LR5?!?! Is it a free upgrade? I just checked for updates the other day and there wasn't any.

Damn you Justin! I could have stayed in the dark and been perfectly happy.......instead, I'm downloading LR5, this is totally on you!! :)

Re: Photography Thread
 

Jeff, PM sent

Re: Photography Thread
 

Which in Justin-speak means, 'shhh...its bootleg, brah'. :r

My Summer Yard Work Treats, minus the Fresh-squeezed Valencia Orange Juice I had with it.
(Nikon D70 with Nikkor 35-80mm 4-5.6............I had previously, erroneously, called it a 3.5-5.6.)

Saliva-inducing shot there Brad, love those little guys!!!

Re: Photography Thread
 

Available office light, no tripod, not too crappy for a dino-cam.
I ain't going back to D70 anytime soon with all the other crap
I have picked up since, but one day Tony is gonna find a dope
dealer's wallet on the pavement and give me a call....not about
my WALLET, about my camera.

I feel more relaxed already....and on a FRIDAY, no less!

Justin, your challenge... should you choose to except it:



A close up high res image of a cats eye, without any glare or reflections.

Re: Photography Thread
 

The Japanese gardens are definitely serene. That is until there are a bunch of people vying to take pictures and talking far too loudly!

Re: Photography Thread
 

Oh crap... I see in the near future a posting with a sh*tload of cat pics :r:r

Re: Photography Thread
 

nah, that was also in the past, lol....

Re: Photography Thread
 

:r maybe sometime this week Shane

Brad, wtf is with using photobuckrt and not Flickr! :sl

Re: Photography Thread
 

Not gonna happen. Only way for me to achieve that is with a big soft box to put the cat in with a hole for the lens. Don't have one and surely not going to buy or build one :r

Re: Photography Thread
 

Just line one of these with tissue paper!

Re: Photography Thread
 

:r not the same. Lights not gonna penetrate the brown board. I still need light, just soft light not harsh direct light.

Re: Photography Thread
 

No no you did not recommend a box o'joe :sl

:r:r:r

Re: Photography Thread
 

Yah I was kidding, although you could cut out the sides and apply tissue paper. At least that is how the youtube instructions do it :r

Re: Photography Thread
 

Then I have to get te cat to not freak out and hold still...

Re: Photography Thread
 

Or drug it. :banger Dialted cat eyes!

Re: Photography Thread
 

:sl

Re: Photography Thread
 

I have a huge jar of cat-nip. It's the only time I like our cats.....when they are high as kites. :D

Re: Photography Thread
 

Re: Photography Thread
 

Re: Photography Thread
 

Looks like a sharp-shinned hawk...

OK question answering time.....
A.) Justin already built a soft box, not sure how he liked it considering he says he has none.
B.) I think of Flickr as more of a 'portfolio' website, and the Bucket is more of a
dump site. The only things that I put on Flickr are things I want to be associated
with in terms of what I do artistically. The bucket is more for putting test images,
images to link to for the Asylum....cat pics, stuff like that.

Re: Photography Thread
 

I will say one thing abotu soft boxes, I never realized how expensive a decent one light soft setup was til I quit working
for TV stations. Every commercial production department I ever worked for, we had one or two. The other day I went
looking for a decent one for my side venture and I almost pooped a wombat. Those things, the kind you mount to
a tungsten lamp fixture on a lightstand, OUCH! I didn't want one so bad anymore. I looked at one just now, 16x22",
no lamp or stand, $175. Well, after poking around, I CAN get a flourescent one from a cheaper maker for $50. But still....

Re: Photography Thread
 

I'll give that P510 credit, it has a LOOOoong zoom lens on it. If I am not mistaken its 1000mm equivalent.
I can name all those species, provided that is a river otter and not a beaver.

Re: Photography Thread
 

Some butthole messed up the display....can't you buy your beans over in the bean aisle?

Re: Photography Thread
 

And I let the feet make me wrong....that's a COOPER'S HAWK.....sorry.

Re: Photography Thread
 

Correct it is a river otter which was by far the hardest pic to take. Little bastard kept going under and popping up out of range!

The gators were actually kind of close so I didn't have to zoom it out too far but you're right, it does have a hell of a zoom. The zoom was the only way to get a picture of this little guy:

Re: Photography Thread
 

So my buddy is shooting a wedding tomorrow and I let him borrow my 6D. He got home with it from meeting up and was dicking around just taking pix in his house. He hates me now cuz he wants one after seeing how clean the images are at 3200 iso :r

Re: Photography Thread
 

Justin 'The Enabler' strikes again :D

Re: Photography Thread
 

He won't be buying one anytime soon. He just sold his 60d and bought my 60d cuz it had less clicks. And he bought a used 7d also :r

Re: Photography Thread
 

He looks huge, but probably about the size of a half dollar.

Some folks have no consideration for their fellow man.

Re: Photography Thread
 

And us shutterbugs know that for a fact! I've b!tched about it before about how people will step right in front of you when you're framing a shot. I'm not talking accidentally, but they see you getting ready to shoot but they walk right into it and stand there. :sl :sl

Shelby GT500 from 1969 (or 1970?)

http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p...ps58807d9a.jpg




The other Shelby is a 1968 GT500KR. KR meant King of the Road, and boasted the 428 Cobra Jet engine. Rated at 335 horsepower, tests showed that Ford wayyyy under reported the output of that one. Actually that engine probably put out over 400 HP

Re: Photography Thread
 

or how about a sweet 1969 GTO?

http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p...pse756dd3a.jpg

Re: Photography Thread
 

Or an oddball AMC AMX

OK, now this is a rare car, if not necessarily a tire melting demon:
