General Wedding Chit Chat Thread... (Part 3)

[Belmondo]

Carry on.

[thekid24]

woohoo im firstest:D

[jamiewexler]

I always get involved with these things at the beginning, but can never keep up!

[LeesaB]

Wow, that link did not work for me, I almost had a panic attack, LOL

Ok..I'm third? 4th? UGH

[ofdphoto]

5th here.

[Belmondo]

WOO HOO just got Leopard ...

I'm installing it now. Chat with you guys in a bit!

I've installed it on three of my machines, and it seems to be pretty seamless. I really like Time machine.

The horrors of Vista are starting to fade, although I'm still having compatibility issues with some of my hardware (including an HP printer I bought within the last month.)

[LeesaB]

and we got our loveable mod back...

Awwwwww......

[ofdphoto]

Way cool..what kind of lens is that? Way cool.

It's the 8mm Peleng fisheye. Pretty cheap. Only available on eBay direct from Belarus AFAIK.

Optically: it's got sharpness going for it but it's not fabulous in other respects. But who cares? It's a special effect lens ;-)

You have to manual focus it and it's only f/3.5 right?

[Niraj]

:( i was trying to reply to an old cached window in PART 2 :(

> Linnie, whoa! totally cool photo... IWOOT :D

Archie, time to buy a new desk?

[ofdphoto]

Hehe ... I just noticed Jamie has ditched his simpsonizeme look too ;-) It seems a few of us thought they were getting a bit old ...

[Belmondo]

and we got our loveable mod back...

Awwwwww......UGH. ;);)

I never left.

[Niraj]

Wow, that link did not work for me, I almost had a panic attack, LOL

Ok..I'm third? 4th? UGH

LOL... link didn't work for me either... i had to actually try and find this post myself!!!

[ofdphoto]

Yep, it's 100% manual everything. And it's f/3.5 yes. But this wide I wouldn't care if it was f/8 wide open ;)

[arch1tect]

:( i was trying to reply to an old cached window in PART 2 :(

Not until I buy my house first...so 6 more months of crappy desk and then we'll move on to a nice one.

[sblais]

Hehe ... I just noticed Jamie has ditched his simpsonizeme look too ;-) It seems a few of us thought they were getting a bit old ...

Yeah... but did you see what he replaced it with... not much better!

:p

I could do some amazing stuff with that lens.

I never left.

The eye of big brothermondo was always looking down on us :eek: ;) :p

[ofdphoto]

Welcome back Jamie!!

Even if you do say so yourself ...

Excellent translation of what I said! ;)

LOL I just went to install Leopard and it said I don't have enough room. I guess 2 GB isn't enough eh? Damnit!

So I'm moving files off right now. I feel like a little kid on christmas morning. I've been anticipating this FOREVER!

[Belmondo]

Sorry, guys. The link has been repaired.

I should never undertake these sorts of projects before I've had my coffee in the morning.
:o:o

So I'm moving files off right now. I feel like a little kid on christmas morning. I've been anticipating this FOREVER!The real beauty of Leopard is you won't lose much time trying to figure out how things work. It's well worth the trouble.

[LeesaB]

new operating systems, new mac pro's. I'm almost ready to buy.

Someone said Best Buy sells apples too. interesting. I think I'd just rather buy from the apple store.

[SuzyView]

Only 25 minutes old and I'm on page 2. This is so fast moving!

Happy Halloween all!

I had one of those - really fun lens. And it was practically a "focus free" lens. At 8mm's I would set it at f4 (was a touch soft at 3.5), and use the hyperfocal symbol to set my focus, and presto - everything from a couple feet and beyond was in focus

Yeah... but did you see what he replaced it with... not much better!

:p

Hey...OK, not really a stretch there! I just wanted everyone to see what I looked like so I'm allowed into the clubhouse on Saturday.

Welcome back Jamie!!

Thanks! With a couple weeks off from weddings, and only one more until Dec 29th - I feel like I'm starting to come back up for air!

[SuzyView]

Okay, should I invest $3000 on the new MacBook Pro? Is it worth it? I know nothing about Apple products. And really, my 4 computers are getting stupider as we go. Yesterday my son typed the same thing 3 times because the computer kept telling him it had to do something to shut the program down. Oh, we were mad. I ended up using my 6 year old HP laptop and flash drive to the printer. Tell me I need to spend money on a new computer!

Suzy? 3k, I thought they were 2499?

I say if your gonna do it, do it BIG. It's an awesome machine, have you spent time in the apple store looking and it and using it? I think you should go that route first, let one of the guys talk you through it, Your gonna love it.

[gheesom]

Tell me I need to spend money on a new computer!
Spend your your money on a new computer! and if that really works, also buy me a nice big white lens ;)

[jamiewexler]

Life's short - buy the computer ...and whatever lens you've been jonesing!

[Toogy]

Life's short - buy the computer ...and whatever lens you've been jonesing!

Jamie!!! you have a knack for making me spend money don't you? That is like the best line of advice I've ever read right there!!! :D

[gheesom]

Does that mean you're about to spend some money then Jeff?

[Toogy]

Nope, not really, but it sure is awesome advice!! Although does a website count?

[gheesom]

money is as money does

[arch1tect]

Don't tase me, bro!!!

LOLOLOVE that video.

[gheesom]

what video?

[jamiewexler]

Jamie!!! you have a knack for making me spend money don't you? That is like the best line of advice I've ever read right there!!! :D

My special gift in life is spending other people's money!

[arch1tect]

what video?
The kid getting tasered for asking stupid questions to John Kerry.

[bcap]

Ohhhhh man .. !!!!!

SOOOOOOO AMAZING!!!

[gheesom]

I've not seen that

[ofdphoto]

I sometimes wonder how much less I would have spent had POTN not wandered into my life ...

Then I say "meh".

[notapro]

Sebbywebby - Sorry bout the avatar. I got sick of looking at it, and Tim had twice insinuated that it was an unpleasant experience for him as well.


Life's short - buy the computer ...and whatever lens you've been jonesing!

Life is long and bill collectors are many.

[gheesom]

Amanda, I keep thinking you're a new member with that new av, its your signature that reminds me otherwise.

Amanda, I keep thinking you're a new member with that new av, its your signature that reminds me otherwise.

hehe.. I haven't had any offers yet... see anything there you'd like to be the proud owner of? hehehehe

[gheesom]

I'm a guitar man, not a bassist I have 4 guitars but no basses - I think my wife would like to keep it that way ;)

[Niraj]

i'm back from lunch... actually I had other things i needed to do... apparently i have to actually do work here... what sort of job is that?!

[Toogy]

Where is this video you guys are talking about?

[notapro]

I'm a guitar man, not a bassist I have 4 guitars but no basses - I think my wife would like to keep it that way ;)

all right... I wish my husband thought the same way. He's a bass player, with 2 electric guitars, an acoustic guitar, a keyboard, a bunch of recording crap, and a drum kit that he bought "for me" but I suspect it was really for him. He does teach guitar, though, and he is a radio producer so most of the recording stuff gets used for that, too. It all just takes up so much space!

Oh I do own a piano and p.a. equiptment, stands etc, yeah it takes up a little bit of space

[JJacula]

Good morning peeps!!

He pretty much was harassing John Kerry.

[arch1tect]

How are you today Jen?

[jamiewexler]

I would have enjoyed it much more if the person behind the podium was tazered...

[SuzyView]

If the meet on Sat. goes as fast as this forum does, we'd be done by noon. :)

[Niraj]

The meet was last Saturday Suzie :) lol just kidding! ;)

[JJacula]

How are you today Jen?

I'm doing super, how you doing Archie?

[sblais]

Hey, Jennifer Dracula! Let me guess what costume you will be wearing for Halloween...

[JJacula]

Hey, Jennifer Dracula! Let me guess what costume you will be wearing for Halloween...

If you guessed my official uniform of pajamas, you'd be right! Ding ding ding ding!

[arch1tect]

I'm doing super, how you doing Archie?
i'm busy today but at least my day is cruising.

[JJacula]

Busy is good, beats slow!

My dad is coming to visit today! I am very excited. He's retired now (at age 51) so he has some free time, so he left mom at home and he's coming to play with the baby. They live about 6 hours away so we don't get to see them much.

[GertS]

I've installed it on three of my machines, and it seems to be pretty seamless. I really like Time machine.

The horrors of Vista are starting to fade, although I'm still having compatibility issues with some of my hardware (including an HP printer I bought within the last month.)

Hello belmondo,
Time machine (TM) looks really great, but there is at the moment a problem with TM and Aperture as the database may be damaged while open and TM is backing it up. I can't remember which forum I found it but Apple is searching a solution at the moment.
Yesterday I ordered my iMac 24" with 1 GB, the 4 GB are bought for a less than a 7th what Apple wants for the upgrade to 4 GB. Ouch.
I talked with Adobe, no problem transferring licenses from Win to Mac. :)

[gheesom]

1 trick or treat caller tonight, I don't know how I'm going to eat of this yummy stuff!

[arch1tect]

on the Opie and Anthony show the guy was up to 55pcs of chocolate. He just kept puking it up and eating more.

[JJacula]

Ewww, gross, thanks for sharing that Archie.

[Niraj]

same, well we've had 3 trick'or'treaters, and they didn't really make much effort! a mask from last years christmas cracker, black clothes, and a cape.... where is the spirit?!?!

ahh well, more choccies for me :D

[LeesaB]

It starts here in about 1.5 hours..

[JJacula]

We haven't had any trick or treaters in five years ... but I always have candy just in case. Also, it's delicious. :)

[bcap]

Gooooooooooood afternoon folks!

[Cujo_34]

Wow I sleep in and all chaos breaks out. New threads, old threads, speedy threads. Almost makes me want to go back to sleep but work is calling shortly.

[Niraj]

hiya Cujo... :) had a nice sleep?

Jenn, what chocs did you get? I dont like the ones we have left over :(

Hiya Lees, is it dark there yet? As soon as the sunset, the kids were out all about town... could see them on each street as i drove home... kids here are so naughty, i was scared my car would get egged :(

[Cujo_34]

hiya Cujo... :) had a nice sleep?




Yeah not bad, slept a lot longer than usual from coming off night shift but it's a rainy/stormy day here so I didn't mind. One more tonight to make it through.

[JJacula]

Jenn, what chocs did you get? I dont like the ones we have left over :(

Some kind of mixed box ... smarties, kit kats, coffee crisps and some others ...

[Niraj]

what exactly do you do?

[Niraj]

Guess you don't have a Lexus...

I think they're good considering it's missing a car.

[Niraj]

LOL... Archie, which do you think i should submit?

The rules didn't specify whether the car should be present or not... so i thought outside the box, and used just the chrome logo badge :)

[arch1tect]

I like #2 then #5, but if you had a car in them...

[Niraj]

I'll post up pics of the car later :D

I was swaying between those very two images :) 2 or 5.... hmmmm.... need more opinions guys, where's the gang??? :D

[sblais]

[kja]

Morning all :)


All the new toys are safely accounted for at my bud's house...only 14 more days!!

[Niraj]

number 2 is looking hot fave...

Morning Kristin :)

[SuzyView]

My next car is going to be a Lexus, :)

Anyone want some pumpkin chocolate chip cookies with raisins? I made a double batch. They are for parents who bring their kids around.

[kja]

AAaarrrrgghhh - no raisins in perfectly good chocolate chip cookies :(

Hey, Suzie - when did you find time to make cookies!!

Howdy, ninja-poo (I see Seb got to you early!)

[Niraj]

My next car is going to be a Lexus, :)

oh man! double choc chip AND raisins! i wish i lived closer to you guys!

i'm feeling incredibly hungry for chocolate.

[SuzyView]

In between coming home to have lunch and shooting the costume parade at the elementary school. I took 350 pictures in bright sunshine, but it was around 70 degrees, just perfect. I picked the kids up at the school since I was there, drove them to their piano lessons, drove home to check on the batter, played on here, got the candy ready, picked up the kids, baked the cookies while we got the house clean and here I am. But dinner is hot dogs in a bag. :)

[Niraj]

okay i want hot dogs too....

[Niraj]

nyt nyt everyone... hopefully by the morning everyone will have helped me decide which photo i should enter from page 6, pweeeeese :)

thanks guys & gals :D

[jamiewexler]

Trick or Treat!

[MDJAK]

Life's short - buy the computer ...and whatever lens you've been jonesing!

My philosophy exactly.

I've said it before, after 9/11, the New York Times ran short biographical sketches of the victims. I was glued to them and read them every day they came out. There's one that will always stand out to me.

A man in his mid 40's, an investment banker, very successful, told his wife (his wife recounted this story to the Times) that he wanted to buy them a boat. Her response was, even though they could well afford it, that maybe it wasn't a good time financially to do so, and he heeded her advice and didn't get the boat. Well, 9/11 came and he died. He never did get the boat, his wife said.

That will not happen to me. I live for today. My retirement is well secured. And I will also do my darndest to spend my kids' inheritance too. :)

[Kathy H]

Cute Jamie! And just when I was going to post something not so cute! lol

[LeesaB]

Hiya Mark, Jared and Nijapuppet

[gheesom]

I just had £30k in my hands, really not as much as you'd think!

[LeesaB]

Just had? where did it go?

[gheesom]

I had to pay it into the bank....doh! all the stuff I could buy was going through my head - shame its not mine....damn work money teasing me so ;)

[LeesaB]

yeah I hear ya...I know the story...

My "wish" list is right here, as soon as I get something I end up adding 2 more things I want to it. It will never go away, it will be the perpetual list

[thekid24]

not sure which version

[Niraj]

I just had £30k in my hands, really not as much as you'd think!

i think £30k is about £29,995 more that i have :) am i right?

[Niraj]

not sure which version

where's the placement? is it a poster? business card? flyer? newspaper ad?

[thekid24]

card

[ofdphoto]

I don't dig the different fonts heights at all.

Background is cool, very "you". I would use font size rather than height to differentiate, and increase the gap above "portraits" and below "children" (ie. move the list closer together).

Otherwise, it's great!

[ofdphoto]

Oh, and I would totally get a domain name, even if it just redirects to your flickr page.

[thekid24]

Oh, and I would totally get a domain name, even if it just redirects to your flickr page.
yeah i know i need to. Getting there, this is more mockup.

The conventional card (horizontal) becomes cluttered when all the info is on there.

Thus why Im going vertically.

I like the simple look, but then its almost...too simple.:p

The background was actually a early morning tour of my dresser droors. Found some family photos and came across the negatives. Found one slide that was completely blank.

Scanned it, added some textures and blended it...BOOM....made it "me"

nothing wrong with vertical :) i've seen some great examples of vertical business cards.

have you a logo design that would identify your card easily as different from a piece of paper with writing on it?

the idea is good, it has the services listed clearly, which is great... but i'm not sure if it's a "keeper"... some business cards go to the back of a card wallet, or card book... and never get looked at again...

ps: you need a domain, but while you're here i checked out your work and WOW, it's fantastic... love the way each image has a title :D

I did have a logo, but Im not into them as much anymore.

To me logos are played out, I can put a logo on a snapshot, doesnt make it a great photo. Just makes it a snapshot with a logo on it. Id rather be recognized by my photos not my logo. Then again who knows.

i dont think the logo is something that everyone has... well actually maybe everyone does have it, but it's the good ones that stand out from the crowd... one that is easily recognisable, something that shows a bit of creative skill, an artistic flare... i didn't pay a designer to make my logo, i spent a couple hours infront of PS and a few free fonts... i have it on my business card, and use it to watermark my work...

one thing i have noticed though, is when i do hand out my card to clients, they do mutter or mention at times things like "love the logo!" or "nice logo!"... just an added feature to make the business card unique... :) IMO

Saying that however, your work really is good, and i'm sure they are already recognised as your work... do you have a specific trademark shot you use for events? (for example, John Woo, uses a slow motion flying Dove, in all of his movies IIRC)

True, but that can also be said for the photography itself. And that is where I differ from those around here (where I live). Im more artistic in my photography, although I can also take the conventional 'pretty picture'. As far as trademark, cant say its one yet since Ive just really hit my stride with my style, but if I had to claim one...it would be crows. Yet incorporate them in beautiful photos, dismiss the notion that crows have to be 'dark', 'scary', 'death', etc etc.

There is a poem I found some time back that goes...

One crow for sorrow
Two crows for joy
Three crows for a girl
Four for a boy
Five crows for silver
Six crows for gold
seven crows for a secret never to be told.
