4-6 points: You're doing great. You have some room to grow in your photographic experience, but the potential is there!

7-10: You seem like a rational, well balanced and well dressed photographer. The world is your oyster.

11-12: Hi Chris.

and I had 8 points.

A quiz for photographers about photographic accessories:

A. Hats:

1. Meh. Take 'em or leave 'em. I've worn them at times, but it's not all that important. 1 point.
2. Oh, heck yeah. Essential. I have different hats for different settings. Floppy, ball cap, fedoras, driver's caps, you name it. 2 points.
3. No way. Never. People who wear hats all the time are dorks. 3 points.

B. Vests:

1. I can see their use, but I've never been too interested in them. 1 pt.
2. I love 'em. I have everything in my vest. It's so handy. 2 pts.
3. You gotta be kidding me. You'd never see one on me. It's embarrassing. 3 pts.

C. Nikon:

1. I'm a Canon person. To be honest, I don't know that much about Nikon. 1 pt.
2. Nikons are good cameras. Very comparable to Canon products. I personally like Canon better, but I have good friends that shoot Nikon. No problem. 2 pts.
3. Oh, c'mon. Get serious. I will kick you in the neck with a large shoe. 3 pts.

D. Bird Photography:

1. Ooo, I'm interested, but I've never got the hang of it. 1 pt.
2. I have a number of great shots of birds. I find it a vital part of my portfolio. 2 pts.
3. Oh, euphoria! I love to shoot birds! I could spend all day on a bird shoot, any time of year. 3 pts.

4-6 points: You're doing great. You have some room to grow in your photographic experience, but the potential is there!

7-10: You seem like a rational, well balanced and well dressed photographer. The world is your oyster.

11-12: Hi Chris.

ROFLMAO!
Only 5 points for me. I have potential.

I got an 87 what does that mean?


Did you all see the thread about the stores no longer having 40D's in stock. Hopefully that means the 60D is going to be out soon and the prices will go down on 50D's.

You can always just get Nectarines. They are close.

I love nectarines... Good a peaches without being all hairy.

I eat the whole kiwi, too

Including the skin? Yikes. They are way to hairy.

Trying to get back into my routine is proving difficult but, off to the gym, catch you all later!

I can't wait to get back to the gym and relax. Last few days I've been ditch digging and moving 12 tons of large rover rock. It is really heavy work..

DoodleBunz wrote in post #8116258
Ditto, except I peel my own. Blondie was nearly born a peach...when I was pregnant with her, that was one of my worst cravings, and I think I ate 1/2 a bushel in a week, possibly 2. .

I'll peal my own as well, but there is something special when it is all done for you and all you have to do is eat.

I discovered I had just enough ice cream to make a single hot fudge sundae....so I did. It was yummy.

with strawberries? I love a HFS with fresh strawberries.

Cherry for me.

Strawberries would go on my banana split....

Cherry works as well. Which reminds, we have fresh rainier cherries for desert.

Ok now this is just wrong. The kid on this weeks cover of Sports Illustrated happens to be a 16 year old high school sophomore from Las Vegas. He is supposed to be the next great baseball player and from the video I have seen it may be true. However his decision to forgo the last two years of high school, take his GED and then enroll in Community College all to be eligible for the 2010 MLB draft seems kinda stupid to me.

I need some help trying to get files off a card. It has a full day and a bits shooting on it, but shows no files. I am 99% sure it never got formatted. It Explorer it shows the folder DICIM/100 Canon and the date of this folder is the date I am missing, but it shows no files in it. LR too does not see any files. Anyone have any ideas on what it could be, or if there is a way of recovering these files?

I'll stay off my soap box....but I do think there needs to be some serious rule changes and enforcement when it comes to school age students and professional sports. No degree....no play...until your class graduates.
