Forget the photo of the box, where is the FF 12mm shot?;)

[HelenThura]

it is coming very very very soon
this thing is dreamy beyond belief. Hell why did I wait so long.

Aww, I missed the math lesson. I did enjoy math in high school.

Get the box and the majority of the room in one shot :lol:

[HelenThura]

I present 12mm goodness. This is straight of the camera, just a resize and little sharpen. the 12-24mm is way better on the 5d than the 350d in terms of image quality.

Is that a Furi knife in bottom right hand corner?
You just never know when you might need to chop something.

Congrats on the 5D I think I'll be skipping the 30/40/50d and going straight to the 5D too, one day....

[HelenThura]

lol Yuztoo, yes it is and it is mine!!! If I leave it in the kitchen my dad goes ooh nice knife and abuses it.

But I can't see the box. Is it hiding in that bag?

HELEN! Clean up that floordrobe young lady! Oh wait....that's my daughter's room I'm thinking of...and yours is cleaner. :-(

Does your new camera have that errr...new camera smell? Congratulations by the way.

What's that printer you have tucked away there?

[wakko]

Well technically its still on loan so its your call ;)

mmm... still undecided... I'll decide when you have the money :D HAHAHA... cos that's when it's official I guess... just keep borrowing it :D

well I am decided... but not, but am, but not, but am

[Greg_C]

Woo Hoo! I got permission from the financial controller to buy a second body, deposit is on the 40D already... hope have it in a week or two. Best part about was she totally agreed with my reasoning.

Anyone want to buy some snake oil??:wink:

lol Yuztoo, yes it is and it is mine!!! If I leave it in the kitchen my dad goes ooh nice knife and abuses it.

You have great taste in knives, I absolutely love mine (I bought the more traditional 20 cm cooks knife, but was really tempted by your east/weast one).
If you haven't already got one, I would very highly recommend the Furi Diamond Fingers sharpener. I had bought a cheapie sharpener from a homewares shop and after a few months I could see my beautiful knife being slowly ruined.

Myer have a 30% off knives and accessories atm, so this $50 sharpener is $35 and miles ahead of anythings I've seen, all my knives are now sharper than new , no burs, no dints........mmmmm..... sharpie goodness. ;)

That's the same price that PC's quoted me.

Geeeze it's windy outside.

30D body only...$1150.00 .......going once.


Found out the 30D grip fits on the 40D so I'll be keeping it.

[Greg_C]

Very nice Helen, your mum a quilter is she? My mother is very much into quilting.

[luke001]

Anyone else notice that little bit of wind outside?? Oh look...a flying cow!!

http://www.luke-hamilton.com/temp/just_some_wind.jpg

[HelenThura]

Yeah she is just slightly into quilting Greg. Does your mother belong to any of the guilds??

I just put my new baby to bed and cleaned out my camera bag of the stuff that I no longer need. I will have to spend some time re-arranging it before I head to Melb tomorrow night.

[Kelsey-Lee]

I probably won't be shooting much at Fort Lytton as i've been confirmed as a full time model . Oh, and i got my little sister a job too. :D

[Carjo]

P.S: I assume you made the 40hrs? I owe you some money! :)

She made it alright. It finished at 12 midday on Sunday, so the Hunt & Shoot people were having lunch at this organic food place and Kelsey walks over with this HUGE doner kebab. Well, she did say she was hungry. ;)

German will be fun. It's a photojournalism report type thing on fashion. Haha, yes, that's the set assignment, and yes the boys have to do it too.

Haha that'll put them in touch with their "fenimine" side! :p

A thought occured to me on the way home from BCG - I'm gonna need memory cards at some point in the near future. :confused: That's what the Cameras Direct stall at the digital meetings reminds me about - 4gB compact flash cards. :p

[Carjo]

I'm definitely sticking with PC's for developing for the time being - ther neg scans are 3090x2050 pixel resolution (or thereabouts). Plenty of room to play with for the prints. :)

ohh I like them Rob!!! Your fireworks are brilliant! I looove it :)

[HelenThura]

Oh I have a question for anyone with digital TV out there. The last day or so, what has your ABC reception been like? We are have been getting 0% on both strength and quality of signal. We are getting no ABC2, and ABC is out 90% of the time and the rest of the time it may get a weak weak signal, perhaps 30% on the strength and 10% on the quality.

:( :( I miss my ABC.

my ABC HDTV is 100% signal with 28.3 SNR
my ABC2 is 100% with 28.3 SNR as well
my ABC PDTV (Brisbane) is is ALSO 100% with 28.3 SNR

[luke001]

I was getting about 80% last night but I blame that on the wind. Looking at it now its at 99-100% and holding steady

I am in urgent need to borrow a RS80N3 release cord before I leave for Melbourne at 9 tonight. All the shops are back ordered :( :( :( :(

Hi Helen, does the 5D take the same cord as the 30D? I've got the Adidit remote for my 30D.

[-Pleiades-]

nope, different fittings sorry Greg

[-Pleiades-]

sorry, just thought I'd answer there

[Greg_C]

That's cool. Typical though, just to promote more sales.

[-Pleiades-]

oooh yeah, and it's about 3 times more expensive than the oe fo the 30D

[Greg_C]

oooh yeah, and it's about 3 times more expensive than the oe fo the 30D

I was too cheep to buy the Canon one for the 30D and bought the cheep Chinese knock off instead. Mind you, mine is radio also, which the Canon one isn't.

[-Pleiades-]

ahh, I was looking a them, but I didn't know whether to trust them or not.

I ended up getting both mine off e-bay for a better price than what I could get in a shop

[-Pleiades-]

Just re-read you post Helen, you're leaving tonight......whoops I read it before as you leaving tomorrow night. Sorry I can't help you.

Anyone here from Bne/Aus ever bought from B&H in the US?

Their prices, even when converted to AU$, seem pretty good but I seem to be stuck for options from what I read on their checkout webpages.

They don't accept paypal for Aus deliveries, c/card only. The shipping address must match your c/card billing address. For me that's a PO Box. They won't ship to a PO Box.

Unless I'm missing something, that there's a Catch-22.

Any ideas? Or Aus stores with comparable prices? I was after the Manfrotto 3021BPRO (055PROB in Aus I believe) tripod with 488RC2 head. I looked at some online stores here but they don't seem to carry those.

Try Adorama (http://adorama.com/) as well. I dont know about their shipping policies but they could be worth a try.

Yep - much "easier". It's on the way. Yay for me.

I was actually after a 055MF3 and a 488RC2 as well... but I found that they were MUCH cheaper in US than here.... like you can save a good couple of hundred all up on that combo.

Glad to see you got joy through adorama.

[troypiggo]

Thanks. Yeah, looks like a saving but there can be surprises. Shipping was US$85 or something so all up US$360, converting to AU$440 approx.

Yeah I've ordered heaps from them in the past. And YES you do have to have a credit card that matches your address. Trouble is, Australian banks won't release that information to them, so you have to wire money to their account if your order is over $1,500 USD. For orders under $1,500, you have to fax a copy of your credit card statement to them for verification purposes, (just for your first order) but once you've done that, it's Thunderbirds are GO!

I don't think either of them will ship to a PO Box number, so that's tough! Just give them your real address.

For a simpler transaction regime, try Adorama. They're not as touchy.

EDIT: Ooops ! Too late.

[troypiggo]

Thanks. Adorama was simpler. I still had to fax/email CC details, but you could put a different shipping address and the whole process just seemed easier.

I've ordered from B&H - ring them (or email or fax) and explain. They've had no problems shipping to me at whatever address I wanted- we only have PO Boxes here, no mail delivery.

[Greg_C]

I rang PC' again today because I saw they hadn't taken my deposit off of my card yet. I want to make sure they still had me down on the list for the 40D. Yep, they do, I'm no9 of about 30+ so I shouldn't have too much trouble getting one in the first shipment next week.

I hate waiting, I always want things as soon as I've decided to buy. I love to just walk into a store and say I want one of those. Mind you this is usually after a fair bit of background research so I know what I should pay. With lenses though I buy online.

Almost get the same effect as a 12mm with the 8mm fishy. Mind you, there are several on here that have adapted 10-22 to work on a 5D. The used the rear of a old 75-300. I saw a thread about this only last week I think

I think having a look around and checking Germany out too would be a good idea, seeing how cheap it all was when I was over there. Quite literally, nearly half the price we pay here. Shipping might make-up for that, but it's worth a try!

If mine is anything to go by, the advantages of adapting the 10-22 would outweigh the fact you're losing what in my opinion is a very sh*tty lens. :lol:

[Yuztoo]

Yutzoo here is the bird you have pictured in better weather conditions.

Yep that's the one, looking a tad happier too.
Know what it's called?

[Yuztoo]

All right. Riddle me this: what goes through the door without pinching itself? What sits on the stove without burning itself? What sits on the table and is not ashamed?

Is it a pot or a dish of food?

[Greg_C]

Any you guys heard anything good or bad about Merkury BP-511 Batteries?

[Meaty0]

but what happens if you want it shipped to your work address or something? are you royally screwed?

Don't know. I get mine shipped home, but you could always ask them. They're pretty good...but Adorama are easier to deal with.

[Greg_C]

Is it a pot or a dish of food?
Nope, none of those.

[Greg_C]

Greg you shameless bandwidth-user-post-increaser :-D

What, what've I done. I only posted 7 times on the last page.

[Kelsey-Lee]

My turn!:

If I say "Everything I tell you is a lie," am I telling you the truth or a lie?

:D

[Carjo]

My turn!:

If I say "Everything I tell you is a lie," am I telling you the truth or a lie?

:D

Seems rhetorical to me. 'cos if you're telling the truth then the statement is in fact a lie, but if you are lying then it is the truth. *shrugs*

The Sun

Did you google that?

I did just then :oops:

[Nick C.]

The sun? I don't get it ... sits on a stove? On a table?

[Carjo]

The sun? I don't get it ... sits on a stove? On a table?

Yeah... wouldn't it (the sunlight) lie on them instead?

[Kelsey-Lee]

It's a lie. I don't lie all of the time, but this time I did.

[wakko]

Did you google that?

I did just then :oops:

So did I :o

It's a lie. I don't lie all of the time, but this time I did.

are you lieing? :|

[Nick C.]

Okay, here's one I found:

During a world fair a group of scientists were exhibiting their advances in genetic engineering. There were cross-breeds of various bulls, cows and other domestic farm animals. Featured in the exhibit were several over-sized prize turkeys. One afternoon during the show, a woman walked up to the exhibit, shot the turkeys, and then ran out of the building. Although she was known to a number of people, nobody made any attempt to stop her.
Why?

[Kelsey-Lee]

She shot them in terms of taking a photograph. :D :p

[Greg_C]

On a rainy day, a man who lives on the 18th floor rides the elevator all the way to the lobby and goes to work. When he comes back from work, he rides the elevator all the way back to the 18th floor. On a sunny day, the man comes back from work and uses the same elevator, but this time he only takes it to the 12th floor and has to use the stairs to climb the rest of the way. Why did he have to take the stairs?

[Nick C.]

She shot them in terms of taking a photograph. :D :p
I thought that might be a tad easy with this crowd :)

[Kelsey-Lee]

Because he's a midget. On a rainy day he uses his umbrella to reach the 18th floor button.

[Greg_C]

Yep,


A man walks into a hardware store with an empty wooden barrel that weighs 4 kilograms . He puts FIVE things in the barrel and now it weighs 3 kilograms . What did he put in the barrel?

on the rainy days he has an umbrella and can reach a higher floor button with it, than when he's without.

also thanks for the bird ID.

[Yuztoo]

oops too quick for me guys..:oops:

[Kelsey-Lee]

He put five holes in the barrel.

[Greg_C]

He put five holes in the barrel.

Their boat should have never been up in the mountains in the first place.;)
