Let's see those Grandchildren!

[HoosierJoe]

Grandparents are famous for showing off the grandchildren.

So let's do it.

This is our youngest of three: Veronica Susanne 6 weeks old yesterday.

My only grandson.......Really like this one.

[oldvultureface]

I'll play again. She's holding a kidney stone removed two weeks ago. Ellie's had a rough medical life so far.

My sister's newest granddaughter... I can't stop taking photos of her!!! I know she will grow too fast :)

[steveathome]

I think I'm the most guilty one here for Grand kid shots :D

Yes, they can be a real headache. You have to visit them, buy cute clothes for them, read to them, take them to the park, teach them to ride a bike. Do you know how much a Thomas train set costs? Sorry to have gone off topic.

What a cool car set! Is she like my oldest? She tends to like the supposed "boy" things like cars.

[4Bucks]

Oh, I love the idea of grandkids... just with a teenage daughter (and a very good girl) the topic put a momentary scare in me. In due time (no less than 8 years I hope) I may be the one to revive this thread with a bunch of pictures of my cute... and slightly spoiled grandkids. You guys all have some cuties. And most of you don't look old enough to be "grandma" or "grandpa". Good for you.
Now less babble and more pictures!

[cbrown]

Don't you just love grand kids? Two of my Grand Son.

Yep, the dolls collect dust and the toys with mechanical components get a lot of wear.

Looks like a fun group. Thanks for sharing.

[HoosierJoe]

Question:
Are you one of those grandparents who pulls out the wallet and shows the grandchildren to people.

I know I am.

[HoosierJoe]

This girl always has the hair in the face thing going.

[Nancy]

Abby is our first grandchild! I have falling in love all over again!

Question:

I know I am.

Grandma has her brag book, but my work environment isn't good for keeping my wallet and pictures clean. For me, her pictures and story (written by her mom) exist on the web. See my home page in my profile or Google 'OEIS Complex' and look for 'Ellie'.

[swoCanuk]

Nancy, congratulations! nice picture.

[HoosierJoe]

Veronica 2 months old.

Just found out our daughter is having another one this summer. That makes four since 2005 from our two kids.

I am so sorry to hear about her medical issues. Doesn't seem fair does it? My prayers are with her.

[oldvultureface]

I am so sorry to hear about her medical issues. Doesn't seem fair does it? My prayers are with her.

Thanks. She's a trooper. She goes to Riley once a week to have the expander enlarged. By late April, she will have her abdomen closed with the stretched skin.

My 1 1/2 year old grandaughter Layla. You must hold your tongue just right if you want to stay in the lines LOL:)

[JoShAdKa4]

Hi all! New here, been lurking till I came across this thread and felt this is where I could say Hi and introduce myself. My name is Cindy and I have 3 beautiful grandchildren that I take care of while my children work, here in Northwest Indiana. I am somewhat of a newbie with the camera but I get a lucky shot off every once in a while. Hopefully I will be able to capture some great shots like I have seen posted here. All I can say is cute, cute, cute.... there are some cute pictures here. Maybe I will figure out how to post pictures and share a few with you. Cindy

[-g-]

Welcome to POTN, Cindy!

[oldvultureface]

My 1 1/2 year old grandaughter Layla. You must hold your tongue just right if you want to stay in the lines LOL:)

You can really see the concentration in their young faces when they're doing something new.:)

[JoShAdKa4]

Im not sure it there is a place for practice posting, couldn't find it. This will be my first attemps at posting pictures

[HoosierJoe]

Keep posting.
I am without a camera right now while waiting for delivery of a 30D and a Tamron 17-35 lens. So I will be enjoying everyone else's g'kids pictures while I wait.

[fotogrl_08]

My sister's newest granddaughter... I can't stop taking photos of her!!! I know she will grow too fast :)

She is adorable! Great photos:D

[fotogrl_08]

Abby is our first grandchild! I have falling in love all over again!
Nancy <;0)342267

Great picture Nancy, can't wait to see more:)

[JoShAdKa4]

Ok here I go again, trying to upload my grandbabies pictures. I have 3 grandbabies and it will only let me upload 2 pictures, so I guess I will have to post my other picture seperate.... here goes...

[JoShAdKa4]

Hi again, trying to post again, it looks like my second attempt was better than my first. I have to say though the picture of my grand daughter seems a little on the big size. I have no idea what I did different but this time I am posting 2 more of my Jaxon. now usually the only shots I get of him (busy boy) is his backside so I threw in the lucky shot I got of him playing cowboy while his sister was a ballerina. I hope you like them, I am finding it oh so hard to take pictures of these 3, they just move so so much.

Way cool. so forget everything I said up there about my grand daughter's picture being too big, I went back and made it smaller.

[oldvultureface]

Fourth birthday party this afternoon-a quiet moment:

http://i735.photobucket.com/albums/ww357/oldvultureface/IMG_2031.jpg

[oldvultureface]

... they just move so much.

Cool them to six degrees above absolute zero. If that doesn't work, catch them with a full tummy just before nap time.:)

[HoosierJoe]

Love the shirt!

Possibly the most photographed Kid in the world lol.

So many photons have been captured photographing her that Earth has been cooled by .00026 degrees Kelvin.

[JoShAdKa4]

hi all I can see that so many of you use the manual setting on your camera, and I am learning how to use that mode taking full control of my camera and I have to say I'm getting along quite well. Then along come my kids and their babies and back to auto and P mode i run (what a whimp I know). I will try the av mode and see where that gets me, it seems like i skipped that mode went from P to M and bypassed the Tv and Av.

oh wait are we only to share pictures here or can we chat also?

I will try the av mode and see where that gets me, it seems like i skipped that mode went from P to M and bypassed the Tv and Av.

oh wait are we only to share pictures here or can we chat also?I just read a book by big, big, time pro Rick Sammon. He uses all of his modes. You aren't a whimp if you use whatever mode gets you the best results for that situation. I know we have a lot of people here who strictly use M. And there are even some who kind of look askance at anyone who doesn't use M. But they aren't you or I. If M works best for them then great.

Personally, I have try to use them all. They all have their plus and minus for the situation at hand. I love M for flash photography. But I love P for some things and I used Av on my film camera for over 20 years because that's what it had, so I use Av a lot. Tv doesn't get much of a workout. I paid for all of the modes on this camera so why limit myself to only one?

[HoosierJoe]

You mean there's hope for "global warming"?

[oldvultureface]

(what a whimp I know)

:lol:

You mean there's hope for "global warming"?

If everyone with grandchildren contributes to this thread, "global warming" will become a distant memory and the word "Earth" will no longer have to be capitalized.:)

Manual for me also with flash, otherwise usually AV.

[JoShAdKa4]

Thanks hoosierjoe, you know thats what I tell people when they ask me what mode I use. But I guess being amongst such talent here one could get a little intimidated. I like to call it the don't have time to think mode.
Here is one shot I got of my grandson when he was first born, this was taken through the glass window at the hospital that had those funny security wires (looks like chicken wire) shot. I want to say I shot it in the P mode, with my rebel xt and my 85mm lens.
I call it babies first breath-God's miracle.
Oh and congrats on the upcoming addition, I too have 3 grandchildren since 2005, 3 year old, 19 months, and 1 year. I would love for my son to have another one.

[JoShAdKa4]

No way oldvultureface (sorry don't know how to use the quotes yet) I have admired your pictures, like the one up there with your grand daughter blowing bubbles. I would definitely run for the green box. And how come you have such beautiful weather when I have snow... yuk!

And I didn't see this picture earlier by (cbrown) I would love to get a shot of my grandson like that. Beautiful!

[HoosierJoe]

Thanks for the compliment. I live 25 miles SSW of Valparaiso. Terre Haute, where Ellie lives, is usually 15 degrees warmer and they don't get the dreaded lake effect snow like we do after a storm passes.

Hi I just came across this :

1. You may attach *) maximum of two (2) photos per thread. This means: you may attach up to 2 photos when you start a new thread. You may attach additional photos if requested, but only in a reply to other member's post and request.

does this mean that I have exceeded the limit of pictures that I posted. If so should I delete 3 of them. If someone can help me out I would appreciate it.

I just read where a guy got banned and I really don't want that to happen to me so soon.

Thanks all,

[oldvultureface]

Thanks all,

Open a free flickr or photobucket account to store your pictures. Then embed them in your posts. This way POTN no longer has to store your attachments. When someone views your post, the photo is pulled from the photo sharing site rather than from the POTN servers. The photo sharing sites give you the code for embeding so it's pretty easy.

[sunnygirl]

Grandkids were just over for a weekend stay. Soon were sick of me chasing them around with the camera, of course.

[JoShAdKa4]

sunnygirl, this is too precious, what a sweet picture. thanks for sharing their smiles just warm my heart..... feeling the love with this one.

[oldvultureface]

What she said^.:)

[HoosierJoe]

Finally my 30D and Tamron 17-35 arrived. And finally I had time to read the manual and take some shots. First shots of course were of the nearest grandbaby.

[oldvultureface]

Number two looks like a 60 Minutes special report: Children Behind Bars. Cute:). Congrats on the camera! You had a Rebel series before?

This was taken mid June of '06 just after Ellie began to crawl. She had been immobile since birth late March of '05. Quite happy to be moving.

She does look happy. She's so grown up now!

Yes, I had a Rebel XT for almost three years. Felt that I outgrew it. I really like this Tamron lens, far superior to the canon 18-55 I had.

[markmizzou]

Here's our newest.................having sweeeet dreams!!

[sunnygirl]

Wow, great capture, way too cute.......

[markmizzou]

Thank you Sunnygirl for the nice comment -- Here's one more taken with my newest lens addition (17-55IS 2.8), This one is taken outside Sorry for the background being "blown-out" but her expressiion of "grampa-- are we done with this photo nonsense yet??!! " I just had to rescue this expression. The "looks" you get from newborns are so fascinating-- makes you wonder what is going thru those new little minds??

[JoShAdKa4]

Hi all been practicing in the manual mode I took these two shots of my grand daughter after she and I played the game cootie. Ha! her first time playing and of course she won, so here she is with her bug...

I don't know why but the iso was bumped up to 1000, now I know I had to have done that, but doesn't that sound a little high. Maybe I should leave the WB in auto for a while.... It's so hard because now I have to look at crappy pictures while trying to learn... so sad... hmmmh

What camera are you using? If, for instance, it's the 40D, did you have the ISO set to auto? If so, it will select the ISO that it thinks is correct for the circumstances. I'm not sure what the WB has to do with it!

[JoShAdKa4]

Hi Roy, yes I am using the 40D. I kinda remember setting everything myself and getting all twittered when it wasn't turning out, so I may have bumped the iso up. I think I will leave the ISO and WB on auto (would that still be considered manual though...hmmh...oh well) and practice on maybe some flowers and the such. LOL maybe then I won't get so anxious.

[Roy Mathers]

Cindy - as I said, you'll find that, with the ISO set on auto, the camera will select the ISO that it thinks will still give you a reasonable shutter speed. This means that, in low light, it will increase the ISO to suit. So it may be that you didn't alter the ISO setting - the camera did it.

With auto ISO set in manual mode, the 40D defaults to ISO 400. She would have to have set the ISO to 1000 herself.

Cindy, nice pictures!

Aww Mo, poor little guy! did he get stitches along his lip as well?
Most of the stitching was underneath the lip...he had more than 2 hours of platic surgery to repair a h uge gaping hole in his top lip. The last of them came out Friday night at my house. He was so happy when he woke up Sat. morning and the last knot was gone! :)

Thanks

With auto ISO set in manual mode, the 40D defaults to ISO 400. She would have to have set the ISO to 1000 herself.




That doesn't make sense. You can't have Auto ISO set to manual mode - it's a contradiction in terms. Do you mean the exposure is set to manual?

[oldvultureface]

That doesn't make sense. You can't have Auto ISO set to manual mode - it's a contradiction in terms. Do you mean the exposure is set to manual?

Manual camera mode-the big "M". The camera will not shift ISO when the dial is set to M. If ISO is set to auto and you rotate the dial to M, ISO is set to 400 and stays there unless you change it. According to Cindy's EXIF, she was in manual camera mode. If her ISO was 1000, she would have had to set that herself.

[Roy Mathers]

Yes, as I suspected - you meant manual exposure.

[oldvultureface]

From what I've read, some Nikons will shift ISO depending on parameters you set. But with a Canon, when you're in manual mode (camera, not ISO), you are really in total control.

Sorry about the hijack HoosierJoe.:oops:

[HoosierJoe]

Fine with me. I don't mind learning. Although I don't think the 30D has the same issues. BTW, found out my 30D had a few weeks of warranty left so I sent it in for cleaning and adjustment, and the main wheel slips a bit. All warranty covered from what I understand. So, without a camera again for a few weeks.

Keep the posts coming!

Ellie had her surgery yesterday. She was in from 7:30 'til 2:00. So far so good from Grandma's phone message. The grandparents-in-law are shuttling between Mom's house (Terre Haute) and Indy rather than staying in a hotel. Hope to visit Thursday (day off) and post a picture from Riley Thursday evening or Friday morning.

Ellie shortly after awakening early this morning at Riley Hospital. She's doing well. Food intake is good considering how tight her tummy is now and output is nominal. Mom and Dad got her on her feet and walking for the first time since surgery. We took a wagon ride through the hospital and stopped at the lounge to make a kite (one of the activities to keep the children active and to help take their minds off the pain).

Oh, Ellie looks so sweet..... hope she continues to recover quickly.

Newest grandson taken today as he laid in the window light....

Look at the hair! Don't think I've ever seen that much on a newborn.

[oldvultureface]

Looks like he's had a rough day.:)

Here is Serious Sophie...the baby who will not smile.;)

She must be watching the stock market.

Mom and Ellie are visiting us for a few days, leaving Dad to fend for himself. Ellie's up to about 80%, a little uncomfortable at times, but mostly her old self again.:)

Ellie's "pretty smile" (while eating scrambled eggs):

My only grandson (out of 7 grandchildren)

[oldvultureface]

Pensive.

Sorry, shameless bump.

[HoosierJoe]

I haven't posted pictures for a while but I have been looking. Two of our grandchildren moved a distance away and we haven't seen them for over a month. Hopefully next week.

I'm working on a teleportation device that will transport people over 50 to any GPS coordinate and altitude (very important-don't want to arrive 30 feet in the air or underground) they choose without too much tissue damage. It should be available on Ebay in a couple of months.

[HoosierJoe]

This is our Eva. The one we see five days a week.


We are going to have the other two that moved away from us on Sat and a day or two next week when we are on vacation.

I took this with the 30D at 3200 ISO and used a noiseware program after coverting it to jpeg. Looks clean!

My first serious (read expensive) digital was a DiMAGE 7i. ISO 400 was unusable. Amazing what these DSLRs can do with so little light.

[HoosierJoe]

Finally, after 5 weeks my son brought the girls up for the day. We had lots of fun.

2. His little brother Felix when they came for a visit at Christmas.

Ellie's very proud of the plant she "made" Mom for Mother's Day.

Ember came over yesterday to play in the sand.

And Sophie just gets prettier everyday but she is gigantic...off the charts for her age. Of course her dad is 6'5" :)
