Haha, I left the SD card at home in the camera...Plus all I ended up taking was a shot at a red light.

Rule #76: No excuses! Play like a champion!!

Oh I intend to go and get a SD card today at Big Lahts....nah. I have to stop the bleeding on this
project today. I have three cameras, all kinds of accessories and I am down 1000, haha. You'd think a person
in the TV business would have a tripod, but I didn't, haha. I have access to a dozen, but not one for me.
Got a bunch of 16G SD cards, some rechargeable AAs, a backpack, it's a slope, I think. But I threw
away my lift ticket on this one. I think I am gonna test this 1080p video tonight.

A few of my shots.

I like the effect of filtration on your shots, Dave. I need to get my filters on my camera. I have yet to
unwrap the package because I have been testing out another camera. Wonderful balance to those photos.

These should be the last posted photos from the unfiltered collection. I was testing some features on this
WELL-used S5 before my 30 day warranty runs out, and learning various things. It's tore up in the glass
coating dept, the LCD and viewfinder I mean. But mechanically and optically it seems to be alright. I shrank these
down to an easy forum size. It's been an awfully long time since I messed with the ins and outs of actual
photography outside automatic point and shoot. These were all manual, lol. Enough apologies.

Dave and Brad, nice photo's

[ambientboy]

Literally shooting from the hip. Agropoli, Italy.

[OLS]

Ahhh, Mila Kunis likes gelato!

[Davis]

Thanks guys! I'll get some more up soon. Havent been out shooting recently. Too damn hot!

[OLS]

You are right it's hot. I combine shooting trips with my evening walks which really has an effect on the light,
granted it's better than midday, but wouldn't it be nice if I could shoot at 7am or so? It is still plenty hot in the
evenings here, but if I have to go and walk anyway, I now just take the camera. Of course it is all new to
me again, haven't shot film since 1980-82, and have really kept the P&S at home unless I was on vacation or
shooting boudoir. So it's like a newlywed for me lately, taking it out everytime I go outside.

Better light shot of the church, and a preset White Balance, too.

Great shots OLS. I haven't been up to Memphis in a while. Makes me wnat to go for the weekend. Is that B&M still on Poplar?

J.W.

[OLS]

I know of one on Union (Madison Tobacco) and if there is one on Poplar, you might mean Tobacco World that's got pipes, pens and cigars....kind of across the tracks from The Belmont Restaurant out on the east side of town.

Space Shuttle Atlantis and Crowd from yesterday, July 8, 2011:

[OLS]

Out again this weekend with the camera. These will be the first adulterated photos I have posted,
a little Photoshop messing around. Trying to find the perfect series of tinkering maneuvers to
create a Pseudo-HDR look with Photoshop 6. Some success and some failure, lol.

[OLS]

And one that isn't messed with, outside of Brightness and Contrast.



More shots messed around with in Photoshop....

[OLS]

And one with no adulteration whatsoever......

[OLS]

Haha, I looked at that MPD and MFD shot and realized you can see the bird $hi+ on the car window, lol.
Took that at a stoplight and must have decided rolling down the window was gonna take too long.
