No Max.

Nearly right.

Do the same, but use "img" instead of "image" for the code.

puppet show at 3200

the black background stage shots are ok, the crowd less so

[Skrim17]

At the puppet show today this lady comes up to me and starts asking if I have that new $700.00 canon camera, I said no, but one similar to it, she asked for the model number so I said 30D. Then she goes "is that a telephonic lens?" I smiled as pleasant as could be and said "yep, sure is!" lol!

[Athena]

You're a good sport Crissa. :)

[short5]

Then she goes "is that a telephonic lens?"

:lol::lol: That is funny

[misspix]

You're a good sport Crissa. :)
Yes you are ;)

:lol::lol: That is funny
:lol: Yes it is:lol:

Crissa, I like the grain/noise in the first puppet shot.

[Skrim17]

it is a pretty big crop, if you reduce noise the puppet becomes soft(er). I have to download tonight's concert, Aztec Two Step, they were awesome.

[short5]

Hey Crissa the N.J. fire guys I know are reporting there was just a fatal wreck on the Atlantic City Expressway involveing a N.J. state trooper. He is reported okay.

[Jamie Holladay]

Hideee HO

What do you guys think of this?

http://www.24zero.com/hotrods/072807/Ford-002-pst.jpg

[Skrim17]

That is a great shot Jamie, I like.

Sad news Zane, that is about 2.5 hours south of me I think.

[short5]

Fix Or Repair Daily:lol: Don't get me wrong I own a Chevy now but have owned many fords I was happy with.

I love the old ford emblem and I think the shot is decent. It is well exposed with pretty good control of the high lights on the shiny parts. It is a bit boring though. I don't have a good enough eye to tell you what it needs but it needs something IMO. maybe a different crop so the lines are not so symmetrical? Maybe something to give it more context, like a tail light? I don't know. Also some of the reflections in the paint and chrome are distracting.

Points well taken, thanks. Reflections couldn't be helped as it was at a "show." I was very please with the exposure of all the shots today with the 30D. Take a look at this one:

http://www.24zero.com/hotrods/072807/Ford-001-pst.jpg

The focal point was the emblem. That may have been a bad idea. You guys/gals tell me. The DOF may not be shallow enough on the front of the truck, I have not decided.

[short5]

ooo thats what I meant by more context, I really like that shot. The first may have been better if it was just a close shot of the emblem

[Jamie Holladay]

Thanks Zane. How did the DOF feel to you or is the image to small for you to tell?

[Jamie Holladay]

one more for fun.

http://www.24zero.com/hotrods/072807/327-001-pst.jpg

[Skrim17]

Jamie I am not seeing your images?

[Jamie Holladay]

That is odd. I checked the server and it is ok. You should be able to see them ok. Are you getting a red X. I am getting that on some peoples photos on other threads.

[puddlepirate44]

Jamie I am not seeing your images?

Is you monitor on?

*ducks before the slap cometh*

Off to catch up. Toodles.

[Skrim17]

Now I see them, dunno what happened? I LOVE the last one the best of the bunch Jamie. The second is a little too much, too busy for my taste.

[Jamie Holladay]

A few minutes ago I could see CDS's bird thing, now I can't. There may be a proble with POTN's DNS. Never know.

[Jamie Holladay]

Glad you can see them. Thanks. The 30D is growing on me.

[Skrim17]

I don't know what I ever did before the 'wheel' Jamie!!

[short5]

dammit now I have 6 shot in d.c. including a 3 or 4 year old shot in the ankle:evil:

[Jamie Holladay]

It was a cute show.

[Jamie Holladay]

Maxy update: I am going to the store for Skoal and Ice Cream BBL

[Skrim17]

Are you going to go take pics Zane?

[Skrim17]

what a combo Jamie!! Sure you aren't pregnant?

[short5]

Are you going to go take pics Zane?

No there are 2 stringers on scene. I do close convenient stuff I know I can get the scoop on. I don't run far unless I know I am getting paid.

[short5]

what a combo Jamie!! Sure you aren't pregnant?

:lol:I like that last shot Crissa it is cute.

[Skrim17]

Thanks Zane, trouble with this show was there were only one or two things on a large stage at once, so most shots are singular, not aways the best but it is what I had to wrk with.

As this evening's concert was two guys on stage with guitars...well that's all they did all night was stand in the same spots so I took some shots, took a few more then left!

[puddlepirate44]

Is this the version for cats? LINKY (http://ulc.net/forum/uploads/monthly_07_2007/post-3919-1184860842.jpg)

What version is that? I can't imagine doing the Sunday morning Scripture reading in that..... I'd probably be the one to do it, tho'. ;)

ABove hey does anyone else find that number 2 dangling from here distracting ? ..

I've found that I'm losing sleep over it. Not really, but I'm losing sleep over something, and this was convenient.

This is what happens when we get a butt load of rain really fast in St George. :lol:

For some reason, seeing dirty, brown water running through your streets with the label, "Butt Load of rain" really got me laughing in a Junior High/Beavis and Butthead kind of way.

If you look close on the left side, up closer to the firetruck, you can see a bunch of teen guys. They are skimboarding.

What fun!! You desert folk know how to party in a flood!

... unless I move to Oregon ..I:ll have to check and see if Dan and lisa would consider adopting me with new glasses in the mix ..lol

Awww, c'mon over, Deb. We've got some chores for you to do.... ;)

I'll catch up with the thread after dinner

Lovin' your shots, Pete. You should "work" at home more often.

Nice thing about the Hawaiian language is, they don't have many letters, so the words tend to be spelled phonetically using our alphabet...

When in doubt over a Polynesian language, throw in as many vowels as you can imagine. Then end it with a "-ua".

Allie is on her first paper.

Way to go, Mom!!

At the puppet show today this lady comes up to me and starts asking if I have that new $700.00 canon camera, I said no, but one similar to it, she asked for the model number so I said 30D. Then she goes "is that a telephonic lens?" I smiled as pleasant as could be and said "yep, sure is!" lol!

Wow. You let that one go pretty easy. A conversation starter like that would make my day. Oh yeah!

The 30D is growing on me.

There are ointments you can buy at the local Pharmacy for that.

dammit now I have 6 shot in d.c. including a 3 or 4 year old shot in the ankle:evil:

Yeah, I don't think I could listen to that scanner for too long. Depressing.....

Maxy update: I am going to the store for Skoal and Ice Cream BBL

Ooo, there's a Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream in the making!

G'MAE, All.

We had a very nice trip to the coast today. Very tired and sunburnt, but what a blast.

[short5]

I took some shots, took a few more then left! If the only reason you are there is to cover it it is great when you can get the shot and get out.

[Skrim17]

and where was your sunscreen young man?? huh??

[Skrim17]

They were fun to listen to for a while but it was really hot and muggy, wanted to get home and in the shower!

[puddlepirate44]

and where was your sunscreen young man?? huh??

:o:o:o

at home. :cry:

Actually, I didn't expect such a nice day out there. It's supposed to rain tonight, so I thought I'd be facing typical Tillamook County rain cloud overcast (Tillamook County is the rainiest county in Oregon with around 80-100 inches a year. Seriously. It's a rain forest along the coast. No joke.)

[Jamie Holladay]

You are too funny. I am not sure who to be more scared of, the TF or the sketch artist. ;)

I see, you are awfully red.

[Skrim17]

Just this year I've had a few 'things' that needed to be removed from my upper arm and back due to way too much sun exposure all my life and my pasty white skin. I won't even go in the pool without one of those spf50 rash guard shirts on anymore! I also wear my hat and sunglasses in the water!

[puddlepirate44]

You are too funny. I am not sure who to be more scared of, the TF or the sketch artist. ;)

Aww, don't be scared of li'l ol' me. Villiage Idiots are mostly harmless. :D

[Skrim17]

way too late for me, nighty night campers.

[puddlepirate44]

Aww... and I just got here, too.

'Nite, Crissa.

good night Crissa

[Maxed Out]

why is it so noisy? do the tubes add more noise?

[puddlepirate44]

As we were driving up US 101 today, we crossed over a bridge that spanned the Little Nestucca river. Farther on, we went over the Nestucca river. I looked on the map to see if, further North, there was a river named the Freakin' HUGE Nestucca river.

There wasn't.

No one knows how to make cool names like that. :evil:

its really tempting to buy something now or save for a lens

[Maxed Out]

would tubes count as a lens;)

[puddlepirate44]

Agreed. Unless you really need some other accessory, my first thought tends towards glass.

[Maxed Out]

Hmmm I want tubes:confused:

[puddlepirate44]

That, my friend, is the magical question. It's tough for one to steer others toward a lens without first knowing what kind of photography they like. What style of photography do you like? Landscape? Portrait? Wildlife? Macro?

[short5]

Hmmm I want tubes:confused:

Okay I am back. I went to B&H and ordered tubes:D

i like them all....not too much wildlife though...i'll list in importance

1. I usually take portraits for my family (sometimes I need tthe extra reach - sometimes I wish it was wider) (need a flash real bad though)

2. Macro.....but I dont have a tripod and its pretty hard to get a half decent shot without one (tubes for my nifty)

3. Landscape.....again need a tripod and wider lens (most of the time)

[Maxed Out]

either save for the 70-200 f/2.8 IS (long ways away until I get a job)

buy tubes, (ok) tripod, 430ex (or 580exII and tripod)

tammy 17-50

With this one, and the others that you mentioned, may I suggest the Tamron 28-75. (http://www.amazon.com/Tamron-Autofocus-28-75mm-Aspherical-Cameras/dp/B0000A1G05/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/105-9620157-0669256?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1185686070&sr=8-1) It being an f/2.8, it is very nice in low light situations, has the zoom range that would suit your current style and is a very nice lens for the $$. I have one, and so do others on this thread. I've yet to hear an unkind word about its performance. Just my 2¢ worth.

+1 :D I have this lens and I love it and use it a lot. My 2¢. :)

[puddlepirate44]

yeah ive research that one to death.....its a split decision between 17-50 and 28-75

I've got both. Love 'em both. In fact, used both today in my trip to the coast. The shots I just posted were with the 28-75. The 17-50 is pretty wide, but the 28-75, IMWO, makes a better all around lens.

[short5]

Dan nice shots

[misspix]

Fix Or Repair Daily:lol: Don't get me wrong I own a Chevy now but have owned many fords I was happy with.

Um, no. My daddy (Ford man) always said First On Race Day :)


Jamie, I like the second and third the bestest!
I nominate you namer of stuff
I second! (or third, whatever the case may be)
Okay I am back. I went to B&H and ordered tubes:D
Hooray!
Instant gratification. What a country.
I love it here :)

[Maxed Out]

you know what...if its a split decision that means they are pretty close and the 28-75 has the versatility and costs less than the 17-50.

im pretty much sold on the 28-75 now but with one question:

AF.....whats the difference between their speed, accuracy, and sound?

[misspix]

Nice shots Dan :D

[puddlepirate44]

+1 :D I have this lens and I love it and use it a lot. My 2¢. :)

Hi, Alyssa! Nice to see you over here! :D

[short5]

Um, no. My daddy (Ford man) always said First On Race Day :)

Hi, Alyssa! Nice to see you over here! :D

Yes it is nice to have others perch here:)

[misspix]

Hi Alyssa :D

[puddlepirate44]

Dan nice shots

Nice shots Dan :D

Thanks, Folks.

AF.....whats the difference between their speed, accuracy, and sound?

You're not going to use the 28-75 for sports.... the AF is accurate, but a bit slow. I've got some pretty fast focusing lenses, and this Tammy isn't among them. Is it painfully slow? Heck no. Does it lock? Yes, consistently. It's not an L. And it doesn't have Canon's USM. Having said that, it's still not loud. I've had Canon lenses that were MUCH louder than my Tammys. Specifically, my Old 100mm Macro and the "Buzzsaw" 35mm f/2. However, again, you're not going to use this lens for fast sports or for sensitive work where silence is the key. I've found that the shots from this lens to be way above satisfactory and do not hesitate in suggesting it to others. Again, it's my near worthless opinion that both the Tamron 17-50 and the 28-75 are two of the best lenses for the money for this range. Most Bang for the Buck, so to speak.

[asolie]

Hi, Alyssa! Nice to see you over here! :D

Yes it is nice to have others perch here:)

Hi Alyssa :D

Hi back! :D

Gotta turn the computer off now, got to deal with the laundry. Maybe I can use the computer tomorrow if I have time.

Really, you don't want to hear my sermons.

I can't believe they did an entire Bible in lolcat. That's too funny. Was it a whole version, or just a gag and they did just Gen 1?

I used to have a Bible that was written in Pidgin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pidgin). It took awhile, but then it was easy to read. Kind of a hoot, really.

[thomascanty]

I can't believe they did an entire Bible in lolcat. That's too funny. Was it a whole version, or just a gag and they did just Gen 1?

I'm guessing it was just that one page. But, I don't really know that. I found the link for that photo in a Usenet newsgroup this morning, but I don't know who created it.

That wasn't early. I went to bed late today... ;)

Hey Everybody, WOW! a new thread and everything. It's been a while, but I haven't had a chance to get on. I had to make a trip to Japan, that's where I am now. I haven't had chance to get to a computer with internet access. The work computers here have filters on them, and this is place considered Chat. So I can't sign on to it.

Japan is very nice, this is my first trip here. I'll get some pictures up when I get a chance. I finally got my laptop to sign on in the hotel with a lot of help from their tech guys. I'm still not sure what the problem was there, other than it is expensive to use their internet here.

I'll try to keep up a little better, but here is one to keep you in the loop. I hope it looks ok, 'cause I'm processing on my laptop. This is a Temple that one of the local guys took me to in an area called Nikko. It is the temple of the first Shogun of Japan. At least that's what he told me.

wow, looks awesome......everybody said since the new server is so much quicker to post that it would be near impossible to catch up, lol....

I really want to go to china and japan....man.....the sushi must be amazing:D

I'm not nearly caught up, but while I was doing the catching up, I found out it was a rule to post a flower before you could post to the new thread.

This is from a Japanese Garden I visited. So kindly disregard my dyslexia and put this before the last post. :lol:
