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

[Permagrin]

G'mae everyone :)

Very nice, Permie. We haven't been to a full re-enactment of the Civil War, there is a camp at the Pioneer Festival. In September we will be going to a WWI re-enactment. Went two years ago and looking forward to going again.

Oh and...

Happy, Happy, Birthday.!!!



Thanks and Thanks again Becky :)

:sigh:

Today Christopher goes to the babysitter all day...

Please tell me all will be well, and we're not doing any undue harm to him.

You're not doing any undue harm to him Mike. You're doing what you need to do to provide a good existance for him. Either way is hard (we did what Jim and Lisa did and I stayed home with the kids but eeking out a decent living is almost impossible for an every day Joe, doing that) and there are benefits and minuses to both decisions. Just choose what you feel is best and move forward with it...and you all will be fine. ;)

He posts tons of his photos. They're all birds and tree sharks.

You're right but my only quibble with this post is that they are really only "ducks and tree sharks" with an occasional tern thrown in for good measure....real birds are noticably absent. He's really a lens "collector" who takes a lot of duck/squirrel shots :lol:

I like the new Avatar, Athena... Always good to see a smiling face...!

ME TOO!

[BearLeeAlive]

Ummm... Girly things that she's won on eBay.
Pete, I'm thinkin' Ali would get along great with Lisa. She buys lots of little stuff off eBay, things just like Ali did. At least she does not spend big bucks on this kinda stuff, not like I do with my (our) toys. :)

She also goes thrift store shopping at least once a week and has my daughter Caitlin hooked on it too. Again, a great deal for me, she gets lots of shopping in without spending a ton of money.

Athena, I too like your new avatar. I am one who likes it when folks change up their avatar on a regular basis.

[Maxed Out]

We'll be checking your homework when you've done it, Maxy....

i meet up with a photographer (Jeff Philips) every week but hes out of town for about 2 months and he wants me to take 2 or 3 pics, one in the day time and one during the "golden hour"........stuff I already know

Im turning in late homework:shock:

[thomascanty]

I just got back from checking the first apartment on the list I had to look at. I love it! I want it! It's soooo much nicer than where I am now. I'm filling out the application now. Once they run the credit check and I'm approved (and there's no reason I shouldn't be), they said I should have the key in 24 to 48 hours and can start moving in. I hope I can finish the move in two weeks so I don't have to pay for another month, or part of a month, for this dump. I'm so out of here!!!

Of course, it means I'll be driving 50 miles each way to work every day instead of six, but that just gives me a little incentive to finish my Network+ certification so I can find a job closer to the new digs to get me by until I become fabulously wealthy as a self-employed freelance photographer. :lol:

Wow!! Nice one Lonnie!

Good thing I've not yet sent your goodie pack off yet. Let me know your new address ASAP.

[thomascanty]

Good thing I've not yet sent your goodie pack off yet. Let me know your new address ASAP.

I was wondering why that hadn't arrived yet... lol

It's the same address, though. The address I gave you is my mailing address, not my home address. I haven't used the address here where I live in about 5 years. I rent a mailbox in a storefront in Burbank.

great news! Do you have a floor plan to show us? is it online somewhere?

[short5]

High:cool: Viva la vida oxycontin. Thanks for all the inquires and kind words. It makes a guy, who is a bit fragile right now, feel good.

I just posted a few shots from the reenactment Permi these shots are not good they are fantastic!!!!! I really like them. You captured the action and feel wonderfully. I want to go to some reenactments here. I have not been but what is cool is here they do the reenactments on the actual preserved battle fields. They may, for example, reenact a particular charge. They place troops and equipment just as it was historical documented.

How many of us are interested in shipping our books around for signatures? I am but need to think about logistics. let us know how you plan to do it.

I can't begin to tell you how many times that I ran and climbed up the steps of Dad's combine. That is really neat Jamie:).


That's always such a conversation stopper. :( Always:confused:? How often do you use that line:shock:?

the bloody pigeons gulp them down...Pellet gun
I didn't recognize you, Athena! What's the new avatar look like full-sized?

Tease :p:lol:

Ummm... Girly things that she's won on eBay.

Sounds like she is collecting for a yard sale:p

I'm so out of here!!!

Wow quick action Lonnie, good luck

[theague]

Greetings all!!

I got my POTN book today. I must say I am pleased and not surprised how many of us from TPBM were voted into the book. Everyone here really does take great photos!! The book is awesome and I cannot wait to participate in volume 2!

A side point. I showed it to a co-worker and he made a cool suggestion that I think I might try with Scotland... He suggested making a travel book of my vacation. Maybe give a little narrative on some of the photos. I might give it as a gift to my friends in Scotland and some family members.

[Pete]

That sounds like a terrific idea. How much would it cost to produce?

[theague]

I have no idea, i haven't looked into it. My best guess is less than the cost of the POTN book. lol I would never have enough photos/words to make a book that large of a 3-week trip. It'd probably only end up being 12 pages or something silly :p

ZANE!! *doing happy dance* glad to hear from you!! (tell Layla thanks AGAIN for letting us know how you were!)


and thanks for the compliments on those photos :) You should attend a reenactment. I'd love to go on the original fields!

Hi Permi:)

Glad you're not squished, mate...

[Pete]

Just hope you're not too tender.

I've been lucky in all my many many years.... Hopefully I've got a few more miles in me yet before I have to go in for any kind of work like that.

[Mgdh]

Yes, it's me the other day. But don't try to get used to it. I am known to change avatars often. ;)


Here's another vote for the new Avi, Athena :D

Ummm... Girly things that she's won on eBay.

I think there's a cake plate, a fake antique map, a ring-holder (God knows why she wants one of those), and some kind of serving dish.

Maybe she want's something to put on it, Pete... ;):lol:

Sounds good, Lonnie. Pete's set the standard, you know you have to post shots when you move in don't you ;)

Zane - Good to see you're back online and getting better.

Leyla - Thanks for the update and welcome to the thread :D

[cfpackerfan]

Cat, what about a sheet of paper that could be round-robined? OR! We could (not me, I don't have a photo in the book this time. I meant the collective or royal We) all scan in our sigs and email them.
oooo...that's an idea. And much more feasible. I"ll be giving it some thought. ;)

I think it's just because two of their major posters were on vacation. It's like when Cat goes on vacation. ;) PPPPpfffffftttt!! :p

I just got back from checking the first apartment on the list I had to look at. I love it! I want it! WOO HOO!! Keep us posted on progress....sounds awesome!

I have generous doctors but in particular I had my gall bladder removed yesterday.

Lonnie: Sounds like a great move, I am excited for you!

Thanks Miss Terri:)

Welcome home Zane. Feel better FAST. :) :D

Ouch, thanks:)

And that's supposed to hurt? :rolleyes: :lol:

Seriously though, hope the recovery goes well and that you're back at it soon!

Hi Athena, Thank you. It is nice to see your tiny little picture again.

[short5]

Thank you Kody.

[Athena]

Hi Athena, Thank you. It is nice to see your tiny little picture again.

Thanks Zane. :) It's nice to be a girl again. Being a flower was nice, but I prefer being a girl. ;)

[short5]

You do both well

[Athena]

no - that's Wu. ;)

[cfpackerfan]

Zane is pretty quiet and subdued.... I think it must have been his gall bladder that contained his SA tendencies. :p He doesn't have any more gall. :shock:

Good price on a 100mm macro

[misspix]

whats wrong Terri?

:shock:
:( I still don't have my rig. It was promised to me by yesterday afternoon. Then first thing this morning. Now it is sometime today.
They really, really want to get my car to me today. They don't want to make me wait another day. Won't be a good idea. At all.

[Athena]

No place to store it:confused::lol:You'll just have to make it on the fly now. ;)

[Athena]

I thought you were after the Tammy Terry? Although the 100 is a great lens. All I want is a tripod so I can use mine the way I want to.... :(

I am after the Tammy :) Will be on its way to me tomorrow! And as much as I would love the 100mm Macro, I already have the 60 (great lens!).
The next item on my agenda will be the 70-200 IS.

[Athena]

Terri - I have both the 60 and the 100 and I have to tell ya, if the 60 was an EF lens and I had to get rid of one of them, it would be the 100. The EFS 60 is an awesome lens.

[misspix]

You may not have your car today, but you have something else that is on it's way to you. ;)

Good to know! I have to say, I haven't used the fifty much at all since the 60 arrived. Although, as a portrait lens, the 60 is a tad too sharp:rolleyes:

Hi Zane. ;) Nice to see you around, fella

Hi Wu:D, nice to be around.

Earlier today Nathan showed me a sketch of his plan for a tunnel (covered skywalk) to Mars. He saw a show that said they'd found evidence there could have been water there and he is now determined to colonize Mars. He says we can take what we need in through the tunnel. Matthew suggested building a biosphere around the entire planet and bringing trees so that we wouldn't have to keep pumping new O2 out there.

These are the next generation people. Be afraid.... :shock:

[misspix]

:shock:
But I don't want to live on Mars :shock: Red doesn't suit me.

But, what a cool idea :)

[short5]

These are the next generation people. Be afraid.... :shock:Sounds like they may be on the right track. I have been inside biosphere 2 out in Arizona.

Terri - Nathan says you can stay here to help run Earth. ;)

[thomascanty]

Welcome back among the living, Zane!

great news! Do you have a floor plan to show us? is it online somewhere?

Here's the floorplan:
http://info.rentnet.com/property/52/25852/floorplan/25852.f01.gif

Sounds good, Lonnie. Pete's set the standard, you know you have to post shots when you move in don't you ;)

WOO HOO!! Keep us posted on progress....sounds awesome!

I'll be sure to take plenty of pictures. The only reason I don't have many pictures of my cats is because I'm ashamed to show how rundown and dilapidated the place I'm in now looks. I never even invite visitors over because of that. It's gotten that bad. This place really has turned into a slum, and there are a lot of gang members in this neighborhood. I only stayed here so long because it's rent controlled and would cost me double what I'm paying now just to move next door!

But, rents are much cheaper in the high desert of Palmdale. For only $80/month more, I get 200 more square feet, a balcony, my very own water heater and electronic central air/heating system!!! (no more taking a cold shower in the morning because the neighbors have used up all the hot water -- and currently I only have a small, very inefficient window mounted air conditioner and no heater), tons more closet space, a much much much nicer neighborhood, and I'll now only be about 10 miles away from my brother's house. My cell phone also gets excellent coverage there, so I'm going to use that as my main phone and not get a landline. For Internet access, I'll speed myself up from this slow DSL and get Cable access. Woohoo! It just keeps getting better and better... :D

The climate will take some adjusting. The summer temps there are usually about 10 degrees hotter than they are here. The winters are a lot colder, too. You know I barely know what rain is now, since this area only averages 12.1 inches per year. Well, Palmdale only gets 7.36 inches per year. But... This is what will really take some adjusting. Palmdale also averages 4.4 inches of snow per year. I haven't lived in a place that gets snow since 1978... lol

Well, the application has been submitted. I should hear back from them by 2pm tomorrow. As long as nothing goes wrong, I should have the keys and start moving in tomorrow evening. I gotta start packing now!

Oh... And the San Gabriel Mountains where Ashley and I like to hike a lot is a good 40 to 50 mile drive from where I am now. From my new place, it's about 10 miles. :mrgreen:

Oh, and the new place has a dishwasher... ;)

[short5]

I ran across this the other day but could not get a shot of the building because of construction. I never watched the show but do remember it being on.

I have TWO dishwashers. Their names are Cory and Frankie :twisted:

Thanks Lonnie.That place looks great and if you decide it is not for you you can always move again. That is really fun to have a big change of life so quick.

I don't know about that. I hate moving so much... That, and the rent control thing are the only two reasons I've been right here in this dump since 1989...

[theague]

woo hoo, walk in closet!! lol

Dishwasher and my own washer and dryer were the two biggest things the wife and I wanted when we moved to our place. I HATED having to share a W/D with other tenants!

[short5]

I said I wanted a garage and good elevation for good RF reception. I am down in a cavern with no garage:rolleyes:

[thomascanty]

woo hoo, walk in closet!! lol

And it's a huge walk-in closet, too! I'll be able to keep all of my clothes, camera gear and hiking gear in there, with room to spare.

I don't get my own washer/dryer, though. But it's a pretty big complex, and there are several laundry rooms. Better than here where the 52 units have to share four of each, and half of the machines are usually out of order...

[wu_wei0]

Thanks Lonnie.That place looks great and if you decide it is not for you you can always move again. That is really fun to have a big change of life so quick.

Yep!- but mine's feeling a little scary for me right now.

Lonnie- Looks like a great place! Here's mine. I had to rent a storage unit so really could have done a two bedroom cost-wise.
http://colonialprop.com/displaypic.php?ID=2693&type=floor

[short5]

Are you on the ground with a patio or elevated? What do you see from the patio/deck?

[short5]

Nice Wu, hope the scaries go away soon.

[wu_wei0]

Nice Wu, hope the scaries go away soon.scaries will go when income returns. :) very simple.

Still, I think this is the best thing I have ever done for myself.:D

[thomascanty]

Lonnie- Looks like a great place! Here's mine. I had to rent a storage unit so really could have done a two bedroom cost-wise.

You probably should have rented a two-bedroom, then. At least you'd have all your stuff with you.

That ceiling fan symbol on your floorplan reminds me, the description for mine said it had one, but I don't remember seeing it. I'll have to check that again tomorrow, or ask about that.

Are you on the ground with a patio or elevated? What do you see from the patio/deck?

I haven't actually seen mine yet. I saw the "show" apartment. Mine will be in a different building than where I was today. So, I don't know what the view will be like. It will be a second floor unit with a balcony, though. That much I know, because that's what I asked for. I said I wanted the second floor and as far away from the pool as possible. For the past 16 years I've been in an apartment directly in front of the building's pool. All day long during the summer months I have kids screaming at the top of their lungs, right outside my window. It's time for that to end...

[thomascanty]

Gotta run to the store and get a few things. I'll be back in a few...

[thomascanty]

And.... THREE!

[wu_wei0]

Gotta run to the store and get a few things. I'll be back in a few...My grocer carries Frosty Paws!

Good to see you Kody. Doing a Blurb book is rather simple. I am working on mine now. I have about 50 pages left for hte 160 page book. The 160 book will $39.95 just like the POTN book. All you need to do is download blurbs software and have fun. I have some suggestions if you get started LMK.

Good to see you too Jamie. Thanks for the heads up. I'm going to see what the wiff things of the idea before I get started. If she likes the idea I'll DL the software and get going on it! :)

I'll IM you when I'm ready for the suggestions. :)

Hi again all, you sure are a chatty bunch! I think that's why I love yous.;)

I just got back from checking the first apartment on the list I had to look at. I love it! I want it! It's soooo much nicer than where I am now. I'm filling out the application now. Once they run the credit check and I'm approved (and there's no reason I shouldn't be), they said I should have the key in 24 to 48 hours and can start moving in. I hope I can finish the move in two weeks so I don't have to pay for another month, or part of a month, for this dump. I'm so out of here!!!

WOO HOO Lonnie! I am so happy for you. The floor plan looks so nice and it will such a great upgrade for you! We want details about everything as you move, lol. This is so exciting! I think you'll love the snow since it won't stick around long. It is so fun to watch it snow.

Of course, it means I'll be driving 50 miles each way to work every day instead of six, but that just gives me a little incentive to finish my Network+ certification so I can find a job closer to the new digs to get me by until I become fabulously wealthy as a self-employed freelance photographer. :lol:

Mr. Absorbant that is pretty dang weak.

[cylentka]

That looks a bit artsy, Jamie. Not bad. And no, I never mind when someone edits my photos. Its how I learn stuff.

[Jamie Holladay]

Glad you like it. It was not exactly what I had in mind, but it came out ok.

[cylentka]

I think I know what you mean about the sephia, I'll try it tomorrow if I get time. I can kinda see in my mind how it would look. I thought PS had an auto seph button but I didnt' see it.

[short5]

A bit bright on my craptastic screen.

[Jamie Holladay]

A bit bright on my craptastic screen.
Yeah maybe so. The paper did not do what I wanted it to so, it probably is a little bright.

G'MAE everybody!

Welcome home Zane!

Welcome to POTN Leyla!!!!

Happy (really belated :oops:) Birthday Lisa!!

I'm way too far behind to do a multi-quote that would make any sense at all. :rolleyes:

REALLY pooped tonight... had to replace a 15 hp motor in a rooftop unit today... 'bout 200 pounds... 'bout 100 degrees up there... lots of awkward angles and sharp metal pointy things everywhere... On the up side, I think I'll sleep really well tonight. :D

Wanda, back in Compuserve's heyday, they had a forum for lawyers called Lawsig. Were you ever a member there?

[cylentka]

Heya Beth! No Beth, I never did much on Compuserv. I started on AOL, lol. But I was in the martial arts boards not the lawyer boards.

[cylentka]

This is my attempt at sepia, lol. It looks more like Lonnie's cats have been too close.

Ah. Just wondering. My Dad was a member (not a lawyer... long uninteresting story) and they ended up having get togethers (we called em fests) every other year or so and a reunion fest is in the works.

[cylentka]

ROFL at TRs. man, its great to have the TRs back!

yes i know.......can you do any better?

[Jamie Holladay]

Funny TR. I did not know the shuttle had a Sparco Steering wheel like Silvee though. Nice! Wu can I have a marshmellow?

[cylentka]

I guess it doesn't matter. The gap shot sucks, lol. She'll take better gap shots when her top teeth fall out, I guess.

[cylentka]

I'm loving the McD meal, lol

[cylentka]

Is that a moon map?

G'MAE everybody!

Welcome home Zane!

Welcome to POTN Leyla!!!!

Thanks and I will tell her. She is not quite keeping up yet but we will see if it takes or not. She is enthusiastic about shooting.

[short5]

Thanks for the TR's:D Nice to have the nightly laugh back.

[Guineh]

Since we're sharing apartment floorplans, Here's the one I'm living in, now... :mrgreen:

[Skrim17]

That's a great set up for a baby/little kid Mike, ample bathrooms and play area!

[Athena]

Hey Crissa, I made Allie pull her tooth last night. It was so loose that when she did pull it, she didn't even know it was out and was going to try again, lol. :rolleyes:Matthew's tooth came out today! It's under his pillow now. ;) So...what does the Tooth Fairy pay here in the states??

Since we're sharing apartment floorplans, Here's the one I'm living in, now... :mrgreen:I wish I had a floorplan for this place - I'd share too. :D

[Skrim17]

Ours pays 5 bux, but I here she's quite generous.

[Skrim17]

Our house is one rectangle!

[thomascanty]

My grocer carries Frosty Paws!

Woohoo! Wait... You don't have a dog.

But, that reminds me. I'm going to have to find a store in Palmdale that carries them. Or, I suppose I could buy them in Burbank after I leave work, just before I head home. I'd have to plan ahead and bring a cooler with me so they don't melt on the drive home...

WOO HOO Lonnie! I am so happy for you. The floor plan looks so nice and it will such a great upgrade for you! We want details about everything as you move, lol. This is so exciting! I think you'll love the snow since it won't stick around long. It is so fun to watch it snow.

I do love the snow, especially when it's light enough so that it isn't a nuisance. Ashley loves it, too. Every time we go to Tahoe in the winter, or hiking in the upper elevations where there's snow, as soon as she sees it, she suddenly becomes a little puppy again, all happy and wiggly. :lol:

I didn't have any luck finding a black light. I got new litter boxes, kitty litter and new bowls for everyone. I thought they would have some kind of battery operated, portable neon blacklight thingees by the litter and Nature's Miracle stuff, but no luck. I still have a couple weeks to track something like that before I need it, though. The kitties need to spend a little time in pergatory retraining, before they're allowed near carpet again...

I also saw bird feeders, and it made me realize I'll have a place to put one now that I have a balcony. More photo ops! Woohoo! I wonder if there are hummingbirds in the high desert. Maybe I should get a hummingbird feeder, too.

[wu_wei0]

Funny TR. I did not know the shuttle had a Sparco Steering wheel like Silvee though. Nice! Wu can I have a marshmellow?

Yup! Did you bring chocolate? Does anyone have graham crackers? I think s'mores would be super right now!

[wu_wei0]

Since we're sharing apartment floorplans, Here's the one I'm living in, now... :mrgreen:
Wow! That looks like a castle compared to mine. I really like my treehouse, though.

[Athena]

I am supposed to weigh tomorrow morning. You HAD to say chocolate?? :shock:

NOpe- but I think of you and Ashley every time I go to market!

Just go to the mall and hit Spenser's they are sure to have something.

sorry Athena. :(

I love throwing the door open for Jinx on a snowy morning. She jumps out and bounds around laughing.

[thomascanty]

You think Spenser's would have Frosty Paws? I would have never thought to look there... Tomorrow evening, I'm going to have to explore the new neighborhood and see what kind of stores there are around there. Palmdale is a pretty big city, but where I'll be is way out on the outskirts of the city, far from the major shops and malls.

Dogs are so much fun... :D

[puddlepirate44]

Geev da peepol da air

OK, that really made me laugh hard!

Earlier today Nathan showed me a sketch of his plan for a tunnel (covered skywalk) to Mars. He saw a show that said they'd found evidence there could have been water there and he is now determined to colonize Mars. He says we can take what we need in through the tunnel. Matthew suggested building a biosphere around the entire planet and bringing trees so that we wouldn't have to keep pumping new O2 out there.

These are the next generation people. Be afraid.... :shock:

Oooo, cool thinking. Nanotechnology could make that tunnel happen. Nathan is so avante guarde.

Is that a moon map?

Yup. ;)

Funny TR. I did not know the shuttle had a Sparco Steering wheel like Silvee though.

Only the very best.

Athena: Nice to have your avi back.

Lonnie: Congrats on the new digs.

Zane: Good to have you back. Take it easy, m'man.

Terri: Sorry to hear about the Dragon Wagon. That's very frustrating.

G'MAE, All.

nah- but they'll have black lights! Our Kroegers have Frosty Paws.

[short5]

Evening Dan, great TRs thanks!

[thomascanty]

Oh! The black light. Yeah, I'm sure they'll have that! Good idea... I'll probably visit one of the many malls local to me here before I leave the valley behind.

[Athena]

Here is the quick sketch Nathan did of his Tunnel to Mars. He was trying to explain the whole plan to me and I said I needed to see it, so this is what I got. Apparently the biosphere that Matthew suggested was already a part of the original plan. :)

Earlier this evening I was on skype with Mike and glanced down the hallway to see this. Fortunately the little G7 was on my desk next to the computer. :D

Any other kind of rats you can think of?

There are RatDogs, open to interpretation.;)

No, but we're hopeful, our surroundings are perfect for them.

Hedgehogs are one of those critters that I know live in the wild, just can't imagine it though. KWIM?

the webcam Mike made me install before he left. He said that if he has to be away for that long, he wants to be able to video chat with us.

Awwww, twu wuv.:D

Sylvan is really great - an unbelievable tool. I am SO happy we found them.

I went through a similar program, believe it or not, AFTER graduating from High School. It was to help my comprehension. It did help, I no longer have to read a page 3-5 times before I can tell you what it said. Still, I'm not a big reader, sadly, unless it is something I am really interested in. Lack of comprehension probably explains why I'm so bad at remembering names.

CJ on the other hand was one that could be reading something while the teacher was talking to the class about something totally different and could recite back both what he read and what the teacher said.:rolleyes: Problem was he knew it, he knew the teachers knew he knew it, so why bother putting all the stuff down on paper? I often when over my alotted time at parent teacher conferences.:(


They are very lucky to have the privilege of being global, IMO.

I think we all are. Breaks down a lot of walls and preconceptions.

I love it! I want it!

YAY!!! Lonnie, is Palmdale east of LA toward Palm Springs? I don't recognize the name to make a mental note where it is. Remember I was stationed at George AFB in Victorville. Can you give me a refrence point from there? (BTW George AFB is where CJ was born.)

I like all your floorplans, Lonnie, Wu, and Mike. Wish we had a more open plan...next house a definite must have

making a travel book of my vacation. Maybe give a little narrative on some of the photos. I might give it as a gift to my friends in Scotland and some family members.

Great idea.

I have been inside biosphere 2 out in Arizona.

Cool...Hi Yay, Zane....gentle kiss on each cheek like in Europe so as not to hit your owie.[/quote]

So good to see the TR's again. Did you roast some hot dogs too? Pork of course, not beef, well except for maybe one.;)

Pete - You're getting there with the tree shark

Crissa - Such cuties. They look cold in the first shot, but guessing you have similar to our weather, they shouldn't be.

Maxey - Let us see some of your pictures for your assignments. We've helped each other a long way by sharing here.
