The 2nd official Random Discussion For TPBM Photo's and Photographers Thread (2)

[Mgdh]

G'mae all.

Just catching up on a busy day here - thankfully (for me) not too much to read

Thanks for the comment son the airshow shots - I'm still processing more.

[cylentka]

GMAE, all.

Jamie, I like your new avatar.

edit: thanks to whoever posted the book link. I will buy a copy this week. :)

second edit: what XHD did I hear people raving about lately? My photos have reached critical mass and I need an XHD for my work computer. thx in advance.

[Jamie Holladay]

how about neither ? is that a good answer.

I have always thought that those that show a picture of themseleves as an avatar are self important.

I could be wrong tho.
A response I did not expect, but respect.
You know your right, it could say a lot about me. But at the end of the day I am not too worried. I am who I am and I will voice my opion. if people don't like it or like my view then that's ok too.

I don't expect people to like every thing that I say, nor do I expect people to think that I am right. (after all I am male and all females will say that we are always wrong :lol: ) But it's a view and that's my view. I would expect people to respect the view as I would theirs.

but you know it's only a comment. I have dealt with Jamie once or twice and he seems ok. Never meet that man of course. Never been out of the country. would you rather I keep quite?
No problems with me. No offense taken. I asked for an opinion and you gave it. I have a rule, if you ask me I will tell you. Therefore I must abide by my own rule. And since you were not rude no harm no foul.
I think the first. The second is lost when it is small.



Could be. I like a face to put to a person I talk to. Simply posting ones image is not self important in my mind.
I think I will stick with the first one for a while. I agree the second one does get lost. I too like seeing who I am talking to. But if people do not want to use their photos as avatars that is cool as well. I just find it nice to put a face to a name.
:shock: who?

I like the first one too Jamie. :)

Well I could tell you but then I might have to kill you or well I might get drowned. & Thanks.
GMAE, all.

I think you missed the later half of the sentence which should have been a DEAD give away.

[Skrim17]

So when I make this book I want to make, I want people to have room to write in it what kind of paper do I use?

[cylentka]

What are the options, Crissa? And what will the people be writing with?

[Jamie Holladay]

I read it, but I didn't get it. :confused: Sorry...
My brain is overworked with being stressed out, worrying, and trying to keep it together. This is going to be a tough week... :(

[Skrim17]

My friends have a house that they let their friends stay in, it is gorgeous. Lakeside on a cliff with tiered decks in an upscale connecticut town, we go for a week every summer by ourselves and an occasional weekend day or overnight with them. they have mentioned wanting to have a guest book for their visitors to write down notes about their stay and I want to make one for them with photos of the house and area. I could leave a pen as well for folks to use, but I don't want the ink to smudge too much, was wondering about paper options.

Well I was going to suggest that you do a 160 page Blurb Book. You could shoot 75 pages of photos and one page to the left or right could be blank for writing. As long as people right with a decent BALL POINT pen the paper should not smudge. (can't use gel pens). If you decide you want to do that and need some help I will be glad to assist you. I have done one book and have this years started.

Cool,Lonnie! Now I'm trying to remember what I was doing in March of 2003. Probably still changing diapers. :rolleyes:

[Skrim17]

Thanks Jamie!! I was going to use blurb, will be taking the pictures during our visit the last week of August so after labor day I'll be hitting you up for info!!

That is SO neat Wanda!! I love how their bodies are like shiny metal.

[Skrim17]

how close do you have to get with the 70-200 when the tubes are on?

[cylentka]

Thanks Crissa, they really shine when gliding over the pond. I had almost given up on getting a shot of the blue ones.

[Belmondo]

Woohoo! I finally found my very first post here on POTN! LINKY (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/archive/index.php/t-8609.html)How'd you do that, Lonnie?

[cylentka]

how close do you have to get with the 70-200 when the tubes are on?

Well, I don't think I know what I'm doing. Because when I try to use the 100-200 range its all blurry and I can't get a focus. Maybe I am too close when I try to do that. I checked exif and this was at 125mm, and I was probably a foot away.

[thomascanty]

How'd you do that, Lonnie?

Jon told me about the archives link at the bottom of the page. I had a pretty good idea of the time frame (there is no search available in the archives), so I just started poking around in there. I knew it had something to do with the 10D, so I concentrated mostly on the threads with "10D" in the title.

[Skrim17]

I'll have to try the tubes on mine. Is the 125mm accurate if you had tubes on?

I new about the archives, but don't think I have the patience to try to do quite that much digging.

[timbernet]

What I found with my 70-200 + tubes was that you focus with the zoom... So you might be 1.2 feet away from your subject, you just zoom back and forth and it will come into focus but the size will stay darn close to the same.

[cylentka]

I'll have to try the tubes on mine. Is the 125mm accurate if you had tubes on?

I have no idea, lol. Just giving you an idea of how I was shooting. I would start at the 70mm end and zoom until I got a focus.

Lonnie was a archeologist in a previous life. One of these days he'll photograph his own previous-life gravesite.

It was kind of fun seeing all those old topics again. I'd forgotten how so many newbies kept calling the 10D a D10, and how that made the regulars' blood just boil... And, the focus tests! :lol:

Now, there's a good project for me...

Here is your first (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/archive/index.php/t-13965.html) one in the "Canon EOS digital cameras" section, one day after you joined POTN. That's the only section I looked in. I don't know if you posted somewhere else first (like Share?), so this may not be your very first...

I seemed to recall it having something to do with the 75-300 or 28-135 lenses (my first glass), but that could easily be wrong.

Either way, I was certainly new to the forum. Actually, that wasn't a bad question for someone who had no idea what he was talking about.:lol:

You all know how I feel about shooting weddings. Gak.

My dearest friend in the world asked me to shoot her daughters wedding.
She has no money. She told me how much Shelly (her daughter and basically Shelly is more niece to me than just a friends daughter) was hoping I would do it. *sigh* What could I do? I am well and truly stuck. Looks like I'm shooting a wedding. Emotional blackmail wins out every time.

If you don't want to do it just tell her no. and yes I know that is easy for me to say sitting in Alabama on the other side of my moniter. If you guys remember I mentioned that our Graphics Designer wanted me to do her outdoor wedding. I told her no. (I just hope it stuck) But if you do it just make sure that she understands that this is not your cup of tea and that you do not want her to be mad at you if you do not produce what she expects (not saying that you can't). I just don't want you do loose a friend over it.

She completely understands my aversion to weddings. :rolleyes: She would not have asked if she could afford to hire a photographer.
I did make it very clear that she was NOT to refer me out!!! :lol:

[Skrim17]

Good for you for helping out Terri, I am sure you will get great shots! My thing on the firends who can't afford a photog is you will get them great shots that they otherwise will not have and you get some practical experience. They won't see the flaws or mistakes you will, so don't sweat it.

I have shot a few weddings, I know it will be okay, I just hate the stress that I pack along when shooting one. I would much rather be a second shooter.

Emotional blackmail wins out every time. Yup it does:rolleyes:. As you said you will do fine just try to have fun. I always liked the idea of putting one of those disposable cameras on each table for people to use. At the end collect them up and get the pictures developed for the couple there are guaranteed to be some funny ones.

I know that Wanda has the fish. That is just scary:shock:

I need mobile phone help.

My other phone (the one I use in Thailand) connects to the computer with a wire and has a memory card inside that I can put stuff on.

The phone I have here seems to connect via bluetooth - but HOW? I have a photo on the phone that I would like to move to my computer, but NO CLUE how to make that happen...

You have two options here.

1) If you have a laptop that's bluetooth enabled, you can send it with bluetooth.

2) Get a data cable for your new phone and do it the way that you know.

3) Bluetooth the picture to another phone who's owner has a data cable.

4) Take it to a print shot and ask them to download it for you and put it on a usb flash disk.

5) an option I've not thought about yet.

Ok, there's more than 2 options....

[Athena]

Pete - your options made me smile. :)

There doesn't seem to be a cable option with this phone. It's not very fancy. Bluetooth is the only way to go, so I am downloading something called PC Suite. I guess I need that software to talk to the phone?? I tried to "find" the computer (bluetooth enabled) with the phone without the software and it failed (miserably).

On a very different note, as I am typing this I can hear Nathan singing/composing a song in the dinning area. I SO wish I could be recording it! He cracks me up. :D

[Athena]

I think I was wrong - there is a cable option, but it has a very different connector to the one my other phone uses :shock: Maybe it's FANCIER rather than "not very fancy". I am not feeling rather OLD. :lol:

No idea Athena but I bet you can get the manual for the model online which hopefully lays out the options for downloading it.

Oddly, after I downloaded the PC Suite stuff, it won't detect my phone anymore. :roll: I think I need the cable. It probably costs $25... :roll:

Just saw some LAVA images on the news and thought of you btw. :)

Kewl kitten Maxy I really like the last one. There was no exif attached so I don't know but it looks like you have too slow a shutter causing them to be a bit soft.

You can also see if you can find a bluetooth adaptor for you current pc. My 2nd cellphone had blue tooth and the cable was something else to buy. it was cheaper to buy a generic bluetooth adaptor than buy the one from the manufacture.

I have got a motorola razer at the moment and it takes a stand usb cable to connect it to the pc, which is good cause it's the same type of cable one can use to connect the camera to the PC.

Thanks Mark. I am about to give up on it because I don't want to buy the cable. My laptop can do bluetooth and the phone can too, but for some reason they can't see each other. :confused: I have a different (less frustrating) Nokia at home but it's getting old. How do you like your razor? That is what I've been planning on getting when I go back. :)

Aww. Cute lookin' bear, Pete. Certainly looks like a close relation of Jim ;)

Yep, that's the one that she managed to get with bearly 13 seconds to go!!

Groan - you can't complain about a bad jokes after that pun, Pete!!!!!

[short5]

razor? That is what I've been planning on getting when I go back. :)

Leyla has one. The battery life really sucks and the volume doesn't go very high. The rest of the features are okayish.

[Athena]

there are several models - do you know which one she has?

[short5]

K1m is what it says under the cover. She said it is a "krazor". I have a LG vx8300 I just got which I am happy with. It was free with renewal of service. I am hard on phones and they are designed to break so you sign up for more service to get the phone discount. I get the relatively cheap ones because even the expensive ones are obsolete by the time they are released. Don't start me on my cell phone service is a shell game and my planned obsolescences rant.

[Mark0159]

Thanks Mark. I am about to give up on it because I don't want to buy the cable. My laptop can do bluetooth and the phone can too, but for some reason they can't see each other. :confused: I have a different (less frustrating) Nokia at home but it's getting old. How do you like your razor? That is what I've been planning on getting when I go back. :)

I love it. the only problem I have is dust inside the screen, but I know of 2 other people that have it and they don't have a problem. I like the fact that it's light, a nice square shape too. it doesn't have any thing like ariels or anything coming out of it, which I like. it's also a sold phone, it doesn't fee like plastic.

when I got the phone, i got the software and the cable to connect it to the PC. which is great case I don't have to go out and buy anything else.

[Maxed Out]

Kewl kitten Maxy I really like the last one. There was no exif attached so I don't know but it looks like you have too slow a shutter causing them to be a bit soft.

all those shots were wide open [f/1.8] and the fastest shutter I could get away with was 1/80th at ISO 1600....plus it was handheld = soft

I had to brighten all of them in PS

that's right about the battery life. when using it as a phone it doesn't last that long, but then I got the orignal ones. not to sure what the rest are like.

once you have got the cable etc I just plug it in to the PC and that charges the phone too.

a friend that got the phone has got a car charger.

I would like to upgrade the phone to a slider one or something.

Gotcha, low light. I loved the pose on the last one.

Ok, we've been talking of first posts, here's mine...

[Jamie Holladay]

Pete - your options made me smile. :)

There doesn't seem to be a cable option with this phone. It's not very fancy. Bluetooth is the only way to go, so I am downloading something called PC Suite. I guess I need that software to talk to the phone?? I tried to "find" the computer (bluetooth enabled) with the phone without the software and it failed (miserably).

On a very different note, as I am typing this I can hear Nathan singing/composing a song in the dinning area. I SO wish I could be recording it! He cracks me up. :D
Share the lrycs?

http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=961_1186436423OMGosh :shock: I like cats, but that is psycho.

Share the lrycs?I wish I could remember them. He was making the song up as he went. He's a funny little guy - does that stuff all the time. You should hear his texas accent (and the others too - they're all good). :D

[Jamie Holladay]

I remember as a child I would sit out in the garage (which was huge) and BANG on the piano and do the same thing.

[wu_wei0]

ok here are some shots:

awwwwwww what a sweet kitteh!! I love these two the best. I wish my kittehs were cute They are attractive, but they mainly just eat and sleep these days.

I thought it was just mine! good to know.
I have the v3xx- love it except the battery sucking. I got it so I could lose one of my mp3 players but now I won't put music on because of the battery issue.
I did get a USB charger thingy- uses AA batteries so if I am on the road and need it I have it. Among the things that does not function on my truck is th lighter. :)

[wu_wei0]

someone stop me!

Never mind- I'm a big girl I can stop myself.

later, all

Another quiz for y'all: HERE (http://www.angelfire.com/ak2/intelligencerreport/yankee_dixie_quiz.html)
I found out that I'm 61% Dixie. No wonder I talk like Jamie.:rolleyes:;):)

Maybe he could babysit my cats. I put them in prison today. They aren't taking to it very well, at the moment. I don't think I'm going to get any sleep today. Good thing I have the rest of the week off! I can out-stubborn them...



A Fish Called Wanda? Wasn't that a movie?

Good luck with the cats. Yes, it was a movie. :cool:

Pete, I like the little Jim statue. And Maxy, I really liked that last kitty shot. Dark cats are hard to shoot, you need to bleach it white for any decent photos.

[Athena]

I HATE phones that won't hold a charge. I guess that is one good thing about this little Nokia (6102i). It only has to be charged every few days.

So... who here can get multimedia messages and can download pictures from their phone to computer (and forward a copy to me)?? :D :D
(looking for a volunteer to help me get this darn image)

Shocker: 57% (Dixie). Barely into the Dixie category

likely caused by the month I've just spend in NC. ;) I morph into wherever I am. Although interestingly I met a girl at Lowes today that I haven't seen in ages and she said I have a heavy accent (she said it with a very pretty southern drawl). I guess she forgot I am not from here. lol :)

Woulda thought I would be down around 10-20%. :)

Not sure if I'm surprised it's that low or not...

Kit! How was Kamp?

[Athena]

Crissa - did you get the prices you wanted from AsukaBook?

[short5]

KIT:shock:

[Athena]

Welcome home Cat. :D

[short5]

Anyone been to the Aegean? Crissa boogered up TPBM:p

[Athena]

nope - site untravelled by Athena. :)

[short5]

Really? I went to Turkey pre-digital and never saw the Aegean.

[cfpackerfan]

I am showered, I am fed, I am having a beer, and I am off to catch up.

But I'll keep a 'real time' tab open alongside my 'in the past' tab. ;)

It is SO good to be home, but we had SO much fun. So.... I see you couldn't manage to misplace the panty liner while I was gone. Bummer. :p

We thought he was with you:shock:

[short5]

I just stepped out of my ice cold dry basement to try and shoot the path lights I installed. Well instantly fogged camera. I left it out there to warm up.

[cfpackerfan]

We thought he was with you:shock: NOT EVEN. :p

[Athena]

Nope. I've been in the Mediterranean, but not the Aegean.

[cfpackerfan]

I've caught up in TPBM (wasn't too hard, seems to be stuck. :p)
Had to comment on this one..... G O R G E O U S

I don't know if it is any better but it is a nice view somewhere in Alaska
http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j23/shortwave5/Pan.jpg
TPBM is also remote

[short5]

Thanks Kit:oops:

[short5]

I shouldn't say thanks I didn't make it I just pointed a camera at it. It is hard to get a bad shot of that.

[Athena]

yeah, but you captured a great sky. THAT is not always easy.

Signed,
the hater of blown-out, cloudless skies. ;)
