General Wedding and Hannah Montana Chit Chat Thread... (Part 5)

[Tommy]

Tommy, she's a girl...umm 12 I think....sorry, I thought people knew about her because i talk about her a lot. She makes some really good video's with crap stuff.

I along with a few other people purchased her a flip video to help her on her way. And some software also!

Ok... that explains a lot... lol... sorry, I never caught those conversations. ;)

[Chet]

That's pretty entertaining Leesa. I like the4:32:37 PM pandy: If not don't worry about it I'll screen shot it.

Morning kids.

[LeesaB]

Yeah "little girl" helps too :-)

Wow some crazy guy stabbed a woman a bazillion times and is not sitting outside his 4th floor window surrounded by police and EMS, in NYC.

[LeesaB]

That's pretty entertaining Leesa. I like the

Morning kids.

I knew what she wanted to do...I think it's been hard for a few of my closest friend to understand I'm at a different level.

I had one mom/friend ask me to take a shot of her son/daughter as they turned around and have it made into an 8x10 for the reception. I said I would if she asked the photographer shooting the wedding if it was ok.

WOW did she get upset with me.

I later found out said photographer would do it, but for 300 extra. She did not want to pay it and I was not willing to step over a professional line.

Thanks for posting that link Tommy! I was wanting to comment on your pics, just lost the link!

I'd be out there yelling "jump! jump! jump!"...

Saves on tax money... we wouldn't have to pay for his trial, all the appeals while he sits on death row, and the execution...

So I say, move yo a$$ to the front of the line, and jump... :D

[Tommy]

np James! Thanks for the comments. ;)

[LeesaB]

Tommy, you need to be a little more straight forward. Gotta come out of that shell

ahahahahhahahhahahah

[LeesaB]

James likes the last picture too....Imagine that!

[Tommy]

Tommy, you need to be a little more straight forward. Gotta come out of that shell

ahahahahhahahhahahah

Actually... now that I think about it, I'd tell him to wait a little before jumping... that way I have time to get my camera settings right. :D

[LeesaB]

I always wondered how many POTNers run to stuff like this to photograph it?

Obviously from my past police posts I would! LOL

[sidx001]

James likes the last picture too....Imagine that!

Hey now!! :D Tommy takes good pictures :) I was just supporting him...

[sidx001]

With my luck my lens wouldn't be long enough to reach the person!

[Tommy]

One of Robin's female friends commented on that photo also... she said "I like this! It's Cute! In an "I have no pants on" kind of way"... it made me lol...

[Tommy]

Don't worry... they'll be closer by the time they hit the ground...

This past year I encountered just that situation. There was a young teenage girl sitting on the fence above a RR overpass...45 feet up. She was threatening to jump. Her friends and the police were all trying to talk her down. I parked the car, grabbed my 30D w/the 17-55MM f/2.8 and framed her for the first shot. I took a long look at her face and I said "I can't do this." I put my camera away and left. Later on the police successfully talked her down and she was ok. I feel good about my decision.

I see both sides to the dilemma of taking pics during tragic times, but, had I been the mother or parent of that girl, I would appreciate those shots, no matter what the outcome.

My thought was as a Parent and a Grandparent I just could not see my kids being photographed in that situation...it was a hard decision...I am sure that I could have been published in the local papers with the shots I could have captured...I just could not do it. Elaine was in the car with me that day and she agreed.

[LeesaB]

I understand.

I remember the woman whose husband jumped from the twin towers. She saw a picture in a magazine and knew it was her husband because of the clothes he had on, she sought out the photographer and thanked him, because she saw her husbands end. Something many people did not get to see and it meant a lot to her for closure.

That photographer was attacked when he took those pictures and her comment alone made it worth his efforts.

I'm not disagreeing at all, just think it's two different views.

[sidx001]

One of my first jobs as a photographer was working for the local newspaper and I was asked to get stills of any event that a reporter was sent out on. Well, one of those events was of a man that had taken his life. It was a high profile case because he was the local judge and everyone knew him. My job was to take the pictures of the event, something that I struggled with. It was a tough situation, made even more so because the police wanted pictures taken of the scene as well and their photographer was on another assignment...gotta love small towns.

I determined from that experience that I really enjoyed shooting sports, fashion, weddings and maternities a lot more!

[JimAskew]

I understand. ... I'm not disagreeing at all, just think it's two different views.

Agree totally...one will never know how to react in a situation like that until the photo op presents itself.

James,

Me too :)

[LeesaB]

and i shoot State Marshalls breaking into my neighbors house, handcuffing them and taking them out.

:-)

Sounds like I live in the ghetto, close....getting very close...that's why I'm moving to Missouri!

[Tommy]

Hardly anything exciting ever happens in my town. :(

[LeesaB]

I lived next door to a meth/heroine house for many years. It's been empty now for two months. Happy days! The bank came yesterday and asked ME if it was vacant I said YES.

Homeowner stopped making payment 8 months ago and they are just not getting to it to winterize it for winter.

If we were staying, we would buy it, tear it down and use the property!

[LeesaB]

PS, I asked my husband if he could ask the neighbors to at least twice a month stand out in the yard and scream at each other and say the F word as many times as they could in a single sentence so I can adjust better to my new upper middle class, quiet working neighborhood!

It's so quiet there, I mean It's AWESOME!

[LeesaB]

You know Jared you Do say the F word a lot, now that I think back to that phone call we had. Why? I never ever understood what sense it made to make it an adverb or adjective in a sentence.

Now that you're there, exactly how quiet can it be?? hehe... :D

We laugh, we will be the noisiest up there...it's funny.

I SO LOVE IT... 21 houses..only one family has smaller kids and they are good. A neighbor has 2 rats errr dogs that come into our yard and bark at us when we leave our house, it's funny.

The F-Word is the most versatile word around... adverb, adjective, verb, noun... it can be anything!

There's no reason NOT to use it... lol...

That being said, I don't say it too f****** much...

[kja]

LOL Thanks, Guys. I'm pretty good at not putting the processing off ... that time of year is our busiest two weeks in my day to day job so it should be some long days!

[Bobster]

haha... thanks Bob! ;)
oh ok, you don't want help then ;)

well having a break from helping the move, up to the removal men now.. and not a moment too soon, just started peeing down with rain..

shot before the rain came

http://www.pbase.com/bob_hall/image/105600531.jpg

[LeesaB]

Awesome shot, I love the processing!

[LeesaB]

Okay so it looks like rain/snow tomorrow for my bride.

So, I was thinking....if I took one light with me....Do you think I could get away with one light in a church to do some shots?

I've not seen the church it's catholic so that scares me!

But I'm thinking....put the light to my right, up above the head pointing down.

or I could put the light directly behind me...and shoot it up in the ceiling to add more light?

UGH, I dunno, I don't want to take a whole studio....

[Chet]

Very pretty shot Robert.

Hi people, it's Friday.

When I shoot more than one person, I try not to put the light too far to one side... you'll get shadows from the other people in the group... I'd opt for center placement. ;)

[Derweissehai]

Afternoon all. Sorry it's been a couple of hectic days at work.....grr. Hope everyone is well. Working on the fine art stuff I did sunday. all caught up from the wedding and calender

[sapearl]

Hi there folks..... still recuperating ( and will for some time) :rolleyes:

The majority of the residual arm/nerve trauma pain seems to be gone. It used to spike to a 7 at night and keep me awake for hours, but now it's a 3-4 I can deal with by picking the right chair and pillow combination. Wife yells if she catches me at the PC though, says it's bad for my neck. With this cement brace though, there's not a whole lot of movement. - Stu

[Tommy]

Hey Stu!

I hope you can make a speedy recovery! It's good to hear that at least the pain isn't as bad...

[kja]

Stu ... glad to hear there is progress! You sound like you are coping quite well ;)

Busy day today for me and hopefully I can get everything done before tomorrow as I want to sneak out for a couple of dives before heading into the dive shop for work LOL

[Maureen Souza]

I survived a grueling work week and now have 5 days off. Am shooting a baby shower next Tuesday but lot's of lazy time between now and then.

So how are all of you?!?

[kja]

Before I head out on my shoot, I played with the 85 1.8 yesterday just because I do love this lens and it's been neglected lately.

Here's Lobo keeping an eye on things from his bar stool

Shoot's been moved to Monday now :p

[sapearl]

Hey Tom - every day is a little bit better ;). Thanks.

Hey Stu!

I hope you can make a speedy recovery! It's good to hear that at least the pain isn't as bad...

[Derweissehai]

NEWS FLASH FOR TOM....Leesa is having problems getting on the site...she was asking to see if you could check to see if it's on the sites end.....I dunno. Krisitn...I do hope it will work. But after buying the 2 new G10's just now...I seriously doubt she will let me buy anything new for awhile now.

[sapearl]

Hello Kristin - I've sort of put my brain on hold, just not planning anything right now except convalescence. Boy, does daytime TV suck. Fortunately I have some nice, good old fashioned library books. :D

No kidding on daytime tv...I often have it on in my office for background noise and it's astounding what drivel comes on. Thank goodness for our tivo-type thingy so I can just replay a movie or something!

I love books...I read every day, couldn't be without books!

[Kathy H]

Good morning!

It's Saturday and for the first time in over 8 months I have it free! Yippee! No shoots today or tomorrow, just lots of catching up on processing so I will be ready Monday to start winter sports.:D

Hope everyone is doing good!

[sapearl]

Good morning all - finally made it through the morning cup-o-joe. Sleeping much better now except it's very difficult to find a comfortable position that accomodates the $!@)#&)#*^%$# neck brace.

Very little residual arm pain from the nerve damage anymore, so I am making real good progress... just a lousy headache this morn; probably withdrawal from the narcotic pain killers - evil things... they do their job, but really dope you up.

I completely agree Kristin, books are wonderful things. We have an excellent library system and my wife and I are always ordering our lates faves.

LOL I don't know why you think it won't work? Works a dream imho!

Hey there friends, I have a question about "Do-it-yourself-calendars." Have any of you ever done these using a comercial service?

What I have in mind is the 12-month kind, where you feature a single photo - typically 8x10 - which is at the top of the calendar, connected by the spiral binding to the actual calendar which occupies the full bottom page. I know there are several online services like Vista Print (Office Max) that have this service for a modest few. Just curious what experiences others have had. Thanks - stu

Kristin,

Great shots...really shows what the 85MM f/1.8 can do.

It will work just fine on the 40D...I use it all the time on my 30D as a wedding portrait lens.

[sapearl]

Kristin - Jim just focused my attention on your 85 1.8 shots. Those are really nice... love that shallow DOF. I bought that lens about 8 months ago and periodically play with it. For a non-L lens I feel it's quite superb. It does a fantastic job and can be had very economically.

Stu,

I went thru MPIX on one I made for a model. She was extremly happy with the outcome and so was I. But do some checking around to see if you can find any that are the glossy type. The one I got was the long kind. But did have single months. Hope this helps.

[JimAskew]

Stu,

Great to see you posting here again...you are obviously on the road to recovery. That is wonderful news. Just take it easy and don't push yourself too fast...it does take time to heal. Looks like you now have a wonderful opportunty to catch up on your reading :)

See we can act grown up when we have to..

Morning everyone...

I'm off for most of the morning, supposed to do a family shoot but it's pretty cold out there.

[Derweissehai]

Well I managed to clean the bathrooms and then update both blogs.....wordpress may have been a dup but oh well. Leesa have fun on the shoot and stay warm.....It's a bit chilly here but should warm up by the middle of the day. Well off to goof off.

Robert,

Very nice photo. I think that it is wonderful that you honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to your Nation.

Remembrance Sunday is like our Memorial Day in May each year where we honor those Service Men and Women who gave their lives in defense of freedom.

[Tommy]

Hi everyone! Hope you all are having a great weekend!

[thekid24]

my last un healthy meal/coke/ and sadly....beer for the next 6 months.

Im indulging today.lol.

By tomorrow it will start to be grilled chicken/water and milk.

Its a shame too cuz i just got a bottle opener ring to wear...I guess I can use it as a reminder of what not to drink:p

[LeesaB]

A diet Jared?

How is everyone? tom, jim?

So today while sorting through this wedding, which at times was very emotional, at the time did not affect me at all, but while sorting I found myself become a bit taken by the emotion.

Plus for anyone who may need it for some strange reason our sync times on our cameras got off by about an hour..

If you go into lightroom, metadata and capture time, you can change the capture time of all those pics. in one click! Amazing! It sure saved me a butt load of work!

[thekid24]

A diet Jared?
Nope, just a decision to eat better for my workout.

Doesnt make sense to bust my a$$ in the gym and then not eat correctly.

Smart boy.

I am off for a 3 mile jaunt myself...between rainclouds :)

[LeesaB]

you got that correct!

[JimAskew]

I went to the Alexandria Cemetery at 7:30Am today to capture fall foilage. It was a beautiful and crisp morning. I spent four hours and got 130 great captures. Here is my favorite...I love the subtle play of light and shadow here. 5D and 24-105MM f/4 EF L...enjoy:

[Derweissehai]

Nice capture Jim. Well after the issues with the computer and all files being corrupted for uploads....I think I fixed it...but now the files are back to there original sizes....I hope. Jared..I know what your going thru..I have been watching what I eat for the last 2 weeks and it's rough...but worth it in the end. Hope everyone has a good night.

[thekid24]

Thanks, it really isnt hard. Ive done it once before dropping from 250 to 180. I remember vividly what it takes, it just turns out I was eating to lose weight while lifting to gain muscle. It was counter-productive.

This time around Im wiser....kinda like Tom...but not wizard wise yet:D

[Derweissehai]

It can be at times...but a strong will always prevails. We all need the all seeing eye Tom has. I eat to loose weight and lift to maintain what I have.

[JimAskew]

Thanks, it really isnt hard. Ive done it once before dropping from 250 to 180. I remember vividly what it takes, it just turns out I was eating to lose weight while lifting to gain muscle. It was counter-productive.

This time around Im wiser....kinda like Tom...but not wizard wise yet:D
Jarad,

I dropped from 300+ to 230 about three years ago. I am 6'4" so my "insurance" weight is 220...I look like a scarecrow at that weight :) It takes a change in lifestyle. For me...I started walking and I cleaned out all the junk food in the house. I eat anything I want but I do so sensibly and in moderation.

[thekid24]

exactly.

for me, wanting to build muscle...I need to be careful about the calories i eat...just enough to fuel...not too much to be turned into fat.

[LeesaB]

Jim,

I so agree with cleaning things out. I think a man over 6' under 200 is too thin, ya gotta have some meat on ya somewhere, even with muscle....ICK..(sorry)

[LeesaB]

Ninja turtle key=home key
truck key to unlock
truck key to ignition
truck key to gas cap
grandmas car key
key to lockbox:)
key to old Coca Cola machine
key to moms house
key to sisters house
key to my bedroom

[Kathy H]

A different key to unlock the truck and one to drive it. What year is your truck?

We have a box of keys that we have no idea what they go to. I don't know why we keep them, they obviously don't unlock anything we still use. But come to think of it, we have a lot of stuff we don't use, but we keep it. Maybe we are part pack rat! lol

[LeesaB]

Okay everyone...first edits done! I have WAY too many pics, it was a good wedding..

Nite all, previews tomorrow.

[Kathy H]

Hi Leesa! Good night Leesa!:D

Friday I start the first session of winter sports, middle school boys basketball. The sports photo taking will go thru January. I have a few more seniors booked for this month, a few families, and 2 weddings in December. So I will get behind again.:( Oh well, I can't complain, busy is good......right?:confused:

yeah they dumbed everything down for the kids..

Baxter Stockman was a young black scientist who had invented some robots called Mousers to help control a rat problem in the city sewers, but he was using them to help him break into banks and do other crimes, but his Assistant April O'Neil found out and he sent the Mousers after her, she was saved by the TMNT. Baxter thought the Mousers had killed her and continued with his plans..

He held the city to ransom with the Mousers threatening to destroy some landmarks with them etc. April and the Turtles defeated him and off he went to Jail..

April now out of a Job decided to reopen her father's antique store 'Second Time Around' and the Turtles moved in with her.. but in a fight with Shredder and his band of Ninja (Foot Clan) the store is destroyed in a fire and they have to move to a Farm House which is owned by Casy Jones (vigilante)

the kids cartoon was so screwed up - i was pretty excited to see it coming to the TV, but after just 1 episode i was put off for life, they just messed so many things up! Pizza, cowabunga?? dude!? Initials on the belts and different coloured masks?please!

Afternoon!

Going into the 2nd phase of working these pics...WOW did we do good! LOL, on those things that don't count, but do.

WOW!

[Chet]

Afternoon to you.

[tsw910]

good afternoon everyone .. and man, going through all the pages ive missed was whoa .. lol

anyways .. as some of you know that i recently acquired the 17-40 f/4 and i want to share some of the reviews on this lens during a wedding i shot yesterday ..

the colors were great untouched and the UWA was definitely nice addition to my gear .. i dont know why i didnt have this lens till now .. it was great in tight spots and tight hallways and large groups, especially at this particular wedding, there was so much action on the dance floor, it really really served me well .. the F/4 was kinda weak, but thats what FEC on the flash was made for .. right? lol .. but for the price and build of this lens, its great for what its for and it made my job so much easier for me to get the whole mood of the wedding.

i'll post more as more info comes to me .. lol

[LeesaB]

Scuba Tom :-)

thanks for that review, it always helps to know what others think of lenses and equipment.

I love when people share their knowledge. It sure helps with decisions I want to make.

How's life? Can't wait to see the pics!

[Bobster]

I'm on my way to shower, then off to shoot a Veterans memorial unveiling downtown.

We placed a brick there for my husbands father who served in WWII, actually stepped on Pattons toes :-) So I'm going to try to find our brick and take a few pics for Jim since he can't be here for it.

Pics up soon...wedding and veterans day.

[JimAskew]

If you see a Veteran today...give him/her a hug...we owe them all a huge debt of gratitude!

Adam,

When your G10s arrive...go to eBay and pick up two of these Canon SC-DC60A cases...$60 each! Get the classic 50's camera look :)

They come in black, brown, red, and yellow :-)

That I will. I got an email yesterday saying one of them was delayed till the ship day of the 17th and then other shipped today and Iknow the wife will take that one...lol. I need to make sure that the wife uses the wrist strap this time..if she breaks this one then she is out of luck on another one and doesn't get mine.

They come with a neck strap...very thin...I tossed that and used the Canon straps that came with 5D...I have a POTN strap on the 5D.

The leather cases are only sold in Japan...go figure! I plan to get the brown case...it is very 50s for sure :)

BTW...where did you order your G10s from? I got mine at BestBuy.
