Belmondo - AVATAR battle!

[S.Horton]

Belmondo's avatar has changed radically.

Do you prefer the new, the old, or would you like to suggest a replacement?

If yes, then this is the place for you.

/*bracing to be banned*/

[neilwood32]

My opinion is that he should revert to the old one - it scared the new members into line! In fact it scared the older existing members into line as well!:cool:

[WMS]

His new avatar does seem to be an interesting example of what can be done in PhotoShop.

Wayne

[S.Horton]

He's also in a stealth mode, with a title of "Member"

Scary, indeed!

[Belmondo]

If you hear breathing over your shoulder, be very scared. :lol:

[Pete]

If you hear breathing over your shoulder, be very scared. :lol:

And if you can smell it, start running!! :D

[TheHoff]

I had this freaky dream last night where a mutant Wilfred Brimley was chastising me for peeing in his magical pool.

[sapearl]

Avatar choice? What are you talking about - thought that was the license photo shot at the BMV.......

[Cdeming]

And if you can smell it, start running!! :D

:lol:


I think his other avatar was more intimidating. The new one is just frightening. I'm sure either will have the desire effect of keeping us all in line. :)

[_aravena]

Seeing his full face, I'm less afraid. It's almost equal to LR not knowing a 40D has two burst modes.

[Cdeming]

I'm wondering who the brave soul is that admitted to not knowing who Belmondo is.

[Jon]

Um . . . Guys . . . They're both his "old" avatar - he's used 'em both before; I think he switched to the one you're calling the "old" one after the operation . . .

[_aravena]

Jon...we don't understand logic. Stop coming in here with your reasonable ideas and common sense that denounces our misunderstanding of such things!!! :D :p

[gjl711]

It's creepy..

[-g-]

Sorry for outing you, Chief. :)

[Belmondo]

Sorry for outing you, Chief. :)

Not a problem. Someone else is using my old avatar temporarily. It will all be back to normal in a few days.

[sapearl]

Danger Will Robinson! I identity theft!!:eek:

Not a problem. Someone else is using my old avatar temporarily........

[JimAskew]

Change we can live with...bring back the "Old" Chief! I miss his stern look :(

[neil_r]

I preferred his red Canon

[-g-]

It looks like a few people are sharing you. Pete has a modified version of the new one and I'm thinking Jon, Tiff and Neil have small portions of the old one. I want in! :)

[theague]

Who would do such a thing!? :lol::lol:

Help yourself.:cool:;)

[Chet]

Be very afraid!

[S.Horton]

If you hear breathing over your shoulder, be very scared. :lol:

Look at my title and avatar -- The Title and Avatar gremlins have nothing left to do to me.

;)

[krepta]

My opinion is that he should revert to the old one - it scared the new members into line! In fact it scared the older existing members into line as well!:cool:I agree! The old avatar was scarier in an authority sense, and the new one is quite creepy!

It looks like a few people are sharing you. Pete has a modified version of the new one and I'm thinking Jon, Tiff and Neil have small portions of the old one. I want in! :)yes, I see a whole horde of Belmondo's now! It's not just the TF we have to fear anymore!

[theague]

we all did this voluntarily but wouldn't that be fun if there was an AF to fear too?

[-g-]

then join in Geno!

Help yourself.:cool:;)

Poorly done in a hurry. :)

\Avatar gremlins have nothing left to do to me.

Could have Belmondo's face on your fairy.

[Belmondo]

Obvously a doctored photo.

My pecs are about 2 ft lower.

[TheHoff]

My pecs are about 2 ft lower.

But the cleavage is just as purty.

[krepta]

we all did this voluntarily but wouldn't that be fun if there was an AF to fear too?Some members have already had an encounter with the Avatar Fairy! ::looks at Stealthy Ninja::

I hear the TF and the AF are one and the same, though.

I'll have to watch for a post by SN, I haven't seen him lately although I haven't been wandering far in POTN for awhile. lol

[krepta]

I'll have to watch for a post by SN, I haven't seen him lately although I haven't been wandering far in POTN for awhile. lolIt has been happening in the "Do YOU want to be the TF? (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=705008)" thread. I believe Geno got an avatar from the AF to match his most recent title (courtesy of the TF of course) before he changed it back to his Fabio one with Belmondo's face today. And a fellow named GSRswapandslow went head to head versus the AF/TF and had his avatar shrink gradually down to a single pixel (after also losing his "Member" status to blank). We haven't heard from him since!

The coolest mod in the universe gave me this oversized flaming Hasslehoff. An early strike of the AF, I think.

And who was that?

[SuzyView]

Are we all being Tom today?

[sevillafox]

Geno, that's creepy as hell!

Sam, there is also the siggy fairy and location fairy to beware....

[TheHoff]

And who was that?

It was tommykCyberMondoPete.

[tonylong]

I think GSR has been actively, shall we say frantically posting, but he has now shrunken to flat out invisibility, singing "while my keyboard gently weeps" to himself as he rocks back and forth...

I do like Pete's take on the Chief's avatar -- must be the season. Geno's is the scariest, though.

[JimAskew]

Suzie, your avatar looks just like Tom...you have captured him perfectly ;)

[SuzyView]

I just got home and didn't get the memo. I'll have to find something, but I have to leave again. Darn!

[-g-]

It was tommykCyberMondoPete.

:lol:

[mickee311]

OMG @ the Fabio one. That's sooo not what I expected to see. I literally laughed out loud at that one.

[Pete]

Bugger, I've been infected too!

[krepta]

Bugger, I've been infected too!Is this turning into one of those virus infection zombie movies? :)

[WMS]

I think that I should keep my fingers off my keyboard.

Wayne

[Cdeming]

POTN just became the scariest place on the interweb.

[Belmondo]

Suzie, your avatar looks just like Tom...you have captured him perfectly ;)

She has capture the petal-like red sores really well. :wink:

[-g-]

POTN just became the scariest place on the interweb.

It's all Al Gore's fault.

[Belmondo]

I think Cdeming's avatar looks most like me so far. :rolleyes: :shock: :lol:

Thanks. My screen needed cleaning anyway. :lol:

Hahahaha! I'm not really sure what to do with that... :lol:

'Zactly. :lol:

[krepta]

Changed it again chief? Was this inspired by the colorful Pentax K-x? :)

[Belmondo]

This is an old one from waaaay back. That's a 10D, and that's what I was shooting at the time.



Okay, mine was black.

[sapearl]

Sort of reminds me of the pimped out Hasselblads from around 10 years ago.

In celebration of one of their production anniversaries they offered 'blad bodies in a variety of leatherette colors at a premium: gold, red, blue, green. Talk about funky looking :eek:.

Oooooh. I'd sure be proud to own one of those, maybe in gold.:rolleyes::rolleyes::lol:


Wonder if they thought about plaid?

[krepta]

Wonder if they thought about plaid?Well, if one is to be noticed with his/her photography gear, might as well make it a fashion statement! :lol:

[neilwood32]

Hahahaha! I'm not really sure what to do with that... :lol:

Take it as a compliment (i think).... then again maybe not.....

Not quite sure bout this - (dangerous ground here) is Belmondo that in touch with his feminine side? Or is he just going for the lovable aspect of the avatar?

[Belmondo]

I do have a feminine side. She's ugly too.

[gjl711]

Whats her name?

[Pete]

Whats her name?

Thumbelina.

[neilwood32]

You know - the more i look at your new avatar Belmondo, the more i think that Canon should sell colour coded DSLR's.

Black for rebel series, red for XXD series, green for 7D, blue for 5D but with "off white" reserved for 1 series cameras!

[JimAskew]

Thumbelina.
Nope, you got it wrong, Pete...it is Beulah Balbricker ;)

[Robert16]

the more i think that Canon should sell colour coded DSLR's.

I wrote several hundred letters and camped outside Canon HQ for days campaigning for a Pink 5D . . . . . . all I got was this lousy court order:confused:.

;)


Anyhoo, I liked the old avatar. It kept us on our best behaviour. . . most of the time.

[20droger]

I think Tom found a stash of Apache Gold (not a metal).

As for his old avatar keeping us on the straight and narrow, far, far too many of us are beyond hope for it to have been truly effective.

And as for a pink 5D, they do make this magical substance called "paint." I hear that, when properly applied, it works pretty well.

[Robert16]

Ever properly apply it yourself?;)

[20droger]

Ever properly apply it yourself old timer?;)
Not on a camera. Black is beautiful, especially with regard to my 30D.

A day-glow pink "L" lens would be interesting, though.

[Robert16]

I'd buy one. Could be a bit awkward on the telephoto lenses tho'. I wonder how Brittney Spears would feel having all those long pink things pointed at her!

I can't believe I typed that

[Robert16]

Y'see? If Belmondo had his old avatar back I wouldn't have written that.:D

[Geoff_Shawcross]

I'd buy one. Could be a bit awkward on the telephoto lenses tho'. I wonder how Brittney Spears would feel having all those long pink things pointed at her!

I can't believe I typed that



......."Paging the Title Fairy"........

Hmmm.......Anyone have a TF signal handy?......hehe :grin:

[Robert16]

Which part are you going after there squirrel terd?;)
Take yer pick!

Note to self: Do not eat cereal while catching up on POTN. :lol:

[Robert16]

Guess I owe you a keyboard and some screen cleaner Chrissy.:)

[-g-]

I think we should all install sneeze guards like those found at buffets.

[neilwood32]

Etiher that or wipers should be installed on monitors as standard!

[Robert16]

What colour would you go for?:lol:

[neilwood32]

Oh i think it would have to be "off white" - my dreams of me shooting involve lots of L equipment but its all dreams!

[Geoff_Shawcross]

I wonder how Brittney Spears would feel having all those long pink things pointed at her!


Oh, I just thought the TF might be interested in seing this part for future use maybe. ;)

[20droger]

Agreed. Cheerios coming out the nose can spoil your whole day.

[Timphoto]

... Cheerios coming out the nose ...

interesting idea for an avatar...:rolleyes:

[S.Horton]

Just posting to see that my image hasn't degraded...........

Ah, ok, good -- I have nothing to say today.

[neilwood32]

Agreed.
