GAH. I just had a frustrating TMS experience. I went in to pick up my lenses (they were meeting B&H prices so I couldn't resist buying locally). I gave them my debit card and it said "insufficient funds". I KNEW there was enough money in there...thankfully my bank was across the street so I walked over and found out that it was a "daily limit" issue...only so much can be used on your card per day. I never knew this. Mostly because I use credit for everything and pay it off from my bank account. Anyway, so the teller says "I'll get you a cashiers check if you want". I say "okay" and take it back over to the camera store...who then can't figure out how to run a cashier's check through equifax...so then after much waiting (HOLY MOO!! I JUST WALKED ACROSS THE STREET AND GOT IT FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE) they finally decide to call the bank and make sure that the bank printed it (like I have a printer in my car?? GAH)...
It used to be that a cashier's check was the same as cash. I didn't want to walk out of the bank with over $3k so I had it printed up DIRECTLY to the store. . HOW MUCH EASIER can it get?? Apparently not. sigh
It was just the culmination of a frustrating afternoon. I went to TWO shipping stores to ship out the things purchased from me today. Neither were open. Why? Because no one was doing pick-ups or deliveries. Apparently the shipping companies take more time off than the rest of the world for holidays.
Don't mind me over here...*black cloud in the corner with dynamite jacks strategically assembled*

May 2009 bring you all increased blabbering and happiness. May all your lenses be shiney and your pictures colourful (except when they're in black and white).
Felicitations.
Pete & Ali.

Here's a couple of Kona shots with one of the new lenses. It was almost dark when I took them so they are at 2500 iso (but run through NR).
I can't figure out nikon's aiservo (continuous servo to them). I'm gonna need a lot more light and practice too once I figure out the settings.

question: if you set up your voice recognition stuff when you're a bit drunk, do you think it would recognize you the next morning?

ROFLMAO!
Happy new year folks! I will be ringing in the new year sober and in bed. WOOHOO!
All of my immediate family on both sides are within 20 minutes of us and we see them a LOT. NYE is just not a thing we've ever had a tradition about and I'm happy for that.
He's silly.
