Guard lama! Sweet I'm gonna have to talk the wife into that. Will double as a lawn mower too.

If someone had a grenade and came over to my place they could probably bag a few of them by throwing it out the roof of my observatory around 1-2 am into the tall grass in my neighbors yard.

I drive 1,000 miles/week around central ohio. Don't speed and you don't need one, otherwise see Tim's post.

Also if you don't shoot in raw mode, you should. It will give the best results though im not sure if the d200 has 16 bit raw files.

If your finding photos a little to "bright" you can dial them down a bit using exposure compensation. Go to something like negative 2/3 stop and see how you like it, then adjust from there. I shoot canon so I typically have to adjust +2/3 stop to brighten things up a bit.

I wouldn't edit photos on a laptop. The screens not really made for it and the processing power is always going to be weaker than a desktop. For photo editing, the ability to calibrate the monitors is key, all else is a waste without it.

Good point, while your at it check any codes. Codes will cause the "limp" mode which is almost exactly what your describing as your symptoms anyway. Since you just bought it maybe someone took the bulb out of the "check engine" warning indicator.

Pretty cool. I've been meaning to get down to COSI for that angle of Levec Tower at dusk.

I agree she should be realistic, but I bet she wins eventually. Though I'm not sure how any discrimination suit would work for her. Will be interesting to follow.

There cute, but I'm a sucker for baby photos too. Here's one of mine, http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f185/EWhytsell/Ella/IMG_1246.jpg

No lobbyist would be good, but I'd really like to see term limits for congress in the hope that it takes some of the politics out of things. It would hopefully mean that they'd get some balls and take a stand vs worry about being elected.

Its a show for sure, but its getting to become more of a concern to each public each time. With the tea party movement its getting a lot of attention.

I'll do the first angle at the same time as the second one in a few months. Waiting for the sun to move south to make the sunset more even.

There is a touch of grain in the fullsize raw though JPEG compression + web color conversion done in the browser probably make it much more apparent.

The second one is a 10 second exposure at F/8 at about 20:10 on Sept. 12th. The tripod had a leg in the river too:-) Would love to get one from up on the railroad bridge, but I couldn't pull it off.

lol, here's the view from down the river. I took this one last fall and have a 12x18 printed on metallic paper displayed at my house. http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f185/EWhytsell/Columbus.jpg

Nasty problem then, I do know they will shut off if anything is wrong with the sensors along the air intake system. Have you put it on a computer to see if there are any codes or "pending codes." If you have an ODB-II reader it might be time to drive the car with it logging while it happens. That would be my only way of figuring it out besides just guessing and playing part swap.

I canceled a year ago because their streaming selection sucks. Has it gotten any better? I use hulu and mega video mostly and some chinese sites, but I don't mind 80s antenna quality.

Dark wing duck, tale spin, and tiny tunes.

I lol'd

Well you are in the cowboy state. It just wouldn't be right not being able to tote guns there.

Since I moved here and thought about taking a photo of columbus this angle hadn't been possible due to the bridge construction. Finally I can take photos there too:-) http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f185/EWhytsell/IMG_2238.jpg It wasn't the best evening to shoot it so me making the noob mistake of leaving my camera in JPG mode wasn't the worst thing I could have done though it really limited my editing. I had hoped to fake a nice low humidity fall evening in PS, but oh well I'll just wait for one and do it right.

Thats awesome.

Thats interesting considering hard disk space is an odd commodity in that it doubles in size and halves in price about annually.

Post processing is how you make a picture into a photograph these days. So many can easily take pretty pictures, but straightening, cropping to just the right point of view, color balancing, and tweaking some levels here and there go a long way towards doing something the rest of the people won't bother with. I've seen photogs at trade shows who sell their stuff as "I take the photos and hand you the SD card at the end of the night." That gives me the willies just thinking about anyone seeing my untouched photos. I consider the job about 50% done at the end of the wedding day. I spend another 4-10hrs making everything are nice as possible before anyone sees it. Though I do try to let some sneak peaks out on facebook, but I like letting all the guests upload their snap shots of the event and then BAM, the photogs stuff posts up and its 100X brighter, sharper, and just perfect.
