That works! Good shot!

I still like the one you posted the other day the very best, it was suggestive enough to be inticing but not overboard.

I don't do dark-ish very well, but I think I have one that might work, I'll go try and see what I come up with.

Scratch that idea, the only darkish ones I have are the ones where the flash failed! lol

[kja]

Nice shots, Kathy!

Jared - loving the dark processing.

Love this Kathy. Really like the close up of the heels.

Morning everyone. Well I'm off to the Air Show today..I have to actually work it. Will get some interesting photos though. Have a good one and Lisa I will send you one from the phone...hehe.

[JimAskew]

Good Morning Everyone...want to have 5 minutes of fun? Follow this link...it is awesome :) Tom and I saw most of these in the theater I suspect?

BTW...nice pictures everyone is posting in the past 24 hours...I'll put up some G10 shots and my impressions tomorrow...I do love this little P&S!

[LeesaB]

Hi Adam

I'll look for it today!

Have a good day everyone!

[Maureen Souza]

Kathy, you are a hottie, girl.... love the photos!! How do you get your lighting so dang perfect every time??

We are home **sigh** but had a glorious time. Even tho we weren't allowed to get close to the volcanoes, we had an amaing time watching them. The Sulfur content of the clouds was too toxic and some of the land (43 acres) had recently fallen off the island into the ocean so were were kept about 3/4 mile away from any volcanic activity.

[kja]

Maureen - that first shot is gorgeous!!

[Maureen Souza]

Thanks, Kristen. I LOVED your underwater shot.......so colorful and so much to see. It was truly art work.
I am still going through the 1200 photos I took....here are a couple more of Kilauea.

[Kathy H]

Wow Mo those are spectacular! I have never been to Hawaii, been in nearly every other state but not there, maybe someday.

And for the record, I am no hottie. LOL I am better than botox with the healing brush and pro retouch action and I NEVER dress like that one on the stool, plus I would break my neck if I tried to actually walk in those shoes. It's all for a play with a local drama troupe.

[LeesaB]

we look like wet rats....the city was wet wet wet tonight.

Maureen awesome shots!

Kathy I dunno, you look Hawt to me! :-)

Because it was going to rain I did not take my camera in BUT...I picked up a Fuji disposible camera and used it, we had fun, we were so TOURISTS!

We went to donut plant, serious, one step away from the river on Grand Street. Organic donuts and you will see a pic after then are developed (can't believe I did that). Shoving one of those bad boys into my mouth!

We got back to Jersey, found Italian to eat and now we are relaxing!

[Kathy H]

I had quite the day. Two senior girl sessions and both of them were exhausting. The second one way abused the deal, actually her mom did. I give each senior a two hour booking, even though it usually only takes a bit over an hour. This mom wanted pictures of her daughter in some of the most out of the way places ever. And she wanted to completely redo her hairstyle with each clothes change/location. I wanted to scream at her about halfway through, but I didn't because I am a big chicken!:p

[Kathy H]

Hey Leesa! Miss NYC! :)

I need to answer your PM! I'll go do that right now:)

[LeesaB]

Night Lisa!

I'm out too, long day tomorrow!

[Maureen Souza]

That second photo belongs on a wall! Awesome :)
Thanks, Jim. Unfortunately we had to stay far away since it was exploding rocks and ash so my photos are a bit noisy. I had to laugh at all the folks trying to take photos with their cell phones. One gal was so frustrated at her P&S after dark because the flash didn't light up the volcano enough for the camera to actually take a picture :lol::lol::lol:

[JimAskew]

Hey Jim! Good evening! How are you?:)
Good Morning Kathy,

I am doing fine...way too busy to enjoy my photography hobby. I finished my my Jefferson Memorial PP last night and I am putting a DVD in the mail to the couple tis morning...I got 102 keepers.

I am 1/3 done with the big Destin, FL Beach Wedding. I send my cousin about 50 photos a week. I plan to get 200 more done this week. She is loving the PP'ed photos.

I am leaving for Roanoke, VA in about an hour. I am taking the G10 to give it a test on the road...should get some spectatular fall leaf shots...the sunshine is super today.

I love your new avatur and the photos you posted with your daughter...well done :)

Have a super day...

[JimAskew]

They are just wondeful...be sure and put one up in the Book Contest :)

I bought a G10 for just that reason...sometimes I just don't want to carry a SLR and I wanted a P&S that had some umph! The G10 does nicely.

[JimAskew]

Good Morning All...I'm off to Roanoke, Va...three days of business meetings.

Have a great week all :)

[Kathy H]

NoWay :shock: You are way too young to have a granddaughter :)

Greetings to all...I made it to Roanoke...waiting on my business partner to arrive so we can go to dinner.

[kja]

Morning, All.

Day two of sucky daylight savings time. I can't express how much I hate it.

[sidx001]

Afternoon all! I just had to pop in here and let everyone know that I am officially in paradise now! I just saw Unleaded Gas at a local station for $1.99/gal!!! :D

[SuzyView]

Slow day, it looks like. Sorry I haven't been on much. Busy life and all.

Congrats to everyone on fine work lately and also it's fun reading this thread to catch up.

Love all the new avatars also.

Maureen, still jealous I didn't get to go with you.

[kja]

Hi James, Suzy!

I could use a new avatar...

Some more underwater stuff from my recent trip to Wakatobi in the wildlife section (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?p=6565339#post6565339)...let's see if I wow as many people with these as with the Ningaloo ones ROFL :D

The time share is still there.... one day we will do it (before we get too, old). :lol:

[LeesaB]

Hi everyone...home and safe and sound...looking at my pics and YES I'll be putting some up james LOL

Had a great time, even our last day in NJ was kinda fun

Had a very strange thing happen on the train on Friday night...

we were stopped at our stop in long branch but no doors would be open, it was myself, my daughter a man and his son. My daughter and I were just having some fun and laughing and the man with the son did not find us funny LOL...

We were waiting to get out the doors. when an announcement comes..

It is against the law to press the buttons on the train panel. So we were laughing like ohhh someone is in trouble.

Then we realize a man (conductor) is starring down the man with his son and not saying a word just glaring at him, the man finally says, "you think i did it, You think I did"? pulls out his wallet with a badge. So then he starts to stare at us, and I felt as if I was in grade school doing something wrong...it really made me laugh and I said, we never moved, we did not touch anything, at this point two men move behind us and I think "Crap, we are in big trouble" I asked him did it come from here and he says yes, and I tell him it was us four and no one here pushed anything...

He starts to blame the two men behind us and one admits to it just to get the guy to stop doing all this stuff...I said NO, it was the four of us, and no one touched anything but it was only us four they came up later.

Now here's what ticked me off...the man with the badge just stood there, never uttered a word and I said to him, So you just stand there, show your badge and your immune, your not going to say anything about these two men because you KNOW it was just us too, but you just stand there and say nothing.

OOO he made me so mad, finally the doors open, and we all leave...

I hate pompous a$$e$ with badges as if that means he did not do it cuz he had a badge...Errrr just made me so mad....

Okay..you can now resume your normally scheduled chat LOL..

[Maureen Souza]

LOL, Lisa. Did you tell him off?

[LeesaB]

we walked behind him for a bit, and spoke how we felt. I just felt it was so wrong..

He cleared himself by a badge...what does that mean, really?

I really don't think any of us pushed anything, I'm not sure if it could be pin pointed to where we were standing, but if it was....I'll bet it was him. We really did not move to the sides where the panel was and neither did he and his son, so I have no clue what "really" happened and I'm very sure it's a serious offense, but...

It was unreal...and being from Ohio, I'll speak my mind!

He and the conductor even joked about "putting us in jail" and that is when I stopped laughing and said, I was seriously getting ticked off.

What a flippin coward with a badge, no (you know whats) to stand up for anyone but himself.

The conductor just starred at us, first the guy with the badge then us, he did not ask us, say a word till I spoke first....I should have taken his picture.

another picture regret!

[kja]

Wohooo! My early December bride just called and upped her package :) I'm really looking forward to this one as she says she has a big dress and really wants some of those prep shots and detail shots ... be my first chance for them with a bride in anything resembling "formal" wear, so can't wait!

Kristin...that is super news! Congrats :)

[kja]

Thanks, Jim. I'm really excited about the next couple of weddings I have. Just got confirmation about one on the 17th of November, today, too.

[JimAskew]

Looks like business is booming for you...that's a good thing :) It is easy to see why as well...your photography is stunning. Now if you could only get an underwater wedding gig LOL!

[LeesaB]

Hey Congrats Kristin, your work is paying off and those brides are coming! ENJOY

and

Morning everyone...

I honestly believe it may snow here today :-(

[sidx001]

Good morning everyone! We're headed for a high of 48 degrees with clear, sunny skies. It's another glorious day in paradise!

Welcome back Leesa! Now we just need to get you all the way back here :)

Congrats on the wedding Kristen, that's wonderful.

First day back after 8 days gone, it's a Monday....putting on the battle gear :D

[Tommy]

Morning all! Sorry, I was away all weekend. Saturday I closed the studio and took the day off to hang out with my daughter. We did some Halloween stuff... got her costume, carved pumpkins, etc... and went to the movies.

Sunday I had 3... yes... THREE shoots... First a HS senior, then two engagements... I'm up to my neck in photos to process now... lol...

And Lisa, you should have asked him so see his badge and take his badge number, etc.... as a public servant, if you request to see it, he has to show it... Then I would have reported his a$$... not that it would have done anything... but I would have felt good about it... lol...

[LeesaB]

Hey James and Tom

just went through the pics from NY, going to blog about it pretty soon, but need to get out of this seat for bit LOL

NYC is an amazing place and I've decided I'm not a "things" shooter I love to shoot the people. From very unique to very uber normal!

The thing that amazes me are the night people, the homeless etc. I always wonder what it took for them to get "that" far. Did they just snap, abused, playing around and it just went to far. You know...sometimes if you play sick enough you become sick! Sometimes if you play a part long enough it becomes who you are.

I had to laugh, we were in Garretts popcorn and a homeless woman came in and asked for a sample, they gave it to her, she starts screaming "I can't get a taste from that" and they talk to her nice, explain it's a sample. they finally give her three samples and I laughed. She had better marketing technique then then did,,,she got what she wanted. LOL

[Jon]

Afternoon all! I just had to pop in here and let everyone know that I am officially in paradise now! I just saw Unleaded Gas at a local station for $1.99/gal!!! :D
Enjoy it while it lasts - they'll jack it back up after the elections . . .

[Derweissehai]

Afternoon all. Well after a long and busy weekend I have some breathing room. Not to mention I just got home from shooting a job for the DOD for one the magazines they put out annually....so now it's on th processing those on top of the wedding and calender shoot....YEAH!!!!!!!.

Hope everyone is doing good.

[tsw910]

my business cards just arrived ..

Hey ScubaTom, I think those look pretty cool! I like the album on the backside...good idea :)

[tsw910]

thanks James .. i browsed through overnightprints and this was from their collection =) ..

[LeesaB]

Hi Tom

I like them a lot....

Hows my NYC doing?

We found a Chicago Saint Alps, but it will be 5 hours from my house..might as well wait to go back to NYC

[tsw910]

thanks Leesa .. can't believe it finally arrived today .. when i needed them on friday and weds night LOL

LOL .. saint alps .. im so glad you like it .. i wanted to bring you somewhere that it can't be had anywhere .. otherwise, it'll be boring

but the Tea is definitely off the hizzhain

[LeesaB]

The tea was awesome....I am going to try to make some and add milk one of these days... and bubbles hahahah that just makes me laugh

You have to see the picture I took of you and Annie in the subway, it looks like you are giving me a mean mug ! I'll send it your way..or post it here ahhahahahhah...

I had to run up to the apple store, man, I DO NOT like the new apple laptops, they suck for photographers. But, BH has some great deals on the now older models I may try to pick up one, we will see.

[tsw910]

oh nice ! .. please send it to me i would love to see it LOL ..

[JimAskew]

Enjoy it while it lasts - they'll jack it back up after the elections . . .
Depending on the outcome it could be a sliding scale! Show them a pay stub and they will set the pump price accordingly ;)

[thekid24]

;):D

[thekid24]

......

[kja]

Jared - love the second bubble blowing one!

Lisa, Jim - thanks for the words of encouragement! I so enjoy shooting people and events like this, I'm glad I'm getting the opportunity.

One of my earlier brides just paid for her album last night, too, after not being sure she'd even get it at all. It was a pretty good day, really.

Tom - when do you get to get back in the water??

[Maureen Souza]

Kristen...GREAT NEWS about your bride :):)

I am doing a shoot here in about 20 minutes...mama is 32 weeks pregnant and wants shots with her 6 year old son. Informal, nothing fussy. Easy peasy :) I hope.

[LeesaB]

ahh, some sad news

Looks like my mother is going to have to go to a nursing home. We can't get her to stop what she is doing. This is NOT going to be easy, I'll know more after Wed. My step father is making an appointment with her doctor. I'll have to babysit her then. I'll probably have to be the bad sheep, me and my daughter.

Even my uncle is saying it's time...ICK this just does not set right.

[LeesaB]

Jared she is beautiful, tell her I said that.

and you, Uncle Jared, had better keep a close eye on her as she grows up!

[kja]

That's not good news, Lisa. Hopefully your family can find a kind, nurturing place for her that will actually be good for her. They do exist, but can be hard to find. You are in my thoughts!

[sidx001]

I'm sorry to hear that Lisa. There are some really good Full Care places out in your area, I'm sure you'll find a great place for her.

[LeesaB]

well....I know of two places, but that decision belongs to my Step Father and I told him, if he decides to do it, I'm behind him...and if her family decides to "help" just to get hands on her stuff I will step in and make sure he gets it all. He deserves it. Not them, not me!

Families are a trip at times like this.

It will be an ugly ugly day...besides my mom "acting" up. Having them around.

I guess we will see, it's not a decision he wants to make, but he really cannot handle her anymore when that happens, there are two choices.

[Derweissehai]

Ok here is my actual "first" weddings post in here:

[LeesaB]

Hi Adam,

First wedding huh? Nice shot, I've always liked the veil shot.

Want any criticism?

Just a heads up...I was looking for a Joe Buissink video for my daughgter and i did a google search and saw that someone on ebay was offering one, so, I went to save it to watch and it asked for my password and name, I thought for a moment, went to my bookmarked Ebay site and guess what, I am signed in, searched for the video..no where to be found.

How about that fake ebay site just wanted my password. Whew...close one!

Sure is...and thanks...I know I need some improvements. Sure I can always use some critisim...always helps me inprove.
Now that sucks about the ebay thing...had it happen to me twice allready.

[LeesaB]

It's how we all learn....:-)

Well, do you have a skin softening program? that would do a nice number on both of their complexions.

there is that fold next to her arm, you can clone that out of there.

Clone the top where those items are hanging down

and one nit picky thing I would do is remove the finger tip kinda sticking out from her dress.

Tom - when do you get to get back in the water??

i was planning on going to FL in Dec, but the water will be cold by then .. and the season for diving in the northeast is already came and gone .. so i guess its next season, unless i get to go somewhere nice ... oh did i tell you .. I FINALLY GOT MY C-CARD !!!!! WOOHOO !

well....I know of two places, but that decision belongs to my Step Father and I told him, if he decides to do it, I'm behind him...and if her family decides to "help" just to get hands on her stuff I will step in and make sure he gets it all. He deserves it. Not them, not me!

nice adam .. is this your first wedding?

Yup......not to bad, but I know I need improvement...but I don't plan on doing to many due to the nature of my full time job...sticking with portriats and models

[kja]

LOL The water in Florida won't be that cold. Just hire a wetsuit once you are there if yours is too light. Jeesh, I thought I was a WWW! :D

Lisa,

That is a tough decision to make. I had to do the same with my Dad a few years ago...just keep telling yourself that it is the right thing for your Mom...she will get the care she needs. I will keep you both in my thoughts.

[tsw910]

ok .. here's a questions for the all ages ..

since most of you do do weddings .. i have a nice brain scratcher for ya

16-35mm or 17-40mm? hmm ... this may stir somethings up ..

here's why i ask this question .. lately i've been thinking of adding something wide to my gear set .. and i've been reading that the 17-40 is actually a better color producer than the 16-35 .. BUT, the 16-35 is actually a stop better than the 17-40 .. so as you can see, im torn between the 2 lens .. its either Better quality or better in low light .. hmmmm

[tsw910]

Yup......not to bad, but I know I need improvement...but I don't plan on doing to many due to the nature of my full time job...sticking with portriats and models

well, no one can argue with you on that .. your models and portraits are AWESOME !


LOL The water in Florida won't be that cold. Just hire a wetsuit once you are there if yours is too light. Jeesh, I thought I was a WWW! :D

LOL .. when i dove here in northeast, i actually had to wear a 7mm suit with a hood, man .. did i hate it .. i couldn't get use to it .. but i may have brave the cold water to see this

Lisa,

That is a tough decision to make. I had to do the same with my Dad a few years ago...just keep telling yourself that it is the right thing for your Mom...she will get the care she needs. I will keep you both in my thoughts.

thanks Jim and Tom.

I guess just being the black sheep and the one who will actually have to "make" her go.
I'd love to get into the lengthy details, but I guess it's best just to let it all go...

[JimAskew]

Ok here is my actual "first" weddings post in here:



Adam,

Nicely done. My only (small) criticism would be to cut back on the exposure a tad to bring out the details in the Bride's gown.

[LeesaB]

Tom that is a wicked picture....wow, I saw a scary movie once about a guy who did that to women chained to the ocean floor. ewwww.

I like the 16-35, but, I may just get a prime for my next lens, after i get my assistant her 24-70

Ok all. Time for me to get some sleep...early day tomorrow...back to work.

Tom,

I got the 17-40MM as the UWA for my 5D and I love it. The 5D performs well at high ISO so just crank it up when f/4 is not fast enough :)

[kja]

I don't think that's his photo, Lisa ;)

Tom - Florida in winter isn't as cold as the NE in summer. You'll be happy.

[tsw910]

oh sorry guys .. like Kristin said .. its not my photo, i just wanted to show thats one of the highlights in FL ..

Leesa .. 16-35 is nice, but i think the 17-40 maybe alittle better, but we'll see, i should make up my mind soon ..

Jim .. thats my thoughts exactly ..

Kristin, your right .. Dec in FL should be better than summer in NE

[Bobster]

colour makes no difference when shooting RAW.. how about a 11-16mm 2.8?

Adam, the light behind the couple is very distracting to me, the focus is on the ear? and its a little over exposed..

Still that is a wicked photo! :-)

I don't have a full frame camera and I think Tom/Belmondo and I talked about that before...I'd be better off with a 28-105 I think it was???

[tsw910]

I thought that was AXL you posted last time. Saw on the news yesterday that there is a new release date for the album....next month some time. Lets see if he follows thru this time...it's only been 10 years or so.

[LeesaB]

Bob, THAT is an awesome picture....Great job.

Jared....What is more impressive about that picture is your Hannah Montana Sticker..

[LeesaB]

I just posted this on another thread but two things I did like about the show were these

the Canon Selphy (look it up on the canon website)

and these cute numbers

Lite Panels Micro/ www.litepanels.com

[SuzyView]

Great stuff!

How are you all?

I have the Canon mini 320 for 5x7's, Leesa. It's wonderful.

[Tommy]

Jared....What is more impressive about that picture is your Hannah Montana Sticker..

+1... haha!!

Great shot there Jared ;)

[Tommy]

Morning everyone! Sorry I wasn't on last night... I was busy as a bee. I finished up my last engagement album, and processed the senior photos from Sunday morning's shoot. Now I just have the two engagement shoots from Sunday to process...

[Tommy]

Correction!!!
That is a bandaid!
Of course any phlebotomsit would know thats not where the blood was drawn from. i got cut by a piece of glass while cleaning up, my niece grabbed my this bandaid. How could i say no.;)

[Tommy]

Thanks James!

And I'm glad you're having a sunny day... but for me, it's raining. :( As I'm sure you heard the rain caused last nights game to be halted and delayed until tonight... first time ever in World Series history that a game was shortened due to rain...

[Tommy]

How could i say no.;)

You could have asked her for a Barbie band-aid instead... thus salvaging your dignity, and not saying "no" to your niece at the same time... lol... j/k ;)
