Hope it all works out for him Lisa.

very cool Zane. How did you fire them and still be able to take photos?30 second exposure at f/10 200 ISO Mirror lock up>shutter>step aside and fire>let camera finish exposure.I have something somewhat different in my head and think I can get it.

OHMYGOSH! My brother got to go home today. They never moved him down from ccu to icu or a regular room. Anyway, he's home and they are getting the paperwork done for a rehab facility. He has to go or lose his job. I'm hoping he'll be compliant and try to get something out of it.Great news Lisa! I hope he gets what he needs out of this.

[Permagrin]

that's really cool Z. I'm looking forward to your other experiments.



and me too...I really hope he is willing to be rehabilitated.

Dan loves (I mean used to...he doesn't do it so much anymore) burnt microwave popcorn. It used to stink up the house. The smoke alarms would go off...GAH. The kids would be like "mom....make dad stop...it stinks SO BAD!!" :lol::lol:

I admit...I have never combined pumpkin & chocolate...not in any fashion. But to burn it...sounds awful. :lol:

Ok question:

I have downloaded a DOF ap for my blackberry.
If I input:
Format: 1.6
Focal Length: 40mm
Aperture: f/11
Distance: 10 feet. (I am assuming that is the distance between the camera and the subject)
Click Calculate and get:
Near Limit: 7.13
Far Limit: 16.78
Total: 9.66
Hyperfocal distance 24.42

That means that everything from 7.13' to 16.78' infront of the camera will be in focus?
And that for a perpendicular distance of 24.42' (12.21' left and right of center) will be in focus?

[misspix]

I admit...I have never combined pumpkin & chocolate...not in any fashion. But to burn it...sounds awful. :lol:
ooooooooooooooo....I will make you a batch next fall :) If you like pumpkin, and chocolate, you will be a fan. My whole family is addicted :roll: We have thought, at times, that a 12 step program may be in order :lol:

[Permagrin]

When you focus on the hyperfocal distance....in this case 24.42 feet....everything from 1/2 that distance to infinity will be in focus....so from 12.21 feet to forever.

[Jamie Holladay]

Considering the same distance (10 feet) If I want from 5' from me to 12' from in focus and the rest shallow or a seperated background, how do I use the calculator to determine that.

[Woolburr]

Set your subject distance at 10 feet....then adjust the aperture setting until the values hit your desired range.

[Permagrin]

the dogs have been inert all day.

This means it's gonna be a bad night. Once Dan walks in, they will be fully charged and ready to rumba!

[monkeygirl]

Good afternoon everyone.

Zane - saw your rockets and horses at work - I love them, especially the brown horse looking right at you

sounds like anxiety central Lisa, close that closet door!!

My PC was suppoed to be delivered today, got a fedex update that it will be Thursday :(

Sorry about your computer Crissa.

DRAGON. I meant to ask you. Have you ever read any Nevada Barr books? They are really good. Track of the Cat is the first one and my least favorite. Had I read it first, I probably wouldn't like her books but I didn't. She writes in a way that makes you think you are there. Whether it's being stuck in caves underground or diving shipwrecks on the great lakes. She's very good.

Terri, John and I are also reading them and they are great

Great news Lisa - we will keep him in our thoughs and prayers.

rut row - does not sound good for Dan, maybe you guys can take them for a walk to wear off some of the energy

[JWright]

G'mae all. Anyone follow the "post your cat" thread? http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showpost.php?p=9515179&postcount=4436

Cute...

On another note, especially for other Smuggers here, I saw a button on the fly-out menu that I saw last night looking through Evan's shots I have online. It's the "Collect Photo" button...explanation here (http://www.smugmug.com/help/collecting-photos). It's new to me and I did not know about it until this weekend....essentially, it allows users to "collect" a virtual copy of the photo and put it on their website in a gallery....My Inspirations...for example if ALL the criteria are met at the end of the page I linked above. So check your settings for your galleries. Now, that's flattering, but I hope that it will not circumvent right click protect and/or printing off a shot without getting some money out of it. :lol:

So, I disabled it through control panal/settings for now until I can read through this thread and see if my questions are answered. :lol:
http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=157266&highlight=collect+photo

I'm not going to try to read through 17 pages of thread (at last look) to find answers.

I think it is new. It's subject to all your other permissions though. I don't allow linking or copying from any of my public galleries and unless I'm logged it even my pre-existing galleries don't show the "Collect" button. In fact one of the requirements to let other people "Collect" your photos is that you allow external linking oof the galleries in question.

I turned it off until I can figure out if it can be to my benefit. I also can't see any use, at first glance, for the "Smart galleries" feature.

Been playing with it - I keep photos that I post to in a separate gallery that's unlisted and has sharing enabled. If I collect a photo from a "share disabled" gallery into my sharing gallery, I can get a link for it. For instance, this photo's in a sharing-disabled gallery, Collected to my share gallery:
http://jonbarrettphoto.smugmug.com/Travel/Greece-1/1114-169-696620D-02/537219575_vk7Lz-L-2.jpg

Next I need to see if Collecting from a "sharing enabled" gallery to a "sharing disabled" one carries the "share" status along, or if the destination controls it.

This is possibly the only thing I can see of benefit to me from this new "Collecting" feature. I've been looking for a way to be able to link my photos to places like here, but not allow other to link my photos.

Do you have linking turned off in the original gallery, but turned on in the sharing gallery?

I just finished book 7 of the Anna Pigeon novels and started number 8. Reading these book has caused me to read up on the National Parks a bit more...

[Permagrin]

I don't think I have the newest ones of Nevada Barr. My collection stops with Winter Study.

So, John...you've read Blind Descent, Superior Death and Firestorm then, right? Those specifically stick in my mind as ones that were so vividly written...

It's been a couple of years since I've read them.

[Jamie Holladay]

They seem to get better and have more complex plots as they go along. The one I just finished, Liberty Falling, had a plot twist at the end I totally didn't expect.

I think Winter Study's the most recent one out in pb. She may have as many as 2 more. I have WS but haven't gotten to it yet. I've read the rest up 'til then though.

[Permagrin]

aww. Hale's being a good girl today. Dan took Kona with him to go to the store. Hale didn't even think about having a fit. She got her ball, came over and jumped on my lap and sat down. Hopefully we're over the tantrum stage. Kona never threw tantrums. He did bad stuff when he was upset (tearing up paperback books was a big one) but never total fits (run around howling/barking throwing self around).

Yes, I do - photo's in my (public) Travel\Greece gallery (along with precious little else; I haven't been working backwards to fill stuff like I could) and collected to my "Scratch" gallery I link from.

Experiment: The original of this photo is in it's own gallery that has linking and the "Easy Share" button turned off. I placed a virtual copy in a "Sharing Gallery" and linked that to here...

...

And it doesn't work... Looking at the URL of the link, it goes back to the original gallery, so to link to a virtual copy, sharing has to be turned on in the original gallery.

Eli and I are reading Warrior Cats (http://www.warriorcats.com/warriorshell.html) it is a good read, we will probably finish the series. Anyone have any suggestions for reading with a young one? He isn't into Harry Potter and I am trying to stay away from Star Wars stuff for a while. Looking for something that has a lot of good moral character and empathy type stuff for the growing mind ;)

[misspix]

Hmmm. I am to far out of that age range, Crissa, sorry. I will keep my eyes open, tho! A good classic series is The Hardy Boys.

[Permagrin]

Crissa, check these out

http://www.amazon.com/Percy-Jackson-Olympians-Paperback-Boxed/dp/1423113497/ref=pd_sim_b_23

[Skrim17]

Yeah, I tried them once and it didn't stick, perhaps now that he's older he would like them. We need a trip to the library anyway as we just finished the last load. we are at 30 minutes of TV per night (less if we pre-record the show) and he is really into reading which I just love. Aside from Calvin and Hobbes which he reads daily and will re-read given the chance, he's started reading the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books. He'll read one in a day if I let him! They have larger print and some illustrations and are about 200 pages.

[Skrim17]

Those look good Lisa, didn't they just make it into a movie? That is really more what he likes, supernatural and all. He also likes spy stuff, of course!

[mtnphtgrphr]

G'MAE Ya'll! I'm checking in from uber winter NC! Kids were dismissed early Friday, out today, and out tomorrow... they are calling for more winter weather overnight tonight and later in the week! WOW! We haven't had a winter like this in AGES! These are the winters of my childhood! LOL

One winter we had it so bad that we were out of school (I was in preschool) for the entire month of January!!!

is he too young for the Redwall series (Brian Jacques)?

[Skrim17]

I just put the first book in the series on hold at the library, I'm not familiar with Redwall. I'll go check it out, what I love is these are books that we read together before bed, so I get in on the action as well!!

they are adventure in an animal kingdom.

[Skrim17]

Looks great Lisa, thanks so much for the recommendations. I read SO much as a young person and I love to see Eli enjoy reading. As much as he does on his own we still snuggle together in my bed every night and read to each other, I hope we can still do it for a few more years!

Crissa....what about the dragon filled inheritance cycle? :http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inheritance_Cycle

[puddlepirate44]

I generally prefer Bulgarian military signal flares, but those are nice.

HAHAHA!

:lol: Our school district had a mix of reel to reel, laser disc and VCR. Though the core teaching material movies were reel to reel. The VCR only came in if and when some company updated the movie which was rare at the time. The laser disc was used when we were learning a subject which required user interaction with the remote to click on answers. I remember pulling many hours of reel to reel projector watch during classes at the ready to hit the switch to stop the projector in case it decided to try and eat the film.

OK, full confession. I was the film projector geek in 5th grade. :o

Jessica's favorite shot...I would crop it a little tighter but I always leave my images uncropped until I print them.

where the heck does one find surplus Czechoslovakian military signal flares?

I would begin in the former Czechoslovakia Republic. ;)

Ok question:

I have downloaded a DOF ap for my blackberry.
If I input:
Format: 1.6
Focal Length: 40mm
Aperture: f/11
Distance: 10 feet. (I am assuming that is the distance between the camera and the subject)
Click Calculate and get:
Near Limit: 7.13
Far Limit: 16.78
Total: 9.66
Hyperfocal distance 24.42

That means that everything from 7.13' to 16.78' infront of the camera will be in focus?
And that for a perpendicular distance of 24.42' (12.21' left and right of center) will be in focus?

What this means is that a 10 year old kid got his geek on with your phone. :D

I did not learn her on purpose! I sweah! :lol:

I've got 2 of the new ones today, and I'll have all 3 of the new ones tomorrow too.
At least of the 5 new ones, 4 of them will be going to HWAC on Wednesday, so it's very short term. But it's still crazy.

I love this photo. It's nothing special but it was my favorite flower shot from last year.


Very nice, Lisa.
It is...

How about this one for the iconic smile?



Would you believe she's going to be 65 this year?

And Robert, Paul Moga is now sporting a silver oak leaf...



The gentleman with his back to the camera is Maj. Gen. Bill Anders, who flew around the moon in Apollo 8. He is the astronaut that took the iconic photograph of the earth rising over the moon.

Some real neat shots to see in there, John.

My 2 new fosters:

Parker. 2 yrs old. Irish Wolfhound mix? The shelter had him groomed because he was so matted and gross when they got him.

And Polly.
about 2 yrs old. Rat terrier.

She is at this moment sitting on my lap being an absolute doll. She's had a bath and her nails trimmed.

[cfpackerfan]

Full body shot of Parker. He's a big boy.

[misspix]

Parker is a handsome boy, Cat. He does have that noble look of an Irish Wolfhound.

Polly is cute!

And their names are not horrid!! Bonus!! :lol:

[mtnphtgrphr]

Awwwwww! Cuties Cat!

And LOL I'm with Terri... their names are not horrid!!!

Parker was 'Lad'. But he was picked up as a stray and had only had his name for a couple days, so we didn't think he'd mind if we changed it. :lol:

[cfpackerfan]

The other refugees of the day:

Cookie. 7 month old lab. She is freaking adorable. :lol:

[cfpackerfan]

Chance. 2 year old lab. Very very sweet.

He's been in the shelter for a long long time. He needs some TLC.

[cfpackerfan]

He looked much more like an Irish Wolfhound before his grooming. :lol:

[monkeygirl]

Good evening everyone. Quick post before I head off to bed (I have a 4:30 wake up call)

Cat - great dogs. Hoping for 100% acceptance for HWAC.


aww. Hale's being a good girl today. Dan took Kona with him to go to the store. Hale didn't even think about having a fit. She got her ball, came over and jumped on my lap and sat down. Hopefully we're over the tantrum stage. Kona never threw tantrums. He did bad stuff when he was upset (tearing up paperback books was a big one) but never total fits (run around howling/barking throwing self around).

Good for Hale - she is growing up. When is her surgery

72oz Bourbon St. beers?

Why have I never been to New Orleans? :lol::lol:

because you make yourself sick with that much beer.

I love this photo. It's nothing special but it was my favorite flower shot from last year.

http://lcimages.zenfolio.com/img/v7/p59126969-4.jpg

Is is a very pretty flower Lisa

Eli and I are reading Warrior Cats (http://www.warriorcats.com/warriorshell.html) it is a good read, we will probably finish the series. Anyone have any suggestions for reading with a young one? He isn't into Harry Potter and I am trying to stay away from Star Wars stuff for a while. Looking for something that has a lot of good moral character and empathy type stuff for the growing mind ;)

What about Judy Blume - "superfudge" is the only one that comes to mind, but I liked alot of her books, although they may be to girlie for Eli

Sorry I'm not better company other than a tired wave.

We got 5 new dogs today, and have to pull 3 more tomorrow. And nowhere to put them.

I've got 2 of the new ones today, and I'll have all 3 of the new ones tomorrow too.
At least of the 5 new ones, 4 of them will be going to HWAC on Wednesday, so it's very short term. But it's still crazy.

And I'm tired.

I'm going to go get a bite to eat, then come back with a beer and visit for a little bit, ok?

Get some rest soon Cat.

Night Everyone.

[Skrim17]

I wonder where Mike's gotten off to?

We have a stomach flu gpoing around, I just got a call from a parent telling me her son started vomiting etc. tonight...my guys and stomach bugs are SUCH a bad combination!!

[Permagrin]

G'night Drache


YO Z

I suspect Lois does those things when I'm away, but she always cleans up the mess before I get home. The cat knows, but she's not talking.

We went out for our anniversary dinner tonight. I had Veal Scalapini, and it was to die for. (figure of speach....not planning on dying soon). It's always so much better to eat at a place where everyone knows you, and you know them. They made a big fuss over us, and gave us a huge dessert with 'Happy Anniversary' written around the edge in chocolate. Best of all, we have some really scrumptious leftovers to play with tomorrow.

[Woolburr]

Hide the forks!

[Woolburr]

The veal sounds tasty Chief. I might have to snag some to experiment with.

[cfpackerfan]

Sounds like a wonderful Anniversary dinner, Chief!

[puddlepirate44]

Chief, you play with your food? Cool.

Hey Everyone,

I love it that T.D. is a Klingon.

Dude...klingons can kick some serious star fleet buns! Well they did until the peace treaty. Anyway...I can get you a klingon-english dictionary if you like.
This is a phrase you'll need to be fluent with: (make sure it sounds gutteral)

Zarzadzanie v Mileniis

Hi Chris.

aww dangit. I was hoping you got Hale blitzing around. I have no recent shots of her.

Sorry you've been so busy.

[Belmondo]

Not everyone wears their halo in the same place.

Mine, for example, is gold, and hovers about a foot over my head.

Hey Z!

I got some. They're just not fantastic. I'll get them processed in the next couple of days.

only if it is a size 15

[Belmondo]

What a choice:

The sword of Damocles, or the foot of TD.


What to do.

[Woolburr]

Take the sword....I don't think he can hold his leg up for long.

[CrazieCricket]

Nice set there Tiff.

On another note, especially for other Smuggers here, I saw a button on the fly-out menu that I saw last night looking through Evan's shots I have online. It's the "Collect Photo" button...explanation here (http://www.smugmug.com/help/collecting-photos). It's new to me and I did not know about it until this weekend....essentially, it allows users to "collect" a virtual copy of the photo and put it on their website in a gallery....My Inspirations...for example if ALL the criteria are met at the end of the page I linked above. So check your settings for your galleries. Now, that's flattering, but I hope that it will not circumvent right click protect and/or printing off a shot without getting some money out of it. :lol:

So, I disabled it through control panal/settings for now until I can read through this thread and see if my questions are answered. :lol:
http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=157266&highlight=collect+photo
Wow, I didn't know that was in smuggy. Thanks for the heads up. I'll have to check it out.

OHMYGOSH! My brother got to go home today. They never moved him down from ccu to icu or a regular room. Anyway, he's home and they are getting the paperwork done for a rehab facility. He has to go or lose his job. I'm hoping he'll be compliant and try to get something out of it.
Hope everything goes well for him, Lisa.

I love this photo. It's nothing special but it was my favorite flower shot from last year.
