[Miniflash]

Hi ya Crissa .. thanks :)
Where ya going ? lol

[cfpackerfan]

Oh COOL, good back seat, good for dating.:p
:shock: Why I oughtta...... :evil::evil::evil:


Scrap metal junkyard pays good money for Chevy Steel. Or so I'm told. *seriously considering it, and looking for a car with no backseat at ALL*

[Skrim17]

Hey Wanda!! I will do it after we get back from the lake. I've got a bunch o money saved up for flights and to pay the balance on the discovery cove booking.

Deb Wanda and I are taking our kids to Disney together this winter AGAIN! We took them when they were 4.

[cylentka]

Front seats can work in a pinch, Cat. ;)

[cfpackerfan]

What about a pay as you learn plan? Have her pay for gas and part of insurance while she learns as payment for the car when she gets her license. and of course add in behavior and grades and what not for good measure.
That's probably what we will end up doing... or something like it.

Dan... FANTASTIC shots!! I love them. Great variety.

[cylentka]

Now I'm trying to remember if I paid the cove in full or just part. :confused:

[cfpackerfan]

Front seats can work in a pinch, Cat. ;) Itty bitty bucket seats with a HUGE dash and a massive center console.. Yep. That's what I'm looking for.

[cylentka]

Ya know, I once saw a video of a couple doing it on a wave runner. Crazy military guys taped them from their helicopter!

Good to know our tax dollars are being well spent, lol. That sounds exciting and painful all at the same time.

[Miniflash]

Cat no worry if she is gonna do it ..she won't even need a car ,But sounds like she has nice morals and a good mom and not to mention a whole lotta aunts to keep her in line hahahah

[puddlepirate44]

Here is a shot from some fishing docks in Charleston Oregon ..from a night when my nephew took us crabbing :)

I'sn't that cool Dan ..My nephews family own a boat at the docks I was just walking up and down the docks with the camera .Miss Mini fell in the ocean hahaha she thought sea weed was grass and stepped right off the dock ,good thing she had a leash on and only weighs 7lbs . :lol:

[Becky N]

then I get to pack, woo-hoo!

Have a great time Crissa.

Ok great news I just heard from the publisher at Nissan Sport he wants all 10 of these:

Congrats Jamie.

I like the remnants on this one.

Great catch T.D.

Wade's boss just gave Marian a car.

:shock:

Oh COOL, good back seat, good for dating.

:shock::shock:

.... it's a rule in our house that you have to purchase your own first car. (something to do with responsibility and morals yadda yadda yadda) So we're thinking of 'letting her' learn how to drive in it, then having her get a (small) loan to buy it from us when she turns 16.

Sounds like a plan, put the money toward the insurance. That will be a shocker, but; even more so when the boys begin to drive.

Please be prepared with beer.

Got a whole case cold and ready. Or well start a fresh tapper if needed.

i think i did well on me test

Good for you.

I feel like posting photos (art center)

Very nice Max, like has already been said, tweak the WB just a tad. You caught some great expressions.

Tomorrow, I'll be hanging out at Dwight McCann's house with a bunch o' other POTN members.

Tell Dwight and other HI from Curt and I. Have a great time.

The solution is a MAC. I need to figure out if that is a solution I am willing to head towards.

MAC was smart and went the way of Media Processing after MS won over the business world. I've toyed with the idea myself.

Here is a shot from Crater lake area ...
http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/miniflash_2006/IMG_5013.jpg

Very nice Deb as are the other shots you have shared.

"Attempt" would be the operative word in the above sentence.

Oh Puleese.

Some balloon shots from this mornin':
http://www.smugmug.com/photos/187459325-L.jpg

http://www.smugmug.com/photos/187470021-L.jpg

I found a 4 foot foam one for 99, i might get that.

This would be good, or a 4x4. With the cost of lumber the $99 might be the better buy, plus possible resale if she decides she doesn't want to stick with it.

Some more,

http://www.smugmug.com/photos/187458031-L.jpg


Dan was that a one man balloon ? lol how fun that would be

There would be no way you would get me in that, a basket maybe, but no way in a lawn chair.

[cylentka]

LOL Deb, that is so funny!

[Athena]

Here is a shot from Crater lake area ...
very pretty Deb! :)

The second one (browner) is more accurate. Which is good. It's the color I wanted.That just confuses me more. That is the one using soft proof monitor rgb. :roll: That is the NOT color managed one. You are saying the one in the color managed app doesn't look real. I give up. I hate computers. :(

Itty bitty bucket seats with a HUGE dash and a massive center console.. Yep. That's what I'm looking for.
Yeah, but all they'll have to do is drive to where ever HIS car is parked... Gonna have to trust her. She's a good girl. :D

[puddlepirate44]

Itty bitty bucket seats with a HUGE dash and a massive center console.. Yep. That's what I'm looking for.

Naw, just tell Marian that you're looking for a backseat that you'll be comfortable in, 'cuz, don'tcha know, you're going on all her dates. All. Her. Dates. :twisted:

[Becky N]

Miss Mini fell in the ocean hahaha she thought sea weed was grass and stepped right off the dock ,good thing she had a leash on and only weighs 7lbs . :lol:

Is there a pattern here? Park Pond, back deck, ocean...to quote T.D. "Just Say'n" :D;)

[puddlepirate44]

I'sn't that cool Dan ..My nephews family own a boat at the docks I was just walking up and down the docks with the camera .Miss Mini fell in the ocean hahaha she thought sea weed was grass and stepped right off the dock ,good thing she had a leash on and only weighs 7lbs . :lol:

Deb, I'm thinking your dog might have serious Kamikaze tendencies. :shock:

There would be no way you would get me in that, a basket maybe, but no way in a lawn chair.

Lawn chair. *snortsnicker*

[cylentka]

Miss Mini either needs her bangs cut, or glasses. :D

[Miniflash]

Wanda , I didn't get to see it happen but was there to dry her off hahaha I saw her looking at it and thought she might do something stupid ...well she did hahaha everyone was sweet to her she musta got a rude awakining nows shes used 2 of nine lives ..she takes after the cats with 9 ...lol

[Athena]

Miss Mini either needs her bangs cut, or glasses. :D

or wings :lol:

[misspix]

Hi Terri ~waving from NY
Hi Deb :D I'm loving your Oregon shots!
I thought it looked scary.:confused:
Me too!
Naw, just tell Marian that you're looking for a backseat that you'll be comfortable in, 'cuz, don'tcha know, you're going on all her dates. All. Her. Dates. :twisted:
Yep. *nods vigorously in agreement*

Dan: I love the balloons! I had the opportunity to shoot a balloon rally years ago (pre digi) and I just had a blast. They (balloonists) are about the friendliest bunch-I would love to shoot another rally.

[Miniflash]

Miss Mini is un touched by it all don't ya think?
http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/miniflash_2006/IMG_4419.jpg

[cylentka]

Becky, did you get storms? We've got hail coming down at the moment.

[BearLeeAlive]

Naw, just tell Marian that you're looking for a backseat that you'll be comfortable in, 'cuz, don'tcha know, you're going on all her dates. All. Her. Dates. :twisted:
LMAO, I'm sure Marian would be SO impressed with this. :)
Great idea though. :lol:

Yep Cat, ya gotta instill those good morals and let her loose trusting that she will do good. Though, teenage boys can sure be persuasive.

Old joke, you have likely heard it, but.

Why do men name their penises?

They don't want a total stranger making 90% of their decisions.

[puddlepirate44]

Wanda , I didn't get to see it happen but was there to dry her off hahaha I saw her looking at it and thought she might do something stupid ...well she did hahaha everyone was sweet to her she musta got a rude awakining nows shes used 2 of nine lives ..she takes after the cats with 9 ...lol

I'm glad Miss Mini is OK, Deb.... just to let you know, the Sea Lions there are not very kind nor do they care where they get their food. Some Sea Lions see the Charleston harbor as their pantry. Dogs have been known to, um, disappear off of the docks.... :rolleyes:

[cylentka]

That dog cracks me up, Deb! :D

[Miniflash]

Thanks Terri ~ it is soooooooooooo Beautiful in Oregon you almost can't miss :)

[BearLeeAlive]

Miss Mini is un touched by it all don't ya think?
She has that goofy, but cute, look there Deb. :)
She's a sweetheart.

[Maxed Out]

Becky, did you get storms? We've got hail coming down at the moment.

just when you said that, it started raining REALLY hard:confused:

Yep Cat, ya gotta instill those good morals and let her loose trusting that she will do good. Though, teenage boys can sure be persuasive.

SHHHHHH!!!

[Mgdh]

Ok - when I use the eye dropper in "monitor color" I get: 3c3d1e
And in PS (managed color?!?) I get 3b4418

ACK! :shock:

Double ACK! I'm not sure I want to get into this managed colour thing - sounds too much for my head to handle. As my monitors are set, they seem to show things that look right (and I can see the problems others complain of) and I'll just stay in sRGB to keep things simple... maybe.

* happy dance *

I'm off to the zoo tomorrow..

Sounds good, Pete. I've got to go through my Brisol Zoo pics from earlier in the week to see if there's anything usable.

Tomorrow, I'll be hanging out at Dwight McCann's house with a bunch o' other POTN members.

Sounds cool, Lonnie. Is this a studio session? I think I remember Dwight setting one up?

Here is a shot from some fishing docks in Charleston Oregon ..from a night when my nephew took us crabbing :)


Loving the shots from the trip, Deb. This is lovely.

I KNOW THESE BOATS!!

See the one on the extreme right? I boarded that one when I was in the Coast Guard.

:shock: Wow. Small world. Didja find anything, Puds?

[puddlepirate44]

Dan: I love the balloons! I had the opportunity to shoot a balloon rally years ago (pre digi) and I just had a blast. They (balloonists) are about the friendliest bunch-I would love to shoot another rally.

Well, get in that Dragon Wagon and get up here. There's a Night Glow tonight and then tomorrow AM they take off again. After that, there's a classic car show..... Right here.... Within your grasp.... Love to have ya....

[cylentka]

We have gotten 8 inches of rain this week! Boats are banned from the lakes because of rising water.

[Mgdh]

Oh, and TD and Puds - I LOVE the balloon shots. Every time I see shots from something like this it makes me want to go. Unfortunately, they are normally a few hours away :(

[Miniflash]

I'm glad Miss Mini is OK, Deb.... just to let you know, the Sea Lions there are not very kind nor do they care where they get their food. Some Sea Lions see the Charleston harbor as their pantry. Dogs have been known to, um, disappear off of the docks.... :rolleyes:
YIKES DAN I know scared me to death ... she was fine I was shaken because i have a phobia about fish and big sea creatures including sea lions hahaha ..for real ...I was always watching even asking if they weould come on the docks ,,of course they would lie to me and say no but I didn't believe em ..look I know they do

Thanks Jim she is a doll for a dog :) a real keeper :rolleyes:

[puddlepirate44]

SHHHHHH!!!

Yup. If you tried to date my daughter, they would never find your body. Honest. Never.

:shock: Wow. Small world. Didja find anything, Puds?

NO! I never got to go on the cool boardings. They saved that for the officers. I got the boardings that no one wanted or when it was too rough out for the officers to go. :rolleyes: Had fun anyways. :D

[Becky N]

Becky, did you get storms? We've got hail coming down at the moment.

No, just dark clouds all day, still calling for rain throughout the night. Suppose to finally break this pattern tomorrow.:D

This evening is the first home game for our HS football team. I'm not going...after taking care of Aiden's every need last weekend, he left me with a cold.:rolleyes: CJ called and told me Tuesday Aiden was running a slight fever and the DR. said it was a summer cold.:(

Going to nurse mine tonight and tomorrow in hopes I'm not too miserable for the Ren Faire on Sunday.

[Jamie Holladay]

parents make it so hard these days:lol::lol:
no not really, I am sure that Cat bought Marian a blanket to keep warm during the winter. She either:
a: needs to keep it in the trunk of the 2 seater when it is not required for her bed
b: go to walmart and buy one herlself.

Back seats are not required.

sorry Cat just keeping it real
and taking notes as I will have to deal with this in 3-4 years with Makayla and then Noah <=== that one is the one that worries me!

[puddlepirate44]

YIKES DAN I know scared me to death ... she was fine I was shaken because i have a phobia about fish and big sea creatures including sea lions hahaha ..for real ...I was always watching even asking if they weould come on the docks ,,of course they would lie to me and say no but I didn't believe em ..look I know they do


Yeah, those sea lions are really smart. Very fun to watch.... from a distance. :shock:

Oh, and TD and Puds - I LOVE the balloon shots.

Thanks, Mark. It was a fun day. We're going back tomorrow.....

[Becky N]

Dan - Just went to your Smuggy gallery on the balloons, some gorgeous shots and gorgeous patterns on the canopies. Wouldn't give it a second thought to go again tomorrow morning. You had some beautiful skies today to punch out the colors.

Oh, and I liked the Starbucks shot.

[Maxed Out]

Yup. If you tried to date my daughter, they would never find your body. Honest. Never.

I dont really have to worry about that.....but......I dont blame you:lol:

[cylentka]

Becky, they said we'd get a break in the weather on Sunday. My grass is a foot tall. We've gone from one extreme to the other this summer!!

I hope your cold gets better real fast!

[Jamie Holladay]

We have gotten 8 inches of rain this week! Boats are banned from the lakes because of rising water.
Send us some RAIN.
Yup. If you tried to date my daughter, they would never find your body. Honest. Never.
Ditto.

[Skrim17]

I wanted to do a sensor cleaning before our trip and I can't find my rocket blower...grr.

[Miniflash]

Since I didn't get a chance to meet Dan lisa or Terri while in oregon I figured I should post this shot to show you I was realy there hehe .. next time I"m coming after you guys .(you .know who you are) lol
http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/miniflash_2006/Oregon096.JPGsm.jpgthis was my view from the hotel I stayed at .

[cylentka]

Jamie, I think they said it was heading south on Sunday, so get your umbrella out!

[Maxed Out]

Send us some RAIN.

Ditto.

that reminds me.....were you affected by katrina?

[Skrim17]

No beer Becky, tea, emergen-c, zinc lozenges and rest for you young lady!

[cylentka]

Nice shot, Deb! And great view.

[Becky N]

Here's the aforementioned Starbucks shot. It's how I coaxed Lisa out of the house at 0500 this morning:

[Athena]

I have decided tonight would be a good time to open that bottle of red I bought a week or so ago... sigh.

[Jamie Holladay]

Jamie, I think they said it was heading south on Sunday, so get your umbrella out!
Oh that would be great. The lakes here are below where they are in the winter. St. Clair county is at water warning level 4. No washing cars, watering grass etc. Very Very Bad. We even have a forrest fire, which is VERY rare here.
that reminds me.....were you affected by katrina?
Only be the endless coverage on the news. I'll stay off that soap box.

[cfpackerfan]

That's a GREAT pic of you Deb!!!

[Becky N]

I figured I should post this shot to show you I was realy

Beautiful shot Deb.

No beer Becky, tea, emergen-c, zinc lozenges and rest for you young lady!

OK, been doing all but the Zinc anyway since early this morning. Had already planned that tomorrow was going to be my sleep whenever day. I've needed one of those for a long time anyway. Oh, and a long hot soak tonight and tomorrow night too.:D

[Jamie Holladay]

I have decided tonight would be a good time to open that bottle of red I bought a week or so ago... sigh.
Wait until I get home and we can have a glass together. I am stopping to buy a bottle on my way home.

[Skrim17]

the zinc can help shorten the life of a cold, you could try some ecchinacea too.

[cylentka]

The lakes here are below where they are in the winter. St. Clair county is at water warning level 4. No washing cars, watering grass etc. Very Very Bad. We even have a forrest fire, which is VERY rare here.

That was pretty much our situation until the floodgates opened! Except we didn't have a forest fire. I don't think we have a forest... :confused:

[cylentka]

Well I have some dishes and laundry waiting for me downstairs, so I'll bid y'all goodnight!

[Skrim17]

Deb that is a great photo, perfect light. You look very glamorous!

[Skrim17]

Night Wanda!

[Becky N]

the zinc can help shorten the life of a cold, you could try some ecchinacea too.

Used those in the past, all they seem to do is make my tongue numb.:rolleyes: E-Merg-N-C seems to be the best defense I've found, for me anyway.

This is why I love my newest Pelican case that holds everything, I can now find something when I need it.

Deb, that is a great shot of you with a fantastic backdrop. Why ever were you tryin' to get us to believe you are over 40, your photo tells us otherwise. :)

[BearLeeAlive]

:lol: Love this one. I'm going to remember this for when my kids are old enough to start dating. :lol:

Is there a pattern here? Park Pond, back deck, ocean...to quote T.D. "Just Say'n"

Deb, I'm thinking your dog might have serious Kamikaze tendencies. :shock:


There may be something in this theory... ;)

Miss Mini is un touched by it all don't ya think?


Awww. She's such a cutie!

I don't think you'd like the initiation. From Pete's favourite Brit slang dictionary - just scroll down. Max, you'll need to cover your eyes until you get to the right entry to protect yoour innocent mind...

To be honest, I did first hear it from a Scottish co-worker many years ago, but it is used by others here too. We have a much stronger tie to British speech than our friends south of the 49th do.

Maxy, check out the definition for poof and poofter here.

Sometimes things translate differently around the world. Sometimes it can be funny, sometimes it can be a bit awkward :shock: just depends on when and where it's said and who hears it!

HE LIVES in north bend ,coos bay area Dan :)

Yup. That's the McCullough Memorial bridge. The small communities on that side of the bay are usually known as Glasgow or Kentuck. I actually lived there as a kid for a couple of years. Lots of memories.

lol Becky!! I am trying to pare down for a blurb book but so far I've over 100 images. I figure some pages will have 4 shots on them tho. I won't get it done before we leave tho which sucks, but I'd rather take the time to make it look as good as possible. Plus after the experience I'll be confident to do the one for the folks who are letting us stay in their place for the week.

How go the wedding plans?

[Becky N]

Cool, in a hot way, Lisa. Yes, how are the wedding plans?

[puddlepirate44]

We've been married for almost 23 years. So, I'm guessing, that the plans are going pretty well.

[Permagrin]

How go the wedding plans?

so far it's all going smoothly...no bumps (kinda scary actually that everything is flowing along so well).

[Permagrin]

Gorgeous colors, looks like you all had great weather for shooting. Who all was there?

[Maxed Out]

Hi-ya Permi!!!

[Permagrin]

Gorgeous colors, looks like you all had great weather for shooting. Who all was there?

thanks :)

It was really nice this morning. There were 5 of us there.
The two boys from Boring (timbernet: Scott & aussieskier: Riley)
TD: Chris
and Dan and I.

It was a little different than our normal get togethers...we had a good time but it was SO EARLY...most of us just took off in a different direction and the sum total of conversation was "hello" "hi" "got coffee??" "yep" "OH GOOD" .....and then "see ya" "have a good day" gonna go get more coffee?" "yep" "OH GOOD!" :lol:


and hullo Max :)

Cat & Athena, have you open your wine yet?

[Jamie Holladay]

I stop and got a bottle of wine, some flahers and assembled the light box when I got home. This is my first attempt. Not happy with it. Going to try some more

:shock: Why I oughtta...... and looking for a car with no backseat at ALL*
What I was thinking for the chaperon:rolleyes: Leyla had a Fiat Spider when we where 16, no chaperon;)
I KNOW THESE BOATS!!

See the one on the extreme right? I boarded that one when I was in the Coast Guard.Thats cool Dan!

I"m horrified and laughing all at the same time.

Sorry Kit I guess you didn't need the extra anxiety.

Miss Mini is un touched by it all don't ya think?
Good thing Deb, really nice shots today


Lawn chair. *snortsnicker*Google it there is some nut job emulating another guy by flying huge distances in a lawn chair hung from big helium balloons. He shoots the balloons when he wants to descend.

I have decided tonight would be a good time to open that bottle of red I bought a week or so ago... sigh. What color is it? Not quite red eh? Sorry, I hope you solve your color woes

So, you wanna be a poofter, eh?:lol:

what are the steps to become one.....i know I have the force
hopefully its not like joining a fraturnity:confused:stupid rituals Laughing hysterically
Oh maxufus...

Censored, please oh please!
Lol thanks Dan thats great

That's a mighty impressive censored sign the Chief is sporting.just sayin'. . . I would expect you to look:p

OK ONE LAST PIC FOR TONIGHT ....THIS WAS NEAR MY BROS HOUSE
Wow very pretty
Evening (PST Time ) everyone....

Just wanted to post my "Zane fire": shots from today:

Thanks Permi lovely shots. Thanks to all the balloon shooters who posted fire for me. I really like the close ups of the burner. Dan got a great one with gas fumes coming out. It looks like the early hour and the balloon itself soften the reflections on the metal of the burner. You all got really nice exposures of what is hard to shoot, a shiny metal part.

^^^ That x2 ^^^

Dan, thanks for that censorship. I am normally not a fan of censoring, but this time I am thankful. :lol:

cool what did you make it with Jamie. You may want a custom WB when shooting in it.

[Jamie Holladay]

I made one simular to what Cat posted some months ago.

Yeah the custom WB is what I am working on. BRB.

[Jamie Holladay]

How do figure out the custome WB. The background is WHITE and I mean WHITE. It is coming out really tan in the originals.

[Maxed Out]

:lol:Laughing hysterically

im guessing your laughing hysterically means that it will never happen:(:lol:

[Permagrin]

okay...way way way way back from when....

GREAT kid photos!!

Crissa, I loved the shot of the 3 kids looking in the doorway...that was too cute!

Deb, nice portrait! Pleased to meet you at last.
And your neice is beautiful.

everyone else, there were so many lovely shots over the last several days, I realized I'd have to post several segments just to comment on them all....so I opted for a size 7:

NICELY DONE!! We do have LOADS of talent around here :)

I'm off now....running on 4.5 hrs sleep and starting to fade.

g'night everyone!

[Becky N]

Nice colors and you caught a nice morning light, Lisa.

[Maxed Out]

Hey zane can you fill me in on what is a lightbox and what it is used for and its effect?

[Becky N]

Hi Zane

[short5]

How do figure out the custome WB. The background is WHITE and I mean WHITE. It is coming out really tan in the originals.
Do you have a 18% gray card? You set a WB off that or take a piece of paper that is true white. Shoot it properly exposed, focus is not important. Menu>custom WB>select(the image of the card or paper)> set your WB to the custom symbol

[short5]

Hi Becky hows things?

[short5]

Hey zane can you fill me in on what is a lightbox and what it is used for and its effect?

Do a search for light cube. It is a semi transparent box usually made of white tent like material. Lights or strobes are placed out side the box and they appear soft, uniform, and diffused inside the box. It is often used for product shoots. I'll post an example in a second.

[Skrim17]

you could just shoot the box interior and set that as your custom WB.

[Jamie Holladay]

Hey zane can you fill me in on what is a lightbox and what it is used for and its effect?
A light box is a box that you shine lights into to eliminate shadows. Short Version.
Do you have a 18% gray card? You set a WB off that or take a piece of paper that is true white. Shoot it properly exposed, focus is not important. Menu>custom WB>select(the image of the card or paper)> set your WB to the custom symbol
Could I do that with the piece of cloth that I am using as a back drop. I don't have a 18% card.

[Jamie Holladay]

you could just shoot the box interior and set that as your custom WB.
Ok I will try that. Thanks Crissa




Here is the lastest round. I corrected the WB in Raw.

Hi Becky hows things?

[short5]

Cat & Athena, have you open your wine yet? Yessir. A nice Chianti. Mmmmm.

I stop and got a bottle of wine, some flahers and assembled the light box when I got home. This is my first attempt. Not happy with it. Going to try some more

http://www.24zero.com/Flowers/082407/IMG_6763.jpg That is very pretty, but it is underexposed. The lightbox will automatically make your camera underexpose... try some +EC to compensate.

Second shot is nicely done. :D

Goodnight Becky. Sorry you got the snifflies.

Nice multi-quote Zaney. ;)
