So then what the hell. Post up a couple more of her.

Oh, like you don't cower before Sara...hehehehe...I know who the REAL boss is at your place...then again don't we all know who is really "the boss" at home...anything to maintain quiet when we are trying to watch TV.

Hey, where the heck is Sevan & his betta-half anyway? I am warming up Apu and he is dusting off the shelves at the Quik-i-mart...

So what the plan on the pre or post activities, sorry been out of the loop and too lazy to go back and read all the nonsense going on here by Killjoy. LOL

Whatever.

I'm glad I'm not the only one complaining about the bickering back and forth.
Here is what we talked about a few days ago.vv

I will be available to lead local photosafaris ... the miniature horses are cute as a button and the vineyards are always great landscapes. Also have a possible trip into the National Forest that is full of photo-ops.

Nope. Just got back from shooting a fireworks show with my new 5DMkIII.

One from the show.

My 5dII can do the exact same thing, only difference is you spent the extra $$$$ for no reason!

Word of advice, try the same image but darken out the lights in the lower right this looks better IMO.

Now were having camera wars. What will Lynn and I do with just our lowly T1i and 7D.:p

Robert, missed your note yesterday. I have to take the truck for maintenance tomorrow (Thursday) morning so will be without a car all day. Do you have email so we can take this offline? I also need to get your phone number into my phone, sigh. How can I be so busy ... I am retired!?

No camera wars by me. Sevan and his lowly 5Dii can have the glory.
But then again, my buddy Lowell can represent the 5Diii crowd. Not to mention I'm sure that Dwight probably already has at least one (if not two) of them.

I expect to be around the Friday before and Sunday after the BBQ for local photo tours ... this would be between the interesting murals in downtown Lompoc and the hills of the Los Padres National Forest and includes Solvang, Los Olivos, the Chumash Casino (for those who are interested), and wine country. Gary is still working on a shooting range but I'm not sure how that's going. Anyway, for the local photo tours I don't think anything needs to be decided before folks are here.

I do have a 5DMIII but haven't used it much. I am not one to compare/contrast bodies/lenses unless an issue presents itself so I can't tell you if there's much difference between the 5DMII and III. For those who haven't looked at my gear list (obviously Killjoy has not) I also have a 1DsMIII and two 1DMIVs ... and I have two 1DX's on pre-order so I may have one by the BBQ. If the discussion turns to differences between the 1DMIII and 1DMIV I do have opinions, but since you guys generally don't go there I don't see the point.

Actually Dwight, I'm not one for matching uh, lists shall we say. I was just giving Sevan back a little of his own medicine.
And no I have never checked your gear list. I didn't have to. I know you always have multiple copies of the latest and greatest, as well as having had the pleasure of seeing the gear in your office and your studio.

And for Sevan, I'll take the Digic 5+ over the Digic 4, the useable 102,400 ISO, and the 61 focal points over the 9, the 6 frames per second over the 3.9, the seven stop bracketing for HDR (need I go on?) any day.

I'm done here.
