FYI - found out from the locariders forum the guy will be ok:

That makes my ass pucker

That prolly looked something like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5reDsSIiAk

I don't normally talk politics or religion because it never ends well. That said, we're screwed.

Now we're talking! :idhitit: I've actually been wanting to do some glamor photography but don't really have good lighting (a few reflector umbrellas with a my EZX430 and EX580 flashes) nor a model. I've gotten very good at glamor post processing/skin work in Photoshop.

Hey that was nice...would give rep but apparently I've rep-whored you enough

A few more from Paris...the first was with the same p&s as above and the second with my SLR while floating down the Seine on a river cruise.

Most of the bigger lenses also have a white exterior...these are the ones you see at sporting events, etc.

This'll get you started.. http://lifehacker.com/5815742/basics-of-photography-the-complete-guide Look up a book called "Understanding exposure". A very good book for beginners and even those who think they know a thing or two. **EDIT - link** http://www.amazon.com/Understanding-Exposure-3rd-Edition-Photographs/dp/0817439390/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1340847025&sr=8-1&keywords=understanding+exposure

You don't need expensive gear to take nice pics...those are nice. The nighttime shot I took above was done with a Panasonic Lumix LX3 point and shoot.

Canon's high-end line of lenses. Typically fast lenses, weather sealed, and high quality glass, etc. L= Ludicrously expensive (actually, I think it stands for Luxury).

Sparked by another thread, thought it would be cool to have a thread to discuss for those of us who fancy ourselves as somewhat competent photographers and for those wanting to learn more. As for me, I have a lot of gear but don't shoot professionally (did a few paid gigs for acquaintences but that's it). Anyway, here are a few samples of random stuff I've done, mostly on vacation. I need to update it with more. http://500px.com/Jeva Been playing with tilt-shift (post-processing) lately. Here are a few taken in Paris & Monaco last month. ...aaaand I mispelled the title

My son is supposedly shipping out there in Nov...101st Air Assault infantry.

^^^ this and lensrentals.com and rentglass.com are all good. I've rented a few but finally have upgraded to mostly L lenses so It's been awhile since I rented any. Here are some images I've done. I really need to get my shit together and add more. http://500px.com/Jeva

Curious as to how it happened and what kind of gear you were wearing? Glad to see you are (mostly) ok! It's a good time for upgrades on the bike

If you pass through Ft Campbell, say hi to my boy! Good luck!

If you are looking for an FZ1, there is one here too - http://www.yamahafz1oa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=119877 Don't know the guy or the bike personally, just know for sale and relatively close for many on here.

Any interesting trades?

More zombie activity...this time the family dog was the target http://www.wcpo.com/dpp/news/local_news/water_cooler/another-zombie-like-attack-man-eats-family-dog-after-police-say-he-ingested-synthetic-drug-k-2

Welcome, neighbor

Fuck yeah!

Likely nothing will come of it. A guy at work had his brother killed 5 years back by a drunk running a red light. The guy was convicted and sentenced to 6 months in jail, community service, AA meetings and to pay the family a rather large sum of money. As of this day, as far as they know, the only thing the offender has done is the community service and AA meetings. No time served, not a dime paid to the family. That's fucked up and seems to be happening a lot.

An update on this one...slap on the wrist http://www.journal-news.com/news/crime/butler-teen-will-be-under-house-arrest-1396419.html

http://www.wlwt.com/news/local-news/cincinnati/Motorcycle-crash-closes-I-75-NB/-/13549970/15274290/-/11h2kh8/-/index.html I saw the backup this morning, I hope the rider is OK.

The prison bitch song comes to mind.
