All right!!! See you at Kristy's place on the 28th.

ok I must be bored, I'm growing my own cactus plants. must be 30 seeds in there somewhere.

Hi all, I have been lurking for a while and learning as much as I can (which has been A LOT)! I live in Mesa (way out east, almost to AJ) I got my Rbel XTi about 3 months ago and am having a blast, and trying to save up for more lenses, I just have the kit lens right now. Here is my best duck shot from Water Ranch in Gilbert (hope I get this upload right!). I hope to be able to shoot with you all and learn more about photography.

Hey everybody, the Lurker of Mesa, Rutha is here and has shared a duck's butt with us all! Hi Ya Rutha and welcome on board!

Good way to start with obligatory duck photo - I do like the wings spread and the nibbles.

WOW!!! Every bit as much fun as say, watching paint dry. Are we going to get daily updates? What kind of cacti are you growing, and how long before it can grow a decent flower?

Be Careful Not to Grow Illegal Stuff But it Could mean a lot of Money for L's

Okay... get together on the 28th...... Let's say like 1:00pm? Does that work or should it be a little bit later?

We'll set up a portrait studio, and find a place for a macro table too... We'll talk about snacks and food because we all like to eat.. I'm thinking of bribing the hubbs into making burgers for us... and someone wants jello shots....>? What flavor is best? Something red...

Lots of animal ears to wear, and a tutu making contest... ..ooops.. I mean Hatch... you need to be ready to teach us about waterdrops.. I have some grass in my yard, but it's not that long.. I'll have to save a section from the lawn mower for a few weeks.... No daisies though, so we might have to visit Safeway for a pretty one...

HI RUTH!! Yes I'm yelling... It's noisy in here so sometimes I have to yell to get some attention. Welcome to the crazy AZ group...

Cool Cactus Seeds... I mean sprouts... You can sell them for LOTS of money and buy some new gear!

Holy cow... I am holding a macro clinic? LOL No worries... can do! I will pick up a pink flower...I think it's Adams color? LOL Wait a minute... I'm the one who had the pink on at the seminar. Better make it red or something else. ROFL I will bring a few blades of the saw grass ( I think that is what it is called) when I come over. I'll bring a tripod as well...to make things easier on us. This is going to be a crazy class.

Off to bed... Hatch

Night Macro Man... and I have a tripod if you want to save the trouble of packing your car.. It has a small Manfrotto Ball head.. don't know if that works for you or not.. but it's under my bed. I use it for intruders mostly..

Who else can bring stuff? I have no macro anything... I have only 2 Ab 800's a large softbox, and brolly box (umbrella with a diffuser).. and 2 tiny shoot through umbrellas and 2 small light stands, and 1 large one...

I have a background stand and 2 muslins, and some black fabric, and some white vinyl that is only big enough for a little child to pose on.. and some plexi-glass that is about 4'x3'

So.... what else can we use?
