sorry its been awhile guys...caught up with work


I'm a camp counselor for a summer camp;), I take care of little ones brats:(

and I also work for the photographer I last mentioned and have some some pretty cool stuff

[Jamie Holladay]

Has anyone noticed that it is just us guys tonight. All the girls seem to have disappeared. Of course Cat, Lisa and Becky are away but where are the rest of the gurls?

[Maxed Out]

Yep. Me, T.D. & Pete and a few more but I figure those are the ones you know off hand.

Good to see you havn't seen you in a while.

So what inspired your guys inspiration of modhood?


and what exactly do they do?

that is good to hear that you are working and working with the photog. Share some of your stuff Max!

[Jamie Holladay]

So what inspired your guys inspiration of modhood?
I woke up one day with a bigger Avatar. It just kinda happened.

[3Turner]

Hiya Max, what have you been up too?

There were quite a few. I wished that I had felt better and had arrived earlier. I would have been like a kid in a candy store. I could have taken my time and got some nice details.

We are having a show at work sometime in August so I am sure I'll have the opportunity then. At least I hope I don't - I'd rather be slammed in my office selling cars, but I bet I'll get to do plenty of shooting.
Good then....looking forward to some classic car shots in August *notes in calendar*.

It's not that heavy. It's a Class 1 hitch for a Suzuki Sidekick.
Oh...must not be too heavy then. The one I had for my Jeep Liberty weighs about 10 to 12 lbs. Serious toe damage if dropped. :lol:

[3Turner]

Oops....right after I post.:|

So camp counselor huh? Have you seen anyone with a hockey mask and ax yet? :lol:

[Maxed Out]

that is good to hear that you are working and working with the photog. Share some of your stuff Max!

working with the photog just started last week so no stuff

all I've done is another wedding which I'm still working on. I've been too busy with work.

[Maxed Out]

I woke up one day with a bigger Avatar. It just kinda happened.

So what responsibilities does a mod like you have?

Oops....right after I post.:|

So camp counselor huh? Have you seen anyone with a hockey mask and ax yet? :lol:

I've been dreaming of being that guy:rolleyes:


It's really a good job though, 9-5pm/M-F/40 Hours/$7 untaxed:D, I keep the bad ones in line and make sure no one steals them.:lol:

[Jamie Holladay]

So what responsibilities does a mod like you have?
Just regular Mod stuff (move threads that don't belong etc), I really don't know a good way to explain. My areas of concentration are M'sports and Trans.

nice, at least you got the best section;)

[Jamie Holladay]

I don't know if it is the best or not, but they are the share forums I enjoy the most.

[T.D.]

MAXIMUS! What's new?!

[mtnphtgrphr]

Thanks very much.

Not that I was pleased with. Like I said in the Trans post, I was under the weather and did not want to be there. I made myself get out of the house. I wanted to shoot the fireworks and I had to get there to find a decent park and spot. So I walked down Broad Street, which was extremely crowded and shot a few. I was so off on the other stuff. I could not get my DOF right for all the money in the bank. So we will just leave the rest on the XD.

I assume you are feeling better now?

It's not that heavy. It's a Class 1 hitch for a Suzuki Sidekick.



That's nice...

There's an antique gas and steam engine museum near hear that has a lot of old trucks. There's a hood ornament I have to shoot every time I go there...

Here's (http://johnwright.smugmug.com/gallery/2717351_Rw98y#144065941_JH3nh) the whole gallery. I have more from another visit sitting in Lightroom that haven't been processed yet...

This is also the location where the local Civil War reenactments (http://johnwright.smugmug.com/gallery/4485639_CH5vw#263892864_RuL7e)are held. There's another reenactment this weekend, so I may have more shots (If I go).

Yes you are. I have proof. Besides you have been popping in and out. You have not even offered to pour a round. Some bar tender you are. BTW Max is under age and not allowed to drink. Don't let his long eye lashes and kind tone convince you otherwise.

[Jamie Holladay]

That wasn't Jenbert's statement... that was Jamie's!!! HE's ignoring me now! SHEESH!
No I wasn't I had typing to do else where.

[mtnphtgrphr]

WHY should I pour a round... when I'm not even noted as being here?!?! And just why oh why is it the WOMAN'S job?!!?!? SHEESH! Men can't do anything for themselves. :rolleyes:

[mtnphtgrphr]

No I wasn't I had typing to do else where.


Oh yes... Mod duties I'm sure :rolleyes:;):p

Well, it all seems ok. Other than the new header, nothing seems different at all.

To get colour managment, you have to install an 'experimental' addon. I have on two computers and all has been fine.

Do a google search for firefox color (or colour) management and look for the mozilla addons site - I think it's about the second or third link. There's a page to test the managment at http://www.color.org/version4html.xalter

[Pete]

Hi there Mark.

no, you don't need a special addon to enable colour management.

Look here, it's just an advanced setting

Just an update dor those who were going to do the $2.99 photo cards offer from Artscow.com posted a few days ago. . . Code still working as of this morning. Use Paypal to check out. Most US Credit Cards restrict purchase to Hong Kong companies due to past fraud problems so they will likely decline the card.

I haven't gottne an order yet, but folks that I know who have were pleased with it all.

Yes, the addon would have enabled it for you, Jim.

Did you notice the warning when you went in to set/check the parameter within Firefox rather than via the addon? Looks like Terri and her kind have been trapped in the machines :shock:

Hope it's not catching - Nathan's due to go on camp witht he Cub Scouts this weekend - they're doing a 14 mile figure of 8 walk over two days :shock:

[BearLeeAlive]

How's Nathan's legs doing Mark? Fine, I hope. :D
14 miles is normally not too much over two days.

Thanks, Jim. Yes, his legs are doing fairly well since the Botox injections last month. He has a lot more flexibility in his heels etc - now it's a case of making sure that he exercises them - 14 miles should do that nicely. They do have checkpoints all along the route so if anyone can't manage it, they can be taken back to the campsite.

Hi Bobert.

[3Turner]

Hi Mark....I think a 14 mile walk will do very well for his legs too....however, I probably wouldn't make it. I'd be stopping too often taking pictures probably and then by the end of the 2nd day they would say lets go after only maybe 7 miles :lol:.

[BearLeeAlive]

I've done a few 14 mile hikes with a full pack on my back with a weeks gear, though this was many, many years ago. Two summers ago, I did just over 10 miles with a full pack (and camera gear) with lots of elevation gain, and it almost killed me. :D

Hey Firefox users!!!!

Version 3 is out and it supports colour ;) management!

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6891 (hope that link works, I had to log in as it's and 'experimental' plugin at present)

Sounds good. I did not know there was a V3.0 of Firefox out. I guess it is not an upgrade then, but a whole new version? If I were to load it would it use all my settings, bookmarks, add-ons, and the such?

Wow, Firefox V3.0 sure does seem a whole lot faster for me. :D

I've started off on the beta version of firefox 3 a good few months ago. It is much better/faster than the previous version. Good stuff

[Skrim17]

I started with the beta as well but haven't tried to download the 'new' version.

[Pete]

I just tried the new version here on my Windows PC. I don't like it as much as IE7 - it's trying to be too pretty for my taste and I don't like what it does to my fonts (web pages are harder to read).

Although, saying that, I've got it on my Mac and like it there (I found a skin that I liked).

[Harm]

Hahahaha, this add-on is for the crazy...

Hey I finally fixed my Pc ...yay pats self on back :)

Where has Crissa been? or have I not been reading all .A pic of
Terri and intrestling enough Permi 's name was there in this .lol


LOL!

We get to see Terri tomorrow!! Can't wait.

G'mae all. Getting started here with a sick kid :( he was supposed to go on an ice skating trip with camp but has been up all night vomiting and such...yay.

It could've been worse.... he could've puked on the ice rink... Still... that might've kinda cool...

Thanks, Jim. Yes, his legs are doing fairly well since the Botox injections last month. He has a lot more flexibility in his heels etc - now it's a case of making sure that he exercises them - 14 miles should do that nicely. They do have checkpoints all along the route so if anyone can't manage it, they can be taken back to the campsite.

Is there a checkpoint after 100 yards or so? That's when I would need that trip back....

I've done a few 14 mile hikes with a full pack on my back with a weeks gear, though this was many, many years ago. Two summers ago, I did just over 10 miles with a full pack (and camera gear) with lots of elevation gain, and it almost killed me. :D

I think I pulled a muscle just reading that.

Went out early this morning to catch the sunrise at the Oregon Dunes.... Very pretty out there, hopefully some of the shots will represent that.... Lisa's shots were very nice.

G'MAE, All.

A little late but here is another Firework shot and more can be seen in THIS GALLERY (http://jhp.smugmug.com/gallery/5380749_WveY4#329570161_XDNN6). I got a wild hair and did some editing tonight.
Watch those wild hairs, Jamie :) They can lead to trouble sometimes!
Something else from the 4th. More my style ;) A few more HERE (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=534595).

Interestingly, last night. I had a dream I chained my bicycle to the top of a snow cone stand, thinking it would be safe. I came back to find the chain cut through and pieces of the bike missing.

Can't wait until the kiddo can fit into a helmet. Then I can strap him to the back of my bike and go.

I've been toying with the idea of picking up a bicycle again to get some excercise. I really liked riding years ago, but where we live now, there's not a lot of good biking areas.

There aren't any good biking areas here, either. The speed limits on the roads around here run from 50 to 65mph, and I sure wouldn't feel safe with freeway speed traffic whipping by me as I pedal along on the side of the road.

I have plenty of 5,000' and taller mountains as close as six miles from where I live, though. I think hiking is the best choice for exercise here...

It's a monster. The 9x12 Intuos 3... I'm pretty sure that's it. Very nice size, but it kills the space on your desk. It's very nice. Perfect for what I do with it.

I am so sorry. I had braces twice and it is no fun. Swish with some warm saltwater and take some Motrin. That should help a lot. Also make sure you stick to a soft food diet. Warm soups should feel good to your teeth. Avoid anything that requires chewing for a few more days. I hate to tell you that the worse is yet to come. Once the braces get on though the only pain you really have is maybe 24 hours after your monthly adjustment. May I ask you why you are getting braces? The second time I had mine it was a prep for surgery. My first ortho messed my bite up so much in order to fix it to stop the TMJ pain I had to have my jaw broken in 4 places and reset. Not fun but it was the best thing I have ever done!

[Guineh]

That's what I'd like to get, but desk space may be an issue with that size of tablet. I'm thinking the 6x8 might fit my desk better, but I worry that it may not seem much bigger. The 4x5 has been great for what I do with it, but it would be nice to have the extra area (and the precision that goes with it)

[puddlepirate44]

I never had braces. When I was a kid, it was an option as my teeth are a little crooked. The dentist told my dad who then replied, "Why? you planning a trip to the Bahamas?"

Yeah, he was a cynic. :D

[theague]

I need braces because my teeth impact each other in the front. Instead of having an overbite they come down edge to edge. My main front biting teeth are chipped and messed up looking. I will look for a photo so you can see. lol So I need braces to correct the bite, then some cosmetic dentistry to make the appearance better. Should be good to go in about a year and a half. :) lol

The precision is the reason why I wanted to get a bigger tablet. The smaller ones wouldn't have worked at all, unfortunately.

Yeah, it looks gruesome, doesn't it? It actually wasn't the worst coaster there (Sheikra), oh and there = Busch Gardens. The worst one was Montu, with about 7 inversions. I came off with a headache from that one, from my head banging off the safety harness thing. As for the one pictured. I didn't get a "fast" shot of the coaster as you see people dangling down there. Basically, your feet are loose and hanging down, when you go up the beginning, it is such a tight climb, that you're thinking "oh f***, what have i got myself into". Then after that, you go around the top and it looks like it is about to drop....and it stops....so you're at the front, and you're dangling down for about 5-10 seconds, then it just drops....hahaha, great fun, and there is a 2nd smaller vertical drop. Still bloody good fun. I some good shots of it on my external drive at home, I'll put some more on here for you to throw up your dinner later on.

Nice. I did my first wet clean on a 2 month old 40D, not scary at all, and in fact is better than what it was beforehand. Bloody stubborn sensor snot. I think I still have a rogue spec that wouldn't go away last time, so maybe this weekend I'll give it another clean and hope it all goes away.

Actually I quite enjoy coasters. The worst I had been on was one called Mr Freeze at 6 flags in Arlington. It's one of the ones that had a linear motor at the beginning to catapult the ride into action. It goes straight up a tower at the end, and eventually returns backwards to the beginning. It was a short ride, but very fast and extremely high acceleration. I wasn't feeling to good before I got on it, so I might have enjoyed it more had a felt better.

I was given an Intuos 9X12, one of the old serial connection ones. It needs a new cord and I could get it repaired for less than the cost of a new one but since I don't really need it I'm holding off. I'm going to see if the new version of Lightroom supports tablets, then I might get it fixed.

I'm working through the infrared shots from my trip right now, and I find it odd that in them, the blue channel always looks the best. But, it's infrared photography. Isn't it supposed to be all about the reds?Things react differently to different wavelengths (no surprise). But the "blue" pixels will get less non-IR since IR and blue wavelengths are furthest apart.

Why? I've always heard that, but I never understood why...It's called the "Wood Effect" - live, healthy chlorophyll is a very good IR reflector. Wood, BTW, was a person, it's not referring to tree trunks.

Same way night vision goggles work. They look for a heat source. IR photography captures the heat reflected back. Dead vegetation has no warmth. Live trees and grass do. That's why they come out snow white in an IR photo.Not exactly. Thermal IR's at a way different wavelength than what you're photographing. By the time you picked up the heat emitted by an object on photographic IR, it'd be about to burst into flames. Thermal IR is down in the 300-400K range, not the 2300-2600K of near IR. It's, as noted above, the Wood Effect, the way chlorophyll and healthy plant matter reflect incoming IR.

If you ever get the Intuos hooked up, you'll love it. Mine is an intuos, just a small one. The biggest issue I'm having is when I lift off the pad my hands get a bit shaky (Thank God I'm not a surgeon ...) which, if the tip still has a tiny bit of pressure can cause a selection to draw improperly, or move something that I didn't want moved. I often wind up resorting to the mouse when things require a steady release.

I might just spring for the monster and see if I can cram it on my desk. ;)

So I've been learning, and I'm now more confused than ever. When I first started experimenting with IR seven or eight years ago, I remember reading some web pages and forum posts (here and elsewhere). I vaguely remember the heat radiated IR being mentioned numerous times. The photos I got with my converted 10D last week don't always jive with what my memory is telling me I read back then...

I have more experimenting to do.

I have been enjoying cragganmore lately. Very smooth, almost caramel flavor. I haven't read the tasting notes on it to know if that's in there but that's how it comes across to me. I had a special edition Laphroaig that I also got in Edinburgh last year. That was amazing. Bottle 290 of 291. ;)

Jammy little so-and-so....best i got to try out was when I went to visit my mate up in aberdeen....we went on a whisky tasting tour...

I think there were 6 distilleries within 10 miles of his house..

Yeah Aberdeen is a good area for it. We didn't do that but I would like to. I have friends in Aberdeen as well.
