haha, well good to know.
and thanks.

Haha well maybe I'll have to take up this 52 week photo project. Hey, might as well keep the creative side of my brain turning, even if I have to force myself lol Hope your idea panned out for you! Guess well find out when you post your next set haha. As for me all I did was pull my camera out to get a group pic of a get together we had tonight. Slackin! yes I know. In defense I have been busy getting ready for a trip this week, where I will hopefully get some great pictures on. Just need to find a pelican case for my camera. Dont do well in groups huh? Im pretty shy as well, when I first meet people so I feel you on that.

Yeah you are right about the transfer time. I have a somewhat older laptop so when I load pictures I usually do it then walk away from the computer and find something to do for ten minutes lol. and I dont even shoot raw very much! Im going to start shooting RAW more though. The way I look at it, is it might take a while to transfer but it will take even longer if you have your pictures spread out over 2-3 memory cards vice one. Most of my cards are 4 GB though, its a pretty good size IMO for the type of shooting I do.

Are you using a card reader or tethering your camera to your computer?

Don't skimp on a card. Get a fast one and a fast reader. It makes a huge difference.

The 52weeks really MAKES me shoot. Because this week...SO not feeling it. No ideas. Blahhhhh. But after waking up late(hey, its saturday), working out and mom asking if I wanted to go shopping....I think I may have an idea that's inside. yay! And naturally it was gloomy this morning, but while in the mall the sun decides to come out. lame.
lol, thanks. I'm pretty friendly one-on-one. In groups...ehhh. I can be known to be VERY shy. Workin' on it. haha.

lol. We thought so. I'm not sure what size I should get. :-/ I have 2gb right now, and when shooting RAW I can put about 100-120shots on a card. Sooo..I'm not sure. 4gb maybe? I'm not sure how I feel about like an 8gb and then have like 400 huge raw files downloading at once. Methinks it might take FOREVER!

Excuses, excuses. hahaha. I understand about being busy! My past few days have been a little nuts. haha.
I did something different today..well, not "different", but not what I had planned... lol.

You should shoot RAW. Its aaaamazing. And use Lightroom to edit. AWESOMENESS! haha.

I have the card reader in my computer(laptop)...sin​ce I still shoot with my rebel I use SD cards. When I have about 100shots on the card, it loads in about...eh...2min? Maybe. lol. I do have a card reader around here somewhere.. ha.

Yeah nuts about perfectly describes this weekend. So much going on right now! lol Ive got a 4 day kayak trip coming up on Tuesday so Im running around like a chicken with my head cut off trying to get last minute things ready for it. Gonna be a good time though!

Yeah I know it lol. Ive been putting it off long enough. Ive been doing some reading on it and I've already taken some shots in RAW. All I have is Canons Stock program for it though, I need to get a better RAW editing program I think. Can you use lightroom for RAW?

Sounds like a fun trip! Though for a moment I thought you a bit crazy, since its like... 40out right now, but then remembered you're in good ol' texas. hahaha. have fun!

I do know that some people use the canon software to edit their RAW files. And yes, lightroom can handle raw. Each time I use it, I get more and more amazed by it. lol. Its simple, but there are all these *little* things that really finish off a shot without having to upload in photoshop.

Hahaha well its going to get about 45-55 at night but the highs are supposed to be early 90s. I have been known to fish and kayak in freezing tempurtures however, and it wouldnt be the first time someone though me a bit crazy Should be a great trip however! Thanks! Hoping I can find a case to keep my camera in.

Ive heard of light room before. I have CS3, just dont know how to use it well at all haha. Maybe I'll have to try the lightroom demo version. I really need to learn how to mess with these RAW pictures though, thats pretty much my next step.

You're a texan, define "freezing". hahahaha.

editing RAW files is....SUPER EASY! Beware if you try lightroom....you'll fall in love and want to buy it. hahaha.

Hahahaha Yeah I suppose we dont have much on good 'ol Michigan I did do a kayak/fishing trip when it was 15 degrees with windchill. I was definitely bundled up for that one.

Haha well Im gonna have to give it a shot then! I have some pictues of a courthouse here that I took with RAW with the intention to mess around with HDR. If I get some time today I might have to give it a shot. Hahaha well see! Ive heard lots of good things about it!

Okay, 15 is a bit chilly. hahaha. We did have a very cold winter this year. ): No fun.(I like the warmth. )

Cool stuff! Well once you mess with it, let me know how it went.

I like your 52 week project - what a neat idea. I also like your expressive abilities and obvious humor.

Yeah so did we. Last two years actually. Facilitated a couple big fish kills on my favorite river. ( I'm a huge fishing nerd lol) although I'm sure not quite as cold as up
There! Lol. I have a couple friends From Kalamazoo who absolutely hate the cold up
That way.

I will do that! Gonna have to check out lightroom for sure. Great new pictures BTW! I like the "rain" incorporation
