i always shoot at f2.8

mind if i ask why?

[Curious]

guess Eeek forgot. from his 10:55:18 post: I’ve never enterned before. This could become the start of something fun. Here come my three. Yay!

and stapler if by “clearly see the string” you mean that tiny bit of black above the wing tip. yeah you can if you look really closely in just the right spot. and if that’s not it then i can’t see it.

looks like it’s simulpost night.

from Morchella‘s entries My entries are almost monochrome.

i’m reminded of the “that word doesn’t mean what you think it means” thing. they are nice shots but … well not monochrome. in fact the contrasting colors set off the subject(s) nicely.

[Curious]

well we have (at least) one new participant. Eeek just posted his farktography boobies.

and if you look at his fark profile there’s a story about that first picture but i don’t remember it.

[Curious]

Before hanging up, he very specifically reminded me to be sure the warranty card was there in the box when I brought it in.

right here my heart stopped and a very bad feeling came over me.

it was not misplaced.

sorry for all your problems. then again you’ve been kicking my ass in the contests with your old camera so it’s not like you can’t still take great pictures in the meantime.

nor did you lose your once in a lifetime photos of your trip to Egypt.

feel better now 🙂

[Curious]

For the D&D players out there, my CHA stat is low. =(

did you try putting on your robe and wizard hat 🙂

[Curious]

there was a time when folks would realize they walked in front of you and apologize. now it seems it’s all about what they want. 🙁 i don’t know what caused that but i miss the old days.

now get off my lawn.

[Curious]

I’m a little skittish about doing it cause I’ve never done it before.

nor had i but the link i have above got me past that. i used the cheapy blower that came with the camera and it got 90% of the dust and reduced the small bit that was left. i need to get to a camera store and get the blower in the article.

[Curious]

thanks, that rose is under a tree. the sunlight just happened to be coming through and highlight it like that. the green is lawn in the background.

[Curious]

is it a DSLR? and if so i’d say dust spots. mine has got a couple that only show up against the sky. here’s an article about sensor cleaning. http://www.peakoverload.com/blog/photography/sensor-cleaning.html

ok the flower shots from yesterday are here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/57055068@N00/sets/72157600173821968/ and like todays are 3008 x 2000 and around 4 MB. well two are from before and smaller but they are flowers so they are in the “flower” set also (now).

the four of the dog on the main page titled “close test xxx” are also to show detail.

all the shots labeled close test were shot with the tele lens set at 300 – max tele. the flowers were mostly at minimum distance or closest focus point. also they were all full auto.

given that the 18-70 was a kit lens and the 75-300 tamrom is an inexpensive AF film lens overall i’m happy. it just will take a lot of practice to get the most from the camera/lens combo.

[Curious]

I’ve never seen anyone with their page set up any differently from that. Sorry.

oh well. i did mess with the organize thing a bit after the second batch went up. guess i’ll try again when the current up load is done. that setup has to make browsing photos a pain.

[Curious]

ok, it’s dumbass question time. or maybe n00b question time.

anyway i’m uploading to my flickr pro account and the first batch is done. so i decide it would be nice of they were all in a “set” since they are all the same subject. and i did that but now i have the originals on the main/home page and a “set” with the same shots. how do i get rid of the “o”s from the main page and just have them in the set. flickr help isn’t helping. i really want to organize the photos by subject, similar to how i have my folders on the computer.

[Curious]

It looks like it was an overcast day without much usable light, hence muted colors and a bit of blur-age.

first thanks for the vote of confidence. that table was in the shade and while it did rain today it’s been partly cloudy since then. don’t remember just how sunny (or not) at the time. looking at the pictures in the DiMAGE Viewer (shows all the Exif info) all were 1/200 at F9. for “brightness value” it shows 7. must admit i don’t know what that means. also there was no EV correction.

signed up for a flickr pro account and it’s supposed to be good. the upload page now has no limit and the individual photo limit is up to 10 MB. guess i better start putting up the ones from yesterday.
