erik_skipit Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 I'm hoping Shiva post another Image or two.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rose_duclos Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Erik, the photo of the week (post) is for up to 3 pics per person. Some people have unwieldy computer connections, and this forum becomes very difficult to download when people don't follow a limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miserere_mei Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Roger, I LOL'd, I really, really did; both at the story (which was clear from your photograph) and at the look on Bogan's face "you meant I wasn't meant to chew on that? Really???" Ha ha ha ha! Peter, I think I might hate you for that 2nd pic. I've been trying to get shots of blue jays around my house for weeks, but there's no way. I've finally given up and have put my Sigma 400mm f/5.6 on eBay. Seriously. Matthew, love that little girl, great pics. Robert, #9 is The One. Lovely. O Shiva, I hope you enjoyed that seagull. Did it taste like chicken? Sorry about not commenting on others. It's all good, but I don't have enough time! :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthew lies Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Thanks everyone for the nice comments. These threads have exploded with quality pics since I was here last. Having just moved, I'm hoping to get back out there soon and explore my new surroundings. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
personalphotos Posted October 28, 2008 Author Share Posted October 28, 2008 I must apologize for missing John B's Japanese Maple shots. I don't know If I've ever seen one in person. I like the second shot. Very nice colour if not a little soft. Miserere, I thought you liked that lens? If it's a touch softer than the FA*300 it might be a better lens! I'm told the shots don't look good because they are too 'perfect'. I'm gonna savour that comment for awhile. I'll probably never hear it again.... Thanks for the comments.

mcmanamey Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Rose - The lack of trees in the photos w/ the desk aren't my fault! That was the ONLY piece of ground in Wisonsin that didn't have 12 trees on it! We're taking the Talihena Drive this weekend - the best spot to be in OK to see actual trees and lots of em! I tried to talk Matt into going back up to WI, even saying we could go to MI instead, but no dice. I think it has something to do w/ his silly ideas of needing actual amounts of sleep before getting back to work on Monday, and having only 2 days in which to drive & shoot. Party pooper.

pj_vesterback Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Jeez... Maria... I'm curious... how long are your weekend drives? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snik75 Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Come to Wisconsin! It's lovely here! O Shiva, welcome back. I am always happy to marvel at your shots. Javier - that's the "play room" which means the toys are everywhere all the time. The living room we clean up (a little) if company comes. :-) Haig - that last one totally cracked me up. "For the ladies" indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaophotography Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I guess it's not too late to post? I have been experiencing the pains of switching cameras. Just after I sold and shipped my dear k100d super, I had to have about 30 shots, so out came my trusty ole LX with the grand Velvia 100F. Then I had to have a few portraits of a model so there went a roll of B&W. I would like to comment on each photo, but seeing as how there are well over 80 pictures, I'll just say a general..... "Looking better every week.....great job everybody....enjoy your Pentax equipment for the reason you bought it!":-)) I just found out that a panoramic can be made out of the RAW file, if the computer will run that big of file. So, my computer got frozen for about 10 min. while it made this shot.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaophotography Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 This was from back when the trees still had color, around my neck of the woods.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaophotography Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 This was taken on the same day as the above, only about 10 miles up river. Have a great week everyone! -Jon<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcmanamey Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Jon Reid - very pretty! Where's that at? Patrick V - sorry, hadn't checked back (obviously forgot to click 'notify me'). A weekend drive? Not too much or long anymore. We'll do about 720 miles in 2 days this weekend - leaving tomorrow night so we can be at the Talimena Drive starting point by 7am or so saturday. Back home saturday night. The photos above are from my marathon trip Oct 14. 2500 miles in 73 hours. There was actually a purpose to that trip, but I was determined to stop and take every picture I wanted to. That's why it took 73 hours, instead of 65. Getting kinda lost in Knoxville didn't help, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaophotography Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Maria - the panoramic shot is from the foot-hills parkway, I don't know which pull-off. The 'Signs of Fall,' is from lake Ocoee. (where the river runs into the lake) And 'The River' is maybe not quite 10 miles up the Ocoee river. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pj_vesterback Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Ouch... 2500 miles in 73 hours? That's like me driving from thunder bay to knoxville and back in 73 hours. Done it a few times but never in 73 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcmanamey Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 lotsa caffeine. and looooong (walking) rest stops, which is why it took 8 hrs more than I expected I was expecting the Smoky Mtns to be the prettiest part of the trip - and was surprised to realize that WI was the prettiest. (I'm going back!) Also didn't expect so much hilly-ness in WI, either. I'm making a point of taking US hwys through sometime. Am I the only person that now HATES (I can not emphasize that enough) driving in Milwakee? I'd rather drive St Louis in rush hour. I enjoyed chicago compared to Milwakee, but the rain in WI may have something to do w/ that. I actually enjoy marathon drives - the only thing I don't like is the stuff I miss in the dark. Which was the stuff when I was driving on the US Hwy (stupid construction got me thrown an hour out of my way & on the wrong interstate) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
