40D - ordered. Aaahhhhhh....

Super! A great camera...enjoy!

[Kathy H]

Quick shot from yesterdays wedding I really liked

http://www.jefftoogood.com/files/40D_IMG_0963.jpg

Nice one Jeff! LOVE it! Going to look for more...did you post them yet?

[Kathy H]

Suzie, cute action shot! Priceless!

Jon, that's amazing! You did get them even with the high ISO, I guess thats all the more reason I should never take my camera off of RAW! I would have got NOTHING!

[Kathy H]

40D - ordered. Aaahhhhhh....

Whoo hoo! You are going to LOVE that camera! Congratulations!

[Belmondo]

Off topic....


If you get the chance to see the movie 'Bella,' do it. It's a feel good movie that I really enjoyed. It has a subtle 'pro-life' message, but that's really a very minor part of the movie. It's a very touching story without being overly sappy.

BTW, I have no public opinions on the subject of abortion. My recommendation is based solely on the fact that this is a good movie, and one I think most people could enjoy regardless of their position on a very touchy subject.

[SuzyView]

Jon, I heard about the Andrews show yesterday while showering and forgot to e-mail you about whether you planned to go or not. If I had known earlier, I would have made an effort to go. I love planes.

Jim, very nice breakfast. Wish I could have joined you. I ate some mini-muffins and hot chocolate for breakfast on the fly before church.

Jeff, excellent shot. I like it too.

Tom, how are you today? Hot?

Chris, congrats on the 40D. I captured that shot with my 40D and it was good. I didn't do any PP on it either, not even USM. That's straight RAW to jpeg from my 40D and 100-400. Great lens. Thanks, everyone, for recommending it.

[Chris Dana]

Ahh, the joys of having the house to oneself. Waiting for the carpet to dry after steaming it. I have a very content kitty cat sitting in the window staring outside.

Next: go fill a prescription for the wife and start working on getting the new closet organizer together. Maybe finish putting curtains up, too.

Suzy - Thanks! I'm really looking forward to playing with the 40D. Glad the rebates happened when they did as I want to make sure I know how to use the camera befre my next wedding gig in June.

[Jon]

Jon,

That is a cool capture...were these from the Air Show at Andrews?No - back in early April there was a ceremony at the Air Force Memorial; they had a B-17, P-51 and P-40 do a fly-by. Unfortunately, the Spitfire had to cancel.

Suzie, cute action shot! Priceless!

Jon, that's amazing! You did get them even with the high ISO, I guess thats all the more reason I should never take my camera off of RAW! I would have got NOTHING!Still didn't make up for my needing about 900 mm more lens, but yep, that's still another reason to shoot RAW. RAW+JPEG, maybe (I do), but making sure that RAW's there . . .

Thanks, everyone, for recommending it.Sorta given up on Andrews - it's just a major hassle getting in there any more. I go more for the small air shows, or milestone events nowadays.

It's not really the same as the 20D or 5D settings, the ISO button is on the far right. I get them mixed up sometimes and have to rethink. The LCD menu settings are all different and I have to scroll to different tools first. It was a little difficult for me at first, now I can do it fast. Practice, you'll really like it.

Seeing as I've only used an XTi until now, it's going to be a HUGE change for me. I've actually never really shot from anything other than an XTi.

[SuzyView]

You'll love the weight and feel of the 40D. It's just heavy enough, and not nearly as heavy as the earlier versions of the 10D, 20D, 30D. But it's not nearly as beautiful as my 5D, which is my take everywhere camera. But the 40D is really wonderful. I love it for sports.

[LeesaB]

Uh oh.

Missed it again.

Oh well.

You know, there is a price to be paid LOL

[LeesaB]

40D - ordered. Aaahhhhhh....

Yes FinALLY....remember to take pics when you get it

[SuzyView]

Going to pause a little here and eat some steak and ribs and rice and veggies. Yum.

Another good movie "the human stain" I watched it the other night, wow

[LeesaB]

and now..

Guess where I am? :-)

I'm back in NY by request of a friend who had to make a run to do some kind of business...

HOW COOL! We made the run last night AND I have internet there. At my friend Bri's there is no way for me to sign on wireless.

I hope to get out tomorrow and take some shots! You know I will!

[SuzyView]

NY again! Wow. You lucky girl.

[LeesaB]

NY again! Wow. You lucky girl.

You know, there was a time I wanted to live here, but, I like visiting more.

It seems this may be something I can do all the time with them. Which is great, except the winter....NYC in the winter is gross! anywhere in the winter is gross

[Belmondo]

You know, there is a price to be paid LOL

Oh no! Not the tickle torture again!! :shock:

[LeesaB]

got my feather RIGHT here! LOL

[LeesaB]

Is there a way to send out an email to many people on your facebook?

anyone know?

[LeesaB]

Ok, going out for dinner, I'll be back

Be good!

[JimAskew]

Anyone watching the Tudor series Sundays on Showtime? Awesome series!

[Belmondo]

New York doesn't make me jealous. My brother-in-law just called a while ago, and he was on his way out to dinner.......in Geneva, Switzerland.

That makes me jealous.:evil:

[SuzyView]

Jim, I may be taking my teenager students and my ladies photography class to NYC for a 2 day trip, separately, because I can't afford to do both groups all at once. I will be visiting my sisters in Brooklyn. PM me on details of your son's place. I'm thinking August.

[SuzyView]

I have friends in Kenya right now. They went on a weekend safari last weekend. Now, I asked if they were excited and they said, "Oh yeah!" That is making me crazy. I'd love to travel, but it's not in the cards right now. I have many friends in Hong Kong, but I can't get away right now.

[Tommy]

KATHY!!! Check it out! I found something for us!!

I have to cook dinner now for me and the little one, so I'll get back on later and share how it was done if you want! ;)

[Tommy]

Lisa!! NY AGAIN?!?!

We should have a meetup there... because I would LOVE to go back! I've only been to NYC once.... and I'm so close to it... :(

[kja]

Toogy - beautiful shot of your bride!

Chris - I'm picking up another 40D during this rebate period, where did you decide to buy from? You're going to love the camera :)

Lisa - you're becoming a regular travel-addict! Looking forward to photos of NYC and from your wedding this weekend.

Hi, Everyone! I did my first maternity shoot yesterday and boy is that a tough thing to do. By far the toughest shoot I've done - including my first solo wedding LOL I have to do some work and take the pups to the beach and then I'll try to get some images up for comment, if you're so willing.

I got mine from B&H. I was hoping that calumet was going to have their rebates up sooner, but I didn't want to wait much longer. I want to have it in my hands before we go to Wisconsin for Memorial Day weekend.

Post 'em up!

Thanks Tommy! Now I have to go play around with it and see if I can figure it out. You gave great instructions, but I am not the sharpest tack in the box when it comes to new PP stuff! :oops:

[Tommy]

No prob Kathy! Let me know how it works for you! ;)

Kristin,

Wonderful...just wonderful! One small critique the hands on the belly forming the heart is not very flattering...perhaps some PP could smooth over her belly button ring scars?

[Chris Dana]

Good morning all.

Another week of the grind coming up!

[Kathy H]

Good morning all.

Getting ready for another week of hyper students, we're counting down though, 17.5 days till summer vacation, and I can not wait!:D

Have a great day everyone.

[SuzyView]

Great maternity shots! She's so big! I love that.

Now I'm getting all the threads I watch mixed up this morning. I'm waiting for the call to meet for the front sign. And I am still having allergy issues. Sorry about that, everyone.

[Belmondo]

Good morning!!

It's hot here....108 again today. Relief is coming, though. By Friday, it should be back in the low/middle 80s.

I'm gonna guess that when it drops back down to the 80's everyone there will be scrambling and looking for their coats... lol...

Just got confirmation that my 40D shipped. Now if it'd only hurry up and get here.

[Kathy H]

:shock:

Got an expected arrival date yet?

Then you have to wait for the battery to charge!

You are going to LOVE that camera. I shot with XT's for a couple years and when my 40D arrived, I was one HUGE smile:D

[Belmondo]

I have two pro bodies (1D Mk III and 1Ds Mk II), and I find myself carrying the 40D most of the time. It is a sensational camera, and does not have the penalty of weight that goes along with the larger cameras. There are also some advantages to the 1.6X crop.

You're going to be a very happy camper.

[Chris Dana]

B&H says that it should be here on Wednesday.

I now get to teach the wife how to use the XTi. That will become her camera for snapshots with the kit lens (when I'm not using it on gigs). She doesn't like the weight of the 17-55 f/2.8 IS with everything else. Maybe later I'll get her an IS lens...I probably should've ordered the 40D with the kit lens and put that on the XTi.

I also ordered a couple of diamondback batteries; we'll see how they work out.

[JimAskew]

Hi All,

I finished printing the "galley proof" memory book for the funeral I did 3 weeks ago. I ended up with 88 PP photos and I plan to reduce these to 50-60 for the formal 5x7 book. The galley proofs are low res 8x10's and I mounded them in a GBC binder with a glassy cover and a hard back.

Now comes the hard part...I have to sit down with the widow and help her to select the ones for the formal Memory Book. I plan to do this on Tuesday night with her and her daughter.

I have already started printing the 5x7s I know will end up in the book...about 30-40 photos are obvious (at least to me). I use matte 60 lb paper I get on bulk order from Red River Paper. These are as thick as postcard stock and print very nicely on my EPSON R800.

[LeesaB]

Ok...I am now offically jealous :) Have a great time and take tons of photos!

New York doesn't make me jealous. My brother-in-law just called a while ago, and he was on his way out to dinner.......in Geneva, Switzerland.

Makes me jealous, I love NY, but this was just a Very fast trip. Kinda just a go and drop something off and come right back, it was cold and wet! But the ride was nice.

I'm back, SEE, so it was not THAT kind of trip. Just went to help out ! Which is fun also, cuz you get to act all big and tuff LOL

So, what did I miss? besides I need to get my PP done

BH is real good on shipping, Chris how much was it with the discount?

they have a local store with an ad from yesterday for 1099 body only.

Tom, next time I go to NY, your on! It's only about a 6 hour drive for us, how long for you?

[LeesaB]

NY again! Wow. You lucky girl.

not always luck! I have some good friends who like to keep me interested in their field of work (my old field). I get to do some fun things.

[LeesaB]

Okay anyone around? My gosh, the thread is like sleeping?

It was 939 with the rebate. Body only.

I handed the XTi manual to my wife last night and said, "Learn it. Live it. Love it." She didn't find it quite as amusing as I did.

No, she won't be my second. She wants to use the XTi for snapshots, etc. She likes the weight of it with the kit lens, but can't stand the weight of it with the 580EX and the 17-55 2.8 on it. She'll probably hate the weight of the 40D.

I love the feel of the 40D

She may not, I have the grip also, but my assistant does not want a grip either. so I said Okay, easy for me!

[SuzyView]

I'm here for a second, will be picking kids up and doing the lessons thing. Hope everyone had a good weekend.

Hi all! Kinda slow here today, so I ran home for lunch at posted some of my granddaughter.

I'M DONE!!! Though they only exist on MySpace so I can copy and paste to here. But you can't view them all unless on zenfolio. Oh well, that's next. I've been done, but I couldn't find this thread and I'm all done, they are gone! To the owners. :D

Now to my next batch, should only take a week.

[kja]

Thanks for taking the time to go look and offer some feedback! The more the better coz we are headed out again this afternoon for a beach session!

Kristin,
Wonderful...just wonderful! One small critique the hands on the belly forming the heart is not very flattering...perhaps some PP could smooth over her belly button ring scars?

We briefly talked about marks, but she's so happy with the whole pregnancy thing that they don't bother her and are seen as a mark of what is happening. I might PP one or two images just to give her the option now that you mention it. Honestly, after being with them, it never even crossed my mind when I downloaded the cards!

Great maternity shots! She's so big! I love that.

Thanks!

So how is everyone today?

[kja]

Kathy - too cute on the grand-daughter set! I love the first and second ones. Her little feet in number two are precious :)

[Kathy H]

Thanks Kristin!:D Your maternity pics were great too! I have respect for anyone that can do a maternity shoot and make the woman look somewhat comfortable. There are only so many poses you can do in that condition. You did a great job.

I hope she is due pretty soon, it doesn't look like theres much more room for growth, she's VERY pregnant!:lol:

[Kathy H]

So where is everyone? Wow this place is incredibly quiet!

[kja]

Yeah, it's dead in here. I think I killed it :(

Thanks for the kind words. We're going out for a new session this afternoon - to the beach. We shall see what happens. She is off to Perth in two weeks but due on 4 July. She's only a little slip of a thing, maybe 5'2" ish and is at 84kgs now LOL She's so happy about the whole thing, though.

[LeesaB]

I'm here, for the moment, added to my blog, working on PP.

Coming up for air...watched the house final!

I missed something???

[Kathy H]

More maternity shots, just on the beach this time?

I am trying to clean a bunch of junk out of my computer, it is so loaded with stuff right now and I know I don't need half of it.

I have the joy of ordering some images from Mpix in just a bit, I really hate their online ordering set up, it's really slow and seems so backwards to me, but I guess I have to do it.:( I was ordering from a different place but the service and prints are just as good at Mpix and the price is about 1/3 of the other place.

[Belmondo]

Hi, guys.

We're heading out to the pool in a couple minutes.

The next time I post, it will be with wrinkled fingers.

I think they are a bit "better" then Mpix. they don't have that sports stuff, but as far as prints, I'd go with WHCC. Plus you can get like 5 free prints to make sure your machine is calibrated well!

Check them out!

That is a pretty cool sketch though. You have sure gotten into the arts lately, that's great!

[Kathy H]

Well with that, I think I will head to bed, and if I dream of killer chicken nuggets Jared........

[thekid24]

That's an on the napkin sketch:D Is it a chicken nugget man? Where is his dipping sauce?

That is a pretty cool sketch though. You have sure gotten into the arts lately, that's great!

Good Morning All...this is your "official" wakeup call :)

Here is how our morning is progressing...this started last night around midnight.

Tom, how many gallons do you want Suzie and I to ship your way ;)

[Belmondo]

Wow!! That's just plain ugly, Jim.

I'd say send as much as you can spare. It was 113 here yesterday, and I'm sick of hot weather already. Gee. Only 5 more months before things cool off.:lol:

[LeesaB]

I'm dripping and tucking, all at the same time.

Goodnight, Lisa.

Goodnight, everyone else.

So it kinda went drip, tuck, drip, tuck? LOL

Stop eating at McDonalds, it's giving you nightmares lol

I'll take some of your heat it's still kind of crappy cold here. I wonder when spring will come

[LeesaB]

and since I'm on a spree of chatting to myself.

kathy, Joe Buissinck is doing a seminar in Oregon, I'm trying to find out where, but if you could, you should go He's amazing

[Belmondo]

It's going to be as hot again today. You have time to make it if you get straight to the airport.

[LeesaB]

I hope to be there in July. Maybe I'll just come out to see you, instead of you coming in. I can bake outside and you and Lois can make fun of the crazy Ohioian! lOL

Elaine and I went for a long drive in the countryside (and in the rain) on Sunday. I have never seen it so green in all the years I have lived in No Virginia. We have a summer's worth of rain already. On the 10th of May we broke the record for rainfall in the month of May in our area...and look at us now on the 20th! But it sure beats 113 degrees hands down :)

I mentioned to Lois that we might be going to San Diego to meet a forum member, and she's all in favor of it. She loves San Diego, and she especially loves getting out of the heat whenever a reasonable excuse presents itself.

You, my dear, have become a reasonable excuse.:lol::lol:

I do miss the lush green of the east. It just doesn't exist out here. The mountains will 'green up' during the winter (read: rainy season), but it doesn't last, and by late spring, everything is pretty brown. It has its own beauty, but it takes some getting-used-to.

I've been called a few things, but that one is a first!
It will be great, and I hope you get to stay over night so we can spend more time talking.

As soon as my son gives me the dates I will let you know. Looks like he may make his move to San Diego, I think that is why I am invited to help him find a home! SO, you and Lois may get sick of me in a few months!

[LeesaB]

Okay, I'm off to the gym....be back in a few hours!

[SuzyView]

I can send a few buckets to anyone, Jim! It rained a ton here again! I heard my sump pump go off about every 3 minutes all night long. Thank heavens it works. I'm getting a back up battery for it this week, just in case the electricity is out. And the sink hole on Dale Blvd is still there, no one can get to it to fill it. The erosion was unexpected and too deep for a quick fix. Over 25K cars usually go on this road daily, so the other detour roads are filled all day long. Such a pain.

Here's a photo.

[SuzyView]

And I just saw Fish's promo on procedures for safely getting your stuff not stolen while going through the security at Dulles on GMA. Great story!

[Chris Dana]

I'll pick up a few buckets out of Lake Michigan for Tom, too.

(you know, if we actually had is address, it would be funny to send him small amounts of water from our travels...)

All water donations gratefully accepted.;)

Yeah, but you probably wouldn't see the humor in getting 100 1ml vials of water. :p

[Belmondo]

Yeah, but you probably wouldn't see the humor in getting 100 1ml vials of water. :p

I'm sure I'd be investigated by Homeland Security.:lol:

but it sure would liven up your day...

short gym day, a gentleman next to me on the treadmill collapsed. just could not continue on after that. they have a male nurse (he's HUGE) I was thankful he was there.

I was surprised at the amount of people who just keep going when something like that happens.

Yikes.

Hey Lisa. Since you're back from the gym early...be a dear and drive out to Maumee, pick up my camera from the UPS facility and drive it up here for me. I'd like it today. thanks!

[LeesaB]

I am not allowed to step into the "state up north" :p

[Chris Dana]

Lame excuse. Rules were meant to be broken. You could always just drive by UM and egg/moon/whatever on the way back. It'd be out of your way, but probably be worth it. :p

See, this does me no good. This is supposed to be done to make my life the easiest. It's all about me, me, me!!!!!

I've got a strong right arm, I can throw pretty good! LOL
when you getting it? tomorrow?

[Chris Dana]

Yeah, it should be here tomorrow. As long as I don't have to sign for it. If they require a signature, I'll have to pick it up on the way to work Thursday. I don't know what B&H's policy is on that. All but one of the packages I've ordered recently have not required a signature. We'll see.

[SuzyView]

Just ate the whole chicken pie from KFC. Ooo, that was good. It's also the most fattening fast food on the market! It's okay. I won't eat anything else for 3 days. :)

I'm working still on the notices. Just catching up here. Did everyone get their boxes yet? Any duck pictures, Chris?

[LeesaB]

I'm not sure either, I've gotten huge packages and no sig, but then a neck strap I have to sign for? maybe it is random? who knows.

Your gonna love it! I'm telling you, when you fit your hand around it, it's like "ahhhhh"

[Belmondo]

Ooooh!!!

I almost forgot....I'm in mourning.

Would you please be more specific as to just what you're wrapping your hand around, please? Someone coming in on the middle of this discussion might be confused.










(I don't want them to think we're talking about cold beers or something.):rolleyes:

Also, you might want to consider leaving out the sigh.:lol:

Think we better get out that "for mature audiences only" sign again!
That sigh, really happens, when you wrap your hands around that 40D grip (how's that) ;)

This conversation could go downhill very quickly.

Just got back from lunch and back to being a gene jockey. Whee.

Hold out your hand, you know you want to touch it (his 5d)...

I just hate that! They have torn down so many wonderful "old" things here. There have been some newer structures put up locally that I would love to see them torn back down!

[Kathy H]

I am ignoring all this hand wrapping around and touching talk.

BUT that was one of the first things I loved about the 40D...I just held it and smiled!
