Neat stuff Permi!!

[puddlepirate44]

That is neat Lisa.
Dan I really like the pano at the poll table. Very creative and nice!

Lisa turned it into a pano in post. It's really amazing what she's doing with my shots. Honest.

[Permagrin]

Dan I really like the pano at the poll table. Very creative and nice!

he was great with posing this time...I loved what he did...including the games and things...the guys had a blast and it showed in their shots.

Neat stuff Permi!!

thanks Crissa.

[BearLeeAlive]

That's such a cool name.
There is always Loudon Wainright (http://youtube.com/watch?v=IdKno60jFlw) too. The video here is pathetic, but the song is fun. You should hear a bunch of drunks singing it around the campfire. :p
I put together a couple of templates of Dan's shots (I haven't started on mine yet) and was pretty happy with them...
Great shots, and wonderful processing. You guys will soon be busy once folks get wind of your good work.

[Jamie Holladay]

Lisa turned it into a pano in post. It's really amazing what she's doing with my shots. Honest.
You had to shoot it first, remember that.

Yes it does!

[Becky N]

With both camera clocks synced, and unless you click the shutters at the exact same time it would.

Was going to suggest the same. Also we found our camera clocks are off a bit eadh shoot. Somehow Curt synchs them via the computer.

LOTRR: Type Casting


Think it looks great, Dan. Well, except the grey robe thing.;)

I put together a couple of templates of Dan's shots (I haven't started on mine yet) and was pretty happy with them...


Very nice, again I will say, Permie enhances already great shots. Sort of like actually knowing how to put on make-up it is to enhance the natural beaty already there when applied correctly. And I too like the pool shot great angle.

[Jamie Holladay]

How How How.

[Becky N]

Its through EOS utility but he doesn't remember exactly the steps and is in the middle of something right now so can't check.

Sawwy, not much help, am I?

[Jamie Holladay]

That's ok just when you think about it ask and let us know! ;)

Great poses and shots, Dan :D Great PP Lisa :D As a team, you guys rock!

[3Turner]

Evening...

It's about as exciting as my 40D's duck shot, but here's the 10D's first infrared snap (red and blue channels swapped):
That is a great shot Lonnie...wonder what mountains look like in IR :D.

Speaking of gas mileage...
I am pretty impressed with the Yukon. We averaged about 28-30 MPG on our trip.
Of course, there were extremes on both ends:
What in the world....how is that? Does your Yukon have that Active Fuel Management thingy? How does it do in the city?

Now, Becky, we don't want the boys to think we don't need them There are a few things that I just won't do so may pack up one or two as I fleeHow will you decide??

PICK ME! PICK ME! PICK ME!What makes you think they would after you said.......

Wooooooooo Hoooooooooooo

Double Woooooooooo Hooooooooooooo
.....oh kiss up :p :lol:

That's a great photo Bobby. I meant to say something earlier. :D
Does mama bird ever get mad at you for being so close?
Thanks Cat. No, not really. She actually flies off once she sees us get close to the door. That shot is actually shot through the glass of the door.

Oh yeah! Me, too :D

I think a crop of just their open baby-bird beaks would be cool!
Thanks Terri....and I think that would be a great crop, but this shot is a 1:1 crop already in LR...I assume 100%. If I went any further, I think the IQ would suffer.

Is there a way to combat that? Can I reset the counter on one or the other camera? Is there a setting that I can use for one camera and not the other that will separate the photos?
I see you already reset the counter and got some answers, but I would have sorted by time taken in the editing software...I think it sorts by minutes and seconds.

In LightRoom, it will show all the images taken with my older one with me as the author.
All images with the newer one have 'unknown author'.

But I don't remember how to set that.

*patiently waiting for my threadmates to enlighten me*
Using the EOS Utility on the tools then set name, can't remember exactly where it is in there...but its there.

That's a pretty cool shot, Bobert!!
Thanks Dan :D

Great shot, a bunch of hungry little Swallowers, eh!!! :D
Yes they are. As a matter of fact, each time the flash popped they would stretch out their little necks waiting for food. Odd reaction.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yv4Sia94Cu8&feature=related
Nice video....like how the lion hugged them.

OK, as a warning, this is the first time that I've drawn the TR's completely digitally, from sketch to upload. I'm getting a little better at it, but these first strips look kinda weird. Sorry.

LOTRR: Type Casting
Looks great to me :D

I put together a couple of templates of Dan's shots (I haven't started on mine yet) and was pretty happy with them...Very pretty Lisa....came together very nicely. Will those be for a book or individual photos?

[Jamie Holladay]

What makes you think they would after you said.......


.....oh kiss up :p :lol:
Your just JEALOUS!!! I got the girls and you didn't ;)

[misspix]

Hullo Bobert.

[3Turner]

Your just JEALOUS!!! I got the girls and you didn't ;)Me? No not at all.:rolleyes: Okay...maybe just a little.

Hullo Bobert.
Hola Doña Terri.

[misspix]

Me? No not at all.:rolleyes: Okay...maybe just a little.

Awwwwww...you can come, too, as long as you are willing to do scary insect patrol :)

[wu_wei0]

I am quite fond of Rufus Wainright's version of Cohen's hallelujah, other than that I am very much unfamiliar with him but very glad you had such a fantastic evening Neil. Love it. Check out KD Lang's version.

I'm a big Cohen fan. Most people know his work as covered by others.
I'm still fond of Suzanne

[3Turner]

Awwwwww...you can come, too, as long as you are willing to do scary insect patrol :)Can I get pictures before conducting said patrol?? :D

[misspix]

Can I get pictures before conducting said patrol?? :D
As long as the proper security measures are employed, I don't see why not.


HI WU!!!!!!!

[cfpackerfan]

You have to install the EOS utilities disk to your computer...then connect the camera...some require using firewire...some work with USB...and then you can enter your user info via the utility...I always enter my name and cell phone number...so that info shows on all my images.I have the EOS utility disk loaded, and I can't seem to find where to enter my name. Maybe I'm trying too hard. :rolleyes:

OK, as a warning, this is the first time that I've drawn the TR's completely digitally, from sketch to upload. I'm getting a little better at it, but these first strips look kinda weird. Sorry.

LOTRR: Type Casting
:lol: :lol: And no apologies needed.. it looks GREAT!

well that made me bawl Me too. Me too.

also, some of these actions (on the right side of the page there are 3 actions links) look nice

http://coffeeteaphotography.blogspot.com/2008/04/free-coffeeshop-b-actions.html

(especially the espresso/hot cocoa/creamy toffee latte/coffee with cream...those look very nice)Thanks!

It is 01:10 in the morning and I have just returned from the Manchester Opera House. I just wanted to come on here and say that there are many many things we have to thank Canada for but tonight I think their biggest contribution to the world is Leonard Cohen, he may be 76 years old but he has just given three hours of perfection I go to bed very happy I'm so glad that you had a nice time, Neil! I know how you were looking forward to seeing him again. That is fantastic. :D

Then you have never heard my daughters singing it together around a campfire, they make it totally mesmerizing. There were tears the first time they sang it together. (not mine though, of course ). They both knew the song well, but did not even realize the other knew it, as they are 12 years apart in age. :DI'd love to hear them singing it. Video please. ;)


I put together a couple of templates of Dan's shots (I haven't started on mine yet) and was pretty happy with them...

Wow! Those are fantastic! They will LOVE them.

Great poses and shots, Dan :D Great PP Lisa :D As a team, you guys rock! ^^ Yeah that. Ditto.


What in the world....how is that? Does your Yukon have that Active Fuel Management thingy? How does it do in the city?
Um, it's called something like that. It shuts down 4 cylinders when it doesn't need them. It does pretty well in the city too... about 18-22 depending.

[Jamie Holladay]

Awwwwww...you can come, too, as long as you are willing to do scary insect patrol :)
*huff*
Can I get pictures before conducting said patrol?? :D
Yeah we will shoot them with our Dualing 40Ds & 100mm Marcos. :cool: The squish them. :lol:

[misspix]

LOL, Jamie! I am sure there are enough scary insects to keep you both busy :lol:

And for the record, I don't require them to be squished unless my personal space is under attack. :shock:

[misspix]

Hullo Cat *nods*

[Jamie Holladay]

LOL, Jamie! I am sure there are enough scary insects to keep you both busy :lol:
Insects? I wasn't huffing over JUST insects.

[cfpackerfan]

Hullo Cat *nods*Terri. *bumps knuckles*

[cfpackerfan]

Seriously, what's with the nodding and knuckle bumping? You know if we were to run into each other in real life, there'd be squealing, jumping up and down and massive hugs. We may as well admit it.

[3Turner]

Hi Wu, you Texan you. :D

As long as the proper security measures are employed, I don't see why not.
All right! Would both Jaime and I fit in what you were planning to pack and smuggle two of us out of here?

I have the EOS utility disk loaded, and I can't seem to find where to enter my name. Maybe I'm trying too hard. :rolleyes:

Um, it's called something like that. It shuts down 4 cylinders when it doesn't need them. It does pretty well in the city too... about 18-22 depending.
You have your camera hooked up too right?

I think that is the same thing. Does acceleration suffer when in 4 cylinder mode?

*huff*

Yeah we will shoot them with our Dualing 40Ds & 100mm Marcos. :cool: The squish them. :lol:
Are you getting Jealous now? :lol:

2 40Ds, 2 100mm....double the creepy crawly critter shots. :lol:

[3Turner]

Insects? I wasn't huffing over JUST insects.
:lol: I knew it.

Seriously, what's with the nodding and knuckle bumping? You know if we were to run into each other in real life, there'd be squealing, jumping up and down and massive hugs. We may as well admit it.
Squealing? Like glass shattering squeals? Piercing pain.....:confused:

[cfpackerfan]

You have your camera hooked up too right?

I think that is the same thing. Does acceleration suffer when in 4 cylinder mode?




Yes I do. :p

And no it doesn't. If you are in 4 cylinder mode and need to accelerate quickly (like for passing) it automatically bumps into 8.

[cfpackerfan]

:lol: I knew it.


Squealing? Like glass shattering squeals? Piercing pain.....:confused:

Well... no. Geez. It's not like we're girls. :p

[3Turner]

Yes I do. :p :lol: It was just a question. :rolleyes:

Okay, what version of EOS Utility are you in? I'll hook up my camera and let you know where it is.


And no it doesn't. If you are in 4 cylinder mode and need to accelerate quickly (like for passing) it automatically bumps into 8.
Cool...I never test drove one, but am now considering the same a Jim about a more fuel efficient vehicle. One like yours would serve me well since all I drive is highway.

[misspix]

Seriously, what's with the nodding and knuckle bumping? You know if we were to run into each other in real life, there'd be squealing, jumping up and down and massive hugs. We may as well admit it.
I will admit no such thing :lol:
Insects? I wasn't huffing over JUST insects.
:lol:

All right! Would both Jaime and I fit in what you were planning to pack and smuggle two of us out of here?

*checks spare Domke* Hmmmm, might be a tight squeeze...

[cfpackerfan]

Don't let my pics mislead you Bobby. :lol: The 99 MPG was coming down the other side of the summit. :lol: The 6 MPG was going up it.

Though all in all I am VERY happy with it. I'm surprised at the mileage it gets for a big vehicle.

And I have no idea what version EOS utilities I have. :lol: The one that came with the 30D. :lol:

[3Turner]

*checks spare Domke* Hmmmm, might be a tight squeeze...
I'm not very bendable...just saying.

Oh, I know it wouldn't do the 6 and 99...I just remembered you had mentioned that it got over 20sumpthin mpg which is better than my pickup.

My EOS Utility just locked up. :|

[wu_wei0]

As long as the proper security measures are employed, I don't see why not.


HI WU!!!!!!!
Hi!! just dropping in.
Hi Wu, you Texan you. :D



HOwdy! How's tricks in your parts?

[3Turner]

Okay...reset.

When the camera is hooked up and main window of EOS Utility comes up, click on "Camera Settings/Remote Shooting"

A new window pops up which looks like the lcd displays of a camera. Click on the little icon of the hammer and wrench...next to the camera in the center.

When the set up menu is visible, just click on "Owner Name" and edit your name.

[3Turner]

HOwdy! How's tricks in your parts?
Ehhh....I want A/C all day....you know. Texas is Texas. :rolleyes: :lol:

That's my problem. That option is unclickable. It's opaque. :?

[3Turner]

That's my problem. That option is unclickable. It's opaque. :?
Which option? If the "Camera Settings/Remote Shooting" is....close out the utility and restart. I had to do that for the program to allow clicky on the selections.

[misspix]

That's my problem. That option is unclickable. It's opaque. :?
GAAAAAAA! Not the dreaded opaque!! :shock: *pulls hair and gnashes teeth*

[3Turner]

Oh yeah...and make sure the camera is on...that it did not fall asleep.

[puddlepirate44]

Seriously, what's with the nodding and knuckle bumping? You know if we were to run into each other in real life, there'd be squealing, jumping up and down and massive hugs. We may as well admit it.

Hi, Wu. *squeals, jumps up and down, parcels out massive hugs*
Some how...some way....I can see this :shock: :lol:

[misspix]

I, for one, have never seen a squealing bull before this moment. Interesting. *makes note on clipboard*

[cfpackerfan]

Which option? If the "Camera Settings/Remote Shooting" is....close out the utility and restart. I had to do that for the program to allow clicky on the selections.Done that. MANY times. I think I may actually uninstall it, and reinstall it.

Oh yeah...and make sure the camera is on...that it did not fall asleep.Checked. More than once. *shrugs*

Are you getting Jealous now? :lol:

2 40Ds, 2 100mm....double the creepy crawly critter shots. :lol:
Nope just selfish. :cool: but I'll share the creepy crawly critters.
I'm not very bendable...just saying.
I am, well not as much as scottlet but somewhat.

[3Turner]

Done that. MANY times. I think I may actually uninstall it, and reinstall it.

Checked. More than once. *shrugs*
Don't uninstall and reinstall....do the upgrade from the Canon USA software site.

I am, well not as much as scottlet but somewhat.
I don't think anyone can be more bendable than scottlet. ;)

[puddlepirate44]

Some how...some way....I can see this :shock: :lol:

Yeah, so can I. Scary.

I, for one, have never seen a squealing bull before this moment. Interesting. *makes note on clipboard*

Stick around. There's a lot of surprises in store.

[asolie]

I don't think anyone can be more bendable than scottlet. ;)

You haven't seen me do the V-sit or play Twister. ;):lol:

[misspix]

Stick around. There's a lot of surprises in store.
No worries. You all are stuck with me. I am like a bad penny :)

[3Turner]

Yeah, so can I. Scary.

Stick around. There's a lot of surprises in store.
I like surprises. :D

[asolie]

Stick around. There's a lot of surprises in store.

Sounds fun! :D

[puddlepirate44]

Do I want to know what a V-sit is?

[3Turner]

You haven't seen me do the V-sit or play Twister. ;):lol:
Twister is hard, but the V-sit sounds painful.:confused:

[asolie]

Do I want to know what a V-sit is?

Basically stretching towards (and past, if capable) your feet while sitting. :)

[puddlepirate44]

Twister is hard, but the V-sit sounds painful.:confused:

Basically stretching towards (and past, if capable) your feet while sitting. :)

Yup. Painful.

[3Turner]

Basically stretching towards (and past, if capable) your feet while sitting. :)
yeah...uh.....ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow.

[puddlepirate44]

Ho cake.

Basically stretching towards (and past, if capable) your feet while sitting. :) Oi. Even at my best, while sitting I cannot make my back straight, and my hands don't go to mid-thigh.
Standing, (and bending over) my hands barely reach my knees.

I have compacted vertebra. Made epidurals pretty difficult. :lol:

[Jamie Holladay]

You haven't seen me do the V-sit or play Twister. ;):lol:
Resisting *where is Zane*
Basically stretching towards (and past, if capable) your feet while sitting. :)
I used to be able to do that, but then those were the days that I was Cheering and in very good shape. I think I pulled a hamstring like puddles.

[cfpackerfan]

Jamie, I think we need to see some scanned cheer pictures.

[wu_wei0]

Ehhh....I want A/C all day....you know. Texas is Texas. :rolleyes: :lol:
I'm terrified of my impending power bill! This thing runs all the time and seldom gets above 80. You'd think a 1 br apt would get cool eventually. I am thankful I finally have A/C in my vehicle!

[Jamie Holladay]

Ho cake.
Hideeeeeeee Hooooooooooooo thanks for the grub.

[Permagrin]

wu? *blink blink* is it you? *blink blink*

[JWright]

It's just a CF setting. Get a program that displays all EXIF data. BreezeBrowser will do it.

I'd probably have to buy the upgrade... I haven't used it in so long my current license has probably run out.

There is always Loudon Wainright (http://youtube.com/watch?v=IdKno60jFlw) too. The video here is pathetic, but the song is fun. You should hear a bunch of drunks singing it around the campfire. :p

I knew this was Dead Skunk before I even clicked on it...

I have the EOS utility disk loaded, and I can't seem to find where to enter my name. Maybe I'm trying too hard. :rolleyes:

I think it's under something like tools or camera settings. Give me a minute and I'll find out for sure. Which version of the disc are you using?

[Jamie Holladay]

I'm terrified of my impending power bill! This thing runs all the time and seldom gets above 80. You'd think a 1 br apt would get cool eventually. I am thankful I finally have A/C in my vehicle!
It has been terribly hot here up until the last few days. I hope it is like yesterday and today while your in town.

[wu_wei0]

Hi, Cat. *squeals, jumps up and down, parcels out massive hugs*



Hi, Wu. *squeals, jumps up and down, parcels out massive hugs*

Hi Pudsy. :) Are the hugs sanctioned?

[wu_wei0]

wu? *blink blink* is it you? *blink blink*
Yup. for a minute.

How was your wedding? any links to a galleray I can get into?

[misspix]

Jamie, I think we need to see some scanned cheer pictures.
Yes. Yes we do.

[wu_wei0]

It has been terribly hot here up until the last few days. I hope it is like yesterday and today while your in town. The heat has kept me pretty immobile which has played more havoc on the bod. I can't believe I used to walk miles in hot temps when I lived in KS.

[Permagrin]

Yup. for a minute.

How was your wedding? any links to a galleray I can get into?

I've missed you!! Muchly ;)

no gallery yet...I've only processed a few shots (see link) but I'll send you the gallery link when I'm further along if you want it. The wedding was okay. A combination of extremely relaxed and extremely stresseful...if that makes sense

http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showpost.php?p=5755501&postcount=4198

[3Turner]

Ho cake.
No thanks....I just ate.

I used to be able to do that, but then those were the days that I was Cheering and in very good shape. I think I pulled a hamstring like puddles.
Wait....you were in Cheering? :shock: Do tell. Was it like the Spartan Cheerleader skits of SNL? :D Insert SNL Skit here....couldn't find any on YouTube.

Jamie, I think we need to see some scanned cheer pictures.I second it!!!

I'm terrified of my impending power bill! This thing runs all the time and seldom gets above 80. You'd think a 1 br apt would get cool eventually. I am thankful I finally have A/C in my vehicle!
I know what you mean....my electricity bill was $106 this last time in a brand new "energy efficient" home. My old house would easily be $190...and it was a smaller home 1200 sqft. When we lived in an apartment waiting for this house to be built, we were lucky to have to split the electricity bill and water bill with all units in the building. Ours typically came out to about $50 there.

[JWright]

Cat,

On the Version 17.1 disc that came with the 40D, the place you change the name is under Camera Settings. The manual for Version 8 (came with the 20D) shows it under Options>Camera Settings.

[wu_wei0]

Heck, without running a/c or heat. my bill is already $100 a month and that is being careful about turning lights and electronics off. Even unplugging stuff.

I would love your electric bill :-| We heat with wood. No need for a/c where we live. Our electric bill was over $200 last month.

[3Turner]

There has to be something wrong then....you should mention it to the apartment staff. OR...it could be that the guy who says he is reading the meter is not reading it and is putting random numbers in, that has happened to me when I received a bill for $282 for one month. That guy got reprimanded after they came and saw that the meter was not at the level the guy said it was.

[cfpackerfan]

I think it's under something like tools or camera settings. Give me a minute and I'll find out for sure. Which version of the disc are you using? Yeah, for some reason, I can't click on camera settings. I'm going to try to download an update.

No thanks....I just ate.


Wait....you were in Cheering? :shock: Do tell. Was it like the Spartan Cheerleader skits of SNL? :D Insert SNL Skit here....couldn't find any on YouTube. :lol: I love the Spartan cheerleeders.

Thanks for looking that up for me John. I'm not sure what version I have (too lazy to go search for it in the workroom). I'll see what happens after I download an update.

[BearLeeAlive]

Love it. Check out KD Lang's version.

I'm a big Cohen fan. Most people know his work as covered by others.
I'm still fond of Suzanne
Hi Wu, I agree on both accounts. KD Land has a great voice, and Suzzane is a classic in my books. :)
Um, it's called something like that. It shuts down 4 cylinders when it doesn't need them. It does pretty well in the city too... about 18-22 depending.
The '09 Pilot I am getting has VCM (Variable Cylinder Management) with runs the engine on 3,4 or 6 cylinders, depending upon load. More vehicles should do this. One thing I like about hybrids is that they shut right down whenever stopped. I think this should be incorporated into gas/diesel engines too, starters these days could easily handle it and the technology have been around for decades.
GAAAAAAA! Not the dreaded opaque!! :shock: *pulls hair and gnashes teeth*
**pulls out the colour paints to give it some clarity** :p
Basically stretching towards (and past, if capable) your feet while sitting. :)
As a fat old fart, I can still put my hands flat on the ground with my feet shoulder width apart, keeping my legs straight. (Getting back up is another story ;))
I hurt my groin.:confused:
Don't be looking to me for help there pal. :shock:

[cfpackerfan]

I would love your electric bill :-| We heat with wood. No need for a/c where we live. Our electric bill was over $200 last month.
Yep. We heat with gas, but cool with electric.
Summer time our power bill can be anywhere between 250-300 bux a month.

Winter time is down to about 100 or so.

[3Turner]

I would love your electric bill :-| We heat with wood. No need for a/c where we live. Our electric bill was over $200 last month.
What is using all the electricity if no A/C and you heat with wood?

[misspix]

Thanks for the color, Jim :)

[puddlepirate44]

During the Winter, we heat by burning peat and buffalo dung. Summer time is when we just run down to the river and go for a soak, which is nice because we can club fish for dinner while we're there.

Ah, Oregon.

[3Turner]

As a fat old fart, I can still put my hands flat on the ground with my feet shoulder width apart, keeping my legs straight. (Getting back up is another story ;)) Yeah...well, sitting down I can to that too.:rolleyes:

Don't be looking to me for help there pal. :shock:Why not?! :lol: :p

Yep. We heat with gas, but cool with electric.

Winter time is down to about 100 or so.

I have a problem.

We can put a 4x6 photo of Cara on the headstone.

Our favorite picture of her we have hanging in the hallway. It's a black and white 8x10, that I printed in the darkroom.

I'm having the hardest time scanning it. :? Because it's heat mounted to the mat board, and it's a larger size than my scanner.

This is the best I can get it to look... (No PP)

Any suggestions?

We could always go with a different photo, but if there's a way to do this one I'd love to.

[misspix]

What is using all the electricity if no A/C and you heat with wood?
That is 'The Question That Can Never Be Answered' :rolleyes:


I think the dogs are watching tv and playing video games while we are gone, but haven't been able to catch them at it yet.

[wu_wei0]

I've missed you!! Muchly ;)

no gallery yet...I've only processed a few shots (see link) but I'll send you the gallery link when I'm further along if you want it. The wedding was okay. A combination of extremely relaxed and extremely stresseful...if that makes sense

http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showpost.php?p=5755501&postcount=4198

Makes perfect sense!

Those are awesome shots! I love the pool shooting one. The pano is cool, but the other has loads of character.

You can email me if I'm not around. I'll send you a working email address. I dumped my landline so lost that email.

Do you still have the negative?

[Jamie Holladay]

Jamie, I think we need to see some scanned cheer pictures.
:shock: I don't know so much about that. We will see.
Yes. Yes we do.
see above
Wait....you were in Cheering? :shock: Do tell. Was it like the Spartan Cheerleader skits of SNL? :D Insert SNL Skit here....couldn't find any on YouTube.
No I was a full fledged College Cheerleader. Cheering is a sport, trust me it is a lot of hard work and requires strength and technique.

do you have the scanner on the highest resolution possible?

[3Turner]

During the Winter, we heat by burning peat and buffalo dung. Summer time is when we just run down to the river and go for a soak, which is nice because we can club fish for dinner while we're there.

Ah, Oregon.You must spend a fortune in air freshners or came immune to the stench.

Night all.

[cfpackerfan]

Do you still have the negative?Yes I do, but no longer have access to a darkroom. :(

do you have the scanner on the highest resolution possible?Yes. But the picture won't lay flat. The mat board makes it hang over the edges, and the edges are raised.


Great shot Cat...even with the scan. Have you tried taking a picture of the picture?
I hadn't thought of that....

[wu_wei0]

As a fat old fart, I can still put my hands flat on the ground with my feet shoulder width apart, keeping my legs straight. (Getting back up is another story ;))


I can still put my hands flat on the ground with my feet together. Someone asked me how the heck I could do that. I told them the fat keeps one limber from the inside. I could do it a couple years ago when I was skinnier too, however. Not sure how much good it does to have that talent, however. Too bad it isn't a marketable skill. I don't have any of those, it seems.:lol::lol:

[3Turner]

great idea! Seriously, that's brilliant...because then you can adjust it at a much higher resolution than your scanner! give the snoik a cigar!

Can you scan the neg? I have done it with decent results.

[BearLeeAlive]

Thanks for the color, Jim :)
For you dear dragon, the whole rainbow. :D
Yeah...well, sitting down I can to that too.:rolleyes:

Would a better scanner help. That sure is a sweet photo of her, though not my favourite. :D

That's what I did when I did not have a scanner.

:oops: don't know about brilliant.

[cfpackerfan]

My scanner doesn't do negatives. And I haven't invested in one yet. There was a time when I had several in my B&H cart just waiting to choose between them. I don't know what happened. *shrug*

[3Turner]

Fart Smeller, you are. :lol:
In this bar I am not the only one when you let loose :p :lol: Just saying. Haven't you noticed the open windows and dragon hatch? :lol:

Nevermind. I can't size it to a 4x6 and still have it look ok anyway.
We'll choose a different one.
Thanks for all the suggestions anyway.

Night sleepy peoples.

[JWright]

Done that. MANY times. I think I may actually uninstall it, and reinstall it.

Checked. More than once. *shrugs*

Yeah, for some reason, I can't click on camera settings. I'm going to try to download an update.

Thanks for looking that up for me John. I'm not sure what version I have (too lazy to go search for it in the workroom). I'll see what happens after I download an update.

I thought of something else... There is also a WIA (whatever that means) driver that has to be installed so the computer can recognize the camera. Perhaps this is your problem. The driver should show up in the Add-Remove Programs dialog in the Control Panel (Windows machine.) If it's not there then it needs to be installed.

[cfpackerfan]

Yeah, this is frustrating...
I downloaded the latest EOS utility. Installed.

I can open it on its own, but only the folder option is available.
If I turn on my camera, the window disappears.
If I have my camera on, I can't open the utility.

Grr.

Nope, doesn't look like I have that.

I'm going to bed. Blech.

Hasta tamale.

It should be on the same disc that the EOS Utility is on..

G'night... Try it again when you're fresh.

Night Cat. I am happy to kick stuff for you if needed.

Right here Mister:evil: Well done on the biting, now had Terri or Cat said it, fair game.

also, some of these actions (on the right side of the page there are 3 actions links) look nice

http://coffeeteaphotography.blogspot.com/2008/04/free-coffeeshop-b-actions.html

(especially the espresso/hot cocoa/creamy toffee latte/coffee with cream...those look very nice)

Were you googling coffee at the time...?? :D

Night all.

This raised a vision in my head that should never be allowed to surface again....

[Becky N]

G'MAE all, woke up at 3:30 coughing. Came downstairs so as not to disturb Curt, couldn't stop coughing. So came in here to catch up. Of course now that the alarm is due to go off in 10 minutes, I've stopped coughing and my eyes are slamming shut. :rolleyes:

Cat hope you get your camera named today.

[Pete]

Huh? We're naming our cameras now?

Hmmmmm...

[BearLeeAlive]

It's 4:00 here and I have been up for an hour now. I will likely be knackered by the end of the golf tournament I am in today, that is sponsored by one of our suppliers. Of course, I won't be drinking at all. :rolleyes:

You must be getting quite the selection of golf balls by now. :D
Though it does look like you have quite a buffer of trees between you and the golf course.

We have a tee right behind us, so it would take a complete idiot to slice it that much.

It's an expensive course, so relatively idiot-free... :D

I could be that idiot, I'm not the best of golfers, mostly do these fun tourney's. :D Though a 50m slice straight right might be even out of my league. ;)
I would like it there, not much for water hazards. :p

[Becky N]

I squeezed in another 20 minutes of sleep, now I'm clean, shining and all caught up. Since it quiet, think I'll catch up on some newspapers.

Jim enjoy your golf day. Been years since I've picked up my clubs, funny, don't really have any urge to either. Hope I never get that way with my camera.:D

The best thing about sponsored tournaments is you don't have to pay for the balls.... Water hazards hold no fear for me (if I am not paying for my own balls)

Yeah...uh huh...I know you only did it to hit on the ladies :lol: :p
Well that was a nice perk and I did have 2 beautiful partners. I was the smallest on the squad and I got the petitest girls, Lucky Me. Of course there was this one time at Cheer Camp <said in the best american pie> that shanon and i were stunting together. She was an inch taller and the same weight. That proved interestig. Of course not as interesting as when Tracy dropped her because he had a erm...ummmm.... hygene product in his hand.

Hola hola, Deb...

[thomascanty]

Hi, Cat. *squeals, jumps up and down, parcels out massive hugs*

Hi, Wu. *squeals, jumps up and down, parcels out massive hugs*

I didn't need to see that. Really... I didn't...

Yup. Painful.

You misspelled "impossible". ;)

I'm terrified of my impending power bill! This thing runs all the time and seldom gets above 80. You'd think a 1 br apt would get cool eventually. I am thankful I finally have A/C in my vehicle!

Wu! Where ya been?

Funny thing about power bills... Since I moved to the desert, mine has gone down. Quite drastically, even. This time last year, my electricity bill was about $200. I just made the payment for this past month yesterday -- $46.49... And that's the highest bill I've had here, yet.

I'd probably have to buy the upgrade... I haven't used it in so long my current license has probably run out.

Your license never expires for the version you bought. I have v1.3 on this computer. It's a few years old, but it can read the EXIF from a 40D file just fine.

I have a problem.

We can put a 4x6 photo of Cara on the headstone.

I can't help you, but for some reason I'm all teary-eyed again...

Then... As I typed this, Tupper and Kitteh both simultaneously attacked a bird's shadow as it flitted across the blinds in front of the balcony's sliding glass door, and I laughed my butt off.

Yeah... Furkids. Gotta love 'em, huh?

Yeah, this is frustrating...
I downloaded the latest EOS utility. Installed.

I installed everything from the CD that came with my 40D on this old, soon to be removed computer. The EOS Utility program is nowhere to be found. As a test, I also installed everything on a test computer at work. That PC got a half dozen other programs in the "Canon Utilities" menu, including EOS Utility. So, I tried again at home, but went into the custom install menu instead, so I could pick and choose what to install. The EOS Utility program isn't even listed as an option! :confused:

I have BreezeBrowser Pro V. 1.6.2 and it shows all the information for the 40D RAW files with no problem. It just doesn't show whether Highlight Tone Priority was turned on or not... I'm thinking I may have to install DPP and see if that will read it.

Maybe it's time to get rid of that old computer... How old is it?

I installed the WIA driver, EOS Utility and the Picture Style Editor on my computer (new in 2004) and was able to name the camera with no problems at all.
