mcmanamey Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Still spending most nights up at the hospital, and at night I can mooch wifi from their hotel across the street. (seriously, how behind can a hospital be, not having wireless.... SHEESH) So here I am, and since matt posted riverfest - I'm starting POW first.

mcmanamey Posted July 27, 2008 Author Share Posted July 27, 2008 This one I actually set up & shot on video first, because it was just so STRIKING. It is one of my absolute fav's, period, right now.

alisa_stieg Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Dang, Maria! You beat me! LOL! I really like that red shot...way cool! The only thing I shot all week was my work from today...the daughter of a friend (actually, the daughter is a friend too) is having a baby and I offered to take her maternity shots for her. I am very pleased with the results and hope she is too. Right now, I can't pick my favorite so much. I ended up liking a lot of them for different reasons. We shot the poses at her folk's house, so I was able to get a lot of personal items in the shots; family photos, quits grandmother had made for the daughter when she was born as well as another she made for this new baby...I think that made the shots pretty special. I used my K100D, my SMC Pentax F 50mm 1.7 lens, and shot in manual mode...YIKES! In hindsight, I should have shot in AV mode instead, but shooting in manual is more challenging for me...Anyways, are two... <a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v431/skweekysoo/?action=view¤t=Jul262008_1969.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v431/skweekysoo/Jul262008_1969.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br> <a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v431/skweekysoo/?action=view¤t=Jul262008_1930_1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v431/skweekysoo/Jul262008_1930_1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br> I've straightened that top one using Picassa and it's showing up fine on my monitor, even in the upload on Photobucket. But posted here, it's still crooked...go figure... Javier, I really like that second shot...there's a lot of tension in that photo! And the color in the waves is beautiful...where were YOU? BTW, Maria, I hope your grandmother is feeling better! Lisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markus maurer Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 My second wedding photo shooting with the bride and groom went very well this saturday and the Pentax *istD analog TTL with an Osram Studio 44 hammerhead flash gave nearly perfect results with the beautiful creamy white dressing of the bride on some shots where I did not use manual flash. The park I showed you before invited for some unusual pictures, I can only show you one sample with a lend K10D and the Pentax A-50mm macro, where the persons are not fully recognisable but I really love this one :-)<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markus maurer Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 I went on mountain tour to the "Hohenkasten" near Mt. Saentis and later to the village Appenzell and took some photos in the church "Maurizius"<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markus maurer Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 The bargain of the week was a mint Pentax K SMC 28mm F 3.5 and a Velbon tripod head. And yes, It made me "happy as a cow" ;-)<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markus maurer Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Sorry, the photos in the church where made with the Pentax *istD & Pentax A 50mm F1.7, a good looking and light travel kit, and not the Pentax K10D if that matters :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorus Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 I’m still processing holliday-pics from last week, and I didn’t do any serious shooting. But I have some in-betweens anyway, representing the past week.<br> I haven’t found a jagged-switch sofar , so I’ll upload these just as 700’s and hope the site will leave them alone. <br> <br> <img src="http://album.zoom.nl/public_images/17779/nCAx4p.jpg"> <br> <br> <img src="http://album.zoom.nl/public_images/17779/rD7Lvb.jpg"> <br> <br> <img src="http://album.zoom.nl/public_images/17779/j8rnA0.jpg"> <br> <br> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shots worth sharing Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 My "high-speed" connection is incredibly slow this morning--at the rate it's going, this thread will probably finish loading sometime Tuesday afternoon. I'm looking forward to seeing y'all's photos then. Ooooh, wait! I can see Garry's --very nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shots worth sharing Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Ok--rebooting seems to have cured the issue. Looks like we're off to a great start! Looks like you're taking all in stride, Maria--those are nice. "Maternity pictures" are a new genre as far as I'm concerned but those look very professional to me Alisa--I'll bet you could do wonders with a really good camera (wink.) You lost me with that last shot Markus (just had to shake your booty didn't you?) but the candles are beautiful. I didn't get out & about this week but managed to find something to play with here at home.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dugger Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 :) Another fine morning! Sheez - where do I start? <b>Maria</b>- love your lady in red. <b>Javier</b>- - #2 is great. It's where I'd like to be. <b>Alisa</b> - Abosolutely beautiful images. I could feel the emotion in # 2. <b>Garry</b>- Congrats on the new rig. The water feature is my fave - very pleasing to my eye. <b>Markus</b>-Those 1st 2 are shots are awesome. Great eye! (and nice "butt" by the way) ;). <b>OShiva</b>- I'm a sucker for angles... I could stare at your glass shot all morning (EST of course). <b>Dave</b>- Cool shadow shots. You really found some stunning images "in between the lines"... <p> Here's my first foray into the nighttime insect world. This was captured at f/5.6 30 sec. ISO 100 with my 50-200. Oh yeah, 11 year cicada(sp?) that seems to emerge every year at this time. <P> <img src = "http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/7608838-md.jpg"> <P><b> Emergence</b> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob-c Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Well, as is usually the case on Sunday mornings, I look at the selection and wonder whether I should post anything this week. What great shots. Maria's red shot, O Shiva's macro, Javier's wave, what can I say, just great shooting. Like Dave, I didn't get a chance to do much this week but here are three. BTW, although when I signed up for this forum I used my formal name, everyone calls be Bob.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david richhart Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Such beautiful photographs, I hate to pick a favorite. My own contribution is a real corker. <p> I have a part time job working for a company that sells political promotional items. Buttons, bumper stickers, T shirts, that sort of thing. We handle the Democratic party including the Obama account. If you order an official item from his website, we make it and ship it. I will be working at the convention in Denver at the end of August, and was advised that I should have a passport to ease my security clearances. Instead of paying for an ugly passport photo from someone else, I decided on an ugly self-portrait. <p> After a few hours of researching the requirements and playing with my *istD this is what I wound up with. BTW, if you need a picture for a passport, here is the information ... <A HREF="http://travel.state.gov/passport/guide/guide_2081.html">guidelines</A> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
