The 3rd official Random Discussion For TPBM Photo's and Photographers Thread (3)

Looks good, Zane. You got a little sensor slurm there, though.

I'm here for a few.

You still on Lonnie? I loved reading Ashley's bio story you put in the other thread.

I'm still here. Thanks. I needed to write something. I could have posted a thousand more pictures to go with it.

How's the trip going so far?

It's going great.
We went to the Wild Animal Park yesterday, and just lounged around and did some walking at LaJolla beach and Mission beach today.
Tomorrow is Sea World.

We are tired today... for lounging around, we sure did a lot, LOL. The kids did some boogie boarding for a few hours, even though the water was FRIGID. Well, at least I thought it was frigid, lol.

I'd never been to LaJolla before. It's very very pretty. I think it's the first time that I've ever seen the Pacific coast that clear and gorgeous. The water was clear enough to see the bottom. The tide pools were awesome.

Sounds like you're having a good time. Next time I'll have to make sure we can meet up.

Most definitely. If not before, then for the TPBM/RRTP meet.
We will be doing that for sure.
If it ends up being in Oregon, I think we'll take some major time off and leiseurly (sp?) drive it.

The kids (Marian especially) are all looking forward to meeting all of you.
They were real disappointed when meeting you this week didn't work out.
I think they feel like they know you all, I talk about you all so much.

Do you know... has it been decided if the meet is going to be in ORegon?

I have no idea where the meet is supposed to be. I don't think I've looked in that thread for a while. I should check.

Good evening...just checking in again to catch up.

I missed it but from context, congrats, happy b-day, and congrats

Thank you Zane. That was pretty funny about the gatorade getting sucked out by the tube. Did you even feel it at all?

Hi there Cat. Sounds like you and the familia are having lots-o-fun! Taking plenty of pictures right?

Speaking of tubes how is your brother? I am sorry but I had forgotten he was injured. You are such a stoic guy Jim, I know you could share health stories that would make us cringe.

My brother is doing much better, eating good and getting some exercise. He rode his bike over here last weekend for the first time since crashing it 3 1/2 months ago. Still skinny though, up to 157 on a 6-4 frame. He hopes to get back to 180 by the end of winter.

Do you mean health stories like getting canker sores when I was immunio suppressed? I literally had a whole mouth full of them (read: hundreds), with no immune system they spread like wildfire, sure was tough eating.

If anyone cares I bought a G9 to carry on horse back

Cool, been thinking about one too, but think I would rather go for the 40D upgrade first. We'll see. Let us know how you like it.

If anyone is interested I finished the gallery from the steeplechase I shot the other week.
It is here

Some great shots in there Zane, that would be a blast to shoot. I got a good chuckle when I saw the riderless horse doing the jump.

For some reason my internet connection seems to be working good right now, it has been almost 24 hours with next to no service.

Lonnie, I love the bio and the shots. She lived a more exciting life than I DO

GMAE all.

Thanks Dano, go cuddle with your mouse

Awwwwwww that is cute.

Great TR as always, nothing like a good mug of coffee.

Hi Lonnie glad to see ya out. Leyla kept wanting to get different colors and watch them get sucked

Funny, I would want to do the same thing. "Hey lets try...."

Looks good, Zane. You got a little sensor slurm there, though.

Curt is going to invest in a slurm removal system after cleaning up some of the landscape shots from last month. The rocket just doesn't move some of those pesky little spots. He thinks he wants to go with that tacky kind, versus the brush kind. His reasoning is if anything is gritty you lifting it up and off and not sweeping it across the sensor causing the potential for scratching the sensor.

Zane, nice shots from the Steeple Chase. The tack is interesting and I wonder if you would have gotten that nice sheen to the horses' coats in a lower light. I like it when the glisten.

Lonnie, great bio on Ashley. You were lucky to have found each other and share your adventures.

Good Morning to All

Another fun day in store in Cow Town. I have already got a ton of work done, now just have to go to a site meeting where we are just beginning excavation today.

Then..........Arghhhhh​hh..........I guess I am going fabric shopping wife the wife for bedroom stuff, bed coverings, drapes and the such. Not likely to be great fun for me, but Lisa for some reason does not like it when she goes out on her own, spends a bunch of time, then brings samples home only for me to critique them, go figure.

We are having a bunch of friends over for dinner tonight and need to plan a menu and shop. That combined with yard work should keep me hopping today. Not much time to play here.

Becky, I use the swabs all the time to clean the sensor with no issue, too many folks worry too much. The sensor is covered by a protective film anyway. I can't believe you have gotten away with not using more than a blower this far.

Let me know how you find it. Ali's father is considering one.

Well, I recommended it actually, without really knowing much!
