Awwww jeez. Generally the worst you’ll get from me is an earworm.

Well, unless I’m posting on Gorgor‘s wall. I like messing with him.

[olavf]

Oh, okay. Thanks for clearing that up… 😀

[olavf]

Conga-rats, kes!

Elsinore your hubby has lacy undies? That’s a disturbing image indeed…

How is that mug? I’ve been thinking that’d be a pretty neat coffee mug since I first saw them, but I wondered if they look as neat IRL as on the website.

I got the 70-200L travel mug for my birthday. It’s pretty sweet – solid construction, good quality lining, etc. My only complaints are that (1) the lid doesn’t have a drinking hole in it, so I can’t really use it in my car so well, and (2) they didn’t quite get the molding for the mount right. It doesn’t actually mount on the camera.

Man, I didn’t even consider that advantage of having a photographer spouse. No, honey, really, I bought that for you! Smile

Heh. Yeah, it certainly does have certain advantages 😉 But we both have different aspects of photography that interest us. She’s really more into the macro stuff, and I’m more into the people, and studio-type work. But, there is a certain amount of ‘borrowing’ that goes on back and forth…

/plus, it’s a hell of a lot easier to justify purchases. And, she told me that I can get new lights since my incandescent ‘starter’ kit is 4300K and the strobe is halogen, and 5300K…
//I think I may have a buyer for the old kit though w00

As for me, I got a Cokin GND filter kit and a Spyder3 monitor calibrator.

Sweet. I really, really want to get a calibrator soon. Maybe once the takes get done

[olavf]

Oh, and I got Kat a ring-light for her macro lens. I may have to borrow it 😉

[olavf]

That’s pretty trippy sleeping. I’d like to know how they hold a larger camera – It’d be really nice to have something more portable when I’m out and about.

Big score for me: Kat got me a strobe + stand AND a remote trigger. Sweet! 😀

[olavf]

That’s cool Chupa!

It’s 4PM and we’re still waiting for the girls to get here so we can open presents. I know Kat got some camera stuff, but I’ll have to report back later…

[olavf]

And next, the oral sex!

/wait, whut?

[olavf]

Thanks Mopsy! She’s a big cat, but not as bad as some… 😉

/Every time I go to take pictures of the cats, I forget how difficult it can be. I had to pose her with the ornament, but it was absolutely not going to work with me behind the camera. Kat would get her settled the way I wanted, and as soon as her hand moved, Dallas would try and run away. I ended up getting her set up, and calming her down, and running the shutter release while Kat would do something to try and get her attention at the critical moments while standing behind the camera. Even still, it took a bunch of shots to get what I wanted even after we swapped positions. And Dallas is the more docile of the cats 😛

/and, I should have made my text “Felino Navidad les desea una Feliz Navidad”. Oh well. Good puns are hard to come by anyhow.

[olavf]

PandyFarmer – isn’t the snow, like 10 feet up the hill from you? 🙂

[olavf]

Ack. Yeah, feel better ladies =/

[olavf]

Oh hey. Lookie there. Without a second timer, does that count as a simulpost?

Works for me!

/was it good for you too?

[olavf]

jinx

[olavf]

So long as they’re different exposures.

[olavf]

I love my 40D too, but I’m trying to pinch my pennies for a full-frame.

If the 60D is, indeed plastic, I’d probably stick to a 50D too though.

Speaking of…. *drool*
