Brisbane POTN: General Ramblings Thread

[Nick C.]

did you see the APEC news on TV? a female photog got shoved by the coppers and a beautiful red ringed piece of tupperware hit the ground :(
Horrific! I hope they had one of those "the following may disturb/upset some viewers" disclaimers.

[::John::]

I don't scare that easily.

Now where'd I put that spare pair of underpants...

You have a spare??

Such decadence

[NerdyNigel]

Took some pics of my new little nephew last weekend. Just going through them now.

I know! I feel like Calvin Klein!

It was actually a Christmas present a couple of years ago. They gave me a pack of seven but for the life me I couldn't work out who would wear that many pairs of underpants. So I kept one just in case and used the others for Secret Santa at work :D

Cute shot, Nigel. Love the look on his face.

Did you hear the guys near me also.... I was watching it via fox so there is a very slight delay. The guys near me are watching free to air so there is no delay. What all this means is I hear them cheer and ten seconds later see what they are on about.

COWBOYS WON! Yessss.

Take that, Stan!. xD

Oh... oops. :o

I was working, and we put it on the tv in the back room, but then the managaer came and turned it off. So I only just found out.

[luke001]

With that thrilling game out of the way, anyone watching the Australia vs Japan IIRC in the world cup tonight?

Gorgeous shot, Nigel.

I am watching the Manly game now. Wife made a comment about how much footy was on TV tonight. I pointed out that she had a TV in her sewing room if she wanted to watch something else.

She is watching the footy with me :D

[anthonyl]

Thank God for Foxtel IQ..I can record the race and watch it next day.

[anthonyl]

im streaming it live, also have the live timing going.


How do you stream it live?

[Ospi]

you can watch it via TVU player streaming SPEED TV, or you can dl SopCast and watch from 2 channels there.

[-spam-]

Ok, back from sea world, have some pics processed (need more ram so i can run LR and cs2 at the same time without the pc going into "i dont like you" mode) and then fighting with the internet/wireless connection so i can actually upload something and its time for bed. So before i go, here are some pics for you to look at from today...

download that and you can watch the race live tomorrow night instead of 2 am or whenever it is. Tune into Wheels.

[Carjo]

(need more ram so i can run LR and cs2 at the same time without the pc going into "i dont like you" mode)

hahaha gotta hate that "i don't like you" mode. :lol:

Nice pics, btw. I like the (real :p) dolphin one.

I'm not that interested in motorsport (well, not as much as I used to be anyway) though I watch the V8 supercars if the tv is on channel 10 when they are on. I'd love to go to see the Bathurst 1000 one day though... :D

[NerdyNigel]

Thank God for Foxtel IQ..I can record the race and watch it next day.

Thank god for MythTV (http://www.mythtv.org/modules.php?name=MythFeatures), except I can only record 2 simultaneous FTA DTV channels at the moment. Hopefully organise a satellite card for it soon. Probably try out SelectTV (http://www.selectv.com/) for the subscription so I'm not locked into a contract.

you might be hard pressed seeing it on chan 10 now that it is on 7 :lol:

[Carjo]

Is it? haha since when? I think most of the time I've turned the tv on, flicked the channel once or twice and it has been on without me paying attention to the channel number. That's the most logical explanation anyway. :p

Great shot Nigel, needs to be framed.

Yeh, I was also redesigning the front end of my web site. You know, one of those spur of the moment things you do. :( I used to have a redirect that chucked people into the photogallery but now I added a WordPress blog. I've started integrating it to the Coppermine photogallery

http://steadyhands.net/

[::John::]

That's looking slick.

I really love that Barn Owl shot, too.

Thanks, Next stage is to extend the integration so that i can have the random and recently added image thumbs appear on the front page. It's all plugins, not all that hard but finding and getting them running is the fun part.

I went to bed when the score was in the 40's .... more than doubled that in the end.:rolleyes:

[Ospi]

THey certainly picked it up in the 2nd half, 1st wasnt impressive but i think we have made improvements over the last test matches we have played. Wales will be tough.

[HelenThura]

gah, why does lens buying have to be so hard??? The low light music photography that I do dictates that I need fast glass and of course they are just so creamy as well and of course after having the Sigma 30mm 1.4 and borrowing Feng's 50mm 1.4, the idea of going back to f1.8 is like pulling teeth.

The 30mm and the 50mm on the 350d were just about perfect in length coverage. On the 5d the 50mm replaces the 30mm and then I am tossing up between the 85mm or the 135mm to replace the 50mm. The 135mm is f/2 and one of the finest lenses Canon has ever made I am thinking mmm only f/2 and whilst I would sell a toe for the 85mm 1.2 that is just a bit out of reach at the moment so that takes me to the 85mm 1.8 which is also a mighty fine lens but dam why couldn't Canon do what they do with the 50mm have the basic 85mm 1.8 which is cheap as chips, then a 85mm 1.4 usm which is the mid price and then the 85mm 1.2L.

gah don't even get me started on the wide angle options.

I think I will get the 85mm 1.8 decisions decisions decisions

[Ospi]

85 1.8, decision made, now go buy!!!

[Nick C.]

Heres another pic of my nephew holding his big sisters finger.
Wonderful shot, Nigel. I agree with Greg - frame it!

85 1.8, decision made, now go buy!!!
135 f/2, decision time extended! :D

[asxu]

the 85/1.8 is a nice lens, i tried it at photo continental.

[HelenThura]

mmm I got the 85mm but the 135 is on my list to get soon, well asap

[wakko]

85 1.8 is about as perfect a replacement for the 50 1.4 as you're gonna get. 85 1.2's exy... you can try mine if you like, but it's heavy and slow... but it's great for portraits.... not too sure about your gigs though :)

[asxu]

you don't wait for anything do you? ;p

[wakko]

mmm I got the 85mm but the 135 is on my list to get soon, well asap

LOL! :D

nice... :D grats on the new toy :D

[Trumples]

Morning you lot!

Helen bad girl, tut tut another lens!!!!

Drool......



Do we have a time for the Monday night mega-meet?

[HelenThura]

you don't wait for anything do you? ;p


wait??? online shopping is what the net was made for.

I was sort of waiting for Feng to get home from church to talk me into getting the timer remote for the 5d for an extra $100 instead of the standard remote. Though he must have talked to me with the force because I decided on the timer one.

Now I am off for the day - going to southbank and then to Bulimba to see a Midsummer night's dream in the park. sweet stuff

[Primm]

Aaarghhh! I can't come Monday. :-( Just remembered my son has a Dr appointment at 6:30 - do docs actually work that late? It took us 3 months to get, so I can't cancel and reschedule (trust me, this crossed my mind! ;-) )

I'll definitely be there Tuesday though.

[HelenThura]

you don't wait for anything do you? ;p
That's what I thought. Didn't realise she was going to buy it this instant.

So what does this timer remote do for the extra $100??

[Greg_C]

Nice shot Reese.

[-Pleiades-]

Where are all the people....? I'm bored!

[luke001]

[Greg_C]

I'm baaaaack. Been out for a meeting with the bride and groom (friends of ours) for next week and sussed out the park where the ceremony will be. Workable location I guess.

[-Pleiades-]

pfft, where's the fun in that (for me)!

I was thinking of going for a walk and taking photos but Im feeling really crappy so I talked myself out of it :(

[Ospi]

Been studying fluids, did you know that to reduce the drag over a non aerodynamically shaped object, it is better to increase the surface turbulence in order to reduce the overall pressure drag on the object?

Well you know now, who knows that that will come in handy for you all.

and on that note the light outside is quite amazing, pics time.

[Nick C.]

What is surface turbulence and how do I reduce it? I need to be able to run faster!

[Ospi]

friction between the "fluid" (in this case air) and yourself, since the human body is not overly aerodynamic, it would be better to have rougher clothing in order to reduce the overall pressure drag behind you as you sprint.

HOWEVER

If you can create a triangle shaped object and stick it to your back, this pressure drag will be significantly reduced and you might get away with running naked as you wish to do.

[Greg_C]

na better strap up any dangly bits to reduce drag:wink:

[-Pleiades-]

wasn't there a runner who made the news a while back for his dangly bits flying everywhere?

That's ok Kinnon. Bit of a drive for ya ;)

Give me a call if you do change your mind ok?

Will do. Haven't been feeling 100% of late, don't want to tip the balance and make myself feel really crappy instead of a little crappy :rolleyes:

[wakko]

Will do. Haven't been feeling 100% of late, don't want to tip the balance and make myself feel really crappy instead of a little crappy :rolleyes:

Well you know now, who knows that that will come in handy for you all.

and on that note the light outside is quite amazing, pics time.

That's interesting to me 'cos I think that's the principle behind the "dimples" on a golf ball:D

I heart golf!

[Meaty0]

lol, that would not be a pretty sight.

Hmmm. I think you're right; just look at any keen cyclist. Gotta keep the dangly bits in check there.

[Ospi]

actually i have never thought of that Paul, thats actually quite interesting. Always good to find something what actually uses all this theory work and puts it to practical use.

[Meaty0]

Will do. Haven't been feeling 100% of late, don't want to tip the balance and make myself feel really crappy instead of a little crappy :rolleyes:

When you say "crappy", do you mean:

A. Needing several changes of underwear.

B. Depressed and feeling sorry for oneself.

C. Chundering every morning, crying a lot, craving weird foods.

D. Sore throat, aching joints, pesky husband.

you may select more than one response

[Ospi]

K from wikipedia:

Firstly, the dimples delay separation of the boundary layer from the ball. Early separation, as seen on a smooth sphere, causes significant wake turbulence, the principal cause of drag. The separation delay caused by the dimples therefore reduces this wake turbulence, and hence the drag.

Indeed you are right, im actually quite chuffed about that. just finished work on boundary layers as well so it all makes perfect sense now!!

[-Pleiades-]

ummm.....

E. kinda of a sore throat, bit of a headache, not heaps of energy and just the can't-be-bothereds and the mehs but I don't have a cold or the flu.

(and no DEFINATLEY not 'c' thank goodness!)

love the photograph meatyo

Thanks. But it's not that good now that I look. The Photoshop action I use to convert my images for upload and display oversharpened the image....grrrr.

[PeacePlanet]

ummm.....

E. kinda of a sore throat, bit of a headache, not heaps of energy and just the can't-be-bothereds and the mehs but I don't have a cold or the flu.

(and no DEFINATLEY not 'c' thank goodness!)

Poor thing Kinnon ... :(. I am into alternatives, try honey and apple cider vinegar perhaps ???

Just got back from a big shopping and that ... Went to the Northey Street Windsor, it was pretty cool. Got a few shots of the butterflies finally !!! Also, a nice surprise was that they held a multicultural festival over there as well ... so some candids ...

Just a quick catch up for now... time for dinner ...

Anybody's into Australian Idol ??? :D

Enjoy your nights ...

Hey Feng....I just realised that Jess is a REAL little AUSSIE! Is that correct? Hmmm. You'll have to buy a suitable hat with corks on it and post a picture.

Here's a snap from a friends wedding a week ago. They rode into the reception on his motorcross bike. Even had to go up a couple of stairs. All went without a hitch, luckily.
