I've only gone once...it was like my first time out there so not a great time trying to board there. at least they're able to make their own snow...if only Flagstaff would do the same so they can get a lot of tourism up there. especially with the convention center.

Both Summer and Winter X have been scaled, way, way back over the last couple of years.

I worked it one year in San Diego and was there for like 2.5 weeks but the last one they held, the entire event took only 3 days. Winter X may be down to only 2 days this next time.

It was made for TV by ESPN to begin with and over time the newness has just worn off.

At least I know who to call when I'm ready to shoot my fine art nude male... Jeremy........ I know he will be pleased to have his portrait plastered all over the internet.... (did I say "fine art"... yeah... nothing raunchy")

Corny, but true... that's just the thing about music.. .it speaks a language that expresses every emotional state of mind... something for every waking moment of life... it is definitely food for the soul... without it life would be less fufilling. :)

Hello I am Ashley, I wanted to introduce myself. I am new to POTN & am from Gilbert, AZ

Hey, Hey, Hey!!! ANOTHER GIRL!! WOO HOO!! Hi Ashley! Welcome to our little place in the corner of POTN...

We're chatty, and sometimes weird... but a great group of fun people with many different talents and specialties...

I'm going to peek at your Flickr... :)

Hi all... I'm Todd. I also live here in AZ, and wanted to drop in and say hello...



Hi Todd.... so..... where is your gallery... and what do you like to shoot, and blah, blah blah... oh and WELCOME!! :)

[Rutha73]

Welcome to Ashley and Todd!
now Kristy can shoot a video of BTS action when they are out doing a model shoot so we can see how the pro's do it!!!

[fivehole91]

Hi Todd.... so..... where is your gallery... and what do you like to shoot, and blah, blah blah... oh and WELCOME!! :)

Hi Kristy... I dont have a gallery yet, but it seems like i should get on that. I like shooting landscape stuff or cool buildings/bridges etc, and candid random people shots :lol:

Speaking of cool stuff, does anyone have any info on antelope canyon? I see seriously awesome pics of that place, and cant wait to check it out...

Hi Todd and welcome...

I spent a week in Page back in September of 2007.

Did the Glen Canyon Dam and tour, Horseshoe Bend (not to be missed!), Lower Antelope Canyon and both sides of the Grand Canyon.

Pics At:
http://www.pbase.com/flyingphotog/northern_az

It's fantastic up there with tons of photo worthy things. Best time for sun shaft shots in Antelope is (ugh) during the summer months when the sun is at its highest in the sky (you'll notice I didn't get any :( )

Any more questions, fire away...

Jay

[fivehole91]

Wow Jay... those are some amazing shots! so would it be a waste to go up there this time of year, or do you just miss the rays of light?

[Erich in Az]

Hi,
My name is Erich and I'm a photoholic. I'm from Tucson. I enjoy long walks on the beach and failing miserably at golf. I started taking pictures on this stuff called 'film' a long time ago and recently got back in things when I picked up my Rebel XT. Now, nothing is safe. I'm a computer guy by day and a husband and father by night. Between restroom trips, I also moonlight as a photographer.

I just finished a 300 mile photo-drive around southern Az yesterday with a buddy. We went from Tucson to Sierra Vista, Naco, Bisbee, Tombstone and then to Gleeson and Courtland. Had a good time, took about 500 shots and learned that chorizo should be eaten sparingly when doing remote shoots. Adding salsa to said chorizo should be even carefully contemplated. I also discovered that there is an XM radio station devoted to all AC/DC songs, all the time. Who knew?

I currently looking to start making a few bucks off photography to help support the habit, so I'm going to start getting my feet wet in the Stock industry. I've been accepted to Alamy and will start building that up as well as focusing on some micro-stock stuff as well. I think I really like doing sports shots as well (cycling is my favorite so far) and might work to transition to that side of the house.

As far as gear, I've got a 70-200 2.8 non-IS coming on Wednesday. I figure it's a good lens for a lot of stuff and my other 'good' lens is a Nifty-Fifty Mark I from back in the day when they actually used metal for mounts. I've also got a 55-250, the kit 18-55 and a 75-300 (again, about 14 years old) that's not a half bad lens. My body is, as I said an XT. Eventually I'll get an xxD, but for now, I'm doing OK with that.

Oh, and has anyone ever told you folks that you talk alot? :D

-Erich

[FlyingPhotog]

Wow Jay... those are some amazing shots! so would it be a waste to go up there this time of year, or do you just miss the rays of light?

I don't think any time of year could be considered a waste per se...

You may not get the tried and true, cliche shots but who wants those anyway?

The only drawback would be (and this is from a rabid anti winter person) is that it's getting freakin' cold! :shock: Also, the North Rim shuts down (and may have already done so...) for the winter because snow makes the road in unusable.

Snow on the rocks up there however would be awesome!

[FlyingPhotog]

Hi,

Welcome Erich...

You just missed a few of us at the Desert Museum this past Saturday...

ah yes, the cold... i would tolerate the cold if it meant getting some cool shots, and as you say, snow on the rocks would be very cool! I wonder when they shut it down... hmm...

Welcome Erich...

I'm planning on heading back there once my 70-200 gets here. I tried doing the hummingbird thing with my 55-250, but the slow focus and small aperature was killing me. They wouldn't let me catch one of those little suckers and tape it to a stick, so I had to let that go. I look forward to returning with my lens-on-a-stick and seeing if it helps. I'll get those tiny, twitchy little buggers if it's the last thing I do!

[disneydork06]

[macroshooter1970]

nice to see Jay and Jeremy finally take a break

[AZGerry]

Hi Erich, Welcome to the forum. Sorry you missed the gathering at the desert museum. I live south of Sierra Vista, and have traveled to those spots quite a few times. Let me know if you're coming back anytime soon.

Maybe we can get the group to come down here sometime in the next few months.

Here's what it looks like down here when it snows......

Near Douglas correct... head through to Portales?

[AZGerry]

Thanks for the kind words, Hatch. No, the entrance is on the west side of the Chiricahua mountains, not far from Pearce, AZ. Best way is to come down 10 to the turn off.

If you go to Portal / Rodeo, it's a real neat drive, but the entrance to the park is on the other side of the mountains. From Tucson, go to Willcox and take the turn-off, or a bit farther for a more scenic drive.

Been to both places, due to a couple of wineries in the area,,, hence the AZwinenut site.....

[Hatch1921]

I agree... we use to have parties when I was a kid on the Portal side... now that I'm a little older LOL I would like to photograph the place. Very scenic!

I'm hoping to take some shots of my group this week and see what happens. Got my 85 back from Canon today, so I was thinking I'd play with that some.

Hello from Ohio!

First off, great moon shot Jay! Secondly, I'm absolutely blown away as I'm 3 for 3 on the book submissions! :)

Hope everyone is doing well!!!

[ScottDR]

WOW! Congrats Kristy!!!!!! I just dug back 29 pages to find what Canon did and how it played out. That's awesome. Hope you enjoy it!

Some great shots from everyone as usual. Sounds like I've missed a couple more outings :(.

all nice and dry here, looks like snow for you in the AM :) get everything moved in yet.

Hey Mike,

We had quite a bit of rain today. It's supposed to be down to 25 tonight, so it might get white here :). It's still 53F right now though. Plus being 40 tomorrow means it'll all be gone if we do get some. I'm loving this!

The movers graced us with their company Thursday mid-day. We are still unpacking, not sure when that will ever be done :P.

haha, good luck unpacking! I still haven't unpacked some of my stuff from my move back home from school. but the majority of that stuff is my "winter" stuff from flag. :-)

[ScottDR]

Yeah, *sigh*. Will it never end? Hehe.

Wow, I'm on Facebook now. Finally.

I guess since they're all anonymous you could just lie to us all...

But you wouldn't play your friends like that would you?

[Kristy]

WOO HOO!!! :) I am a happy girl tonight! (well 99% happy anyway...the color is still wonky)

So I used the micro adjustment feature on the camera today.. because my 24-70 was still off.... focusing more on a person's chest rather than the eyes as intended...

So.... a little tweak.. and WAAA-LAA-AH... Freaking amazing!

All shot at f/2.8 no sharpening.. just the files.... and at close range and with full frame... :)

I'm so happy because for the last year... I have not been able to nail anything wide open.. and I know I have the ability to do it.. so... I LOOOOOVE the adjustment feature.. it is so totally up my alley.. lol... and now I don't have to send my lens in for adjusting.... I can do it myself!! YAY!!

So the only thing that bothers me now is the color of the files... it seems off to me... not sure why, but may have something to do with the camera profile not being recognized by my version of PS... not sure... Something I'll have to work on getting right.

#1 Eyes are in perfect focus...

#2 Great again...
http://ksnyderphoto.smugmug.com/photos/433894568_J9TS8-XL.jpg

#3 Just one eye... but the one in focus is what I intended... ISO @1250
http://ksnyderphoto.smugmug.com/photos/433894613_VFyxE-XL.jpg

#4 Missed slightly.. but still acceptable by my standard...

Did you tweak your 24-70 for 24mm, 70mm or average the two?

[jbdavies]

Yay Kristy!! :)

[Kristy]

Did you tweak your 24-70 for 24mm, 70mm or average the two?

Hell if I know... lol.... there is a little menu box that goes from -20 to +20... I messed with it using a barbie until I liked it.. then I shot the dog's eyes up close to see what would happen on a larger subject.. and I was pleased...

So I left it at +10 backward... whatever that means... All I know is that it worked... and I can tweak it whenever I want to... and the nice thing is that the camera can save the setting to that lens... When I pop on my 85.. I can adjust it or leave it as it is.. .and the camera remembers it... :)

[Hatch1921]

You see... it was the camera all this time!!! SO glad you are happy with the new camera. The images look great and even if Molly would like nothing more than to eat me... I like her shot the best. Very cool!

G'nite and get ready to start shooting more!!!

[Kristy]

Uhhhhh Does the focal length matter? DUh???

[disneydork06]

I guess since they're all anonymous you could just lie to us all...

But you wouldn't play your friends like that would you?I would never play my friends like that :-D :rolleyes:
so yeah, if the photo looks like mine, chances are it isn't :-) anyways, so i went ahead and looked...didn't get lazy about it this time. I just can't remember how many photos I submitted but I found four of my shots.:-)
