First Shots With 300 F/2.8L IS

Or who logs in first instead of getting coffee

Speaking of photography...

I was just thinking about a comment I used to make a long time ago, that I never had a camera with me during some of the best times I've had that I want to remember and I regret not being able to take those photos.

Won't happen again now that I have two DSLRs, a P&S and a cellphone camera.

Nighty night, I am not sure who gets up first, Peregrin, Ronald, Billingsley or Dante

You rang?

What's up! How's the coffee

I don't drink coffee. I drink a can of Hawaiian Punch in the morning to wake me up.

Oh yeah, I forgot..

Going to shoot anything interesting today?

No, it's my mom's birthday. It's also my day off. So, she's leaving with my dad for the day, and I'm sitting here working and waiting. Oh happy day.

Oh, and she's not going because she wants to..she's going because he said so. I'm not allowed to go anywhere with my mom, because he says "I'm married to her. She's my wife, so if she goes somewhere, it'll be with me." [/rant]

Wow, too intense for me. I'll stay out of the family stuff.

Almost too intense for me is B&H again. I shouldn't have looked, that damn 100-400 is calling me now, WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME!!!!!!

I have a 300 f/4L and teleconverter, why am I still looking at a zoom?! I think I never really got over the fear of losing the shot thanks to not having a zoom

Cuz zooms are fun!

You're supposed to say stop! Don't buy too much glass, use what you have!

.......


.... wait, I'm asking in the wrong place now, aren't I?

Wrong crowd for that!

GET THE 100-400! IT'S A FUN LENS!

*wipes sweat*

I'm doomed.....

Better go and sleep now (night in my sector) before I end up doing something really stupid and buying the lens....

Morning all! I need my first cuppa! BRB

Where was that thread about proper monopod techniques?

Is this monopod any good for the money? I don't have any heavy lenses:

Is the 234Rc head any decent for the monopod?

I realise the monopod is quite long when folded completely. Does this bug anybody (I'm short, which is why I ask), when it's attached to their bag (the mini trekker aw I have coming can have a tripod attached to it, so I'm sure a monopod is no problem?)

I find myself using the 5D less and less. I am not sure what to do with it, Dante wants me to trade him the 5D and 1DMIIN for a 1DsMII

What's this, "I HAVE to go on a cruise to the Virgin Islands...." Sheesh, mate, your parents buy you the notorious 300, and now you HAVE to go on a cruise... You've got whining down to an artform....
