Hi guys...look I have internet How exciting! I have been having withdrawals. Mt laptop is way too difficult to contend with on a regular basis. I need to reload the OS on it and start over...

Anyway, Dave, I think it is a great idea and I would love to participate...I think there may be a restaurant here in the rural countryside where I now reside Our grill hasn't made it up here from Newnan yet, so I may have to try to get creative...

I am with Colin, though...it will need to be like once a week or something instead of daily for me.

well then why dont we do it as a 1 week assignment, i'm trying to get us all involved in producing interesting pics we want to see and various takes


hmmmm - seems like a bunch of us were already posting pics we thought were interesting - i guess not!

there are all sorts of pictures of the day groups out there - that's why we're here. dGrin has a good one going - might want to try it over there.

an occasional "project" wouldn't be too bad - but daily... or even weekly? Sorry I don't really have time to teach a schoolmarm that I'm not a good listener. That's why I always play hooky.

With DDawn's permission - i am posting her info over here just in case someone wants or needs this stuff before she puts it up on Craigslist. It's all like new and less than 6 or 8 months old as I understand it - mostly used once or twice.

---------
I have finally decided that I will not continue to photograph wildlife or landscapes at any real level that I need to hold on to some of my equipment. So it's time to unload whats not going to be used. And as you all know, this stuff is new and barely used. I will leave this post here for 3 days, if there is no interest in these items by then, I will be posting it to Craigslist and the Marketplace Sell thread here.

1.) Canon 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 L IS USM - $1,000.00 - $1,100.00

$1000.00 if committed to this within these 3 days I am listing it here. After that the price will be $1100.00. I used this lens to photograph the hummingbirds in my backyard, and then once to photograph the kite surfers at Tybee Island. I havent used this lens since and really dont plan on ever using it again. I took it to Tybee this week with me and never even took it out of the bag. I just have no need for this lens, especialy in my studio. =D This lens was purchased March 19th, 2008 with a UV filter which is included. I still have the box, carrying case, lens hood, lens cap, box, warrentee card, and users manual.

2.) Canon 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM - $300.00 - $350.00

Same goes, if you commit within the 3 days to this item, I will let you have it for the $300.00, after that it is a firm $350.00. Just an insitive to move these quickly. I actually only used this lens one time, remember my wasp photo, well thats it. I have extenstion tubes but will be keeping these because I like using them with my 70-200. Again this is in perfect condition. Purchased March 19th, 2008 with UV which is included. Comes with warrentee card, users manual, and box.

3.) LowPro PhotoTrekker AWII - $200.00 - $225.00

Seriously if I am not going to be out humping it through the woods, then honestly I have no need for a bag this big, this heavy duty, and water tight. This bag was used heavily one time and this was when I visited Cummberland Island. Its like everything else is in perfect conditions. It's complete, what more can I say. It held all of my stuff, with a small amount of room to spare.

If you are interested in any of these items please contact me. If you seriously need photos, just hit me up or come by. But I think most here know that I haven't been even shooting long enough for any of this stuff to have any wear and tear. But be assured, I baby my stuff.

You can private message me here, I get notification in my email that I received a message. Or you can just write me personally.

Atl, it looks like the day there was as nice as the day was here but I didn't get to go out and play with dogs.

Hey JU... war of the pups?

Weekly project would be ok with me...

I ordered a led loupe today. Also ordered another rocket blower as I seem to have misplaced one during the last few months. I probably need to look in Tracey's bag...You know how those Nikon folks are.








I may have snuck a 50mm sigma 1.4 in that order as well

What time were you there ...? I was there, too, today (about 11:30 or so) dropping off a body to get cleaned .... and you're right - Alan and his gang are some of the nicest people around .... I've never been in there that I wasn't treated like a long, lost relative ....

Hi guys.

Cool Schnauzer Dave. Yours? I like 2 and 5 the best. How is it coming learning PP software? What have you decided to try?

Stacy-I am glad that your camera is in good hands. Cecil has told me the virtues of Peachtree before. Funny that you were both there today!

Colin...what part of NC? You know I still consider that home.

We are learning our new surroundings. Last wekend, we took the kids to the Chattanooga Zoo. They are both really into zoos and zoo animals, so it was a fun trip. It was not the best place for photography, though, since most of the animals were behind wire fences or in large cages. The chimps had some glass windows, but they were filthy from spectator handprints. Next time, I think I'll take some Windex with me! It made it really tough to get any keepers...

Today, we went for a ride through the countryside. We saw a lot of barns with old-timey advertisements. Most everything I saw had terrible light, but this scene sort of caught my eye. I have very little experience with landscape photography and had to stand in a ditch and shoot through a fence lined with an electric fence Let me know what you think...

BTW...All of these pics were with my 18-200...It's a lot of fun for days like these

Those are all really nice Tracey! I like the b/w conversion best - it just works!

Here's a couple from Osh with my 100-400 - since its back from Canon, its really a super lens!

I think I got there around noon, or maybe noon-thirty. I was hard to miss! I had my twin boys with me, ack. They were trying to talk me into buying one of the old cameras there for sale .

I've just got my old Rebel out and put the 85mm lens on it. I have the 300D, the first Rebel model. It feels absolutely tiny compared to the 5D with the grip! I have to work at the biotech lab tonight and hope to get some good pics there

Its called the "wall of fire". They put out bundles of dynamite and gasoline about every 30 feet or so and set it off just as the bombers are about to fly over - or just after. Its pretty impressive and - since we were on the front line of the flightline and it was all the way over on the other side of the runway - it still is pretty hot from the blast.
