[Jamie Holladay]

Hey Jamie ..hows Jamie today ?
I am good just hanging out at the house hoping the rain passes so that I can go shoot something.
Hi Bobert and Jamie
Hey Mark.

[Jamie Holladay]

OOOOPS

I did not MQ the balloon shots Dan but I meant to tell you: VERY NICE!

[Miniflash]

Robert I think you asked me if I buy alot of flowers or are they in my yard ..kinda some of it all I have a few in my yard , some in pots on the deck and I buy flowers and get flowers as gifts :) everyone here knows I shoot flowers up close and personal :)

[mtnphtgrphr]

a little bit but I like the OLD Jenn better

Thanks! :D I think.... hehehehe.... but Doooood if you're saying OLD as in age old... you're older than me just sayin' ;)

[Miniflash]

I am good just hanging out at the house hoping the rain passes so that I can go shoot something.

Well that would be nice its overcast here but no rain yet :)
I'm going to lunch soon and then maybe I"ll shoot some flowers for fun haha .

[mtnphtgrphr]

It's actually beautiful and sunny here.... I'm thinking I might take the boys out somewhere naturey later.... See what we can find to get into.... Depends on howI feel and how they act! ;)

[Miniflash]

Who ya feel huh ..lol Jenn

[Jamie Holladay]

Well Faye is paying us a visit.

[Miniflash]

Sometimes who ya feel is all that matters :)

[Mgdh]

Sounds like you might of learned through experience :)

I have had a few HD's fail on me - but normally they gave me warning. I've never actually lost anything to a HD crash YET - although I know it will happen one day. They are mechanical devices and any mechanical device WILL fail - it's just a question of when.

[Jamie Holladay]

Sometimes who ya feel is all that matters :)
[zand] yes yes it does[/zane]

[3Turner]

Hi Mark.:)
I have all my RAW files on an EHD but I haven't been keeping all the processed jpegs etc. Now I'm burning DVD's of the lot and I may even copy those DVD's and keep the copies in the drawer at work.

I don't actually delete the contents of my CF cards until I have a copy on the main system drive AND on the EHD
You get a lot more extensive than me. I am just backing up the RAWs...I haven't thought about the JPEGs yet.

Chris you signed a confidentiality contract remember.
Well, it's not confidential anymore is it. :lol:

Robert I think you asked me if I buy alot of flowers or are they in my yard ..kinda some of it all I have a few in my yard , some in pots on the deck and I buy flowers and get flowers as gifts :) everyone here knows I shoot flowers up close and personal :)
Ahh, I was actually picturing your house full of flowers and your deck with like 20 pots of flowers :lol:

[Jamie Holladay]

Well I think I am going to get some lunch and then go up to the falls. The water should be running well right now and afford me the opportunity for some shots.

[Miniflash]

Yep Mark your right on that one I was a toolmaker for 20 yrs and know how often this statement proved to be true :) Machines break ..humans make mistakes ..must be a universal law

[Jamie Holladay]

Well, it's not confidential anymore is it. :lol:
Certainly not. But logic should tell everyone that it could not be me. Most of the titles are spelled correctly.

[Miniflash]

Ahh, I was actually picturing your house full of flowers and your deck with like 20 pots of flowers :lol:
Well I wish Robert :) more like potted a few plants that struggle to survive and overgrown yard filled with sweet peas and once in a while a flower vase with one or two flowers in it ..hahaha ..
Maybe I should request the local florist to let me photograph the flowers they have ..lol I could walk the green houses :)

[Miniflash]

Well I think I am going to get some lunch and then go up to the falls. The water should be running well right now and afford me the opportunity for some shots.
Sounds perfect Jamie have fun!

[Mgdh]

Sometimes who ya feel is all that matters :)

Yeah...just a little TMI on feeling up people ;) :lol:

[Jamie Holladay]

Yeah...just a little TMI on feeling up people ;) :lol:
You just had to quote that didn't you. I ignored it the first time. I am trying to do it again. *steps away from barn door*

[Jamie Holladay]

Off to the falls. Be back laters.

[3Turner]

Well I think I am going to get some lunch and then go up to the falls. The water should be running well right now and afford me the opportunity for some shots.
Later Jamie, have fun.

Certainly not. But logic should tell everyone that it could not be me. Most of the titles are spelled correctly.
:lol: All that is done is copy and paste ;) So it can still be you as per T.D. :p

Hey, good idea. Go to the florist, ask to take some pictures there, print, frame and hang on the wall there...wait for money to start coming to you ;).

[mtnphtgrphr]

Who ya feel huh ..lol Jenn

Well.......... *gaaaaaah* Just had to miss a typo didn't I!?!?!

Well Faye is paying us a visit.

Wish Faye would pay us a visit.... it's SOOOOOOOOOOOO dry here.... The dirt roads have laid a layer of dust all over the plant life on the sides of the roads.... it's wild looks like volcanic ash all over the green stuff on the sides of dirt roads around here....

Sometimes who ya feel is all that matters :)

I would.... *gaaaaaaaaaaaah* Never mind!!!!! ;)

[zand] yes yes it does[/zane]

http://img84.echo.cx/img84/8427/tongue00154kq.gif He who spells not well is in on pickin' on me and my typo!!!! just sayin' ;)

And yeah you just HAD to quote my TYPO huh!?!?!?!? Sheeeeeeeesh!

[3Turner]

And yeah you just HAD to quote my TYPO huh!?!?!?!? Sheeeeeeeesh!
:lol: Yep....but then, is it a typo or a sub-conscience slip of the tongue? errr....finger :p :lol:

[mtnphtgrphr]

:lol: Yep....but then, is it a typo or a sub-conscience slip of the tongue? errr....finger :p :lol:

Evil I say.... you are Evil!!!!! No wonder you were incarnated as a Snake in TR!!!!! :twisted::twisted::twisted: Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh!!!!!!!!!!!

I know not what you speak of....I am a gentle kind hearted snake ;)

[misspix]

Nite, Terri!

don't worry, we'll get you and Frank up here for the balloons!
Tis a date!
Okay everyone, after seeing all your superb photos today, I am a bit shy to put up my attempts. But here goes.....
First one is from the car show.
Second shot is just a quick pic of the town that the motorcycly rally was held in.

Nice cars and bikes, Paula. Car shows are challenging, to say the least! Love the old bike!

g'night fellow non-hacks (howzat Terri ;) )!! I'm going to drag myself up for the balloons tommorow (though it looks like today would have been the best day for it
Zat is good Lisa ;)
Panning with an AT-301 Air Tractor....practice for me for the airshow.

Niiiiiiiiiiiiice!

Love them. I really like this guy concentrating on what he is doing.

I am back from a night hustling video. I scooped a story. No one else caught it on the radio because it was really hush hush on the police radio and fire rescue, which most stringers monitor, were not needed. I heard the officer yelling shots fired and then they did most stuff by phone. Apparently an ex-cop shot his girl friend and police shot him. So far 3 stations have aired it on their morning shows and I expect to get all 5. Leyla did a ride along and was a trooper staying up though is snoring now.
Thanks and congrats on the scoop!
Guess who I saw at the airport yesterday...


*swoon*

TERRI - You know I love your nature shots not only for the content but, the way you bring a piece of your world into mine.

Do you have these on your equipment list?

Oh stop, we'll never tire of seeing them. I have the gallery up to look at when I'm done typing, here.

GA! @ your crash :shock: glad to have you back!

Thank you for your kind comments, Becky, made me kinda mushy :o The feeling is mutual.
*clears throat before Hallmark moment commences*

I just may add my 'pods to my list, ROFL!

PAULA - I meant to suggest that if your daughter insists on tagging along, you lay down the rules that it is OK, but no whining and that you won't be leaving until you're done taking the shots you want to take. It is your trip and you plan to take your time and work on getting your shots...I have to do this with Curt, believe it or not, when I decide to do a nature walk. Sometimes he will bow out due to time constraints. Otherwise he goes along and doesn't exhale loudly when I stop to shoot a weed.

You need to be able to concentrate on your shots and discover what you enjoy shooting, otherwise you're going to become frustrated. Can't be worried about someone else's impatience.
Good words, my friend!
GAAAAAAA! Zombie Spiders!! What next? Zombies are taking over the world, I'm telling you!
:eek:
Hi Deb >>>>>>Waving at Deb from over here http://www.feebleminds-gifs.com/bdy3.gif
This hand freaks me out.
Sometimes who ya feel is all that matters :)
Truth!


G'mae, just a quick pop in, I am going to find out if I remember how to ride a bike today :shock:

[puddlepirate44]

GAAAAAAA! Zombie Spiders!! What next? Zombies are taking over the world, I'm telling you!

Gads. Those zombies, I tell ya, they just don't know when to die.

http://www.feebleminds-gifs.com/bdy3.gif

Ah, yes. The disembodied hand. Yeah, that's not creepy at all.

*swoon*

Didja see Permie flying in the back? :D

[thomascanty]

Didja see Permie flying in the back? :D

I did, but not at first. It took me a while to notice she was there, too.

[puddlepirate44]

The first Otis elevator installed in a private residence:
http://www.ldphotography.net/eeTravel/images/medium/Winchester_Mystery_House_059.jpg

TPBM uses the stairs.

Is that at Hearst Castle?

[thomascanty]

Is that at Hearst Castle?

Nope. Winchester Mystery House (http://www.winchestermysteryhouse.com/) in San Jose.

[Jamie Holladay]

They did not open the Park. :evil:

[thomascanty]

I think the temperature sensor I have out on the balcony has died. I noticed yesterday that it said the record low for the previous couple days was 8.6F. So, I reset it. This morning when I got home from work and checked it, it's telling me the overnight low was -3.3F. Somehow I just have a problem believing that... :rolleyes:

[3Turner]

Niiiiiiiiiiiiice!Thanks ;)

This hand freaks me out.Why? It's my hand :rolleyes: :lol:

Ah, yes. The disembodied hand. Yeah, that's not creepy at all.See Terri. :lol:

Didja see Permie flying in the back? :DI didn't think it was Permie....though that does make more sense that it is her instead of Mark :lol:

[mtnphtgrphr]

I know not what you speak of....I am a gentle kind hearted snake ;)

Yeah... ok whatever you want to believe JENbert!!!!:rolleyes::rolleyes:

They did not open the Park. :evil:

That sucks!!!!

[3Turner]

They did not open the Park. :evil:
That sucks....flood precautions?

What? You slept through the overnight Arctic snow storm? :lol:

[3Turner]

Yeah... ok whatever you want to believe JENbert!!!!:rolleyes::rolleyes:Okay.....*where's that tarantula shot.....clicking on picture folders*

[Jamie Holladay]

Yeah... ok whatever you want to believe JENbert!!!!:rolleyes::rolleyes:



That sucks!!!!
Yep
That sucks....flood precautions?


What? You slept through the overnight Arctic snow storm? :lol:
No there were mud puddles and the animals were in their shelters instead of being visiable. All I wanted to do is walk down and shot the freaking falls. The animals were of no intrest to me. JEEEEEEEEZE.

[thomascanty]

What? You slept through the overnight Arctic snow storm? :lol:

Apparently so... :rolleyes:

It sure did warm back up into the 90's pretty quick, too.

[3Turner]

Apparently so... :rolleyes:

It sure did warm back up into the 90's pretty quick, too.
Well, don't go out with those drastic temperature changes. You could catch a cold.

[Mgdh]

I'll have a pink lemonade, please.

Why doesn't that surprise me!

Will there be a 3rd book?

Ye...

It's looking very likely, yes.

Thanks, Pete! ;)

Yeah, I bet....maybe they make them garbage for a reason, so you end up buying more things from them....they recalled the 1st battery set because they were too good eh?




I never noticed that until I looked at my battery power...on the IBM ThinkPad i have, you can click on the battery symbol on the taskbar at the bottom, and it shows you different things you can change to make your battery last longer. I usually have my laptop at "pretty bright - to very bright", which just sucks all the power out...good for looking at photos, but simple text things and quick emails? drop it down a couple of notches and you'll more than double the time it takes to die on you.

Dell had to recall some Sony batteries - apparently they were busting into flame while charging.... :shock:

I didn't know either of those things either. Must be why my crappy photo made it in. :lol:

Your shots were great, Kody - they made it in on merit. It's mine that obviously deserved that description as none made it in this time...


I didn't think it was Permie....though that does make more sense that it is her instead of Mark :lol:

:shock::shock:

[Permagrin]

for those that don't catch up on RRTP


Balloon collision this morning (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showpost.php?p=6168460&postcount=796) (no casualties)

[3Turner]

Nice capture Lisa.

[mtnphtgrphr]

Here's some Dan-esque (PP44) shot I did recently..... HERE (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showpost.php?p=6168505&postcount=807)

[3Turner]

Here's some Dan-esque (PP44) shot I did recently..... HERE (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showpost.php?p=6168505&postcount=807)
Yes, yes they are. Like em all....what is that last one by the way? Honey?

[mtnphtgrphr]

Yes, yes they are. Like em all....what is that last one by the way? Honey?
Thanks!!!! I'm quite pleased with them myself! :D
That last one I don't know what it is... they had already talked about that by the time I had arrived... it looked like it was honey but it also had granuals in it of some sort.... like sugar? So I'm not sure....

[3Turner]

I only figured honey since that's what the bottle ends up looking like on my pantry shelf if we don't eat it fast enough.

[Miniflash]

Later Jamie, have fun.


:lol: All that is done is copy and paste ;) So it can still be you as per T.D. :p


Hey, good idea. Go to the florist, ask to take some pictures there, print, frame and hang on the wall there...wait for money to start coming to you ;).
My thoughts exactly ..:)

[Miniflash]

AMEN to that, sister!!:lol: :o :o :lol: :o :o

[Miniflash]

JennI liked your Dan shots nice detail :) It's fun to shot too isn't it?

[Becky N]

I posted a picture of a butterfly for my friend (that I mentioned a couple of days ago) in honor of her son who was still born 6 years ago..... Here's the picture I shared with her...

Here was her response to my picture....

*lump rising in throat, tear welling in eyes* Absolutely a brillant picture and idea, Jenn. You done real good.:)

Thank you for the suggestion Becky. She doesn't always go along, but I let her yesterday as her boyfriend just broke up with her and I hated seeing her sit around the house all depressed. The good part though is that she shared in the driving with me, so I could get a nap.

Understandable, I'd of done the same...nice side benefit too.:D

I think I saw that you've placed an order now - but do you folks have the Vostro line of Dell laptops over there?

No, have not ordered yet. Curt has not had the time to double check all the specs and my brother had been involved in a huge test all week at his job to find out what kind of deal he might be able to get.

Have not heard of the Vostro line.

I am good just hanging out at the house hoping the rain passes so that I can go shoot something.


Remanants of Fa....

Well Faye is paying us a visit.

...I see that it is. Have you recovered from last year's draught?

Certainly not. But logic should tell everyone that it could not be me. Most of the titles are spelled correctly.

:lol::lol::lol: with you.

So it can still be you as per T.D.

Except the titles came about long before T.D. and Jamie were Jr. Mods.

Well, don't go out with those drastic temperature changes. You could catch a cold.

GGgggggaaaaaaaaa....temperatures have nothing to do with colds, viruses and bacteria do....sorry, sometimes the medical background raises an ugly head.:evil:

for those that don't catch up on RRTP


Balloon collision this morning (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showpost.php?p=6168460&postcount=796) (no casualties)

WHOA, that is some catch, Permie. Did they just bump off each other? Glad no one was hurt. The fire potential is a scarey thought looking at that shot.

Here's some Dan-esque (PP44) shot I did recently..... HERE (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showpost.php?p=6168505&postcount=807)

Very nice, I like the flatware shot.


Speaking of details, I was outside with the 100 macro, actually looking for spiders, and I won't apoligize for that, when the thought occured to me what a great place to practice the detail shots, around our own homes. So I started doing that until I went by the hostas, the bees are all but swarming around them....off to see what I captured now.:D

[puddlepirate44]

Thank you for the suggestion Becky. She doesn't always go along, but I let her yesterday as her boyfriend just broke up with her and I hated seeing her sit around the house all depressed. The good part though is that she shared in the driving with me, so I could get a nap. :D

Wait, Tractor Boy broke up with your daughter? Ain't right.

[Miniflash]

FIRST:

Dan, the TR Olympics are AWESOME. Serious laughter here. Thank you so much for using your talent to fill our days with laughter.

SECOND:

I saw a LOT of really great shots posted and all of them were fantastic. You all are a great bunch of photographers, ya know that? ;)


Hey, Kit. I just made reservations. I'll be spending my birthday in St. George...WOO HOO!!!! I think we should start a POTN tradition... everyone spends their birthdays in St George. What do you say? I think it could be great.
Hear that Harm? Get your wife in the car for a little drive. I've got her party all planned out. ;) :p

I need a Cat fix.
OoOoOOo! Those are great. :D

Sorry it's a couple days late. Hope you didn't have to resort to drug use instead.

So I made up an elephant mask for Jasper to wear when she meets him, so maybe he could be a favourite of hers too. Jim, that is SO special.
I bet it's fantastic having your little girl home again. Hope she's doing well adjusting to the news about Grandpa. ((((((((Hugs)))))))

hey Cat! I got new shoes today. My shoes are Teva's... but they are VERY close to what you got. I'm glad you like them!

Did you guys see what that Hateful Hater Cat did??!! I just found this (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showpost.php?p=6155829&postcount=27).Some mod you are. LOL. I posted that DAYS ago. :lol:

[T.D.]

Hater Cat! Welcome Back! Sort of. :confused::mad::p

[Miniflash]

Hi ya CAt welcome back !! I've missed you ..did ya have fun ?

[cfpackerfan]

Hater Cat! Welcome Back! Sort of. :confused::mad::p :p You know you missed me. ;)

Hi ya CAt welcome back !! I've missed you ..did ya have fun ?Hi Deb! Those are some fantastic shots there. :D

We had a good time. It was a fairly short camp trip, and when we got home my parents were here, so we spent the evening and this morning with them.

My camera didn't come out of the bag even once, so sorry about that. No photographic evidence of Marian's campout. :lol:

[Becky N]

So here is a little rant from Crissa 's work place
I loved taking these ..they are such a gift

Deb, not only technically but just plain photographic, these are spectacular. Wow, flowers aren't your only specialty, for sure.

Hear that Harm? Get your wife in the car for a little drive. I've got her party all planned out.


:lol::lol::lol: And keep it a suprise.;)

[Becky N]

no photographic evidence of Marian's campout.

Any misplaced flower pedals?;)


Welcome back, always good to see you.

[JWright]

Great shots Paula. I like the Mustang shot and the old motorcycle. I think its a WW II Harley. Did you happen to look at the tag on the light to see what it is?

Nice Mustang Paula....and a couple of crazy bikes too...Looks like a 41 Indian Scout and a flathead Ford trike...not something you see every day.

Nice job on the scoop, Ace! Congrats on the morning show sweep, too. Will you get in on the Pulitzer?

PAULA: Nice shots! I especially like that shot of the WWII bike. (I agree with Wool, I think it's an Indian. I've always wanted one....)

I did a little looking around this morning and I'm thinking the bike is a Harley WLA that they made for the US Military during WWII. The guages look wrong for an Indian, at least from the pictures of Indian Scouts that I could find...

Guess who I saw at the airport yesterday...

http://lcimages.zenfolio.com/img/v1/p76213804-4.jpg

Didja see Permie flying in the back? :D

So Permie's a pilot too? You know those are usually flown from the back seat...

GAAAAAAA! Zombie Spiders!! What next? Zombies are taking over the world, I'm telling you!

Yeah, and most are in Washington, D.C... :rolleyes:

WOO HOO!!!! I think we should start a POTN tradition... everyone spends their birthdays in St George. What do you say? I think it could be great.
Hear that Harm? Get your wife in the car for a little drive. I've got her party all planned out. ;) :p

Crud! You mean I have to wait until next summer to come up?

[Jamie Holladay]

CATHY YOUR HOME!

John, I saw the sign in that plane that said solos were flown from the back seat. I thought of you when we saw these. They were navy planes.

[cfpackerfan]

Any misplaced flower pedals?;)


Welcome back, always good to see you. Thanks Becky... and no flower issues. :lol:


Crud! You mean I have to wait until next summer to come up? No way.. I think EVERYONE should come to St George for everyone's birthdays. :lol:

CATHY YOUR HOME!Yes, James. :D I'm home. I just finished catching up and reading my PMs. :D

[cfpackerfan]

OH!

For the record, I thought that was Mark in the backseat of the plane. :lol:

AND..

WELCOME TO OUR LITTLE CORNER, HEATHER! It's good to have you here!

[Woolburr]

I did a little looking around this morning and I'm thinking the bike is a Harley WLA that they made for the US Military during WWII. The guages look wrong for an Indian, at least from the pictures of Indian Scouts that I could find...


Did a bunch of looking last night...I wish I had bookmarked the page I finally found it on....but looking at the cylinder heads, the springs on the front tree and the exhaust outlets/frame extensions....it seems to be a 41 Indian Scout Military prototype....the cylinder heads are totally wrong for the Harley WLA...at least any that I found. Guess we need a road trip so we can give it a closer inspection....:lol:

[Miniflash]

You know you missed me.

Hi Deb! Those are some fantastic shots there. :D

We had a good time. It was a fairly short camp trip, and when we got home my parents were here, so we spent the evening and this morning with them.

My camera didn't come out of the bag even once, so sorry about that. No photographic evidence of Marian's campout. Thanks Cat :) sorry to hear you got no pics ..darn rats geez ..lol maybe next time ;)

Deb, not only technically but just plain photographic, these are spectacular. Wow, flowers aren't your only specialty, for sure.




:lol::lol::lol: And keep it a suprise.;)Becky thanks alot :) you sure know how to make me feel nice .

[Jamie Holladay]

Thanks Becky... and no flower issues. :lol:

No way.. I think EVERYONE should come to St George for everyone's birthdays. :lol:

Yes, James. :D I'm home. I just finished catching up and reading my PMs. :D
Yes but you did not wack zane with a fish.

[Miniflash]

Cat how is mom and Dad? Did Marian enjoy herself?
It was my sons Bday yesterday and I didnt get to see or talk to him ..he's on a mancation :)

[Becky N]

So Permie's a pilot too? You know those are usually flown from the back seat...

:oI sidn't even see Permie the pilot uniform distracted me, sawwy.:o

[Skrim17]

Deb those are GREAT shots, I am so glad you came and took pics!! Next time you'll have to dance tho!

[Miniflash]

Deb those are GREAT shots, I am so glad you came and took pics!! Next time you'll have to dance tho!You bet Crissa we can take turns you can shoot while I dance and vise versa ..We'd make a great team!:p

[Miniflash]

This hand freaks me out.



Ah, yes. The disembodied hand. Yeah, that's not creepy at all.

Glad I'm not the only one that was freaked out by that hand!!! Thought I was being a wimp so I didn't say anything when I first saw it. :o

Wait, Tractor Boy broke up with your daughter? Ain't right.
No, it's not right, but kids have such weird relationships now days. My daughter has since talked with him and well, I guess they aren't really broke up but kinda are or something like that:rolleyes::rolleyes: I don't get it at all......

So here is a little rant from Crissa 's work place
I loved taking these ..they are such a gift
Crissa is A big dance fan everyone wanted to dance with her :)

Precious pics! So sweet

I did a little looking around this morning and I'm thinking the bike is a Harley WLA that they made for the US Military during WWII. The guages look wrong for an Indian, at least from the pictures of Indian Scouts that I could find...


Did a bunch of looking last night...I wish I had bookmarked the page I finally found it on....but looking at the cylinder heads, the springs on the front tree and the exhaust outlets/frame extensions....it seems to be a 41 Indian Scout Military prototype....the cylinder heads are totally wrong for the Harley WLA...at least any that I found. Guess we need a road trip so we can give it a closer inspection....:lol:
Well, it was an interesting old thing, sorry I didn't keep the other shots I had of it, you might of gotten a better look although they were pretty dark.

[JWright]

John, I saw the sign in that plane that said solos were flown from the back seat. I thought of you when we saw these. They were navy planes.

I thought so... From what little I could see of the plane, it looked like a Stearman. When they were used for training new pilots, the student sat in the back seat and the instructor in the front. Solos are flown from the back seat because of weight and balance requirements and because there is a more complete set of instruments and controls in the back seat.

No way.. I think EVERYONE should come to St George for everyone's birthdays. :lol:

Cool! *starts looking at November's calendar*

OK. I'll concede this one. I didn't look at it in that much detail. I do know the WLA had the fish-tail exhausts...

[CrazieCricket]

ooooohhhhh very kewl bees Becky!

[Skrim17]

Cat does your family do a Memorial Day camping trip thingie?

[Miniflash]

John nice pic ..
Becky I love your bees ..would'nt catch me that close ..lol
Crissa ..good going ..you silly those are highlights ..not Grey hairs

[Jamie Holladay]

Thoughts? I'll not share mine.

[Miniflash]

purdy flower Jamie ..very nice

[CrazieCricket]

Pretty flowers Jamie, I like the top one bestest

[Jamie Holladay]

one more

[Miniflash]

Did you just take these today Jamie ?

[Jamie Holladay]

yep. not having the best photo day

[Miniflash]

They are real nice Jamie ..for not having a engine and going over 100mph :)

[Becky N]

Great shots Becky.

becky those are awesome!!

ooooohhhhh very kewl bees Becky!

Becky I love your bees ..would'nt catch me that close ..lol

Thank you all.

Thoughts? I'll not share mine.

2 over 1 for the sharpness, 3 nice composition...that said all 3 are wall worthy.

[Mgdh]

Come on he would need more than a cookie, maybe more something along the line of a straitjacket!!

:lol::lol:

I have a 6:00 AM ride :roll: I need to clean tack :gag: I will be in and out.

Hmm. Are you sure it was just the tack you had to clean?

one more

Jamie - all three are great but that third one is superb. Very Athena-ish!

[puddlepirate44]

WELCOME HOME, CAT!

So Permie's a pilot too? You know those are usually flown from the back seat...

Yup. Did that on purpose. :D

[3Turner]

GGgggggaaaaaaaaa....temperatures have nothing to do with colds, viruses and bacteria do....sorry, sometimes the medical background raises an ugly head.:evil:I know...just repeating an old wives tale that my mother always used to tell me when I'd go out during that type of weather.

So here is a little rant from Crissa 's work place
I loved taking these ..they are such a gift :)
Crissa is A big dance fan :) everyone wanted to dance with her :)
Great rant Deb. You shoulda danced too!

I did a little looking around this morning and I'm thinking the bike is a Harley WLA that they made for the US Military during WWII. The guages look wrong for an Indian, at least from the pictures of Indian Scouts that I could find...
OK. I'll concede this one. I didn't look at it in that much detail. I do know the WLA had the fish-tail exhausts...
I think you are onto something John....I admit I did not even bother to look last night, but I just did and it looks like a Harley WLC was what was pictured in Paula's shot...though the box (med kit?) is missing from the front wheel on Paula's shot like the shot on Wiki here (left side) : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harley-Davidson#World_War_II
It even has the cylinders looking like Paula's shot. Though, so does the WLA shot here on this page: http://www.motorcyclemuseum.org/classics/bike.asp?id=86
The Indian 841 had it's gauges in front of the handle bars, not on the tank like here: http://www.motorcyclemuseum.org/classics/bike.asp?id=72


For the record, I thought that was Mark in the backseat of the plane.
Whew! Glad I was not the only one who thought that.

The pollinators....
:lol: Nice rant...your title immediately reminded me of the Bee Movie with Pollen Jocks. :lol:

[puddlepirate44]

OH!

For the record, I thought that was Mark in the backseat of the plane. :lol:

The wing strut made it impossible to "see" Permie's mousey ears. :o

[3Turner]

Jamie, like the second one of the three overall due to the brighter yellow in the center, though like the 3rd one for its composition.

[3Turner]

The wing strut made it impossible to "see" Permie's mousey ears. :o
That's why I didn't pick up on it being her.;)

[Miniflash]

I knew it was Permi mouse because of the fashionable scarf and goggles :)

[T.D.]

John, here's a full version of the plane (very similar to the one you posted):

[short5]

Guess who I saw at the airport yesterday...

Cool!

I posted a picture of a butterfly for my friend (that I mentioned a couple of days ago) in honor of her son who was still born 6 years ago..... Here's the picture I shared with her...

Here was her response to my picture....That is really sweet Jen.

Balloon collision this morning (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showpost.php?p=6168460&postcount=796) (no casualties)Yikes

So here is a little rant from Crissa 's work place
I loved taking these ..they are such a gift :)

Great captures Deb

Yes but you did not wack zane with a fish.:p

I waited till you where here for this one Crissa I love this of you :)
Awww Crissums

The pollinators....

Nice workers:)

Thoughts? I'll not share mine.

one moreI like them a lot.

[3Turner]

John, here's a full version of the plane (very similar to the one you posted):
N3N-3 Canary :)

Who's that getting detail shots up front? Dan?

[wu_wei0]

Thoughts? I'll not share mine.No, please share. I'd like to know just what disappoints you about these. I think they are wonderful. Are you gonna tell me I'm wrong?

[T.D.]

N3N-3 Canary :)

Who's that getting detail shots up front? Dan?

Of course.

[cfpackerfan]

Yes but you did not wack zane with a fish.Ah, well, by the time I got here, his deed was cold. Can't whack him after teh fact, or we'll just confuse him in his training. :lol:

Cat how is mom and Dad? Did Marian enjoy herself?
It was my sons Bday yesterday and I didnt get to see or talk to him ..he's on a mancation :)
Mom and Dad are great! Dad bought his very first new car. Ever. :lol: And it's his. It's a Suzuki SX4, and a really cute, erm, classy, yeah... classy car. ;)
Marian had a great time too... one of her friends brought her guitar, and is was nice sitting by our fire listening to them all singing around their campfire. (we were close enough to see and hear, but not intrude ;) )

Sorry you didn't get to see your son in his birthday.. I bet he's having fun on his mancation though. ;)

Cat does your family do a Memorial Day camping trip thingie?You mean Labor Day? We try not to do anything that everyone else is doing. There are only a few places cool enough around here to camp this time of year, and our regular place is packed to the gills on three day weekends.

We are talking of taking the 4 wheeler and the kayak to Nevada and spending a couple days. Don't know yet though.

BECKY! Those were GREAT bee pics! WOW.

JAMIE! I really liked your fluers. The first 2 have my vote because I love the point of view.

[T.D.]

Zane, a couple for you from today:

[T.D.]

thanks Lisa.

Hi Cat! Glad you are back :)

[Becky N]

I don't think this could be any bluer

http://lcimages.zenfolio.com/img/v2/p224616066-4.jpg


TPBM amused you

Permie, this technique really works in this shot.

Nice workers:)

BECKY! Those were GREAT bee pics! WOW.

Thank you.

[Becky N]

Nice hot pictures there, T.D.

[3Turner]

Nice Chris. Though, I don't know if I'd go up knowing that the ropes are getting more charred by each pull to shoot the flame. :shock: Only a matter of time the rope starts to melt and break away. :lol:

[Permagrin]

Permie, this technique really works in this shot.




Thanks Becky...actually I have no idea what I did to that photo :lol: but I liked the effect. I could never duplicate it though.

[T.D.]

Nice Chris. Though, I don't know if I'd go up knowing that the ropes are getting more charred by each pull to shoot the flame. :shock: Only a matter of time the rope starts to melt and break away. :lol:

Thanks. Yeah, it's kind of weird having all that fire around all that nylon! :confused:

[Becky N]

Thanks Becky...actually I have no idea what I did to that photo :lol: but I liked the effect. I could never duplicate it though.

:lol::lol: It or a similar technique I've seen throughout the forum, to the extent of over use. IMKIAO it doesn't work on all shots, but; on this one it certainly did.

did you get any shots of the balloon with the large patch of burnt nylon? I was thinking...that's not going to last...why on earth would they take it up?

[Becky N]

N3N-3 Canary :)

And then I arrived at this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N3N_Canary) on my own before reading your reply...

Cool did you go up:shock:? It looks like that was taken in flight.

Meany Head with Meany Hands. Nice job! :)
:lol:

[T.D.]

:lol:

No. But I want to! It was taken during prep.

[Permagrin]

Becky I'd say you had an excellent macro day!

[Woolburr]

Nice stingers Becky!

Nice fire Chris...and nice water Permie.

[Becky N]

Becky I'd say you had an excellent macro day!

Nice stingers Becky!

Thanks, it was nice to just shoot for the sake of shooting, with no pressure.:D


Now I'm off for rehearsal. First the Ozelles are going to practice some enterances then we're running the whole show tonight so it will probably be 3 hours or better before I get back home.

W-R-E-A-K havoc, all.:D;)

[JWright]

Hey, I said it was similar, not identical! :oops:

Never claimed to be a plane expert. In fact, I know almost nothing about them! :)

Easy there, I never said you were wrong... :lol:

I just looked at your picture and thought it didn't look like any Stearman I've seen recently, so I did some searching on the N3N-3 number and came up with the same thing Robert did. According to my Stearman book, all the Navy Stearman were N2S's...
