The 13th Official Random Discussion for TPBM (Back-To-School Edition)

[TeeQ]

Thanks Cat and Jennifer... they are my babies... well my teenage daughter claims Koda as hers... LOL

[cfpackerfan]

Yeah, Jeffrey 'belongs' to my teenage daughter. ;)

[Becky N]

Tee, I think your pictures are good and sharp on the cats, with good bokah and fokah, and very nice compositions.

I also think your cats are pretty kitties.


JENN - add my Awww to your shot of Boo.

[mtnphtgrphr]

awwwwww what a cutie patutie!!!!! Boo looks wayyyyy to comfy. I would be tempted to scare the cwap outta her just to see hanging from the ceiling!!! I know I'm evil :o

That cat is on the verge of evil things... little wild thing attacked my ankles this evening! I had a slight chill because of all the rain (it's been forever!) and was wearing my flannel pj bottoms..... the flapping of them made Boo attack my ankles.... and feet..... GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! I could barely walk through the den....

[CrazieCricket]

Sheesh!!!! I forgot to even say HI!!! to everyone tonight.:o

HI!!!!!!

[mtnphtgrphr]

JENN - add my Awww to your shot of Boo.

Thanks Becky it was definitely a sweet moment! :D Boo slept there for about 20 min all snug and warm!

[thomascanty]

Has she been spayed yet? They have a tendency to call a lot more when "in season."

Oh, yeah... A couple months ago, right after she had that litter of stillborn kittens. I wasn't going through that again.

[cfpackerfan]

I found one that I have uploaded to photobucket. It's not a very good pic of him though, for comparison reasons.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v436/cfpackerfan/-1.jpg

He's not really that dark... this shot has a little bit of a Dragan processing on it.

Well than!!!! See, Boo deserves to be scared witless!!!!:lol:

[TeeQ]

Thanks Becky - I was thinking that the sharpening on Koda was a little much, but he's such a photographic cat that his fur's details just pop out without sharpening... hehehhe

I swear Koda likes to be photographed, although Pega likes to make things "challenging" for me - as if his all-white fur wasn't already a challenge.... lol

Very kewl photo though!!! I like!

[Permagrin]

Here are photos of my 2 boys... the white one is Pegasus (named after the white winged-horse because he gallops when he runs)... The black/brown tabby is Koda (named after the Brother Bear movie as he is short and stocky like a bear)...

Koda is the mischievious, mouthy cat that has LOTS to say and craves attention all the time - I don't think I've experienced a moment when he's not purring... He frequently hides and pounces on Pegasus at any opportunity...

Pega is the independent, but loyal snuggle bud - is that possible? He tends to stray further away from the house, exploring the neighborhood. But he never forgets where he sleeps (on my bed, snuggled up to my belly) or where he gets fed. I could be outside at night calling for him and he'll quitely walk up behind me and scare the crap out of me when he lovingly rubs against my legs... I wonder why can't he meow to say "here I am" instead??? LOL

beautiful shots...of gorgeous cats!

[Becky N]

The Ozelles have been having issues with their reprise dances. I just spent the evening typing out the lyrics and moves to each reprise. I hope I remembered correctly. I printed out a copy for each one, guess if I have something wrong we can correct it and I can edit the master file.

Anyway, past my bedtime, so I'll wish you all a G'Nite.

[mtnphtgrphr]

Well than!!!! See, Boo deserves to be scared witless!!!!:lol:

Trust me it's one of my favorite 'cat' things to do.... make 'em jump! Sadie isn't startled by anything... I suppose it's a Mom thing? ;) But Boo.... giggle.... the slightest little PSSSSSST! Gets a pretty good jump!!!!!



Where's Jamie?? He musta been busy today!!!! I see that he posted 5 hours ago... but it's been 11 hours since he posted in here!

[Permagrin]

Sheesh!!!! I forgot to even say HI!!! to everyone tonight.:o

HI!!!!!!

hey Paula :)


and don't worry about your 40D. It's going to take good photos for a long time to come :)

[asolie]

Awwww, cute kitty pictures!!! :D

[Permagrin]

G'night Becky :)

[cfpackerfan]

Hope your hard work pays off for the Ozelles, Becky.

Sleep well.

[TeeQ]

Sheesh!!!! I forgot to even say HI!!! to everyone tonight.:o

HI!!!!!!

Hi Paula!!!

beautiful shots...of gorgeous cats!

Thank you Permagrin... They are one of my favourite subject to shoot... The other being my daughter playing ringette... :)

I found one that I have uploaded to photobucket. It's not a very good pic of him though, for comparison reasons. He's not really that dark... this shot has a little bit of a Dragan processing on it.

I can see his fur is very similar - light tips on the ends, darker on the inside... It is indeed a cool photo...

Trust me it's one of my favorite 'cat' things to do.... make 'em jump! Sadie isn't startled by anything... I suppose it's a Mom thing? ;) But Boo.... giggle.... the slightest little PSSSSSST! Gets a pretty good jump!!!!!

Hehehhee... I had a grey kitten 15 years or so ago (she's now since passed on) but we used to play hide 'n seek - and when she'd find me, she's jump out of her fur... hehehhehee... It is pretty funny to see them do that... especially when two of them are playing together and one startles the other!!!!

[cfpackerfan]

I was scanning through an old album that I have on Photobucket, looking for shots to use in the game threads, and found this one. :lol: I don't think I've ever shared it here before.
It was taken about 4 years ago.

I know the camera will take good photos. Tis me I hope that will get better....But, I've only been at it a couple months now, so I can only get better with practice right? However, sometimes I think my learner is broke.... I just don't retain info as good as I use to.:(

What a very nice looking couple!!

[TeeQ]

Yes I agree... nice couple!!!

[mtnphtgrphr]

Awwwwwwwwwww what a sweet picture Cat!!!!!

Well I'm off to bed folks! See ya'll tomorrow!!!!!

[cfpackerfan]

Thanks. :D It's one of my favorite shots of the two of us. Wade's brother snapped it. I was doing dishes and my hands were all full of suds, and he yelled "Picture!" and we both just turned around like that. :lol:

[3Turner]

Evening folks. Popping in with some free time for a bit.

funnily enough we bought a costco knock-off of the tempurpedic for our guestroom...at 1/5 the price, you can't tell it's not tempurpedic. However it doesn't have a 20 year guarantee. But it's very comfy. Literally came in a box...like a kitchen stove box...and it was vacuum sealed so when we opened the first layer we weren't prepared for an explosion...and the mattress literally burst through it's second wrappings and expanded to a queen size 12in mattress RIGHT ON TOP OF ME!
I don't know how I missed this before, but when Jen quoted it and I read it....I also burst out laughing loudly! :lol: That would have been a sight to see.

Oh, yeah. Now I'm using Firefox 3. Killed a couple of my add-ins.. :( But, other than that, it seems OK.
Me too, got the upgrade box today. The theme I was using is not supported anymore either and there are none that look similar that work with FF3 :|.

I don't care for Firefox 3. The right-click menus look and act too much like IE's... For now I'm sticking with 2.0.0.16...Change the theme to something else that will change the look of the menus.

What is the checker board to the west, a turf farm?I was gonna ask that same thing about Jim's coordinates....I figured it was some sort of life sized chess board or something....like in Harry Potter.

WTH, Bobert? I had that covered with a carefully placed throw. :-|
Oh sorry, was I not supposed to say that out loud?

LOTRR: Can't We Talk About This Somewhere Public? :lol::lol:

Thanks for the offer, John. But I gave it up and the Cds are already burned, proof sheets printed, and images uploaded. I'm too lazy to redo any of it.
That's too bad cause I actually have a picture of a moon on blue sky fer ya. Here is a smallish one and I have one closer too.

[thomascanty]

Nice picture, Kit. I'd like to meet those two some day...

[thomascanty]

Change the theme to something else that will change the look of the menus.

I've tried that. The first thing I always do is change the theme. It didn't help in this case, though. One thing that's always bugged me about IE is the way the "Back" option is missing from the right-click menu if your cursor just happens to be hovering over an image at the time. Firefox was never like that. "Back" was always available on that menu. Until v3, that is. Now it works exactly the same as IE and that bugs me too much to use it.

[cfpackerfan]

Nice picture, Kit. I'd like to meet those two some day...How about this November? Will that work ok for you? ;)
And, um, there might be a little more of me now than what that picture shows. :shock:

[Permagrin]

AKKK!! CAT! Can you distribute some pain over to Wade?? He just posted a spider :shock:

[thomascanty]

How about this November? Will that work ok for you? ;)
And, um, there might be a little more of me now than what that picture shows. :shock:

November, eh? Hmmm.... Y'know, that just might work for me! :D
And there's too much of me at this time of my life, too. *sigh*

[cfpackerfan]

LOL! I just told him that it was a creepy spider. :lol: I'm sitting right next to him.. want I should smack him or pinch him or something?

[Permagrin]

LOL! I just told him that it was a creepy spider. :lol: I'm sitting right next to him.. want I should smack him or pinch him or something?

be sure you say "no offense but DUDE!!..." first:lol::lol:

[cfpackerfan]

:lol: He said "HEY! It's what they asked for!" :lol:

[thomascanty]

Well, the spider was requested... Maybe you should be smacking the requester instead. ;)

[Permagrin]

I don't know Monty's wife...:lol: Someone needs to take a photo of a stuffed spider to post when someone foolishly requests a spider! :lol::lol:

[TeeQ]

Phew... glad it wasn't me that requested a spider... hehehehe

[cfpackerfan]

Alyssa, that looks good to me. Not as wowing as some of your other pages, but it still looks nice. :D

Lisa, I'm supposed to pass on this information:

Wade is also afraid of spiders. There is no such thing as too much bug spray, and the only good spider is a dead spider. :lol:

[Permagrin]

Ohhh someone else who's into scrapbooking... COOL!!!

I agree, the page looks nice over all - colour, layout, subject... but it does need something in the lower left corner - maybe some journalling as to why you took that picture or why its special to you???

[cfpackerfan]

OoOoo, Don! You did a GREAT job on shutter speed there. :D That looks awesome.

Uh huh... Sure... ;)

[calledthestig]

Thanks everyone!! That shot I really want to get blown up to poster size for my wall -- I would love to have my own shot displayed for myself. Anyone know of a place online or should I go locally?

[cfpackerfan]

Dang....and I got all my hopes up n stuff. Wait...why the emphasis on NOT? I wanted to make sure you understood my point. :lol: :lol:

You sure are getting good at these! But, since I'm a Cherokee, I can't help but think you should have put me in this one...

[puddlepirate44]

Really? My mother says that my Grandfather was Cherokee also, but I would think she meant Coahuiltecan named for the Mexican State of Coahuila which is right across the boarder of where I was born.

[thomascanty]

Sounds like we have quite a few Native Americans in here. Permie is, too (Cherokee also, if I remember correctly). I also seem to remember Wu mentioning something like that, too.

Yeah, but I'm diluted. :lol: On my Dad's side; Grandmother born and raised in Mexico, Grandfather was a gringo-gringo...blonde hair, blue eyes. On my Mom's side; Grandfather Native American and Mexican, Grandmother born and raised in Mexico, but her father (my Great Grandfather) is 100% Japanese. I'm a melting pot. :rolleyes:

I am, too. My dad's side of the family is pretty much all Belgian and not much else. I get the Cherokee on my mother's side of the family (my mom's dad's dad), along with a bunch of other nationalities.

My dad's side hasn't even been in the U.S. for 100 years yet, but I've traced my mom's side in the U.S. to the mid 1600's so far.

[3Turner]

Well folksies...time for me to head to bed. Early morning rise again.

I would like to do that one day...trace ancestry back. I think it would only go far enough on my Dad's side with my Grandfather.

Well, for real...out...night.

[cfpackerfan]

G'night Bobby. :D

I think it's fascinating to hear other people's heritages.

My Great Grandmother on my mom's side was a Dickens. A direct descendant of Charles Dickens. A very English family. Married into a very French family. My mom is almost completely half and half English/French.

My dad is German. Almost completely.

Wade's dad is Portuguese. His mom is Norwegian. :lol: She has traced her genealogy back to Eric the Red (so she says). Very interesting.

[thomascanty]

I got interested in genealogy when a woman I used to know in the 80's showed me the research she had done. She had documented evidence that proved she was a descendant of Robin Hood. Until then I'd always thought Robin Hood was a fictional character.

That's neat. My aunt (dad's sister) is a Mormon, so she's done a lot of research on that side of my family. Supposedly she's proven that we're descendants of a couple kings in France and Spain. I've asked her for copies of her research and she's never delivered, so I haven't seen the proof of that myself. I was never able to find any proof of it on my own, either.

[asolie]

(^^ Cat's post ) :shock: I've still got a lot to learn........... those look great! :)

[thomascanty]

Well, I guess I'll give this "job" thing one more try this week. See y'all a little later...

[cfpackerfan]

I'm off too. Got to get a little sleep.

[Permagrin]

not sleeping obviously

*edit* looks like zenfolio is down

There's that good ol 1408 again. I think it's following me.

Thanks for the offer, John. But I gave it up and the Cds are already burned, proof sheets printed, and images uploaded. I'm too lazy to redo any of it.

I'm sure it's happened more than a few times!

OK...

My uncle is the family genealogist and has done all the research. I've never seen the actual research, but based on what I've been told we are 100% European. My father's family is Scotch-English and my mother's family was German...

Graphics is really the strong point of Photoshop. Of all the stuff in there, the photography related tools are just a small part. Combine that with Adobe Illustrator and you've got a very powerful graphics suite.

Cute couple, hope Lonnie gets to meet them someday...hope I get to meet them some day.:D

Here is a quick preview of my Canada trip:


Anyone know of a place online or should I go locally?

Nice shot, just enough water blur without over doing. We like MPix and have had several photos printed on the large size with good results. I would recommend you have them mount it to avoid the picture from wrinking in the frame.

This better?

Yes, tells more of the story. Tee, I had to gulp when you mentioned journaling...I'm very bad at journaling. Often leave pockets or flaps, but never get back to actually writing anything.:rolleyes:

While at the recent Pow Wow, TD really got into the spirit of the thing:

Dan, these are really good. I enjoy you special additions.

I think it's fascinating to hear other people's heritages.

My mother has done a lot of research on her side of the family. Some were rather surprising and could explain a lot about us, something about cousins marrying cousins.:lol::rolleyes: Her mother's side is Scottish, her dad's side has a lot of German. On my dad's side there is a lot of Swedish. As far as any famous lines, my grandmother is a direct descendent of Queen Mary of Scots and her uncle's wife married a Boone, as in Daniel Boone family line. We've been told that Daniel Boone was not like Fess Parker's character. He apparently liked alcohol, a lot, and wasn't all that faithful on his many long journey's away from the homestead while out exploring.:confused:

I think I went a little crazy in photoshop....

Playing like that can often spark the creative fire again. Hope it worked for you.

Well, I guess I'll give this "job" thing one more try this week. See y'all a little later...

Have a good "Lonnie weekend" when the night duties are over.

CRISSA - if you check in and I miss you, have a good vacation. It is good to get away to where you can just putz and relax without any schedules.



Good day, all.

[puddlepirate44]

My family heritage is very precise.

My dad was a mutt and my mom was an alley cat. I think I have most of Europe, North America and some Asia in me. The Scottish part has the lion's share, but that's about it.

[BearLeeAlive]

Good Morning

Here are photos of my 2 boys...
Nice shots of cute kitties.
I'd be afraid, I'd be very afraid...until I knew it was Jim, anyway.
Hey, my alter persona Bearagorn should not be taken lightly. :evil:
Some bears bite, you know. ;)
I was scanning through an old album that I have on Photobucket, looking for shots to use in the game threads, and found this one. I don't think I've ever shared it here before.
It was taken about 4 years ago.

Cute shot Cat. :D
Or a hot chick in a bikini?
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v436/cfpackerfan/100_3610Small.jpg
Awwwwwwww, meltdown. What a cutie. :D
And he said that it's mostly my fault because I am using up too much of the internet speed and he has to use my 'leftovers'.
:lol: You should share with hubby more Cat.
While at the recent Pow Wow, TD really got into the spirit of the thing:
Another good one Dan, lovin' this stuff too. :D
I'm a melting pot.
I think most of use are, to one degree or another. Some claim to be just what they want to be thought as. My background is not too exotic at all. On my fathers side we are English all the way, on my mothers side, half English and half German. But hey, but you never know what went on behind the woodpile. :p

[Miniflash]

Here are photos of my 2 boys... the white one is Pegasus (named after the white winged-horse because he gallops when he runs)... The black/brown tabby is Koda (named after the Brother Bear movie as he is short and stocky like a bear)...

Koda is the mischievious, mouthy cat that has LOTS to say and craves attention all the time - I don't think I've experienced a moment when he's not purring... He frequently hides and pounces on Pegasus at any opportunity...

Pega is the independent, but loyal snuggle bud - is that possible? He tends to stray further away from the house, exploring the neighborhood. But he never forgets where he sleeps (on my bed, snuggled up to my belly) or where he gets fed. I could be outside at night calling for him and he'll quitely walk up behind me and scare the crap out of me when he lovingly rubs against my legs... I wonder why can't he meow to say "here I am" instead LOLHi Tee nice kitty pics :) sounds like you have some spoiled babies like me :)um ...like the room .

I was scanning through an old album that I have on Photobucket, looking for shots to use in the game threads, and found this one. :lol: I don't think I've ever shared it here before.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v436/cfpackerfan/wadeandcathy-edited.jpgCat you and Wade make a real nice looking couple you both have friendly faces ..nice smiles and a look of Love .

While at the recent Pow Wow, TD really got into the spirit of the thing:

http://lcimages.zenfolio.com/img/v1/p725102576-5.jpgDan these are my favorite thing your doing so far ..so creative and fun and a great combo of photography and artistic talent ...Love Love Love them! thanks for sharing them with US(Thanks to Lisa too)

Yeah, but I'm diluted. On my Dad's side; Grandmother born and raised in Mexico, Grandfather was a gringo-gringo...blonde hair, blue eyes. On my Mom's side; Grandfather Native American and Mexican, Grandmother born and raised in Mexico, but her father (my Great Grandfather) is 100% Japanese. I'm a melting pot. :rolleyes:Robert we call that a Heniz ..57 variety I"m one of those too
English German and Indian ..lol ..Salamanca <<<sp ck ,Indians right here in NY ..
It's all good :)

Lonnie how is Minnie doing with walking and such?
John I knew there was a way to do a moon I don't know how but if youd like to do a tutorial ..I"d like it :)

[thomascanty]

Have a good "Lonnie weekend" when the night duties are over.

I'm gonna try. I only have about four more hours to go for my "weekend". I think I might go to the Antelope Valley Fair tomorrow.

[Miniflash]

Hi Becky ..its hump day :) for all you worker bees ..

[Miniflash]

Lonnie that sounds fun :) can I come ? lol

[thomascanty]

Lonnie how is Minnie doing with walking and such?

You mean off leash? I haven't been testing her at it much any more. I don't think I'll ever be able to completely trust her without the leash.

[thomascanty]

Lonnie that sounds fun :) can I come ? lol

Sure. Weird Al Yankovich is playing there tomorrow night. The concert is free with fair admission.

[Miniflash]

You mean off leash? I haven't been testing her at it much any more. I don't think I'll ever be able to completely trust her without the leash.
My Mini is like that ..a real bratford off leash so at least shes a good girl on leash .
Is Minnie walking nice for you now or a puller ?

[Miniflash]

Sure. Weird Al Yankovich is playing there tomorrow night. The concert is free with fair admission.That could be fun ..:)

[thomascanty]

Is Minnie walking nice for you now or a puller ?

She still wants to pull, when I let her. We're still working on it. She must be about eight years old now, so she's kind of set in her ways and is being stubborn about things like that.

[Becky N]

Hey, my alter persona Bearagorn should not be taken lightly. :evil:
Some bears bite, you know. ;)

Uh, huh...nothing a good smack on the nose, like Dorothy did to the lion...sorry Terri...in the Wizard of Oz. And if that doesn't work, I'll just put in a call to your Lisa.:p


Good morning, Deb. Have the cooler temps reached your area yet? We have had some wonderful sleeping temperatures here in the lower 60's. Some spotty storms are suppose to come come through tomorrow, then sunny and lower 80's through the long weekend. Looks like perfect weather when we go to the Ren Faire on Sunday. Going to try to finish a Senior shoot on Saturday...we had a storm come through the first evening with him, so only did the indoor studio stuff. He wants some shots with a Charger his friend owns.

[Becky N]

Sure. Weird Al Yankovich is playing there tomorrow night. The concert is free with fair admission.

Saw him in an interview the other night. Man has his appearance changed, not the hair so much, but his facial appearance. I was really surprised.

[calledthestig]

Good morning everyone. Early start to the work day, but so far its pretty quiet over here.

[BearLeeAlive]

Uh, huh...nothing a good smack on the nose, like Dorothy did to the lion...sorry Terri...in the Wizard of Oz. And if that doesn't work, I'll just put in a call to your Lisa.:p

Thanks Deb. :D
Sawwy Becky for getting so snappy wich ya. :o

[Becky N]

Meany Head. :evil: :lol:

Naw, it is just training.:p


Time for me to get in gear since I'm having no luck finding a pair of shoes. I like my mocs, but; need something a bit more dressy yet C-O-M-F-O-R-T-A-B-L-E and not mules, they get snow in them too easily.:rolleyes: This is for when I have to attend "functions" that are dress casual...which means on my feet a lot of the time.

[Miniflash]

It seems to be a shoe day This morning Andy complained about his as well as my Son ..lol I see shoe shopping in the near future ,

[Miniflash]

Well now I just got a call from my SIL ..she wants to meet me and the country club near me for lunch today, So it looks like my fun meter is gonna get a work out today :)

[Mgdh]

G'mae all

Quick flyby...


Don't worry, Jim is having one this weekend out on their property.


*booking tickets now* I wish!.

Sounds like tons of fun.. guitars, campfire, in the middle of the woods... too bad its almost 48 hour drive from me... :lol:

Think about my trip - 8hr drive, 11 hour flight and then whatever driving in Canada! Not so much the time as the £££

Ok, proper catchup later - much later - I'm out to church homegroup this evening.

[BearLeeAlive]

Think about my trip - 8hr drive, 11 hour flight and then whatever driving in Canada! Not so much the time as the £££
Have you started your savings plan to retrace your honeymoon (along with a few new side trips)? ;) :D

[Harm]

The links in Curtis N's sig will be a great place to start...

http://photography-on-the.net/forum/member.php?u=28729

Ahhh cool, thanks, I'll deffo look at that.

Any of Bryan Peterson's books, I liked. Especially Understanding Exposure.

Cool I did get that one...there were a few others there, but I'll start on this and work my way through the others.

We will be there Friday evening, come on out.

Um, yeah....That is the whole idea.
We can do what we want, as loudly as we want, and there is nobody to complain (especially when we get a couple guitars going around the campfire ). Most of the treed land around us is Crown Land (owned by Canada) and is at our disposal for hiking, skiing, biking, etc.

That would be nice...open space, nobody bothered about how loud you are etc.


OMG That is TOO funny!!!! I laughed myself silly when I read this... Sorry Lisa!

Who didn't laugh?? Not in a cruel way though...

She's got such a nice smile!!!!!

Wow! :shock: She does not look pissed at all!!!

She is always in her element in the outdoors, but she was livid that whole day.


I want one too!!!!!!!!!!!!

Me three!!!

Yep, all this in a multi-million dollar home with all the amenities of NOT camping my kinda vacation!

Ooooooh...yeah I am not too keen on the camping thing myself...


I wanted to go up for their big celebration air show because they we featuring the top military demonstration teams from the US (Thuderbirds & Blues), Canada (Snowbirds), and Great Britain (Red Arrows). I can just imagine how the Americans must have been treated...

Montreal is only 1 hr from my brother-in-law's house by the US/Canadian border...so going up there was no issues...Still I'd like to see more of the place. Last time I was there was last year for the Canadian GP. But I do hear a lot of good things about Quebec City.

I tried Firefox once, but find the IE works just fine for me so no need to have another application on my computer. Gives more room for photography related applications.

I much prefer FF over IE, anyday.


Red Rose Tea Party.
Actually, Red-Ringed Tupperware Party

Ahhhh, that is what it stands for...

Thanks Jim... I wondered if I was missing a party - turns out it was the tupperware party... hehhee

Clearly I haven't woken up, since I am on the RRTP thread too...silly me

Also, Tee, there is a game in the competitions area called "The Photo Below Me" that we all play pretty regularly. You'll find a lot of talk going on in here that references photos posted there. Be sure to drop in and play sometime.

I haven't played in that for a while, probably because I don't have THAT many shots of late to contribute.

and don't worry about your 40D. It's going to take good photos for a long time to come

Yeah, it should, just cause the 50D is out, doesn't mean that there will be THAT much of a difference in photo quality. The camera is only as good as the user...


I know the camera will take good photos. Tis me I hope that will get better....But, I've only been at it a couple months now, so I can only get better with practice right? However, sometimes I think my learner is broke.... I just don't retain info as good as I use to.

Yeah, I am trying to learn as fast as possible too!


Me too, got the upgrade box today. The theme I was using is not supported anymore either and there are none that look similar that work with FF3.

Change the theme to something else that will change the look of the menus.

I've found plenty of themes and little addons that are good for me, without clogging the screen up at all.


Here is a quick preview of my Canada trip:

http://projekt365.com/photos/2008_08/08_25_2008.jpg

Great shot there. We should be going to the Falls on Sat. First time I get to see the Falls from the US side. What settings did you use, and I can only assume you took your tripod with you....I'll deffo have another batch of messed up shots this weekend!! :rolleyes:


Yeah, but I'm diluted. On my Dad's side; Grandmother born and raised in Mexico, Grandfather was a gringo-gringo...blonde hair, blue eyes. On my Mom's side; Grandfather Native American and Mexican, Grandmother born and raised in Mexico, but her father (my Great Grandfather) is 100% Japanese. I'm a melting pot.

Cool....talk about being diluted...

I think it's fascinating to hear other people's heritages.

My Great Grandmother on my mom's side was a Dickens. A direct descendant of Charles Dickens. A very English family. Married into a very French family. My mom is almost completely half and half English/French.

My dad is German. Almost completely.

Wade's dad is Portuguese. His mom is Norwegian. She has traced her genealogy back to Eric the Red (so she says). Very interesting.

Wow, that is interesting to know..

I got interested in genealogy when a woman I used to know in the 80's showed me the research she had done. She had documented evidence that proved she was a descendant of Robin Hood. Until then I'd always thought Robin Hood was a fictional character.

While most of the stories of Robin Hood are fictional, there is a LOT of real history surrounding it.

Hint: don't go to Nottingham....there is absolutely nothing there!!


The most famous person my grandma traced from way back when was when she discovered her great great great great great (etc......) grandfather was the inventor of the potato chip. It was published in a book.

That is neat!

That's neat. My aunt (dad's sister) is a Mormon, so she's done a lot of research on that side of my family. Supposedly she's proven that we're descendants of a couple kings in France and Spain. I've asked her for copies of her research and she's never delivered, so I haven't seen the proof of that myself. I was never able to find any proof of it on my own, either.

I haven't even tried doing any tracing about my family...I'll leave that to others.

I am pretty diluted too...1st Genre Englishman, mother from india, father from Tanzania, then his dad was from india, but my grandfather on my mother's side is from Mynamar (Burma), then it goes on and on and on, all the way back to Genghis Khan of all people....

My wife's family is mainly european...irish on her mother's side, with some native american, german, french etc. etc. on her father's side, and she is very distantly related to the current royal family via Princess Diana...

I guess Pirates & Plunderers and Princesses can mix!

oh and Morning all

[calledthestig]

Great shot there. We should be going to the Falls on Sat. First time I get to see the Falls from the US side. What settings did you use, and I can only assume you took your tripod with you....I'll deffo have another batch of messed up shots this weekend!! :rolleyes:

oh and Morning all

Actually that was handheld shot. It was like only 1/4 second at ISO400 at f/1.8 I believe (@ work right now without exif checker). I used the railing to lean on to get the shot as still as possible.

I will post the rest tonight when I am done editing.

[misspix]

G'MAE, All!

LOTRR: Can't We Talk About This Somewhere Public?

:eek: :lol:
HA! An entire page of TR avatars!! :D
Happens quite a bit :D
Here are photos of my 2 boys... the white one is Pegasus (named after the white winged-horse because he gallops when he runs)... The black/brown tabby is Koda (named after the Brother Bear movie as he is short and stocky like a bear)...

Beautiful shots of beautiful cats!

awwwwww what a cutie patutie!!!!! Boo looks wayyyyy to comfy. I would be tempted to scare the cwap outta her just to see hanging from the ceiling!!! I know I'm evil
*snicker* I am evil, too :) Cracks me up when they hop sideways with their fur sticking out all over the place!


I was scanning through an old album that I have on Photobucket, looking for shots to use in the game threads, and found this one. I don't think I've ever shared it here before.
It was taken about 4 years ago.

That is a great shot of you two, Cat!
I don't know Monty's wife... Someone needs to take a photo of a stuffed spider to post when someone foolishly requests a spider!
Um, :o there is a lady who worked at our local PayLess (now RiteAid) that would say stuffed spiders are just as dangerous to the true phobics. She did not appreciate my scream one bit when a dangling stuffed spider leg brushed my shoulder.
Here is a quick preview of my Canada trip:


Nicely done, Don!

He blames it on his dinosaur of a computer.

And he said that it's mostly my fault because I am using up too much of the internet speed and he has to use my 'leftovers'. :lol:
ROFLOL!
While at the recent Pow Wow, TD really got into the spirit of the thing:


LOVE these Dan! I cannot wait to see what you come up with next!


Crissa: Happy vacation to you! Mine starts tomorrow :)

[3Turner]

Whoosh by morning catch up and post....back in the office again today.

Even though I didn't quote 'em, I enjoyed reading everyones post of their heritage. Sadly though, I don't have any notable figures in my history like many of you all.

Well, back to earning my dollar.

[thomascanty]

Sadly though, I don't have any notable figures in my history like many of you all.

Not even Adam and Eve? Or maybe even Noah and his family?

[Woolburr]

I've tried that. The first thing I always do is change the theme. It didn't help in this case, though. One thing that's always bugged me about IE is the way the "Back" option is missing from the right-click menu if your cursor just happens to be hovering over an image at the time. Firefox was never like that. "Back" was always available on that menu. Until v3, that is. Now it works exactly the same as IE and that bugs me too much to use it.

I use FF3 and back is always the top right click menu item.

[CrazieCricket]

Good Morning all!!! I got this pic in an email this morning and immediately thought of all you folks that are blaming your cats for shredded tp/papertowels....:lol: They are innocent!!!!:rolleyes:

I just saw this and thought before I leave that now Genghis Khan in TR has new meaning....or at least realation to a regular threadie. :lol:

not even one of the animals on the ship??

[3Turner]

Not even Adam and Eve? Or maybe even Noah and his family?
No silly...I'm the snake that made Eve eat the apple so she can realize that she was nekkid!!:lol::rolleyes::p

Okay...really, I have to go type out a report. At lunch time ya'll.

[CrazieCricket]

The heritage of all you folks is soooo interesting! Sadly I don't think I have anything exciting in mine.:(:lol: I'm mostly German with a little Danish and a pinch of Russian.

[thomascanty]

I use FF3 and back is always the top right click menu item.

Are you using a theme? Maybe it is theme dependent. The two or three that I tried still were missing that menu item if I right clicked with the cursor on an image.

Good Morning all!!! I got this pic in an email this morning and immediately thought of all you folks that are blaming your cats for shredded tp/papertowels....:lol: They are innocent!!!!:rolleyes:

Yeah... Sure they are! :rolleyes:

No silly...I'm the snake that made Eve eat the apple so she can realize that she was nekkid!!:lol::rolleyes::p

I use Aquatint Black Gloss theme.

I'll have to try that and see if it is a theme thing, then. I haven't used that one before.

Hey Cat ..how ya doing today? hows your friend doing ? and how bout those furkids ..did Amikha shred tissue or was that someone else?

[neil_r]

The fact that my daughter actually touched a snake made me gasp. :lol: I never thought she would. (Of course, he was all fat and slow from having just eaten, but STILL... );)

Cat, did you gasp at the asp ? ;-)

[mtnphtgrphr]

Ohhh someone else who's into scrapbooking... COOL!!!

I agree, the page looks nice over all - colour, layout, subject... but it does need something in the lower left corner - maybe some journalling as to why you took that picture or why its special to you???

Hey Tee Do you do digital scrapbooking or paper scrapbooking?? I do paper scrapbooking!


Yes, tells more of the story. Tee, I had to gulp when you mentioned journaling...I'm very bad at journaling. Often leave pockets or flaps, but never get back to actually writing anything.:rolleyes:


My mother has done a lot of research on her side of the family. Some were rather surprising and could explain a lot about us, something about cousins marrying cousins.:lol::rolleyes: Her mother's side is Scottish, her dad's side has a lot of German. On my dad's side there is a lot of Swedish. As far as any famous lines, my grandmother is a direct descendent of Queen Mary of Scots and her uncle's wife married a Boone, as in Daniel Boone family line. We've been told that Daniel Boone was not like Fess Parker's character. He apparently liked alcohol, a lot, and wasn't all that faithful on his many long journey's away from the homestead while out exploring.:confused:

I don't do journaling well either Becky!!!! I've got a couple layouts with blank space for me to journal.... and these pages are a few years old :rolleyes:

My family has a lot of research.... and we are direct descendants of Queen Mary of Scots as well!!!!! We have several royal connections on my mom's side of the family. My dad has done a ton of research as well on his side of the family, I feel very lucky to have that information.... at least my kids will have that information... unlike my ex-husbands side of the family... they know next to NOTHING about their family geneology... :rolleyes:

[misspix]

I dont think the ancestry had washrooms :)

Cats are never innocent ! They are users I tell ya ..:)

Speaking of genealogy.... I have a family member who was the first American ever to appear on a foreign postage stamp! He was featured on a stamp in Australia in the early 1900's
