Did you switch your AF from the AF button to the * button?

I did, being a creature of habit.

I probably will too...(same reason)

Hehe I never really got that used to it so I have not done it. I did set it on my MKIIN and 5D. On 5D I really saw no benefit especially not in portrait mode without a grip.

Excellent duck shot. I love the goofy look on their face as they are on approach.

Haha and I like the way they tilt to the side. I would not want to be on an airplane landing if it tilted that much

I KNOW! You can almost see them go cross-eyed with the expectation of a cold bum

mooo guys

*sigh* - longest morning in a long time... haven't even had a shower yet....


So yesterday I get a phone call that the fiber leading to our office will be down from 12am-6am for a circuit move... fine - short notice, but okay.

I wake up at 7am - no data... I call them up, "Yea, something went wrong - it should be ready at 8" - check at 8, they say 9, check at 9 they say we have no bloody idea something went wrong.... GREAT!

So I have tons of customers calling me and all I can tell them is the school district and the city are both down and it isn't our fault....

Then I find out that the fiber truck didn't show up till 4am... so they started the repair 4 hours late... NO.... if you are 4 hours late in your window of time, you scrap it and re-schedule...

Finally everything came back and I had 50 threads to catch up on -but sheesh....

I am just tired... my phone battery has died I have been on it so much... still in my PJs - working from home... just tired...

Lucky you. They run WebSense where I work. It blocks You Tube. Hell... Lately it seems to be blocking just about everything. Including my own web site. So far POTN still gets through, but I don't expect that to last much longer. I never thought I'd hate a piece of software so much...

In my world it's Sunday the 13th. I've been in two car accidents this decade. I totalled a car on Sunday, June 13, 2004. Then, I was rear-ended last month on Sunday, May 13, 2007. The only other accident I've ever been in was in 1982 or 1983. I don't remember the exact date (obviously, since I'm hazy on the year now), but I do remember it was a Sunday. I'd be willing to bet it was the 13th of whatever month it happened to be...

That is some crappy luck dood...on a totally different note...thanks for the Flahr ID on the Yucca. It doesn't look like any Yucca I saw out west, but according to the local nursery, it is an eastern variant of the Yucca.

No, the lens is a ff lens... and I put it on a Film camera

Let me understand...you have used an EF 16-35L II with a FF camera and there was no effect on the light with a Cokin P series holder mounted to it?

I think he has a tamron 17-35 which has a 77mm filter...and he was using it on his film camera

Talking on the forum UN-WASHED is just not acceptable.

You would be correct - Riley doesn't have a 16-35... yet...

Clean now! Feels good!

Hey Scott...I changed my export to prophotorgb and seem to be having better luck with that (it was in srgb but lightroom does it's work in prophotorgb according to the help section) and I'm wondering if that was making a difference in my colors...anyway, they are seeming more true to my screen anyway (thus far anyway).
