Let's hope he's like Tiger, not sure where he would get the mad skillz, I've never golfed.

Very nice score! Can't wait to see some output! Looking for a super wide lens in my future.

[Kathy H]

Hey we moved again! I almost didn't find us.:)

What's up with the Hannah Montana bit?:confused:

Chet those shots are fantastic! Soooooo cute and the colors are perfect! I would not have even noticed any "blown" spots if you hadn't mentioned them. They look great!

A Hannah Montana band-aid?:confused:

Wow, what did I miss? lol

ah .. i wish i can go that wide ... :(

[kja]

Lloyd, PictureCrazy here, uses this lens on his FF body and adores it. Says it rocks at 14 2.8 and in the right situation even is great at 13mm 2.8 - fwiw.

Hi, Kathy! He's a cutie!

Hi, Kathy! He's a cutie!
Hi Kristin! Thanks for looking! He was a little pain in the butt! lol His poor mom was so frustrated and embarrassed, she was just sure her child is the only one that acts up at photo shoots. I have had a lot of family shoots lately and seems they all have at least one small child that does NOT want to cooperate, including my own granddaughter! lol

[Maureen Souza]

Kathy, I would love to know what settings you use...I loved the shot where he is running.....what settings did you take that with? Do you use fill flash?

[thekid24]

Wow, what did I miss? lol
a friend of mine is going to be doing her clinicals in Jan and so I have volunteered my veins for her practice.

The Hanna badaid was from my niece who noticed that a piece of broken glass I was throwing away cut through the bag and caught my arm. So she knew exactly where those bandaids were at since they are for her.

She wanted to put it on me but gettin the wrapper off became too much of a chore for a 5 year old;)

heres one with no blood...but a blood red background:D

[Belmondo]

Hey, guys.

I've been away for a couple days.

Here's proof I really do own a camera.......

[Kathy H]

Kathy, I would love to know what settings you use...I loved the shot where he is running.....what settings did you take that with? Do you use fill flash?

Most of the time I use Av, aperture priority and I set the exposure up 1/3 because I find that Av under exposes a lot of the time. I almost always use fill flash, 580EX set on high speed sync if I am in Av. Sometimes if I don't have enough light to get a fast enough shutter speed, I will shoot in Tv and set according to how much motion I need to stop. I seldom use manual anymore, to much trouble with fast action children! lol

The shot of the little boy running was shot with the 70-200.
Av at 2.8, exposure +3
ISO 100
1/1600 which is what the camera chose
and flash

two other things that help me.......RAW and Lightroom :D

Nice place! Looks like a good time to me!

Tucson. Good guess.

The resort is the Marriott Starr Pass Resort and Spa.

The other two are the Saguaro National Park. Beautiful place.

really ? i've checked that lens and its telling me that it only fits EF-S mount, not EF .. we are talking about the Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 AT-X Pro DX?

I was wondering how you consistantly got such great lighting! I will practice with my aperture settings.... I usually use Shutter speed settings for my action shots. Many thanks!!

I have been to Arizona MANY times.:D My favorite city there is Kingman, in fact we almost moved there several years ago.

[Kathy H]

I was wondering how you consistantly got such great lighting! I will practice with my aperture settings.... I usually use Shutter speed settings for my action shots. Many thanks!!

I prefer to choose my aperture for the DOF and if there is plenty of light the shutter is usually fast enough. Try setting the exposure up 1/3 and remember if you use flash use high speed sync, otherwise you usually get blow out BAD! lol

[kja]

Kathy - interesting! I only shoot on manual, just because that's what I've learned to do, but your method sounds like a good option...I'll have to have a play around with it.

[LeesaB]

I'm doing good, sad that our wedding season is ending, I have three more weddings in Nov. then it looks like that is it.

Have 5 booked for 09 already so that is GREAT!

With the move and all I guess it is best as it is.

[Tommy]

I have a wedding on Saturday.... then I have one in December, and one in January....

[LeesaB]

I've got sat, then the next a two week break (going to Missouri) then a wedding the 29th....

These Saturday after a holiday weddings break me.

Morning kids.

[LeesaB]

ahh back from my moms not a long trip at all...

I've not seen much like it.... not sure what they are going to do...

I'll let everyone know when we finally decide. although, she's rather funny, it's just not her.

[sidx001]

Greetings all! It's another gorgeous day in paradise, but my goodness! I go to sleep with one page up in here and I wake up to 5! Outstanding :)

Great shots everyone, love the kids

Morning everyone!!

[Chet]

Hey James.

[LeesaB]

HI james...

My paradise has snow...some laying, but it's gone now. I think I wished it away...

Oh you guys have to do this...it's so freaky, got it off another thread...

[Jon]

Guess you all must like the new digs - you've posted more in the past day than you did the last week of the old thread . . .

[Chet]

That's whack I'm a right brainer.

[LeesaB]

I think it's just me....I have no one to talk to since my family is in Missouri, no weddings till Saturday and work is all caught up....

[LeesaB]

That's whack I'm a right brainer.

yeah me TOO, I can't get that stupid girl to go the other way for nothing,

My daughter see's her going both, she says she goes right, then it's like a bump and left.

but to be honest, I am so those characteristics, so it matches for me.

If I spin my finger on her feet the opposite way I can kind of get her to reverse.

[LeesaB]

Okay I have to try that...

[LeesaB]

ha, for a moment I got it to work...maybe one spin! ha!@

[sidx001]

I'm with your daughter, I go first right then left....cool page though!!

[Tommy]

I guess I'm a right brainer... I can't make her spin count-clockwise for the life of me!

[Kathy H]

right brainer for me too

[LeesaB]

no wonder we all fit so well in this thread together....

[tsw910]

righty here too ! .. and the list is some what true too lol

ok guys .. as you all know that i am between 17-40 and 16-35 .. so i found some 17-40 on another forum .. the price isn't bad and its UU coded .. but i just re-read the thread and it said it has a nick in by the rear dust cover seal .. would that matter much? i would post the picture, but its not mine and i dont want to link to another forum on here .. so what ya'll think ?

[Chet]

I'm dizzy, I got her to spin the other way and I couldn't spin her back. I notice if I look away to the left and then look back at her going right I can reverse her spin.

[Tommy]

Depending on how bad the nick is, I probably wouldn't worry about it... ;)

[tsw910]

thanks Tom

but do you think its worth it? price shipped is 525 .. and if i go to B&H, i can get it at $650 .. i keep asking myself is $125 worth saving or i can have a peaceful mind if i go to B&H .. decisions, decisions .. decisions ..

[Chet]

thanks Tom

Peace of mind.... If it was faulty and needed repair it would cost you.

[Tommy]

Well... that's a 20% savings going with the used lens... if you look at it that way, it's tempting...

[Tommy]

If it was faulty and needed repair it would cost you.

That's a good point Chet...

I'm wondering... can you contact Canon, give them a serial number and have them tell you if it was ever in for repair or not? I'm not sure if they give out that kind of info...

[tsw910]

Peace of mind.... If it was faulty and needed repair it would cost you.

opps .. peace of mind lol .. sorry..

very true Chet


Well... that's a 20% savings going with the used lens... if you look at it that way, it's tempting...

yeah, i can either save 20% and wait, or pick it up tonight and have it with me for my weekend shoot ..

im pretty crazy when buying a lens and having it shipped .. cuz its glass and i know how UPS treats these boxes .. and if i bought it through B&H, i can test drive it for 14 days and if i dont like it .. i can return it for full refund ..

i think my choice is clear now .. thanks everyone

[LeesaB]

Oh wow, what to do...I'm a saver, as my son says I'm amish but he is 20 with more money that he can handle so what does he know! I just let him babble on and figure one day he'll figure it out.

But for other people I'm like GET IT NOW! So I can live through them and enjoy it also!

SO GO GET IT! :-)

[Belmondo]

Well, I checked out the spinning lady, and it took a minute. I managed to get her to spin both way, although I had to resort to a little trickery to get her to change directions.

I found that I could reverse her spinning by looking at the reflection of her feet at the bottom of the picture. For some reason, that made it easier for me.

[Kathy H]

I'm dizzy, I got her to spin the other way and I couldn't spin her back. I notice if I look away to the left and then look back at her going right I can reverse her spin.
That worked for me once too, wow! That is just almost sickening!lol

THANKS LEESA! Now I am dizzy and have a headache! :lol::p

it's the craziest thing LOL

ooooo That is so wrong on so many levels

Happy 27K chief. Leesa's not that old, but I'll mind my manners anyhow.

[sidx001]

<<still chuckling over Chet's comment.

I just finished going through the volleyball pictures from last night. Can I just say how much of a difference the 1D makes? Oh my goodness. I shot @ ISO 3200 and the IQ is dang nice! I'm loving this camera :D

[LeesaB]

oooooo funny guys ahahhahahah

I wanted to respond faster but our internet is being stupid today

[LeesaB]

waiting for my son to get home in Missouri! I have the web cam on so I can see him come home....He says "Hi Mom" then gets something to eat and then goes outside to throw balls around!

Nothing like a web cam!

[tsw910]

hey guys .. im not sure if this is old or not .. but i just saw this video made by the new 5DII .. so .. here it is

http://www.vincentlaforet.com/

[LeesaB]

I've not seen that before Tom, interesting..

I also just checked out Picto books from the show...

YIKES for a 16 spread book 10x10 they want 561 hmmmm

I guess I'll be sticking with what I have for now

I like memador and asuka, although I was not happy memador did not do a table at the show..made me a bit uneasy...

[tsw910]

really ? i was actually pretty impressed by graphistudio's display and booth .. and if you signed up, you'll get in the mail that portfolio and carrying case for free !!!

and in Nov, they are coming out with a drag and drop album designer software that can be used to go with their books

[LeesaB]

I have the graphi stuff and created a book...

I even wrote about it on WFF, it took 8 weeks to get back, their customer service was HORRIBLE, I even talked with the head of our area in NY at a seminar and she literally brushed me off.

SO after that I refused to go with them. The book is amazing. But, I can't deal with that kind of attitude when I am dealing with clients that want their books and I can't give them an answer.

So nope, no graphi for me. sorry... I will probably never deal with them because of that!

[LeesaB]

Tom, check out memador, talk to a guy named Jay, tell him I sent you! He's amazing and customer service there is splendid, beyond that!

I made so far three books with them, I let them do the designing and was very very pleased!

[tsw910]

SWEET ! .. thanks for the tip leesa !

[LeesaB]

never a problem!

[Tommy]

Yeah... I checked out PictoBooks before also... way too pricey...

[LeesaB]

especially to add to a package or to resale.

So...moving on from there....

Supposed to be very cold tonight...

[Chet]

Yup.

[LeesaB]

Okay folks...let's get this party going!!!

[LeesaB]

Here is a picture for you, see these two girls..They almost became part of the pavement on our trip home from NYC

Apparently college kids feel if you pass them it is a threat and a challenge and it happened more then once with more then one vehicle.

These girls tried to pass us, with not enough space with a semi in front of them and us in the passing lane going 90, she almost lost control of the car and struggled to gain control. then kept "playing" with us for several miles. So...I took their picture!

Now the sad thing about this is. It was me and my daughter....what if we were some crazy folk? What she did not realize was,

1. I knew her college (pasted on the back window of her car)
2. I had her license plate number
3. I had her picture

We could have easily taken the exit at Lock Haven and followed her, and if we were not sane people it may have not been good for her.

Why do most college kids have no brains? Now a days is not the days to be screwing with people.

Okay well....thought I would post it up for your opinions!

Okay well....thought I would post it up for your opinions!Did you get model releases signed?

[LeesaB]

I tried, I hung out the window with paper and pen, but they just would not sign...so I can never get any money for that pic!

[Chet]

Out in a public place. Isn't that the saving factor for model releases?

[LeesaB]

If I am right, I can take whatever pics I want as long as I do not use them for monatary gain or advertising without a release.

I'll give you $2 for it.

[thekid24]

I did something something similar on the way home from outta town today.

This car was in the right lane, I, in the left(passing lane)

I was going well over the speed limit. 90mph at one point, but this car decided to whip aggressively behind me to avoid the traffic, then aggresively whip back into the right lane and speed up to pass.

I thought...."NUH UH!" and kept my speed well above theirs, forcing them to whip back hehind me at least 9 times.

After the first 3 I noticed what this car was doing, so each time he/she had to whip back behind me, me n my brother chuckled.

My intentions were not to piss them off, of course if I happened to do so and it were come to blows, Im confident I could handle my own.

Regardless, it was just something to do on a 2 hour drive. Before we knew it we were back in the city and mere minutes from home.

Im in college, I have a brain, at least I didnt put my schools logo on the back of my truck. GAW!

Dang, I'll have to take it off my flyers now... :-)

HA almost every one of the crazy kid drivers had their college logo on the car, I laughed...one kid was hilarious, he had his hand on the cruise and EVERY time he came up to a spot that a cruiser would sit he would slow it down, then speed it up, and he hated to be passed by anyone.

But literally you could not stay behind him driving like that.

what i like doing is getting ahead of someone like that and pull up pretty even with the person in the next lane over...and make a moving barracade.....oh man that makes them yunguns so mad.

Of course all of them Ive encountered have been all bark n not even a hint of a bite.
When I motion to them to pull over and get it started, they flip me the bird and speed off, then i laugh.

My daughter gets SO mad at me when I do that...but that is a favorite of mine also....

Hey that's one of my favorite past times also. And the trick is trying to make it appear that I'm not doing it. With a stick shift I can down shift to slow down without the tell tale brake lights.

You so soo much on the road when traveling so much crazy stuff...man, it's just not worth it to me to get there 1 minute earlier or even 10 or a 1/2 hour. Just not worth it...

Time for me to get to bed...

Sudoku and sleep! :-)

i just use my judgement of speed.

1: how fast will i need to be to get just ahead of the nearby car?
2: which will in turn give me an idea of how much i will slow down once I let off the gas
3: then the slight gas i will have to give it to catch up or get even with the car next to me.

all that in mind takes away for the need of breaks and thus the break lights.

Quite simple when ya think about it ....THATS ALL im trying to say...THATS ALL...when ya think about it.

Good Morning..

I think Jared and I are over are road rage now LOL

Ummm It's cold here, but my political sign has been in my yard for a week...the first one laster 2 days!

[LeesaB]

Okay off to the gym....

Every time I turn my mouse upside down to make the ball work again, I'll think of you Tom (belmondo) What a neat cool trick! and it works EVERY time!

:-)

[Chet]

Step 1) neuter your mouse (remove it's ball)
Step 2) Clean all the crap off of the rollers inside
Step 3) Replace the ball
Step 4) Enjoy...
Step 5) Buy an optical mouse before it get's dirty again.

Step 4.5) Wash Hands before using computer and remove all that dead skin that rubs off on the mouse mat and then gathers on the ball and sticks to the rollers inside the mouse ;)
Step 5) Buy an optical mouse before it get's dirty again.

It is an optical mouse, Tom. It's the little ball/scroll wheel on the top that has the problem. Apple's 'Mighty Mouse' isn't so mighty at times, but it's pretty easy to fix. Apparently it's susceptible to getting dirty.

[Tommy]

ah! Thanks for the correction Bob! lol... ;)

Very useful. Nobody wants dirty mouse balls.;)

[LeesaB]

[JimAskew]

Very useful. Nobody wants dirty mouse balls.;)
Or, clean ones for that matter ;)

[LeesaB]

YIKES...

I'm reading a new book on marketing for non direct marketing business it's super good and I suggest buying it and reading it...it's got some great ideas...

No B.S. Direct Marketing by: Dan Kennedy...

[Tommy]

Or....

You can read it, and then report all the information back to us. :D lol...

I'll have to check the local book store for it. That's one thing I really need to work on... marketing...

[LeesaB]

yeah okay....

but honsesly he has a set of rules I can list in a bit, that make SO MUCH stupid sense and we do a lot of them, but one we just started to do today,

[LeesaB]

Oh and if your going to read....get PurpleCow by Seth Godin...another good read...

[Belmondo]

Or, clean ones for that matter ;)

You raise a good point, Jim.;)

[Tommy]

You know... I LOVE to read! But lately I don't have much time to. :(

[LeesaB]

and I hate to read, but lately I've been reading more and more...

Hello there my friends ...... it has been a while, and not of my choosing. I probably won't be checking in for some time to come. It all depends upon how my surgery goes tomorrow morning.

I'll try to give the short version - typing is difficult in spite of the pain meds :confused: Out of the blue, I've been hit with a herniated disk, and doc is going to see how much of it he can repair Friday. The operation will be about 4 hours, I won't be able to drive for 6 weeks, and they are saying I'll have to wear one of those "collars" for 6-12 months.

Needless to say, my active photography life has now been put totally on hold. - Stu

[sapearl]

Hey there Leesa - reading isn't so bad ;).... matter of fact that's ALL I'll be doing for a while.

and I hate to read, but lately I've been reading more and more...

[LeesaB]

Awwww...Stu.... :-(

so so sorry to hear that....You know we will all be praying for you and sending positive thoughts your way and anxiously waiting to her how you have done.

My uncle had that surgery a few years ago, he was up and about in no time and has no problems to this day!

Your going to do fine.

Reading, ICK...lol, but you know in our new house it is so quiet and peaceful I actually thought of reading by the fire as a nice way to relax...actually can't wait to give it a try!
