Catch you all later.

[cfpackerfan]

And three, just to show Mark that I can. ;) :p

[Mgdh]

WTG Mark :) When I'm gone for a while, I find it quite impossible to catch up and keep my sanity at the same time :lol:

Thanks, Lisa. It can be a difficult job. Seeing you all add hundreds of posts to the thread while I sleep...

[Mgdh]

Impressive threefur, Mark. ;)

Thanks, Cat.

And three, just to show Mark that I can. ;) :p

:lol::lol: No doubt about that whatsoever ;)

[Mgdh]

Hmm. Shall I again? Can I again?

Let's see...

[edit] Threeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! :lol::lol::lol:

[thomascanty]

I'm afraid I've seen it more than once.

Ok, now that's something even I wouldn't admit to... And, I haven't. Even if I was admitting to it. Which I'm not...

[calledthestig]

so i think i am going to rent a lens to bring to Canada and have my mom buy me the 50mm f/1.8 for my bday

should i get the:
18-200 f/3.5-6.3 ($64/week shipped)
70-200 f/4L ($77/week shipped)

with either i am going to bring the 50mm f/1.8

[mtnphtgrphr]

70-200!!!

[wu_wei0]

Ok, now that's something even I wouldn't admit to... And, I haven't. Even if I was admitting to it. Which I'm not...When you reach a certain age, I guess nothing matters much any more. :)

[cfpackerfan]

Lonnie and Wu... I'm worried about you. :lol: :lol:

[cfpackerfan]

Oh my gosh! I am watching a 'best of UHF' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wBFoJ6Fi8c) montage to see if it really is funnier than just that one clip I posted, and Emo Phillips is in it! :lol: :lol: I used to have a couple tapes (yes, tapes) of his that I wore out! :lol: :lol: I'd never seen him before, but I totally recognized his voice. :lol: "Just call me Mr. Butterfingers" :lol: :lol:

[Jamie Holladay]

You guys are nuts.

[cfpackerfan]

Wait! I'm not nuts! Honest. :lol: I was only watching it to see if LONNIE and WU were nuts. :lol: :lol:

Oh, that, and I like Emo Phillips. :lol:

[CrazieCricket]

okay, I got my nap done, and put some new pictures in a frame. Next is shopping and bday party. icky icky shopping :mad:

[misspix]

Time for bed.
Gotta clean up from this party in the morning.

Ya had to crash my house, huh?

Well, you did open your mouth.....LOL!
Wow! You guys were talking sociology and I missed it!


I can get to Kevin Bacon through Jude Law pretty quickly
Met JL in New Orleans
JL wwas in Road to Perdition with Tom Hanks
TH was in Apollo 13 with KB

Then, my ex is in the industry and has worked on films with several who have worked with KB.

I used to love doing small world experiment stuff with my students.

A small photo for the ladies room

Beautiful, Wu! And apologies for talking sociology without you, lol!

I've taught for years... and NEVER had that happen... My mom taught for most of my childhood and I attended her classes with her (I became an assitant instructor as soon as I could read well enough to take the test! hehehehe) And NEVER seen that happen. We're talking 20 years here.... WOW! :shock:

:o It had never happened with my instructor either
I'm kind of excited because Little River Band is going to be at ours on Sat. too...so it ought to be enjoyable


TERRI, here's the schedule if you are thinking of coming up
http://www.cityofalbany.net/parks/nwaaf/
We are hoping to come! Working out details :)
Anyone up for a couple furkid rants this morning?

The Vadernator:

Vadar is gorgeous!
And of course, some of the gray girl. ;)


oooooooooo I just wanna skritch her!
Dude, if your cheek itches, scratch it with your ear.

ROFLOLOL!
g'MAE

Everyone sit down.
No.

As long as I'm confessing, I loved Emo Philllips. I'm enjoying his college bit right now.

[wu_wei0]

Beautiful, Wu! And apologies for talking sociology without you, lol!

Never apologize for talking sociology. Even though I don't teach it any more, it warms my heart to know it still has a life of its own. ;)

GOsh! Emo had such great jackets and vests. That man had style:lol:

[wu_wei0]

Wait! I'm not nuts! Honest. :lol: I was only watching it to see if LONNIE and WU were nuts. :lol: :lol:

Oh, that, and I like Emo Phillips. :lol:Hey! that's a classic! almost.
and it has Weird Al.

I rest my case.

[wu_wei0]

Whoa! a threefer. oops, it's a fourfer now.

I quit. I think I need my timing adjusted. I seldom find any live people on these things anymore.

[Permagrin]

a fourfer actually :lol:

[wu_wei0]

I was editing as fast as my dysgraphic fingers could type!

I'm a zombie.

I'm hoping you were referring to a robot (re: bot) vs. the botfly..ewwwww

[Permagrin]

Howdy all, it seems the RRTP is dead at the moment.

not much...it's hard to be a zombie when you don't know anyone named Barbara

[aussieskier]

I am already confused :lol:

Bot:

Any type of autonomous {software} that operates as an {agent} for a user or a {program} or simulates a human activity. On the {Internet}, the most popular bots are programs (called {spiders} or crawlers) used for searching. They access {web sites}, retrieve documents and follow all the {hyperlinks} in them; then they generate catalogs that are accessed by {search engines}. A {chatbot} converses with humans (or other bots). A {shopbot} searches the Web to find the best price for a product.

GORGEOUS SHOTS Riley!! WOW

[Miniflash]

Hi folks
Wow Riley nice shots ..very beautiful ..I'm impressed .hahaha ..
Lisa glad your feeling better today is it still hot?

[Jon]

I'm so proud of myself!!! I just finished processing the trip that Dan, Jon and I took in Linville and surrounding areas back on July 15th!!!! :DStill ahead of me - I haven't even gotten started on them . . .

[Miniflash]

Hi Jon :)

[Jon]

Hi, Deb!

[Permagrin]

Hi folks
Wow Riley nice shots ..very beautiful ..I'm impressed .hahaha ..
Lisa glad your feeling better today is it still hot?

hello Deb :)

It is still hot but not in the house thankfully!

When did you get your title? I so missed it until yesterday.

[Miniflash]

lol Lisa I think I got it yesterday or maybe the day before duh ..can't remember .
Glad your house is cooler and the heads better .Its beautiful here today kinda like Oregons best day weather mid 70's nice puffy white clouds and a slight breeze its great!

[Mgdh]

Just gliding past...carry on!

Hi Terri. Bye Terri.

even though the 18-200 covers that and then i don't even need the kit lens. just the 18-200 and my 50mm f/1.8

I don't think the image quality of the 18-200 is very highly regarded. Hmm. I've just checked and I can't see a Canon 18-200 the nearest to this range is a 28-200 which is not in the same league as the 70-200 L

"L" lenses are Canon's professional standard lenses. The quality of the build, the sharpness of the image etc. all should be that much better than any of the non-"L" lenses. I've only had the opportunity to use one "L" lens (thanks, Pete :D), so I am really only going by reputation here.

However, is the 18-200 not from Canon?

[Mgdh]

Hi Jon, Deb and Riley.

Nice shots! Love the colours in the sunrise!

[Miniflash]

Hi ya Mark nice seeing ya how ya doing today?

[Mgdh]

Jamie is a minimalist, I guess.

Do you still not see it, Wu? I see it even in your post. The back disappeared briefly while the phone no was edited, I presume, and I guess the same will happen to the front but I see it at present ???

[Permagrin]

I see them.

Jamie, I really like the back but I'd like to see a darker photo (with black in it) on the front to compliment the back. Just an opinion :)

I see both front and back in your post and both in Wu's quote of yours. I only see the back in my quote, but I think I edited and you had taken the back down briefly so I didn't see it to edit it out...

[Jamie Holladay]

well here they are as attachments

[mtnphtgrphr]

nice shots Jen, the road looks a tad purplish on that second to last one.

I'll send Wanda everyone's regards, we were in an email frenzy yesterday!

Thanks Crissa! It's the preset I used that did that to the road.... will have to go mess with it... hmmmmmmm...

Well, you did open your mouth.....LOL!

Beautiful, Wu! And apologies for talking sociology without you, lol!

:o It had never happened with my instructor either

We are hoping to come! Working out details

Vadar is gorgeous!

oooooooooo I just wanna skritch her!

ROFLOLOL!

No.

Of course one must have sanity in order to keep it. Just sayin'

70-200!!!!

Metallica again... love that song :D (Nothing Else Matters for those not familiar)

I bet that hasn't happened to many instructors! Heck I team taught CPR to all the linemen in Progress Energy's WNC area.... BIG fellas some of them boys..... AND THEY DIDN"T DO THAT!!!! heheheheh

I must not have said 70-200 loud enough eh? hehehehe

And Nothing else matters is one of my all time favorite Metallica songs!!!!!!!!!!

Never apologize for talking sociology. Even though I don't teach it any more, it warms my heart to know it still has a life of its own. ;)

GOsh! Emo had such great jackets and vests. That man had style:lol:

Ok - I loved my sociology class.... that professor is still by far my most memorable professor from both grad & undergrad! He was AWESOME! Sociology fascinated me!

even though the 18-200 covers that and then i don't even need the kit lens. just the 18-200 and my 50mm f/1.8

The 70-200 is one SWEET piece of glass!!!!! I love love love mine!!!!

Well I guess you all have my phone number now. LOL.

Dooooood you gave it to me!!!!! Bwahahahahahaha To think I've never even called you either! hehehehe

[wu_wei0]

I'd cut some text on the left. You say pretty much the same thing on the right lists. I'd also put the Automotive and Motorsports Photography at the top of that side, drop down and do your listing. Make sure you put the most important stuff there.

I like the two different styles of shots and the contrast is fine for me.

Took Jasper down to the river today to cool down in this awful heat. Though he didn't go swimming, he did go in and get his belly good and wet. I guess he did go in once, chasing a seagull and not paying attention to where the bank was, but he was real quick to try to scramble out. :D

Too funny!

Becky came with her mop and left already.

I got every thing hosed down right away... She had nothing to do.

I've told Heather to flush me down the garbage disposal...

I want my ashes scattered from the summit of some mountain (either Mount Islip or White Mountain Peak). But, if that doesn't happen, I don't really care, either.

I want to be buried at sea and I figure the sewer system is the easiest and quickest way to get there...

New remember everyone we must not all fall out over the result of the final Finn Class Race at the Olympics tomorrow. For Ben Ainslie (British) to win he has to ensure that Zach Railey (American) finished no more than 4 places above him. He will do that by getting in his way and preventing him getting into turns or even picking up any wind. THIS IS NOT PERSONAL ! It's the way the game is played

Am I correct in assuming this is sailing you're talking about?

nice shots Jen, the road looks a tad purplish on that second to last one.

That's because it's in the shade. Shade is always going to have a little of a blue/purple cast. Something about UV light...

OMG I can't believe I'm admitting I know this: UHF

Never heard of it...

Oh my gosh! I am watching a 'best of UHF' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wBFoJ6Fi8c) montage to see if it really is funnier than just that one clip I posted, and Emo Phillips is in it! I used to have a couple tapes (yes, tapes) of his that I wore out! I'd never seen him before, but I totally recognized his voice. "Just call me Mr. Butterfingers"

OK, now I understand... I think I'm glad I never heard if it.

You guys are nuts.

Yep, they sure are...

[Skrim17]

great Christopher shots Mike!! thanks for sharing.

Dan I *love* the olympic set!!

I'm exhausted, tommy had his little kid party at one of those party factory play places today, then I took him and Eli to the park for a couple of hours. Took the camera and never took a shot...well I did at the party but not at the park.

Then I took both of them food shopping with me, gag me.

Dan sorry I forgot to tell you I enjoyed the new Olympic shots.

[CrazieCricket]

Oh Jamie I forgot to ask you what lenses you think would be best to take to those drag races I am going to? I won't be very far from the cars, I can stand right next to a short wall that seperates the spectators from the track. I imagine the 17-55 would be best?

(they were my birthday fleurs) Lisa, these are all GORGEOUS. I love the processing on this one. Really great!


Had to kill a bunch of smilies to make this work... No thanks to Cat, who used seven in one post. :p I'm allowed 8. And I feel the need to push the limits.

[Jamie Holladay]

I quoted this to tell you that I can't see anything. But I saw them posted in a later post. Looks good. I agree with Wu on the wording on the left though.
How about an edit? I could not wrap my head around the left text. That is the reason it is like it is. It can stay and the right can be changed if you think that would work.

[cfpackerfan]

Loved the Olympics again Puddle!!!! My favorite was the Gymnasties. hahahaha:lol::lol: I don't know if that was a typo or if you meant it, but either way, it's hilarious!

[T.D.]

I don't know if that was a typo or if you meant it, but either way, it's hilarious!

If you read the Hater-Cartoon, that's what it actually says. :rolleyes:

[T.D.]

And Cat, since you can't be bothered to de-lurk in Tupperware, I'm forced to post here for a mere morsel of Cat-praise (I have no shame - obviously :oops:).

If you read the Hater-Cartoon, that's what it actually says. :rolleyes:HA! I had missed that. By the time I got to that one, the tears were running down my cheeks and I couldn't breathe. :lol: Makes it hard to read the small type. :lol:

[Jamie Holladay]

Oh Jamie I forgot to ask you what lenses you think would be best to take to those drag races I am going to? I won't be very far from the cars, I can stand right next to a short wall that seperates the spectators from the track. I imagine the 17-55 would be best?

what time of day?
I think you can use the 17-55, but something longer might be good as well. It will allow you to get a shallower DOF. You want that to get rid of the "crew" standing near the car on the line. You also might want to do some panning from the stands. But I am really not the guy on Drag stuff. Zilly is the expert there.

[Permagrin]

Thanks Jamie, Deb and Paula :)



Lisa, these are all GORGEOUS. I love the processing on this one. Really great!


thanks Cat...I call that my virtual surgical gauze photo processing technique. VSGPPT ;) :lol:

And you did not offer me any? Well I can't do anything to it until Monday it is on my work computer. So just take you time.

Very nice Chris.

Beefy, I am so glad that you are shameless. Otherwise I would have missed that... and it is spectacular. It made me gasp, seriously. Is that a sunrise? WOW. Totally worth getting up in the dark, eh?

And sorry, I rarely stop by Tupperville. Really. I'm not really a lurker. ;)
I was serious when I said you need to come here and get me when you post shots. :lol: :lol: Or posting them here works too. :p

[puddlepirate44]

I don't know if that was a typo or if you meant it, but either way, it's hilarious!

It's because of the curly chest hair. It just cracked me up.

That's sunrise this morning. If you look back at Riley's shot, I was standing at that little building (Vista House) on the right when I took it. They were taken at almost the same time from very different vantage points.

[T.D.]

Puddle and I were commenting frequently this morning that the sunrise was totally photoshopped and not natural at all.

Crazy orange/red from lots of smoke in the air.

[cfpackerfan]

And you did not offer me any? Well I can't do anything to it until Monday it is on my work computer. So just take you time.

Very nice Chris.
I'm having Tommy's Specials tonight. You are welcome to one. I have plenty.

[Permagrin]

[Jamie Holladay]

I'm having Tommy's Specials tonight. You are welcome to one. I have plenty.
Do you think I'll like it?

[cfpackerfan]

what's that?

Bacardi Razz, Soda, real cranberry juice.

Mostly bacardi (raspberry), a splash of soda (I'm using Fresca instead of sprite) and a splash of cranberry (I use organic 100% cranberry... no fillers or sweeteners)


It's the drink that Tommy (the bartender in Puerto Rico) made us after our kayaking trip.

[Jamie Holladay]

Do you have some Crown. Cranberry juice.... well it..... let's just say I don't want to get up in the middle of the night to... well potty.

[cfpackerfan]

cranberry juice is good for you.

Besides, there's only a splash in each drink. :p

I'm fresh ou of crown. Sorry. How about some.. um... I have tequila, vodka, gin, rum... no whiskey. Sorry.

[cfpackerfan]

I have fun stuff too...

raspberry rum
coconut rum
vanilla vodka
frangelico
butterscotch schnapps
irish cream
I think I have some Pucker too. Watermelon I think.

[cfpackerfan]

[CrazieCricket]

I'll be there from 8am (when it starts) till it gets to hot for me to stand it. In fact it's still over 100 here and it's 8pm.:(

I don't know if that was a typo or if you meant it, but either way, it's hilarious!

My usual bottle of water from my filter system...

Apropos of absolutely nothing, but I met Ernest Borgnine, the actor, today. He was doing a book signing at the exchange at the San Diego Naval Station today. Being a fan of McHale's Navy, I had to get a copy of his autobiography and get it signed. He doesn't look any different than when he was doing McHale's Navy...

[cfpackerfan]

Yeah. That's really gymnasty. :lol: :lol: :lol: I was actually pretty impressed with myself. :lol: :lol:

[Skrim17]

s'ok Jamie.

I like this shot but feel like there is more I can do with it.

Due to popular demand I now present you with "The Boy" aka Christopher

Preparing a meal "mmm, needs more plastic beads"


Climbing up the ramp at Gymboree:


Attempting to go up a ladder:


He's officially a "toddler!"


Goofy boy:


Ooh! Is that a 40D?

Awwwwww! He is soooooooo big! Thank you Mike!
