FOLLOWUP: What did you GET for Xmas?

[Indio]

Sorry Indio, I saw you from pretty far away, or I would have said Hi for sure... GT wasn't as busy as i thought it was going to be. I grabbed a couple of drivers, and went to the launch monitor in the back right away.

LOL no prob, Bugsy was on a whirlwind shopping spree anyway!

[little brit]

Well I didn't get any golf gear.

I did get my lens. Got a couple of shots today of my daughter sitting on the window seat before heading out with her Dad. Here she is

[little brit]

One more for fun

[Indio]

Would she consider marrying me???

I think you would have to stand in line

[Indio]

I think you would have to stand in line

Oh damn, I will have to disappoint her since I can't stand for long at this point

[fundonny]

Um, wow! Bob and I are sharing a brain on this one.

Leave my brain alone! There is another response availble here but being banned from the forum is not a goal of mine right now

[fundonny]

Sadly, I think Bob has the 50 year old version of my brain. LOL

But it is like an unused club for sale.... 9.5 of 10

Maureen, those are stunning pictures of a beautiful woman. I have a couple of questions. No, Bob, not any question that you might think of.

First, how did you attach the pictures to your post? They appear larger than is normally permitted. Also, what kind of camera are you using?

Thankyou Mike

I attached the pictures using Apple's MobileMe, you just double click on 'copy image location' and put it into the photo attachment on this web site. I actually don't know how to do any other size For some reason the pictures are de-saturating when I post them on there, I need to figure out why they have lost some of their vibrancy.

The camera is a Nikon D300 with a 85 1.4 lens. (My other baby)

[little brit]

Um, wow! Bob and I are sharing a brain on this one.

Glad you like the pics

[spackler]

Hey Mike, it's basically a link to a picture hosted on another site. To post it here, just take the url/location of the picture and put [ img ] and [ /img ] around it, without the spaces. I have a picture I took of VJ at the PGA this year hosted on photobucket at this url: http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a272/davephin/PGA%20Championship/DSC_1620_Medium.jpg

The shortcut to all of this is to click the little image of the mountain landscape right above the box where you enter your text for a post on here. Paste the url in there and the image automatically imbeds using the image tags.

Now, I slap the image tags around the url and voila.

[spackler]

Oh and nice present Maureen, that is a sweet lens.

[big mac]

Hey Maureen---has your daughter expressed any interest in learning the game? I'm with Bob---could not stand that long either---and Diane has already smacked me And NO you can not use it as a new avatar either

[little brit]

Thanks, I am it is a fantastic lens. I would sell all my others just for this one. But luckily I didn't have to

Actually she has a real natural talent for it. some people have it all. I took her to the range for the first time a year ago and she was hitting a 7 iron about 90 yds straight off the bat. She is a better putter than me too. (which isn't hard)But she hasn't much interest at this stage. Plus she can't afford it.

[little brit]

By the way guys. I took more pics of her today. I need to process them, but I am really thrilled with them. I will post when I am done. Right now there are loads to do. She is very photogenic, it is hard to take a bad one.

She has gone back to Toronto now

A beautiful young lady that reminds me of a young Christina Applegate .

She hears that. She also hears Angelina Jolie, Denise Richards and Carmen Electra. People see different things. I depends a lot on how dark her hair is at the time and how she does her make-up. She is a bit of a chameleon.

Santa was great to me. I burnt my finger on one hand, smashed the other up by jamming it between a foot-board and an old TV I was setting down, and spent much of the last few days setting up 3 new flat screen TV's for my parents and my sister.

I did however get a package of SHAMWOW, which for some reason is the coolest little surprise present. I plan on pouring anything I can find in the fridge that is a liquid, all over the kitchen floor just to give these babies a true test run. I do hope they live up to the hype or the girlfriend is going to be mighty angry when she gets home from visiting family.

Little Brit's daughter kinda stole some of the 'ole ShamWOW's thunder, didn't it?

LOL it is supposed to be about my new lens not the daughter, (to stay within the present context)

Here is one more taken with my new lens

[little brit]

So what happened with the ShamWow anyway??? Do they work?

[Sakuraba]

Is that a Shamwow on your daughter's head?

Seriously, Maureen, you've got a photographers eye. Those are excellent photos.

No that's my scarf

Thanks Sak

OK, I will keep it about the lens, the first pic looks a little soft to me. Second one is spot on as far as I am concerned, love the catchlights in the eyes.

Also, in keeping with the theme, she is beautful and I am sure you are extremely proud of her.

From a fellow Nikon shooter as well.

[fundonny]

Someone's gonna have to send an ambulance to my place, I think I may pass out. You can lose yourself in those eyes, holy toledo.

Hi Michael Yes, I agree it looks a bit soft. I will have to see what I can do. It looks a lot more sharp in RAW I will make sure I didn't mess up the processing somewhat. The focus point is on the eye but not absolutely dead centre in this one. This is shot at 2.8. The second one is at 1.4 and I nailed that one.

I have more (I think even better) to process, but want to learn more in processing as I am not that good yet.

Nice to see a fellow Nikon shooter on here. We have two hobbies in common. Or are you pro?

Yes I am extremely proud of her. She is a vibrant gutsy young woman.

I agree that you nailed the second one. I am not a pro, but have a passion for photography. Many years ago, before the digital age, I did my own developing and that was a lot fun. Just getting back into it again over the past year or so and to keep this on topic a bit, for Christmas I received a set of Elinchrom studio strobes (the BXRi series) and am currently using a Nikon D3 that I take most pics with a 24-70 2.8.
