2007 Albany, NY Wedding Forum Meet - Photos

[SuzyView]

Tom, it's because you wake up 3 hours after we do. We've been up for hours. :)

[MrsOpie]

wow I really missed out. Man I need to master off camera flash.

[SuzyView]

And that reminds me, we still need to make that list of gear. Hmmm. I have to get my wishlist going at B&H today. :) Boy, POTN really makes a deep dent in my wallet.

[Kai]

When will we see any video on You tube? LOL.

Suzy you are so right. POTN puts a dent in my wallet too.

I love these pictures of Lloyd posing on the floor. Did he drink too much or is he just crazy and fun?

[thebrewer]

During the day the video cam was never set up. The tripod made it up but the camera didn't.

He's just insane...completely insane.

I believe it was setup Rich, just no one thought to turn it on.

[sblais]

No one knew how to turn it on :p We're photographer...

A video camera... duh, how does that work??

[jessiper]

I believe it was setup Rich, just no one thought to turn it on.

Yeah, and we didn't really spend much time in that room, anyway.

[arch1tect]

A video camera... duh, how does that work??

it would've just filmed the empty table anyways.

[sblais]

Nor even sit next to each other during meals, right? lol

We only do that because it's easier for us to engage in discussions with OTHER people than each other :p When I have friends over for a meal or an evening, we often ask couples to not sit next to each other. I find it really helps with the mood and the discussion!

[picturecrazy]

i can't take credit for this one, as one of you guys put the 10-22 on my 5D and shot this, which I thank you since I'm in the picture. :) So, here is the room when we first opened the door. We are all trying to connect to the internet and most could not.

Edit: Was that you, Lloyd?

Hey guys! I had such a fun time! Thanks so much to EVERYONE! Can't wait for the next time!

And yes, the above picture was from me. I put my 10-22 on suzy's 5D just because I wanted to see what it looked like. I converted my 10-22 to EF just so I can use it on my Mark III

I'll post more pics after I actually download them from my card!

[DigiRebelXTI]

Holy Cow...i missed a lot...I wish i could have stayed the night and hung out...:(

here are some of mine, i posted these in the other thread:

I'll post the others when i have time...

Can you convert the 17-55 to EF to go on the 5D? If so, link to place to buy this pleaze? Thanks man!

[JJacula]

Yeah, maybe in Portland this time??? lol I flew over 6 hours today (in a middle seat, too)!!

I might even be up for Portland ... I LOVE Portland. Although if it was in Seattle, my husband would come too. If there was a Seahawks game on at the time. LOL

What time did you wind up getting home Lloyd? Did the hotel let you stay late as well???

I tried that. 17-55 is useless on 5D. You get the black tunnel look at all focal lengths. Totally not worth it.

What time did you wind up getting home Lloyd? Did the hotel let you stay late as well???

I got home just before midnight my time, so around 2AM your time. Man I was beat. The hotel let me check out at 2PM though, so that was nice. I took a nap.

Did you actually make it to work?

[picturecrazy]

Did you actually make it to work?

that's where I'm at now haha

[arch1tect]

BTW...Kristen said you're all welcome and she's happy you liked the cookies.

[arch1tect]

that's where I'm at now haha
I had such a hard time waking up today it was incredible...on top of that I'm developing a sinus infection. I'll probably wind up playing hookey tomorrow and just relaxing at home and getting caught up on some other stuff.

FYI....there are direct flights from Edmonton to Newark, NJ and JFK, NY. So if we ever meet out here I'll gladly pick you up at those airports.


Connection flights suck big time.

[rebelslgb]

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for letting me tag along! I had a really great time, and i'm loving all the pictures.

I'm glad you all liked my cookies!

Hopefully Michael and I can make it to the next meet (that's not at our honeymoon ;))

Kristen

[bcap]

Hey Kristin!

It was awesome to meet you and have you hang out with us!

Lloyd - what's happening man? Wondering if I could grab the link for those business cards? Was it metalcards.com?

[DigiRebelXTI]

Bryan your shots are fantatic!

Thanks for the Cookies Kristen! and thanks for letting me bum a night in your room Mikey! :D

Here are some more of mine:

OOOOOHHHHH.... why not? It would be just a great, I promise!

Nice meeting you Kristen! And your cookies ;)

[bcap]

Great work Brian! I hope you pop in and around the forums more often now :)

[DigiRebelXTI]

Great work Brian! I hope you pop in and around the forums more often now :)

I will definitely be doing that...its already set as my homepage! ;)

Would you be able to refresh my memory on how to save actions for exporting in LR? My memory is awful...:cry:

[Tommy]

Wow!! It looks like you guys had a great time! I wish I would have known about it, I would have definitely gone! Whens the next one??

[bcap]

I will definitely be doing that...its already set as my homepage! ;)

Would you be able to refresh my memory on how to save actions for exporting in LR? My memory is awful...:cry:

It's a curse I tell yeah!

My memory is horrible too, so I can relate! LOL

In photoshop, go to File > Automate > Create Droplet and then save that to your desktop.

In Lightroom, in the export window, click on "After Export" and then "Go to the Export Actions folder now" and then drag that droplet you just created into that folder.

Sha-bang, that's it!

Easy as 1-2-3!

Don't apologize man, we wanna see MORE! Nice shot though. Gotta love off-camera flash :)

[bcap]

Oh, and BTW, happy 7,000 to me :)

[picturecrazy]

Awesome Brian! Way to kick up that off camera flash!!!

[DigiRebelXTI]

Awesome Brian! Way to kick up that off camera flash!!!

Thanks Lloyd!! It really is all thanks to you!! http://smiliesftw.com/x/D_thumb.gif



Hey Bryan, when i try to save it, it tells me this:

What exactly do i have to do, i am lost in translation here...

http://optics.functionalparalysis.com/albums/userpics/Picture_1%7E2.png

[arch1tect]

Lloyd those SB24's went up in price. :( they're like $85.00 a pop now, it's all your fault that my gear request list has increased.

[bcap]

Brian - I have all my actions doing a save right in the action, if you don't, you need to specify in the "Create Droplet" dialog box where/what to save it.

The reason I do it all in my action is because I do a Save For Web, overtop the original.

For example, in Lightroom, I'll edit a picture, export it to my Desktop as a JPG max height/width 400px, in a folder named with today's date. It will open that photo up in Photoshop, run my signature action then do a Save For Web over that JPG in the folder on the desktop. Bam that's it.

See if that fixes it.

Giving it a try right now! :)

[SuzyView]

Kristen, I had 2 cookies, which is just too many, but they were yummy. And please, come again and maybe we'll get a camera around your neck so you can hit Mike on the head when he's mean to you. :)

Love you, Mike. :)

Brian, it was great meeting you. When I go to Brooklyn to visit my mother, I'll have to call you. I love the city and would really like to have a meet there sometime. People have strong opinions about NYC, unfortunately, but for a meet next October, I think we should just plan one anyway. Mark is up for it as well.

Lloyd, you were all over the place, but I learned so much from you. Thank you and Edmonton sounds wonderful. I don't mind putting it on the list. My brother-in-law in Albany says Jasper (sp.) is amazing. We may have to do something there.

Cant wait for the next meet!

[SuzyView]

Mark said he'd help me if we plan a meet around the PhotoPlus next October. I think we should do a Thursday to Sat. evening as B&H is closed Friday night to Saturday. I already have some ideas for it. Will keep in touch, Brian.

[DigiRebelXTI]

Guess you got your router fixed, Brian. ;p

NICE WORK!!!

You can also try this method:

if you have a photobucket account (or any other photo hosting site account: shutterfly, etc.) you can upload the files to that site, organize them by folder, date or however you want.

Once they are uploaded, click on an image you would like to post on the forum.

-> right click the full image
-> copy image address (it may say something different for PCs: copy image URL)
-> go to the forum and click the "Quick Reply" or "Post Reply"
-> you will see a mountain icon (like this: http://optics.functionalparalysis.com/albums/userpics/Picture_1%7E3.png )
-> click on it. then right click and click paste the link you copied from the picture.
-> press enter and then post your reply.

Give it a try!

Right click this image and try reposting it!

Kathy wants me to take her backside picture off. Who votes to do that?

I would not have my backside showing. I would take it off if that is what she wants, which you probably already have.

I think the next meet should be in Kansas. We are in the middle.;)

[Kai]

BTW, who took the minutes. :lol:

[SuzyView]

Congrats, Rob. You are amazing! I enjoyed working with you and doing all that running around. Thanks.

[SuzyView]

Great ones, Lloyd. That's more how much gear we had lying around. It was really great when we all got ready to shoot. It was like secret agents getting their armor and guns ready. No one talked, we all concentrated on what we were putting on our bodies and how we were going to hold everything. I wanted to take a picture of that, but found myself rushing to keep up. :)

[picturecrazy]

And here are a couple shots of the models.

I didn't think I had anything because I literally have like 9 shots total of all 3 models...

http://www.nightanddayphoto.ca/misc/forumpics/POTN/Albany07/20071103_5631.jpg

And here are two shots from the parking lot. The purpose of this exercise was to use off camera lighting to get a half decent shot even in the ugliest places. I figured the parking lot with all the cars and the big red Desmond Hotel shuttle bus was the ugliest part of the grounds...

I don't have many model pics, either! Most of them have Jamie's, Bryan's, or Sebastian's head or camera in them! LOL

That parking lot shot is a great lesson!

Hey Lloyd, mind sharing the PP for that last one you posted? Was the CP done in Lightroom or PS?

hahaha, yeah, my little slits for eyes...

Lloyd is very secretive about his PP, you know this.

What? I am? I didn't know that! I thought I always shared. It's just that there isn't much I do to the files so there isn't much to say.

Hey Lloyd, mind sharing the PP for that last one you posted? Was the CP done in Lightroom or PS?

PS they're all awesome Lloyd! Specially those last 3!


thanks dood! I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the last 3 because I honestly didn't think I had anything. Most of my shots were just light testing.

anyhow, the cross processing was done in CS2. I know there are cross process presets for lightroom; but I just don't have any of them. I would much prefer to do it all in Lightroom, so if you have an awesome CP preset I'd love to know!

The three pics used ShowitEffects' CP actions. 1 and 3 used "cross process", and 2 used "Punched" which to me is like a warm yellow (rather than the usual cold and blue) cross process. those are the only two effects I use in showiteffects.

[Belmondo]

Thanks Suzy - that was not flattering at all!
Depends on who you ask.;)

[SuzyView]

Kathy is plain adorable. So, I don't think there is bad view. :)

Mickey, let's get together sometime here. I'm thinking we need to get together for lunch or dinner sometime. Jon's gone for 3 weeks, Jim's really busy, but I think we are all planning on the Sat. after Thanksgiving.

Thanks, but unfortunately I didn't take it. It was taken either by Sebastien or Karine with my camera while we were having lunch.

Well, I did PP it though. :)

[thebrewer]

Seems to be a few mystery shots on our cameras.

[MDJAK]

On second thought, it was taken by Jessica. Sorry for the wrong attribution.

That was with the 85L MKII.

[bcap]

Mark, would you be able to e-mail me the full-res shot of that? Chris'll love it!

Is that a plane outside... yeah, I think it's a plane! Do you have planes in NJ?

Thanks! I couldn't even see through the viewfinder very well because I'm totally blind, and he had it set for people with better eyesight! lol

She wasn't up for my idea of trading my homemade bounce card for her 70-200IS. maybe next time.

Not yet. Sometimes the servers are 5-10 mins behind though. I'll keep checking :) Thanks!

[wizard13]

Great thread. Looks like you guys had a blast. And learning a ton while having fun. This thread has also been informative by the 'shots of the shooters' pics. Thanks for sharing!

[MDJAK]

I attached it right to the email, and I believe it is like a 10mb file. I don't know how to zip things. If you want me to do that, please provide step by step instructions that a dope like me can maybe follow. :)

Has anybody posted some of the wildlife shots from the lodge yet?

Yeah, just attaching 1 file is fine. Zipping it won't do anything, so we should be good. Because of it's size, it may take a while to send. I'll keep you updated!

LOL I know Seb has some of those!

Hummmmm!

That sounds like me talking!

Glad I'm not the lone Dope in here!

[SuzyView]

Rich, you need one of those 70-200 2.8 IS. Almost every pro, at least, had one. It is my second most used lens during events season. Sometimes, it's the only lens I take on my 5D or 20D because I know I'll be far away from the action. For weddings, it's almost a must these days. But it's a great picture, Mark. I am going to send a copy to my sons. :) Thanks.

[thebrewer]

I know I should upgrade to the IS, but my Sigma 70-200 has been so good to me. Perhaps when the next round of deals at B&H. I am pretty well covered with my current gear list....but I do like the IS.

Can I tell my wife you said i need to get one?

[picturecrazy]

Hey, I wanna see the 10fps pics of jamie running with Kathy's scarf!!

LOL aweosme Lloyd!

[Niraj]

i have this sudden urge for a large slice of pizza....

[gheesom]

I had great Pizza in Toronto, a little place on the on Younge Street just of the corner with Carlton Street. the size of it as well....big pizza.
Although I did love to eat at Frans

[Niraj]

i remember the first time i had pizza in america... it was in Florida... in a small "italian" shop... we ordered an X-Large (being British, we thought it'd be enough for 2 people)... the box seemed rather large for what we were expecting till we opened it! 18" wide, and 1" deep, filled to the brim with toppings! unforgettable :)

[Niraj]

[bcap]

Kathy, a toilet phone is what I need in my tiny bathroom here at home ;). Thanks for modeling it.
