Ok here is a question for all of ya'll:
Keep in mind you gals brought this up via the snow woman.
Why when it is cold do women have things that grow and men have things that shrink. That don't seem fair. HMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

So, what did Christopher and his pals talk about over their power lunch? Set up networking? Link their PDAs?

YOUR baby is seriously cute Mike. But I feel really sorry for that lady who's baby looks just like Raggedy Andy. That's gonna for sure be the picked on kid at school... :lol:

ROFL!! Do we want to know??

OK, a couple Vader shots. Second one is in Cara's tail. It's where he sleeps now. :lol:

Yule Brenner! Did you have a fist on your hip when you typed this?

GMAE all. Feeling a tad better. Drugs and I don't mix well so I only take sinus stuff at night just before going to bed. That helped me to breath and sleep though I haven't slept through the night in months, I think I did get a 3 hour stretch last night. Even dreamt I took pictures of those silly UFO's from the CNN video.:rolleyes:

Thanks Cat. Nope, internet problems still here.. I just found a lead for the squawky modem, so it's taking hours (literally) to upload the shots. I made sure that was the first one for you....

[Athena]

Nice kittie Pete. :)

[Athena]

Cat - that movie you posted lyrics from last night - is is a true story (off to google it)? I haven't seen it and only know generally what it's about. I wonder if it is banned in Thailand... They are really sensitive to Western story-telling that involves their monarchy. The child in the story is one of their most revered kings - Rama V.

[BearLeeAlive]

Good Day fellow POTNers.

Quite the comical bunch in her last night. I had quite a good chuckle reading through it last night. I was a bit worried for Jamie at one point when he was left on his own to the wiles of some crazy women, but he handled himself quite well.

We had a great night with a few friends over for dinner, smoked back ribs and lots of other great stuff (like scotch, wine & beer). Lotsa fun. :)

Off to check out a couple of the sharing threads.

It's from "The King and I" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0049408/) the musical. I haven't seen the 'real' one, I think it's called "Anna and the King" or something like that.

[cfpackerfan]

Hi, Mike! Nice pic!

[Athena]

OOoooooo - just did a bit of reading about Anna and the King (several versions). NOT well liked by Thai people. Rather offensive culturally. :shock: Shame we feel we need to westernize everything in the world... :roll:

[Athena]

Mike - that is an adorable shot of you and Christopher. Wife did a great job taking it. :)

[Athena]

Pete - have you considered cropping your gorgeous kitteh to a 2/3 aspect portrait? It's got even more impact without that oof part on the left. Really an amazing cat! :)

[puddlepirate44]

;)

[Athena]

I'm all for the use of English, but implying that a country's royal monarch had a romantic interlude and received extensive political counselling from the governess is a bit much... ;)

Apparently there is a fairly recent book about the present King of Thailand that is supposed to be very factual and is also banned in Thailand. I wanted to buy it when I was here last summer, but in light of the coup that happened in September, I am glad I didn't take that back with me! :shock:

No more than that whole Sleeping Beauty thing. Hey, I know she wasn't sleeping. She was faking it.

And Humpty Dumpty was pushed.

And don't get me started on Cinderella and the talking mice or Snow White taking that apple from the hag.... anyone with half a brain could see right through that ruse. Apple, sheesh. At least make it a bag of gummy bears, or something.

What would happen if you were found with said banned book? Fahenheit 451 comes to mind.... :shock:

http://www.the-aperture.com/EE/photos/normal/IMG_6876.jpg

Love the shot, Pete. Here are some little nit-picky things you might've missed:

- I zoomed in on the cat at around 750%, and right there, on the ear to my left, is a hair that just, I don't know, it looks wonky. Just that one hair. It crosses over another hair and it sorta bothers me. I would definitely clone that one out.

-Is it me, or is the right eye .00083% greener than the left? That was strikingly obvious to me. I know it's not my monitor, I calibrate it every five minutes.

-The fungus on the end of the log is the poisonous Myskinrotus offadaboneus. Not something I would want on my photos. Try to spend some time in PS to change it into something less lethal. It should only take six or seven hours to do.

-If you count the leave from the top right, go over 73, then down another 15, there's a spider. It's distracting and draws my eye. I'd clone that out, too.

-There are dark fields of fur over the collar bones of the cat. The one on my left is slightly thicker than the one on the right. I don't know if you're leaving that imbalance there on purpose, but it gives too much weight to one side of your apparent goal of symmetry. That would be something I would fix right away.

-The cat doesn't look angry enough for me. It might work for a few others, but really, I want a cat with more emotion. In PS, under "Filters", click the one marked, "Ticked Off". Move the anger slider to the right until the effect is right.

Outside of that, it's a great photo. :D

Can you tell I've been lurking over at the Wedding Forum lately? ;)

Great shots, but here are some nit-picky things:

-First off....

*chokes as the 30D runs in from the other room and, with the strap, makes a sleeper hold until the typing stops....*

[Athena]

You edited.... sorry - just added the part about that newish book that is also banned (lot of things are banned).

What would happen if you were found with said banned book? Fahenheit 451 comes to mind.... :shock:I am not sure exactly what would happen - it is military rule right now. At minimum they would take the book and fine the he77 out of me. They could deport me. They could jail me. I don't want to find out. :shock: If I ever read the book it won't be on Thai soil. Yep - respect for authority. I got that. ;)

A bit like this?

http://www.the-aperture.com/EE/photos/normal/IMG_6876.jpg
That's nice too Pete. :) I was referring to a portrait orientation with a 2/3 aspect, but this also diminishes that oof portion. :) It's a really striking cat/pose, well captured. :D

I am at work doing a system update. I hate being the IT guy. Sucks that I loose my only day off.

[timbernet]

Question:

Didn't someone over here get a 70-200 f/2.8 IS within the past few months? If so, how do you like it?

[Athena]

That someone would be me - it's a lovely lens. :D

[timbernet]

That someone would be me - it's a lovely lens. :D

Okay, cool... I sold my 70-200 f/2.8 non-IS and am looking at a 70-200 IS lens - there is the f/2.8 IS on FredMiranda really cheap right now - so I am really, really tempted to buy.

[Jamie Holladay]

Just buy it then if it is a good deal.

Perhaps I am overly suspicious, but aren't you concerned with WHY it's really cheap? :confused:

[timbernet]

Perhaps I am overly suspicious, but aren't you concerned with WHY it's really cheap? :confused:

Cheap is relative with these lenses... :-D

I missed it - I asked for a sample RAW file, he sent it to me, I replied saying I would take it but someone else already paypal'ed him :-(

[short5]

We had a great night with a few friends, smoked back ribs and lots of other great stuff
The ribs must be hard to keep lit

Perhaps I am overly suspicious, but aren't you concerned with WHY it's really cheap? :confused: I am with you

Cheap is relative with these lenses... :-D

I missed it - Thats a bummer it is my favorite lens. I have never heard anyone complain of a soft copy.

[Miniflash]

Hi everyone ..just peeping back in to see whats happening here Hi Zane and Jamie ~
Athena you almost ready for the kids to go to school or do you home school?

[timbernet]

I am with you


It was $1475 - right in line with most used versions I see which are $1450 - $1550 - I wasn't too afraid. The guy had good feedback.

If it was $1100 I would question it :-D

Wow thanks Deb:) Look at that mane :shock: I would guess a western guy, they part their hair on the left most times.

[Miniflash]

It was a pretty horse ..long side the road just eating and I yelled out hey horse from the car window and snapped the pic ..hahaha at least Andy drives slow for me :)

Jamie hi ya ..bunmmer you have to work on your day off ..hope it goes ok for ya :)

[Jamie Holladay]

Jamie hi ya ..bunmmer you have to work on your day off ..hope it goes ok for ya :)
I think I am close to being finished.

[Miniflash]

ok then have a good one whats left of it anyways Jamie ! see ya later I"m outta here "poof"

[puddlepirate44]

Wow thanks Deb:) Look at that mane :shock: I would guess a western guy, they part their hair on the left most times.

OK, I know nothing about horses, so I almost laughed about the mane part remark, but then I thought, "What if he's serious? Maybe us Western folk part our manes on the left, the Easterners on the right, horses from the Midwest somewhere in the middle and horses from Kentucky have mullets." What do I know. :rolleyes:

[Jamie Holladay]

Georgia horse have mullets too.

Pete, those are great shots from the zoo. The cat was cool, and loved the proud papa one. Raining hard here today so I packed in the idea of going to the zoo, though there would not likely have been many folks there.

Deb, you sure got lots of great shots on your trip. Great looking horse. :)

[short5]

I yelled out hey horse from the car window and snapped the pic ..hahaha at least Andy drives slow for me :) He does look like he is saying "who me?"

OK, I know nothing about horses, so I almost laughed about the mane part remark, but then I thought, "What if he's serious? I am serious. Most western broke horses have manes on the left as to not interfere with the cowboys rope. Left handed cowboys deal with it or comb to the right. English broke horses are traditionally combed to the right. Some horses have wonky manes and just don't want to go the way you want them to. Also English horses usually have their manes pulled too about 4 inches compared to longer manes on western guys.

A proud new father....

Funny shot Pete.

Also English horses usually have their manes pulled too about 4 inches compared to longer manes on western guys.

Well, OK then. Glad I didn't laugh. :o Never thought about the mane getting in the way of the rope. Clever. So much information, so little brain.

You can tell you shoot. That's a rifle shooter's way of wrapping a strap around your arm.

Or did it just slip?
I carry a body on each shoulder and set the strap length to give added stability when I bring the camera up. This is carried over from my shooting days. I used to be an avid shooter and firearm enthusiast including reloading and matching ammunition to the gun for precision accuracy. After getting horses and picking up a camera this as well as many old hobbies have gone by the wayside.

You guys sure were chatty today while I was gone. And now, Ashley and I are beat. We need to get a little sleep... See ya in the morning.

Hey Lonnie. Good to see that shot of Ashley earlier. Did you have a good time?

Nothing to add...just subscribing to the thread.

Hi Daves-not-here, and welcome. But if you're not here... But then... Oh bother - now I'm confused.

Love the shot, Pete. Here are some little nit-picky things you might've missed:

Outside of that, it's a great photo.

Can you tell I've been lurking over at the Wedding Forum lately? ;)

Great shots, but here are some nit-picky things:

-First off....

I'll bet your mother would be so proud... :lol:

Yep.. She's brought me up well, hasn't she?

[thomascanty]

Hey Lonnie. Good to see that shot of Ashley earlier. Did you have a good time?

Yep, we had a great time. Good food, good company, and Ashley got to spend a few hours schmoozing and begging for attention. It was mostly the same crowd I've been out with a few times before, but there were a couple new people that showed up this time.

Good way to spend an evening...

[Pete]

Oh yeah, I forgot you went to Dwight's place. I'll have to read back and see what happened...

[Athena]

Has he a slice of collie in him? Labs don't normally hunker down like that. Collies do though.

Just out with a couple of friends yesterday, one of which has a little Olympus E-500 (his first SLR). He managed to get some good shots out of it (somewhat soft, but that's nitpicking, it's good VFM).

The broadband is still annoying me, no news until tuesday, could be several days until it's actually sorted.

I just cleaned off my desk. I knew there was an unfinished tuna salad sandwich somewhere, I just didn't remember where.

[Athena]

Whether or not that is gross depends on if the sandwich is from today.... :confused:

[thomascanty]

Did you ask the cat where it went?

[puddlepirate44]

I will not respond to this statement as it may incriminate me. :rolleyes:

[puddlepirate44]

Did you ask the cat where it went?

My cat's not too fond of my tuna salad. Too many jalapenos. :D

[Pete]

Was it the smell that prompted you to look for it, I wonder....?

[puddlepirate44]

Was it the smell that prompted you to look for it, I wonder....?

Why... um... YES, yes it was. Imagine that.

[Pete]

I often find that the scent of beef & horseradish most prompts me to look under papers for where I left the sandwich...

With me, it's usually the crunch of a chip or pretzel that prompts investigation.

[Pete]

Sometimes hidden food is like the really small scrunched up monetary note you leave pushed down in your wallet, it's there for emergencies when you need it.

I got talking to this old guy at the zoo yesterday (he was shooting from a tripod and bemoaning the reflections off the perspex). It turns out he's got a 500mm in his backpack, but he didn't want to use it because it was so heavy. Anyhow, we started talking about stuff, especially how odd camera club competitions are.

Nice old boy.

Complete change to a few people walking around with their monopods and brand new LowePro backpacks. When I see people like that with brand new kit and an obvious ego, I don't find myself drawn toward them. Just me and my beat up 100-400 yesterday.

Well, and Ali carrying my 135L in her handbag... :D

Lovely zoo pics, Pete, and I'm loving the captions. :lol:

PUDS! The race cars were met with an uproar of "Wow!"s and "Cool!"s and "Awesome!!"s.
The kids LOVED them. (I knew they would ;) )

The two chosen for the first race of the season were the skateboard and the submarine. :lol:

Yum, tuna, jalapeños, with BBQ chips on top.

Hi Kit

[cfpackerfan]

Hiya Zane. 'Sup?

Hmmm, I better go to the store and make some dinner or we will end up eating cwap. I will be back in a bit.

[Pete]

Last zoo pic for tonight. Will try and upload more tomorrow.

[Guineh]

This session was probably the most difficult thus far. He's been rather fussy lately, which complicates things. Once we got him non-fussy, he kept wanting to turn over from tummy to back while shooting him, so there's lots sideways pictures. He finally melted down after the diaper pics, so we figured it was time to end it there.

There's lots of great ones, so many to choose from... these are the ones I liked best.

(ed: Oh! six in a row. How could all of you let me do that??! Er, where is everyone?)

[wakko]

WOW nice shots!... how old is Christopher?

[Miniflash]

MR he is so beautiful you did a great job on these i love them all your wife must be pleased :) What a cute little boy ! Great work !

[cfpackerfan]

Mike, he is so incredibly beautiful.

What a treasure.

[Guineh]

WOW nice shots!... how old is Christopher?

Thanks to everyone's wonderful comments. He's 3 months old, now :)

[cfpackerfan]

Looks like he's starting to get a little lip-quiver in the 7th one.

These are so great Mike. What I would have given to have shots of my kids like this.

[wakko]

The lighting is great Mike. What was your setup? And wasn't Christopher so behaved? :) *grin*

Cat: Does look like a lip-quiver eh?!!! :) daaaaw... my kid's 6 months + now, and I'm already getting clucky over younger ones... :D
