was just mucking about in the Astro section and now I'd like to give that a whirl so if I do that I'll be giving you a run for the click count.

Probably gonna have to head towards the mid cape or deeper to get away from all the light pollution for anything decent though. Well that and a tracking head(great, yet another bit of gear I'll use once or twice and get bored/frustrated with and toss into the shed).

I used to be in the Post Office Square/Gov. Center area sometimes 2-3 days a week, but not anymore, now that I'm not working.
