YAY!!! 😀

What problems are you having with Vista? I use it in my laptop and actually prefer it to Xp for the most part.

I have an Ubuntu partition in my desktop but hardly ever boot it up. I find Linux needs more tinkering than I have time for to work properly, but I’m no expert either.

I use GIMP for windows and love it.

Somewhere along the line this thread went very bizarre.

Instead of looking at how many votes I got, I just call my Mom or Aunt and tell them to shower me with praise.

I gave my mom the link to my Flickr 6 months ago and she still hasn’t looked at it.

So I don’t even have that going for me 🙁

I neeeeeed votes!!!!! It validates me!!!

[nobigdeal]

I dunno- Based on the clickthroughs I’ve gotten on my pics this week, I was expecting more votes as well. *shrug*.

My block letters have 2 clicks. My camera shot has 8. Go figure?

The shots I posted for orionid have 12 & 16. 😕

Yeah, I noticed the hosting change. Dunno if that did it, but that was the only thing I could come up with as well.

/first Barbie porn was for the Barbie and Ken contest 2 years ago
//bugporn was my gateway porn
///I can stop anytime I want.

What about the “Fork porn”?

I thought that stuff was only available in Europe!

That’s hardcore

Many thanks in advance.

/had to reasort to the archives this week. 1) Black sand beach, Hawaii 2) East altar, Notre Dame, Paris, France 3) Plaza de Espa?a, Seville, spain

2 of them were too big so I resized and hosted on my flickr.

Thanks alot. And sorry about the sizing issue. I’ve been getting that alot recently as I keep forgetting to lower the .jpg quality setting in photoshop.

No problem. Wasn’t a big issue. I am only recently starting to make sure my shots are the correct size. Most weeks I would be scrambling to resize at the last minute when I couldn’t upload em

hi folks, how you been?

My macro setup is very similar to yours, but I have 4* 26-watt fluorescent bulbs in the articulated desk lights that clamp to a desk. Like this with a tent similar to yours.

Your setup is much more portable than mine, which has basically taken over that whole desk since I got it.

One problem that you might have with your setup is that most cameras natural whitebalance is daylight, so the tungsten lights are going to cause a bit of loss in the green and blue channels compared to daylight-color lights.

(I had to look hard to get “daylight” fluorescent bulbs locally, they weren’t that expensive, though)

One thing you might want to try is pulling the backdrop forward a bit to make the transition from horizontal to vertical less noticable.

I find if I bounce my big flash off the ceiling the colors really pop in that box.
and yea…pull the backdrop and maybe step it with a small box underneath.

hi folks, how you been?

i used this setup http://www.davesweblife.com/images/stuff%20for%20friends/studio-setup.jpg for tonight’s shots with good results. or i like them, we’ll let the voters decide how good they are 🙂

the folding studio is here http://www.amazon.com/Digital-Concepts-Ps-101-Portable-Lighting/dp/B000FBF400 but i got mine at wal-mart for $25 when they cut the price in half. at what i paid it’s a good deal.

the light laying in front is part of this kit http://www.davesweblife.com/images/stuff%20for%20friends/video-light.jpg which i recently picked up at goodwill for $5.00. i have no idea how old it is and can’t find any info on the web about it. if any of you can point me toward some it would be appreciated.

as to how i’ve been, well these will tell you. http://www.flickr.com/photos/57055068@N00/ not for the squeamish. managed to leave my finger in a machine at work just a bit too long. but its healing nicely and i should be back at work after the new year.

I have the same kit I used for tonight theme. It’s cheap and works good but the lights are a bit weak for the box. I find they work nice hand held for spot lighting but damn they get hot!
I will probably upgrade lights in a few months.
Sorry to hear about the finger! That looks PAINFUL!! At least you still have it! Glad you are healing.

I have a photo that I desperately wanted to use for “orange” but couldn’t because of the no citrus difficulty (woman in orange sweater below orange tree). Would this be kosher, or would it not work because it didn’t meet the original theme?

Hah, I am in that same basket (of fruit….)

Glowing orange here we come (if entries that weren’t allowable in the original theme are allowed)

I don’t see how a shot that didn’t fit the original theme could be used in this one.

If Orionids shot is focused on an orange sweater that happens to be on someone under an orange tree it may be ok.

Mods?

Thanks!

Unfortunately the clouds rolled in last night before the moon came out.

[nobigdeal]

You’re way, way overexposing these. Remember that the moon is actually being lit by direct sunlight, so the exposure you need is actually not that great. Not quite what you’d shoot at full sunlight during the day, but not far off – something like 1/125 at F11 at 100 ISO.

I should have figured that out by looking at the data for all the photos. The better ones had faster shutter speeds.

I’m going to try again later.

Thanks!

Where is it currently?
NBD still have it?

I still have it. It is heading out Monday morning to Uranus.
