[Kathy H]

I'm watching 'beauty shop' on lifetime

[Belmondo]

I love the way you two travel...



It will actually be the three of us. We're taking the truck so Dollie can come along. We just don't have the heart to board her at the kennel. She really doesn't do that well.

[Kathy H]

how fun kathy!

IT IS! I love to learn new stuff!:D

[Kathy H]

Is Dollie your kitty?

[Stephie]

here is my go at texture. Just used one of the patterns in photoshop, and an image from recital. Not the best technical image. Its my sister.

[Kathy H]

That's great Stephanie! Cool shot and your texture looks GOOD!

[Kathy H]

BTW Stephanie your last wedding shots were great! You are doing an excellent job, great ideas and inspiration for us all. I'll be checking out the trees at my next wedding.

[kja]

Kathy - love it! :)

Well, web site errors fixed, so step one done. Only took three of us LOL

[kja]

Funky on the textures, Steph - looks like a pool or something.

[Kathy H]

Thanks Kristin! I feel like a kid with a new toy. I'm looking through images and finding some to play with.:D

Glad you got your web issues solved, what a PITA!

[kja]

I need to scroll back and find Jared's directions and save them, I think...does anyone remember where they were?

[Stephie]

BTW Stephanie your last wedding shots were great! You are doing an excellent job, great ideas and inspiration for us all. I'll be checking out the trees at my next wedding.


Thanks so much Kathy. I appreciate the feedback.

And I cant take credit for the tree...all the bride's idea

[JimAskew]

Some people hate my voicemail.

It will be me saying, "Hello? Who is this? I cant hear you......and thats why you should leave a message and Ill get back to you as soon as I can." Im chuckling at the end of it too, I have had a many message with them starting out with..."you lil sh*t/a$$/b@$tard etc etc.lol." ...

Mine says "Hi, we are not able to come to the phone right so please leave a message and we will get back to you. Unless, of course, you are a salesperson in which case just hang up and leave us the hell alone!"

[Belmondo]

...... what does a Eucalypis tree look like? I love that smell...They are very ugly, especially when laying on their side or draped over the roof of a car or house.;)

[Kathy H]

Mine says "Hi, we are not able to come to the phone right so please leave a message and we will get back to you. Unless, of course, you are a salesperson in which just hang up and leave us the hell alone!"

That's a grand idea! Funny too:lol:

[Kathy H]

One more texture. With this one I learned that I don't think textures work all that well on solid backgrounds.

[Stephie]

i like it kathy. Looks kinda new ageish

[kja]

maybe use the texture from the petal as the bg? and the bg nice and light or something?

I don't know LOL I'm still a bit brain fried here.

[Kathy H]

Thanks Stephanie. I'm having fun experimenting:D

Now I have to go pay bills, UGH! My least favorite thing to do, it ranks right up there with my real job right now:p BUT only 4.5 more days and I'm outta there for summer break!

I'll be back later, if I miss you easterners, Good night.

[Stephie]

That is what my dh is doing on the laptop.
I might still be around when you get back. I'm a night owl.

[Stephie]

Anyone know any good movies out in the theater right now? ITs me and hubby's 7 year anniversery on Monday, and we are going out to dinner and a movie w/o the kiddos!

(and yes, I got married at 18--and no, I wasn't knocked up)

[Kathy H]

I don't know LOL I'm still a bit brain fried here.

Hummmm, you know, I was thinking when I was doing it that the texture looked cool on the flower petals. Maybe I should have textured it and left the background alone.

I got married at 19. That was 46 years ago, and we're still deciding whether or not to have children.

Opinions?

[kja]

Well, happy anniversary!!

Sorry, I don't know any movies that are out - we have no theatre here :)

[Kathy H]

Alright where's Leesa. I might have a wedding for her to do in St. Louis next summer.:D

[kja]

That was 46 years ago, and we're still deciding whether or not to have children.

Opinions?

Hehee - this was a quick decision for us! We went the puppy and kitty route instead :D

(more or less, he has two from an earlier marriage)

[LeesaB]

It will actually be the three of us. We're taking the truck so Dollie can come along. We just don't have the heart to board her at the kennel. She really doesn't do that well.

Hope you have a pleasant trip and ENJOY and RELAX too!

I was watching a movie with my son. Shooter with Mark Wahlberg..>GOOD MOVIE

[kja]

OK, how do I miss so much? Tom - where are you going? What kind of pup is Dollie?

[Stephie]

I've been cleaing off my desktop. The virtural one. It's been a mess. I've got a file on my ehd called "to burn"

I wish my husband had time to figure out why our dvd burner isn't working on the desktop. I'll just burn them all on the laptop. It just takes FOREVER.

I'm hoping a new desktop is in the future....

[Belmondo]

OK, how do I miss so much? Tom - where are you going? What kind of pup is Dollie?

We're driving up the the San Francisco Bay Area on Saturday, then over to Reno, Nevada, for a couple days.

Dollie is our obese Siamese cat.

[Kathy H]

OOO finally got to this...YES, really!!!!!

Yes, I talked to Amy tonight and she doesn't think the bride has a photographer yet, so I told her about you and gave her your website to show her friend. I said you would be fun and do great pictures.:D I will get more info after Amy talks to her. Keeping fingers crossed! this would be so cool!

[Belmondo]

That would be fantastic, my first wedding in Mo! LOL

We may have found a home, in Troy, Mo. I am waiting to see pics, it's off the main road, on a gravel road, I can't tell you how GREAT that sounds!

Oh and my oldest son says "they have a Sonic" So I guess he's moving with us LOL

Oh if it's meant to be on I'm there

:-)

I Twitter also

[kja]

I am on face book - Kristin Anderson :)

Tom - sorry for confusing your cat with a dog! LOL I can't imagine our cats on a roadtrip - they aren't that excited about the car really.

I can't wait to get to San Francisco - only 21 more sleeps, I think!!

You're going to be in San Francisco in a couple weeks?

[Stephie]

I added you all as friends
now go add me.

lol

[kja]

I land in SF on the 28th and spend until the 2nd July there :)

Back in SF again on the 27th July for another few days, too.

[LeesaB]

Just added you Stephanie!!!

[Stephie]

Just added you Stephanie!!!
yay!

[Belmondo]

I land in SF on the 28th and spend until the 2nd July there :)

Back in SF again on the 27th July for another few days, too.You never know. We're up there a couple times a month, and out trips could overlap. In fact, we frequently travel north in early July, and again in early August. We actually have reservations for David Bromberg in Reno on August 2. We will probably go through the Bay Area on our way there (or home).

[LeesaB]

Ok, our new home is going to need some work, windows, an addition (an office for me) master bedroom suite wow....

Hmmm....it's a mess right now. but it's a ranch I wanted a ranch, full finished basement can anyone say STUDIO? LOL

[Belmondo]

[kja]

Tom - that would be fun to meet up! As we get closer we'll have to see if any of our dates match.

[LeesaB]

GM does not fool around. One guy had his house deal signed before he ever came down, I have NO idea how he could do that.

My Husband has been out every day looking at houses...this is the first we liked,....

we wanted one we could add on and fix up and make it the way we wanted it, we got it and land. and city water(that is way cool)

We've not bought it yet, but we think it is the one we will go for

[kja]

Wow, that's so fast and fantastic on the house Lisa! We want photos!

[Stephie]

i don't guess they do!

[LeesaB]

I'm waiting on them myself

I may have to take them when I get there....We will see he's going to look at a few more tomorrow

[kja]

That's so cool, though. Are you getting a little excited in the mix of other emotions?

[LeesaB]

Well a good friend of mine called me this morning and said he had a great idea....

this was scary LOL...but he told me how me and my daughter can meet 4 hours in each way for us, like road trip, not too long and yet see each other more. We both loved that idea and figure we can do that at least 2 times a month,

Plus keeping the business in Ohio and grow it in St.Louis I'll be back a lot, just have to book more weddings!

So we will see...I'll cry a lot I am sure, it's the only thing I care about leaving are her and Ami.

[LeesaB]

Okay, I'm going to bed now,I am beat

Night everyone....

[Belmondo]

Me. It makes it so much easier to ship if you ever sell something.

[thekid24]

I got married at 19. That was 46 years ago, and we're still deciding whether or not to have children.

Opinions?
GO FOR IT!!!!

[Kathy H]

[Belmondo]

Forgot how.

[Kathy H]

JARED
Thank you so much for the tutorials! That texturing is so much fun!:D

[thekid24]

Textures look good Lisa, Steph, and Kathy....I really liked coming back and seeing you all give it a try, now the next step is to see you evolve with it as a photographer/artist.

[Kathy H]

Forgot how.
Does Jared need to post a tutorial?:lol:

[thekid24]

Forgot how.
Well first it starts off by taking balloons out of your pocket....make sure it doesnt get in a knot

[thekid24]

JARED
Thank you so much for the tutorials! That texturing is so much fun!:D
Youre welcome.:D
Does Jared need to post a tutorial?:lol:
LOL take it easy....

[Stephie]

and with that note...

i'mheaded to bed! talkto everyone tomorrow.

[Belmondo]

and with that note...

i'mheaded to bed! talkto everyone tomorrow.Good night, Stephanie. Go Razorbacks!!


Ooops. Wrong time of year.

[Kathy H]

Good night Steph, I'm headed that way soon myself.

Jared I am taking my camera to work with me tomorrow, I have some ideas for textures at my school, it's an old building and has some pretty cool woodwork on it. There are just so many things going thru my mind with this now, can't wait to try them!:D

[thekid24]

Exactly! Now welcome to my world....lol...I have ideas pop into my head at all times of the night...last few nights Ive been up till 5 sketching them out or writting them down...not like i have tons...but a couple pages worth

[kja]

Hmmm, glad I'm not the only one who does, but I am being over-run in the office. Think I might have to sacrifice some...

[Kathy H]

I'm off to bed, I am photographing a graduation class tomorrow morning. These are always a pain because there are so many kids. Group shots of 200+ teenagers sitting in the Stadium bleachers is not what I really think of as photography fun. Then I do individuals of each student in their cap & gown, wow now thats not monotonous:p

Good night all.

[kja]

hehe - just think of the money :)

Nite!

[thekid24]

I keep all mind because one day I saw this post of a table with SO MANY boxes on it I thought "one day that will be my table and my boxes" ;):D

[LeesaB]

Does Jared need to post a tutorial?:lol:

HA!!!!!

[LeesaB]

Good Morning everyone,

Going to be HOT HOT HOT here today. I got up early to open up the house! I HATE air conditioning!

[Chris Dana]

Morning.

I hate AC as well, but I made a deal with my wife. If the temp goes above 85, we turn the AC on. With her being pregnant as well, that makes things a little different this summer.

My strawberries are starting to turn, so that's good. I should have a pretty good crop of them this year.

[Chris Dana]

I got married at 19. That was 46 years ago, and we're still deciding whether or not to have children.

My kids have hated me every summer, we have a whole house fan and I LOVE it. I don't turn on the air and as soon as I leave they turn it on. I turn it off as soon as I come home LOL.

[SuzyView]

We have our air on already today as it is 95 with heat index later. Tomorrow 110 with index, 96 in the shade. I'm already wilting.

[Chris Dana]

My kids have hated me every summer, we have a whole house fan and I LOVE it. I don't turn on the air and as soon as I leave they turn it on. I turn it off as soon as I come home LOL.

If we had a whole house fan, I'd be doing that.

[Stephie]

Good night, Stephanie. Go Razorbacks!!

that's NEVER the wrong time of year

I was pregnant last summer...due in august had her in July.I was hot all summmer and lived off of those ice pops. Let her turn the air on when ever she wants! LOL.

[Chris Dana]

Oh I'll let her turn it on and as far down as she wants to.

[JimAskew]

How many of you keep all of your boxes?

I have a Canon "wall" in my study on the top shelf of my floor to ceiling bookcase...I have every box from every purchase...I think it looks impressive...my wife just shakes her head ;)

A/C is much preferable to a crabby wife...especially a crabby & pregnant wife :) Bring on the A/C...we turned ours on last week!

[Belmondo]

I keep all mind because one day I saw this post of a table with SO MANY boxes on it I thought "one day that will be my table and my boxes" ;):D

It was probably one like this (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showpost.php?p=970338&postcount=322).

[Stephie]

wow tom

[Stephie]

I was just sitting here trying to decided on what lens i want next.

[Belmondo]

wow tom

That's actually an old picture. The 500 f/4 is gone, but replaced with a 600 f/4 (slightly bigger box). A few of the others are different, but overall, that's pretty much what things look like right now.

The lens without a box is my 85 f/1.2L which I bought used, and the body is my old 1D Mk II. I used the box to send my even older 1D to the buyer in Canada.

[Stephie]

I was just sitting here trying to decided on what lens i want next.

I'm thinking the 85mm 1.8

Are you liking yours chris?

[LeesaB]

It was probably one like this (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showpost.php?p=970338&postcount=322).

lHA!! THAT"S IT@@@@@

How about I saw that posted on another thread and laughed like crazy because I knew who it belonged too!

[Belmondo]

I'm thinking the 85mm 1.8

Are you liking yours chris?I've heard only good things about that lens. I don't know how it is on crop bodies, but on a full-frame camera, it's a great portrait lens.

[Belmondo]

lHA!! THAT"S IT@@@@@

How about I saw that posted on another thread and laughed like crazy because I knew who it belonged too!

Looking back, I'm a little embarrassed I posted that back then. I wonder who I was trying to impress.

[thekid24]

all the newbies who had two boxes....lol.

[LeesaB]

I bet no one, or trying to squash someone who was!

[LeesaB]

all the newbies who had two boxes....lol.

I have to take my boxes with me lol, Jim is gonna love that, plus he has to dig them out where I put them

[Chris Dana]

I'm thinking the 85mm 1.8

Are you liking yours chris?

It's a great lens. I haven't had the chance to do much with it yet (this weekend will be a test for it). It did, however, do this (note, these were not wide open):

Stephanie,

My standard wedding pair is the 17-55MM f/2.8 EF-S IS on the 30D and 85MM f/1.8 EF on the dRebel XT. I have shot over a dozen weddings with this combo. I absolutely love the 85MM f/1.8...it makes tack sharp portraits and pull back a bit...group shots as well.

I have a wedding on the 20th & 21st of June in Cumberland, MD...I am adding the 5D and the 24-105 f/4 EF L to this mix :)

[LeesaB]

Beautiful shots Chris.

I so need another back up camera and lens! UGH

[JimAskew]

I so need another back up camera and lens! UGH

Lisa,

You have 2 x 40D already...all you need is a couple of fast primes to complement your excellent zooms :)

[LeesaB]

well, when I move my assitant will keep the other 40D with her and I will come back to shoot weddings with her. SO, while in St. Louis I will need a 2nd body for me and a nice prime. Oh well..it will happen, slowly it all will come into order!

[JimAskew]

Got it...then get the dRebel XTi and a 85MMM f/1.8 EF...a cost effective and killer backup package :)

[LeesaB]

HEY I have an xti, somewhere....

now I just need that 85. Thanks Jim!

[Chris Dana]

Well, I have my first gig as a second tomorrow. Hopefully I won't screw the groom prep up.

[LeesaB]

You will do fine! I can't wait to see the images!

[LeesaB]

going to put an order in for the color efex pro nik thing LOL

[Chris Dana]

When are you going to start buying stuff for me?

[LeesaB]

when you leave that state up north LOL

Every time a bride pays me, I like am SO ready to spend it, I have a list of things I want.

I pay my help, cover my books etc. and SPEND the rest lOL

[Chris Dana]

sigh. I'm going to cry. You're discriminating against me because of the state I live in? There's got to be a law against that somewhere.

[LeesaB]

and if there is a law, YOU will find it!

How's life going Chris? You doing better?

[Chris Dana]

I'm doing a little better. Just a long-ass week. Too much stuff to get done around the house and at work right now.

But I did realize that by next month, I will have paid off close to half of my student loans in 3.5 years' time. I don't have as much as some, but it's a substantial amount for someone on the crappy post doc salary I'm on right now.

[Belmondo]

Hmmmm. Long ass.

I guess that would be one that goes from your knees to your shoulder blades. I'd like a picture, please.

[LeesaB]

I know they are low interest but they still hang over your head, I was glad to get ours paid off. Done done and done!

Now i just make more bills etc.

I was looking at the sell forum for the 85, most just offer like 50 bucks cheaper, I might as well buy it new.

[Chris Dana]

Hmmmm. Long ass.

I guess that would be one that goes from your knees to your shoulder blades. I'd like a picture, please.

I'll get one when I get home. I don't have my 1mm fisheye on me.

Yeah, I'm going to consolidate next month when the interest rates are set to drop a fair amount.

We wanted to have them all paid off before the baby came, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen unless I come into a crapload of money.

The 85 is such a great lens, it seems to hold it's value very, very well over time. Great value for the dollar.

you know the visual for that is a bit too much on an empty stomach

I wonder if I'll ever get it down to 5 or 6, although there are a few things I could remove, but then I go to a seminar and now I want the scrim jim 42x42. I need a tripod, UGh and a few other things, I just NEED. It's sick

[LeesaB]

Omgosh, Macho man, I loved him and Hulk Hogan. My kids used to make us take them to WWF battles all over Ohio and Pa.

That is so funny. we have every trading card and figure ever made. I wonder if they will give them to other kids when we move?

You know Lisa I may have to create a tutorial for textures and post them in the RAW/Post Processing & Editing section.

It is, to my surprise, getting a lil attention.

yeah well, you know you used to have a little signature down there that said how I felt.:D

I seriously have copied probably 3 other tutorials off line and could not get them to work, yours made it all very easy and simple and I did it, that is what is more amazing!

I think you should do it!

I just might....still may not go over big. Some on here (NOT TOM) are finiky when it comes to editings like this,

[Stephie]

afternoon! I managed to get one of the albums done. So I'm uploading that now. I'm hoping to have the other done by sunday.

[Stephie]

well I'm headed to get the girls ready for dinner with my dad, and to Wally World.

Gotta get some groceries.

[kja]

I'm thinking the 85mm 1.8
Are you liking yours chris?

I just bought one of these! It's waiting for me at my Mom's in San Francisco - thought I could wait a few weeks and not have to pack it LOL Not getting much shooting time anyway right now.

Chris - the flowers are gorgeous!! I can't wait to play with mine.

Today looks to be a mellow day for me...hang some new underwater prints for sale in the shop, complete a sample book (that I actually hope to sell to the bride's mom) and send it off, putter...not a bad way to spend a Saturday!

[LeesaB]

Hey Kristin, being nosy, how much did you pay? BH has them for 355 I think

[kja]

For the 85? Umm, I want to say $337 ish delivered? It was in my Gold Box

[LeesaB]

So cool. Well, I have a few things to take care of but oh well, thought I would at least put it in my wish list box! yeah....

Let me know how you like it, seems Chris loves his :-)

I think the best thing about a prime is "you" are the zoom, no more zooming in and out, it's you that has to move.

[kja]

I use my other primes a bit, never enough, so I'm looking forward to this new lens. Luke has one and loves his, too.

[SuzyView]

Guess what just happened to me? I need friends right now. :(

I started my printer to print a 5x7 and two cartridges were empty. So, I went to my stash and there is no black one! :( I think I'm going to faint. Tomorrow, first thing, I have to visit Staples. I've never not had a cartridge in the box ready to go. I must not be paying enough attention.

[LeesaB]

I will put it on the xti as a back up when I move so I won't have to run out and buy another camera...yeah

and I can concentrate on the mac Pro Book I want to get.

and and and..

So much..

Where is everyone?

I had a rehearsal, lovely couple, wedding tomorrow, but one ring bearer, well, if he did what he did tonight, I promise some really cute pics, that is all I can say!

The church has this awesome stunning 14 foot tall stained glass window, when we walked inside and spoke with the pastor he said, Oh, it's behind that door, he points to a door, so later on I open the door,and look, the've made it a closet with stairs, they closed up this amazing glass window, so tomorrow IF the sun is not too brilliant, I plan on taking some shots in the "closet"

Awwww.....Suzy, I KNOW the feeling and NOW you have to wait to print anything also.

But by tomorrow afternoon it will be all right because if you're like me, you're going to buy doubles, or MORE so it won't happen again. :D

[SuzyView]

Our church in Brooklyn had a beautiful stain glass window and someone decided it was too religious. Well, they took it down and put a wall there. I was so sad. I think someone did save it, though. If I had a house to build, I may just have bought it and put it in a closet just for me. :) Have fun in the closet, Leesa.

I bought the set with all the colors, and it's not open yet. I already ordered 3 black ones from Amazon just now. I can't be without black.
