Dang you take some good pics.

Thanks. Yeah, they are ok...
I use to be into photography (film) slr, about 8 or 9 years ago.
I probably shot about 3,000++ rolls of film. (maybe more)

Maybe I could become a Audioholics personal photographer (just kidding)

Anyhow, great story.
Since I had went to the Indy race (about 4th or 5th race now).
I was thinking of a old friend. B. Brickhouse (yes he is related to the ex Nascar driver)
I was kind of a part time pit crew for B.B. in my mechanics years.
It was a SCCA Renault R17.
Anyways, I had not seen him in years.
So I did a web search on his name.
Ended up finding where he lives and # over the internet.
Spoke with his wife, he was out. So I am now waiting on a call from a old good friend...

I did the same for my mother once. Found a girlfriend of hers from 25 years ago.
Living in California and is doing some movie production work.
Got the name and #, and once again - old friends can catch up.

The web (although dangerous) can be a great thing.

EDIT:: For Matt's comment below...
well actually about 98% of them came out good.
A couple of underexposed images (because I failed to change the ISO)
(changeable ISO is a great thing )
The D50 kinda overexposes, so I usually will compensate for that.
I just figured since I was there for 9 hours, that I would go ahead and fill up the 2.5 gigabytes of memory.
And NO, I DID NOT- AND DO NOT Check the LCD screen after a shot. (well, 1 or 2 shots I did)
I also never use automatic mode.
Most time I will do full manual, and set my shots up the way I want them...
(if I had the money I would buy a D200 just for the ease of buttons for manual, it has no automatic mode)
But when in a hurry, I will do aperture priority mode. (sometimes shutter priority)
(pretty much the whole race I did that, except a few shots that were full manual).

Dang you take some good pics.

Well, you'd think out of 900 some odd pics he'd have a couple good ones.


















Just messing with ya Brian(just in case the smiley didn't give it away )

Thanks for the picture Brian. Damn she is HOT!

If you are speaking of this woman (new pic added).
That is Danica Patrick (Indy car driver).

The other is Jamie Little (sports announcer).

I am sure you fellows don't care...
But I took this one last night, it is a spider about the size of a common house-fly.
Or rather, his whole body would fit on a dime.

Holy CRAP!

That is a SWEET picture. You should take more of these, they're nice!

Here is a shot of him, before I put on the macro lens and bellows (and laid myself on the floor)
The WB was off, however I changed for correct color while I was on the floor.

Is that one of those Jumping spiders? I think I have seen one of those before.

Thanks for the picture Brian. Damn she is HOT!

I have more, if you want (including some behind photos), I could email them to you.

Sheep, nope I don't think so. Honestly I have no clue (or care) on what type it is.
I do macros for fun... (this is one of the lens I use HERE)
I have some moon shots as well, if you would like to see them.
BTW, all my pics are un-edited (no photoshop, no sharpening, no color change, etc..)
(just resized, so it is easier to DL)

Here is the moon & Oogy Boogy man

Buck (Todd), you must have deleted your post. You had wanted me to post a pic of a flower or grass.
I sent you the originals to your email (check it), here they are downsized.
I took these a week or 2 ago.

 

[brian32672]

I was not sure if I posted a pic of my dog, I did not see one.
So here is one, on the new camera (D200).

For those looking to get into dSLR, the D200 is not all that, but is all that in some ways..
If you are just starting out, then my recommendation would be a D50.

I have had now 4 digital cameras (lots of film SLR cameras), of the 4 digitals, I had the D50, the D70s, and now the D200.

Ahhhhhh....

Brian, you are a FINE photog!

Keep up the good work.

Thanks Robert.



Here is another of the moon...
Also, here is the current (quickly) setup - Since the move...
(nothing is really set-up, and I will transfer these pics to member system, as soon as it is)
I still have to unpack a lot of stuff, including the movies cars/items (out of their boxes)
This is the 96" screen. I still have to go back to the condo - to pick up the 120" screen.



Da MN

Photoshop'd the moon into this one..

No moon...
