Hehe...thanks. Lighting was courtesy of Greg who was holding a reflector out of shot.:D

Should have taken the whole thing Paul .. would be a nice pose with the model and the reflector holder in sight ... kinda like candid .... ;)

[Greg_C]

Nice shots there Sam, and I like the business card, simple and clear.

PS. I was a way from the office on Friday so didn't see anything reply to the email I sent to the possible buyer. I probably won't be back at my desk until Tuesday so do hold it on my account if you get a offer. Rostered day off tomorrow yeh!!

i suppose you would... haha

but it looks like there is a lot of people with that name for their little photography businesses. It took ages to find an email host where sh.photo@whatever.com wasnt already taken :confused:

shphoto.com.au and shphoto.net.au are both still unregistered, but you need a business name (in theory;)) to register one of these. Then you can be xxx@shphoto.com.au:D:D

I use www.featuredomains.com to register my domains through.

[wakko]

I didn't look at the 5D at all.:D Rather proud of that. ;)

Yes I DID notice that too! :) I'm proud of you... :) heh...

I agree with this comment.

I use www.featuredomains.com (http://www.featuredomains.com) to register my domains through.

I thought you could use a company to register on your behalf? I'm not sure... all of my domains are .com, .net and .org as I don't ever know where I'm going to be in the next 10 years or so... and want it to be country independent (although it's sorta US, but not really).

I use GoDaddy for .com, .net and .org registrations mainly so it keeps them all with my first one :).

there is usually something in the questions you fill out, business name and abn. My steadyhands is a .net for the same reason, to be independant. My carlill ones are .net and .net.au, and for the .au we got the business questions. I just filled in my wife's business name and abn 'cause we do share a surname now.;) I have the .net.au parked as a redirected subdomain at the moment.

I think some of the companies are more militant about enforcement than others. Melbourne IT comes to mind. The wife used to use them for registrations and they were a bit more expensive that some of the others, or at least were then.

yeah that's right... www.jumba.net.au is quite cheap for hosting, but I found setting dedicated vps hosting a bit of a pain (i.e. no way to set up ns records on your own, and having to request the support guys to do it. You could always leave the DNS server at jumba which wouldn't have any sideeffects.

Hey Feng,

How about running a coffee making workshop? I try and try and try and I just can't get the patterns on the top of my coffee like you do. (And it probably doesn't taste as good as yours either.:D)

[-Pleiades-]

What a day, I'm buggered!

I think I'm having a blonde moment, I searched here and google for the midnight sepia plugin and both searches came up with this site (http://www.atncentral.com/download.htm) but I can't find the plug in anywhere there. Does anyone have a link to it?

[HelenThura]

Went to see my old schools musical last night for the second time (im still on good terms with the drama department there so i got in for free) and took the camera along.


Didnt think i did too bad for a first go at stage photography. Learnt a lot for next time though



I knew just by looking at the first photo, that had to be Disco Inferno!!! Mum's school (Redcliffe did that as their musical last year, I had a ball taking photos from my seat) off to look at yours.

Oh, and another thing Greg, you said Coppermine has different themes or skins, where would I find them?

yeah that'd be fun. can have it at my place... :) have a nice wall for projectory goodness (cept my projector sucks... i.e. not calibrated, poor colour representation etc). but yeah... i'm easy for it :)

What a day, I'm buggered!

I had a 2 hour afternoon nap when i got home after a play with Jessica. Good to know you got home safely.

Yep, safe and sound. Although I did take the 'scenic' way home :rolleyes:

It's right there on the page you've found. You click the link marked ZIP in the right hand column. I downloaded the "Midnight Action Collection", but have only been able to get two of them to work. (After a three or more hour drive, I can understand that you might not see them though.) :-D

[-Pleiades-]

I must be blind as. I can't see anywhere on the page where it is.

Top, middle, bottom?

[-Pleiades-]

ok, ignore that, found it :oops:

I'm tired, that's my excuse....

Welcome to the Brissie thread. What ya get, huh, huh.:D

Rules of this thread are:-
1. Watch out for the subliminal messages that others people send (not me;)) about buying new camera gear. (by a new lens, buy a new lens)

2. Have fun and ask lots of questions because we'll all try to help.

Seriously though, if you haven't read though all of our drivel then I'll let you know we very regularly get together for social photo outings where we share our knowledge.

[connormmii]

I have a Canon 30D and have just gotten a Sigma 50-500mm EX DG APO HSM lens (more are planned). Here are a coule of shots i have taken so far. I am totally new to using a DSLR so i am still on the bottom of a very steep learning curve.

Cool, nice work there with the Bigma. You mada a bad move by actually saying you want to buy more lenes.;) We are a known bad influence. On one of our outings Tina (catsith) borrowed my 10-22 UWA lens for a little while and then had one two weeks later.:D

[connormmii]

like i said im learning so it will be a slow, steady and expensive process;).
but im hoping to get there soon.

I echo Greg's welcome... but yeah... don't believe him about not being a subliminal messenger... although... it depends if you count software as being camera gear :) probably not ;) hahaha... *buy new lens... 5D for the win... you know you want to...*

Great shots!!! :) I'd love something with reach... my only real decent long lens is a 100mm macro, and it ain't even long :)

[shayb]

like i said im learning so it will be a slow, steady and expensive process;).

You got that right. Welcome.

[connormmii]

Here is a moon shot i took last night & 100% crop. This was handheld at 500mm. I am pretty happy with this shot and can't wait for friday night as it is a full moon.

[Greg_C]

Nice Moon shot connormmii.

Tina has already bought IMatch and started using it this morning, well done.:D Told you I should get a commission.;) To those others who attended our little software demo yesterday, let me know if you do the same as I can give you some of those scripts that automatically add the Category Info, along with some instructions on what to do with them.

[Greg_C]

Here's a little still life (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?p=3278409#post3278409) from tonight.

[catsith]

scenic drive again kinnon! oh dear. You must come to brissie more often!

welcome connor

yep, i got imatch, and after a small hiccup, and help from greg, i have it now under control (haha, at least, i hope so!). It will be an invaluable tool down the track, especially for my images i enter into comps, because apart from 2 clubs, there are also interclubs, and nationals. I can then also mark those i got merits and honours for. It will take me some time to catalogue it all, but once done, it will be a breeze.

[Nick C.]

Sounds like Sunday was a success - good to hear!

Greg, how much money have you spent of Tina's since we first got together? ;)

Hi connormmii, welcome!

Ooops, I feel bad because I was amost going to say follow me part of the way. Sorry.:o:o

[-Pleiades-]

lol, it's all good Greg, I saw places of brisbane I never had before. I ended up going north somehow and I found the hospital then was on the road to the sunny coast and somehow I made it back south again and once I found the storey bridge I was right, sign posted all the way :D

[-Pleiades-]

Heeeeelp......I just downloaded the midnight sepia plugin and it's an .atn file, how do I get that to work?

[Greg_C]

Heeeeelp......I just downloaded the midnight sepia plugin and it's an .atn file, how do I get that to work?
Just copy the .atn file to somewhere like this
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS2\Presets\Photoshop Actions\Midnight Actions.atn

But subsiitute Adobe Photoshop CS2 for Elements 5 or which ever version you had. Then when you load Elements you have to go to the actions pallet, it might be at the top or on the right, and click on the little arrow in the top right corner of the actions box. This will bring up a menu from which you can select load action. Do this and then select the one you just downloaded. After this it will appear in the actions pallet.

The midnight actions are all great but only tend to work well on a limited range of photos. I have had a bit of success with the sepia on portrait stuff, which is unusual.

[-Pleiades-]

Cheers Greg, there's no 'photoshop actions' folder in the 'presets' folder, so do I just create one?

I've downloaded a few from the site so I'll give them all a go. If it improves one photo out of 100 I'll be happy!

Mmm not sure, consult the help file and see what it says. I used to have Elements 2 and it couldn't run Photoshop actions, but I though that had changed now.

[Nick C.]

Can you not just drag the file into the Photoshop window to load it? Or does that do something different?
Not sure if that would work for Elements too?

[-Pleiades-]

Help file?

Nope, doesn't work Nick.

[Nick C.]

Any luck yet, Kinnon? You're using Elements 5?

[-Pleiades-]

Nope, still no luck :(

Yep, elements 5. I've followed the instructions in photoshop to install plug ins, I've followed the instructions on the website, I've tried gregs, but still no luck :cry:

[Nick C.]

I've just done some looking around and found this:

http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/pselements/qt/actions.htm

Elements 5 is toward the bottom. Hopefully that will get you going.

[-Pleiades-]

Thanks for that Nick, appreciate it.

I've followed all the instructions but I don't have a file called 'photocreations' in my photoshop directory :(

[Nick C.]

Hmmm, not having much luck are you :confused:
I assume you mean your photoshop elements directory (just making sure we're looking in the right place to start with). The stuff I just read seemed to suggest that that folder should be there (in the "5.0" folder under the elements directory). Maybe if it isn't just create what you need to and see how it goes (if you haven't already)

[-Pleiades-]

Sorry, yeah in my elements directory. I tried creating the folder with no luck and I tried creating the sub folder as well and still nothing.

I got the sh*ts with it all about half an hour ago. I'll sleep on it for the night and hopefully have more luck when I come home from work tomorrow.... :S

[-Pleiades-]

well I didn't have any moments of briliance in my sleep sorry to say :(

Oooo Kinnon...you said a rude word:D Try this. Don't even open up Photoshop; just go to Windows "search" function (it's in the Start Menu) and type in *.atn. That will find all the action files (if there are any) and tell you where it found them. Then just add your action file to that folder:D

[wakko]

Just copy the .atn file to somewhere like this
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS2\Presets\Photoshop Actions\Midnight Actions.atn

I did a quick google, and they said this:

Then put the Actions in Some Folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\5.0\Photo Creations\special effects\Some Folder

That was here (http://www.photoshopelementsuser.com/forum/showthread.php?t=23689)

So I guess C:\Documents and Settings\\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\5.0\Photo Creations\special effects\Midnight Actions ???? no idea :| sounds a bit weird to me :|

In Vista, I'm not too sure (is this on your Vista machine?).

Edit: The more I google, the more confused I get :) I might rest my brain for a bit ;)

but I found this which echo's Greg's original comment:

Midnight Action Collection
Dave Jaseck has pulled his four popular "midnight" actions together into one set--Midnight Blue, Gold, Sepia--and the new Midnight Black. These at last equal and may surpass some commercial filters designed to achieve the same effects. The color tone can be adjusted by putting an action stop at the color balance step.
Also included is an Elements2 version for use with Ling's snapAction interface. The .atn files go into Elements's "Presets/Photoshop Actions" folder. The .xml file goes into Elements's "HTMLPalettes/Recipes/LUI/add" folder. Then run snapActions and you should see "Menu: Dave Jasecks's Midnight actions" on the Left. Move it to the Right and hit Generate.
http://www.atncentral.com/Zip_Actions/Midnight_Action_Collection.zip

Edit again:

Found this site (http://www.coverdude.com/pslist.htm) (where that quote was from)... are those actions legit?!

[Nick C.]

Don't worry, Feng I'll back you up with some googling of my own :)

Good point about Vista being different - didn't even think of that. The file system is quite different. I did a bit of looking around on my machine and Google and come up with this.

Assuming you are using Vista, try plopping your *.atn files into a new folder in this directory (hopefully this exists - I'm sort of guessing this is where you'd find it in Vista):

C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\5.0\Photo Creations\special effects\

P.S. The 'ProgramData' folder will be hidden by default so you'll have to show hidden files and folders to see it.

[catsith]

sorry, can't help kinnon, i am too backward for that. Greg sent me a pm with some stuff to do, and i am scratching my head just reading it! Good luck.

Ok, going to take some photos of the gear tonight then im posting the for sale ad tomorrow morning. Really need it gone asap so i can start shooting again.

I havnt touched it since i decided to sell up, too scared of damaging it now. Even more so than just after i bought it :lol:

[-Pleiades-]

Wow, thanks for the help everyone.

Paul, me say a rude word? Nooo.....you must be imaginig things......

Working with Vista, did a search for the .atn files, found them but like Nick said, they're hidden. How do I unhide them?

In windows explorer, you can hit the alt key... this will bring up the legacy menu... then hit tools > options... and you can go to the 2nd tab like the good old xp and show hidden files...

Thanks Feng, just sorted it out.

Now for the test....going to try and load the .atn files.

Wish me luck!

still not working.

gah :( that's no fun :(

where are you looking for the action?

another note... may want to check here: http://www.photoshopelementsuser.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9596

seems rather helpful... dunno if it's the same for vista or not :|

[-Pleiades-]

looking? In photoshop? Everywhere.

I've tried placing the .atn file in already existing folders, I've tried creating new ones, I've made the little thumbnail image, I've done what photoshop has told me to do "To select an additional plug-ins folder
You can select an additional plug-ins folder in which to load compatible plug-ins stored with another application.
In the Editor, choose Edit > Preferences > Plug-Ins & Scratch Disks
In the Preferences dialog, select Additional Plug-ins Folder, select a folder from the list, and click Choose.
To display the contents of a folder, double-click the directory. The path to the folder appears in the preferences window.
Note: Do not select a location inside the Plug-ins folder for Photoshop Elements.
Restart Photoshop Elements to load the plug-ins."

I don't know what now.....

[-Pleiades-]

I DID IT! I DID IT! *happy dance* IT WORKS

YAY :D:D:D

[wakko]

YAY! \o/

what did you do?

[-Pleiades-]

YAY! \o/

what did you do?

I knew you were going to ask me that! Um.....not sure exactly, just about to try and install another plug in and hope I can do it again!

After all that I forgot to mention that my 70-200 2.8 IS arrived today, and my goodness it's heavy! Can't wait to have a play with it, but I'm working sunrise to set tomorrow so I guess I'll have to wait till thursday :(

[wakko]

mmmm i love that lens :) heheh... I want one :( but I want a 5D too :(

lol @ not knowing what you did??!

I think plugins are easier than actions... well so I read while looking :)

I was looking at this last page of messages, and it's quite funny cos it's almost like it's just us chatting :)

[-Pleiades-]

Nice, just installed 2 more plug ins :D Yay me!

The trick was to name the little 64x64 psd file exactly the same as the action (thanks to a link you gave me Feng). Then I just created the new plugins folder in the effects file and it's all good :D

[-Pleiades-]

lol, it does hey. Just more pages for people to sift through.

I'm happy with my plugins working, that will do me for the night. I will conquer actions later :D

I really can't wait to go out for a shoot with the new lens, I'm going to have to build up my muscles though.

[wakko]

yay :D

have fun with the new lens... I'm so jealous :( 5D AND 70-200 2.8IS :(

I put a Price Check thread onto OCAU to see... they reckon I'd get about 2K for my 30D with grip and 17-85. I'd sell for around that and pay the diff for a 5D.

[-Pleiades-]

Mmmm....very do-able Feng. I got mine from the same place you got your 30D from and that was the best price I found everywhere ($3200 I *think*). Although wasn't Helen complaining that the 30D was heavy? Wait till she tries the 5D!

Maybe I should call in sick tomorrow.....

[wakko]

no she was complaining my bag was heavy... with 2 flashes, 3 lenses... plus she was carrying my tripod :)

[-Pleiades-]

lol, fair enough. Hmm....partner as a pack horse....I like that idea! My bag is so heavy with all my new gear :(

Anyway, off to bed for me, I have to get up at the crack of dawn tomorrow :(

[wakko]

have a good zzzz kinnon... glad you got your toys and your plugins working :)

where'd everyone else go? :S

[wakko]

Maybe I should call in sick tomorrow.....

just saw this??? call in sick?

just saw this??? call in sick?

Yeah, I've been working at Bunnings the past 2 days. They're doing stocktake at the moment, fun fun......can you imagine counting aisle's and aisles of nut and bolts and screws and just dusty crap......that what I had to do yesterday. And I'm in for another full day of it today.

I think I feel a cough coming on.........:rolleyes:

[wakko]

I don't think I could handle doing that... firstly I have real bad hayfever allergies to dust... and I would lose count after 10 bolts (only have 10 fingers :D)

I found a site somewhere that compare all the 1.4 TCs available and one of the Tamron Converters came up tops. It was the Tamron SP 1.4 AF Pro I think (it's at home at the moment).

So I bought one of them. It's been great and I have no complaints. It is compatible with more Canon lenses than the Canon 1.4 is too (simply because it doesn't have one of the elements protruding outwards.)

Would it be sane to sell my 400d kit gear to buy a used 20d and then maybe the 85mm f1.8 that i had been longing for since getting the camera? I could use the kit lenses that my dad got with his 400d because he doesnt use them any more until i saved up for some replacements.

Now, anyone know of a used 20d anywhere (besides the one at teds in the city)

Edit: wooh, 200th post

[-spam-]

Also, I just got an email back from my drama teacher from last year who directed the musical that i posted photos of the other day. She wants to buy some of them, but i dont know what to do. She (like everyone else from my drama class) is pretty much family so i dont really want to charge for them.

Should i just give them to her as a gift to say thank you for helping me so much and giving me a chance and the space to just be who i wanted to be? (our drama studio at school was the only place i could really just be "me")

[connormmii]

Well if you do sell them that saves you having to sell off your gear. But i know what you mean it is a hard decision to make. Trade them for beer:D

how much would you want to spend? :D I'm looking to sell (possibly) my 30D with grip and 17-85EFS lens with filters and hood etc to fund a move to a 5D (dammit kinnon!!! :))

That's a tough call. I know for me I'm not in the business of photography (yet... thinking of tying it to my business just to get more perks... :)) so I know for me, because I'm not pro and it's a hobby, I'd give them.

Don't let that stop you from charging or her from paying if she REALLY wants to.

If i did sell them, i wouldnt really want to charge too much. They were the result of my first attempt at it and i know that i could have done better with some more practice and if i had taken the 400d.

Name a price, seriously. I dont know if i would need the grip just yet though... Looks like those subliminal messages really got you bad :lol:

Its still a hobby for me, but its an area of photography that i would really like to make a business out of. Im thinking ill give her a cd with the edited photos on it and put my business card with it. That way i could still get some more business from the school, especially since im doing the promo shots for the next big play they are doing next term.

This could work out quite well for everyone. Feng gets his 5d, i get a 30d and stay with canon and you get the grip :)

Damn those subliminals!!!!!!!! :D

Um... I got this breakdown from OCAU:

30D $1200 maybe
BG-E2 $160-80 with batteries
17-85 $520-30
Filters not much they are only 67mm ones. $40 total

It's about what I expected... which almost rounds it to about $2000 for the package. I didn't really want to sell unless I could get around $2K for it... bearing in mind there are those undocumented things like a Katz Eye focussing split screen installed which cost me a bucket load.

So I'd probably say roughly ~$1850 for the following:

30D Enthusiast Kit (17-85 bundle)
Hoya 67mm Pro 1 UV(0)
Hoya 67mm Pro 1D CPL
Hood for lens
Katz Eye Focussing Screen

Bought from PhotoBuff less than 1 year ago with ~7500 actuations.

and probably ~$160-180 for the following:

BG-E2 w/ 2 Aftermarket Batteries

Doubt I'd want to move TOO much from that considering the filters being Pro 1s (didn't agree with the OCAU guy... i mean... who gets 2 pro 1 filters for $40? even 2nd hand?? dreaming! :)) and the lack of mention of the Katz Eye focussing screen.

*shrug*... again... it's a subliminal message sell.

[-spam-]

How many clicks to you reckon it has on it now? That katz eye screen is a big plus, i guess going from past experience i would be using manual focus a lot for the stage stuff so it would help a bit.

If i can manage to off load my current stuff, i will probably take it. Its about what i was going to end up spending on a k10d and 16-45mm pentax lens anyway. :D

Yeah no big drama...

Let me know if you offload your gear... and I'll go investigate a 5D from the buff miester.

It's done ~7500 actuations.

I'm up to my 7448th shot I think, but I reset it at about 30 after my test shots. So I rounded it up to ~7500. :)

of course, just re read your other post :oops:

how hard would it be to remove katz eye screen? i was reading up on it and it said that it affected spot metering. no big drama if it wont come out, id just have to remember to take a few test shots first.

Easy as pie. I installed it, and it's easy to remove.... litereally take off the lens, put a bit of protective paper between mirror and you... toothpick to pop open the little bracket which holds it in... take out bracket with tweezers... tip camera back... screen lies onto paper... take out with tweezers holding onto edge... put original screen back in, and reaffix the bracket thing. ;) 5 min job for me... and I'm hopeless at delicate things :)

Didn't seem to affect spot metering too much to me... but I may have a false sense of what's accurate :) heheh

I forgot... the camera includes original screen too! :D HAHAHA :D

well done kinnon, i'm impressed. Have fun playing with your new lens, look forward to seeing some piccies.

I don't think I could handle doing that... firstly I have real bad hayfever allergies to dust... and I would lose count after 10 bolts (only have 10 fingers :D)

I have the worst allergies too but i'm on a high dose of steroids at the moment for other things so I'm all good at the moment in that respect :D I think I'm brain dead at the moment though from all the mind numbing counting.

When I was driving to work this morning there was an amazing sunrise happening over the valley with the mist laying low and the hills and mountains poking out looking like little green islands in a sea of white with golden highlights.....and I didn't have my camera :cry:

Then...while I was working there was a beautiful sunset, vibrant colours near the horizon with stormy grey clouds high in the sky.

Not a happy camper.

My Moon Shot

Absolutely great shot there. I must have a go at a moon shot some night.

Here are some shots of poisonous, but beautiful, mushrooms (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?p=3290572#post3290572).

My Moon Shot

What settings did you use? If you don't mind sharing that is.:)

[wakko]

That's a great shot Connor... would be interested in your settings too... seems like your ISO is a bit high? or is that just loss during compression?

[wakko]

I have the worst allergies too but i'm on a high dose of steroids at the moment for other things so I'm all good at the moment in that respect :D

I feel sorry for anyone who has allergies... cos I know how much it frustrates me :| I'm on telfast at the moment, but I have a sneaking suspicion it's not doing anything for me anymore.

[connormmii]

What settings did you use? If you don't mind sharing that is.:)

ISO 800 F16 1/800 Shutter speed. Taken with Bigma. If anyone can suggest a better setting i am all ears as it is a full moon on friday and i just got my Kenko 1.4x TC.

[wakko]

Hey connor. The settings seem fine... just try putting the iso down to 100 and playing with your shutters etc... if you're using a tripod, the shutter speed wont' matter. I find with the ISO at 800, especially with moon shots, they tend to show through a little bit of noise.

so in summary of my mess of a sentence... lower ISO, adjust shutter to suit ;)

[Meaty0]

Well I've never done a moon shot, but I remember that any shot can be made sharper by opening the aperture to larger than f:11 to avoid diffraction effects. I'll have to have a go.

Woohoo.....let's all shoot the moon on Friday and post our results here (or in another thread...:D)

Hi Guys :)

I'm hoping to get involved in the whole POTN Brisbane thing now that I'm living here again. Take it easy on me though, I've hardly picked up my camera this year with various things going on.

Really looking forward to getting involved! I feel a little like I'm coming back from the wilderness!


Woohoo.....let's all shoot the moon on Friday and post our results here (or in another thread...:D)

Yes! I feel that sudden motivation to get my camera out, blow some dust off it and do something!!

Actually I did get it out last weekend - here's a very quick snap of my little 4 month old neice - no PP yet.

Cheers,
Mat.

The over the counter stuff does nothing for me anymore, the claratyne used to be great but for the past couple of years I've been using Rhinocourt, not the over the counter one but the prescription one, I find it's the only thing that takes away most of my everyday symptoms. I still can't be home when Aaron does the vacuuming or if I wear something that I haven't for a while it stll makes me sneeze, oh and cats....don't get me started on cats! They nearly kill me!

Like I said before I'm on high dosages on sterioids for something else at the moment so i feel I can take on the world :D I should go to my in-laws and pet their cat and see what happens.

[Nick C.]

Hi Guys :)
Hello stranger! Good to see you back here.

connor, I agree with Feng about bringing down the ISO if possible. Maybe you could try and pile some stuff together to build sort of a sandbagging-like support on a table that would hold you setup in place?

[wakko]

mmmm Claratyne stopped working for me too... hrmm.. I've heard of Rhinocourt... So far Telfast 120s are ok for me... but barely :) basically sorta stops the nose from sniffling... but as you probably heard on Sunday, still a bit furfy... :)

Sandbagging!!! that's the word! :) I knew someone would know what I was sorta trying to imply :) hahaha

[-Pleiades-]

Feng, if the Telfast completely stop working I recommend the Rhinocourt. Even just one spray in each nostril every couple of days really helps. No major side effects either.

Phernergen (sp?) help too but it's an antihistimne so it leaves you feeling drowsy and I find i always feel dopey the next day, or just dopier than usual! :rolleyes:

[Nick C.]

I once had a temporary allergy to salicylates where my lips and nose area would swell up. Sure did make for a funny face :). For me, I found Zyrtec always worked pretty quick in bringing the swelling down.

[-Pleiades-]

Saliclates? :S

Hrmm... I used to use the following cocktail...

1. Claratyne or Telfast - Tablet
2. Beconase - Nasal Spray (Steroid based too)
3. Opticrom - Eye Drops

Then I decided to go cold turkey for about 1.5 years while we were trying for our daughter... then one day (after helen was already preggers) I had such a bad sneezing fit that my ear had this ring in it... and I couldn't hear properly out of it... It'd also hear pitches wrong which worried me because I love playing music and play mostly by ear... and not being able to hear right was scary... so I started taking just Telfast again... and been 'ok' since.

heheheh jube lips :P *grin* I heard about zyrtec too... that's tablet form too right? fast acting i heard... but I dunno how long it lasts?? like 24 hour? how does it react to alcohol? I know some allergy stuff is reactive to alcohol or whatever?

[wakko]

Saliclates? :S

Asprin is a good example... My cousin was allergic to Disprin (asprin based). Same symptoms too :)

[Nick C.]

Asprin is a good example... My cousin was allergic to Disprin (asprin based). Same symptoms too :)
Yeah, aspirin would probably be the most common example of a salicylic based medicine. It is found naturally in certain foods as well. Tomatoes, I discovered, are particularly high in salicylates. Had to avoid anything with tomato in it for about seven months. You just don't realise how much food actually has tomato or tomato paste/sauce in it.

Yep, Zyrtec is tablet form. I'm not sure, I think it was a once a day thing too. Can't comment on the alcohol - not really a drinker.

[-Pleiades-]

How did you have a tempory allergy Nick? I thought any kind of allergy would be permanant.

I try going cold turkey every now and then just to give my body a break but it nearly kills me. I instantly get sinusitis and it wont go away so I've just given up, probably does me more harm then good anyway.

[Nick C.]

That was always my understanding too. I have no idea why the allergy suddenly developed one day and equally no idea why it disappeared again :confused: I'm just happy it wasn't permanent.

[HelenThura]

so we have jumped from discussing web sites to subliminal messages (what is the best price for a 5D body around???) to allergies and the best cocktail to take.

I'm a girl who pops telfast like it is smarties when I go places where there are little flying creatures who like to attack but other than that I glad I don't have to the rest of the time.

Hi Mat :D

and now for a photo to share.

For the moon shot - keeping those same values you have - iso 800 @ 1/800 @ f/16 you can slide those values down to iso 200 @ 1/800 @ f/8 and maintain the same exposure - I haven't taken any photos of the moon but I have no reason as to why f/8 wouldn't be fine for the moon to maintain DoF.

I wish all my allergies would just disappear. I've been quiet sick lately, in and out of hospital and doctors surgeries and they can't figure out whats wrong with me. I saw a gastro doc on tuesday and his latest guess is some kind of food allergy coupled with some kind of auto-immune disease. Now I have to make a food diary of every little thing that I eat for the next 2 months to try and figure out what's making me sick. Fun fun!

Anyone like puzzles? :P

Good question on the 5D price Helen :)

I think I may have just sold my 30D :) but not sure :)

I was going to buy mine off the Buff miester I think. It's grey, but it's okay these days... had a good experience with him on my 30D purchase... and his price isn't too bad with an AU ABN and Tax Invoice for my company :)

I'll probably get the 5D, grip and a couple of batteries.

GROUP BUY! I know Paul and Greg want one ;) ;) ;)

In NZ, I can't eat crustacean (crabs and lobsters), but in AU I can. :)

I got mine from Photobff, I had no idea an ABN could get you a cheaper price though, I still have my ABN from the business :(

I was thinking about getting the grip as well, but I was having a bit of a play with my 5D, 70-200 and flash last night in the lounge room and after about 5 minutes my arms were in major pain. I'm going to have to get me back to the gym!

That sounds pretty right, Rob. We'll say I had an intolerance then.

That's no good, Kinnon. It's no fun when the doctor's don't know what's wrong. Gets expensive too.

Tell me about it. About a month ago I had to have an endoscopy and colonoscopy done and because I couldn't wait to go through the public system I had to go private. Cost me $1400 and I had to use the money that I was saving for a laptop. I think the total medical expenses for me over the past few months would be well over $2000, getting close to three. At least I can claim it on tax though.

NAh just means you can write it off... Don't get any special price for having an ABN.

I walked around AU zoo with my 30D/Grip and 70-2002.8IS too and it wasn't too bad... too about 4G in photos that day :)

Kinnon, I would rig up your 5d with the 70-200 and the flash and use that to do weights with at home. Just lifts in each arm.

I was looking at some random blogs yesterday most of whom use the 5d and well I was looking at the bank balance and going mmm can I justify it. Though in saying that I will be holding off on buying one for a couple of weeks at least till I sort out some full time work.

I can wait Feng as still waiting for that other filter to come back in stock.
