I have no idea what that’s supposed to mean, but I meant that I’m a television cameraman and I was working tonight, which is why I missed the chance to photograph the eclipse.

Elvis famously shot his TV. I can’t resist a pun.

I was shooting some TV tonight so I couldn’t see. It was probably too cloudy anyway.

You’re an Elvis impersonator?

I would like to plug dreamhost.com

I use them, and they have a promotional code just for me: “stapler”.
Mostly I just wanted to plug that.

How many days are we planning for this shindig?

They sell adapters so you can mount any lens with a __mm filter mount on your ____-compatible camera body. They’re like $10 on ebay. Combined with an old, cheap fully manual lens it’s really handy. The whole thing can be yours for the low low price of $___.

Holy crap, you guys do stuff sober? Doesn’t it make your heads hurt?

NERD FIGHT!!!!

Did manage to post one (I think). Thanks to the EX-wife I do not have a super fast computer or one of those cable lines, otherwise It would of been up much faster. I guess I consider myself lucky for not sleeping under an interstate overpass anymore.

You sure did post one, and a great photo at that. Good job.
How the heck did you get that shot? Are the bombs real?

there isn’t a camera store here in town anymore and i haven’t made the trip to the next town west that has one.

All this time I thought “southeast LA” meant you were in the barrio.

[staplermofo]

If you want, you could e-mail the photos to me and I could host and post for you until you get the hang of things.

[staplermofo]

I’m game if not good.

Go go go!
Try to get him in a position where someone could photoshop him indecently with staplers. You know, just in case he’s president some day.

The Canon has a better image sensor and processing engine, I don’t think anyone would argue otherwise.

All that other stuff, well…
How tiny are your hands?

Step two would be go to a camera store and demand they let you manhandle those mofos.

(I love my 350D)

But… the kit lens is horrific. I’m not a quality nut by any stretch of the imagination and I never touch it. I don’t even let it sit by my other lenses. If I wasn’t so lazy I would get out a marker and change “Canon” to “Cannot” on it.
How badly do you need the extra wide-ity?
I hear slightly nicer things about the 28-105mm (but never used it, saw it, or have any proof it even exists)
