Thanks Trevor, I thought it was Steve but now it will bug me until I figure it out. I read an interview of a photog working for Nat Geo explaining a famous shot they got of a girl in a small village. The photog explained that the people were a little fearful of him and his gear so he took off...

I don't know about that Michael, I'll bet they would love to have you take there portrait. These are great tips, thanks. The only thing I can add from my time shooting events and social functions is to let your acclimate to the conditions. If your lens fogs it will tough to get the shot. The...

I just got a pair at my local TJ Maxx for $16.99. They only had one of my size or I would have bought more. If you have a Maxx local it's always worth a shot.

One heck of a stress reliever too! Joe, did you have problems with your hands-knuckles? From years of wrenching and playing giutar I already get soreness and wouldn't want to hasten arthritis. That does look like a great, quick and effective workout.

I was having a similar problem, not living badly but also not losing weight and in fact gaining. How is your sleep, moods, energy level? I am asking because mine were lousy so I went to the Dr and found out my thyroid was under producing pretty bad. So I started taking synthroid and the sleep...

Yeah, with the amount of commercial fishing in coastal NC we've got a lot of names for them. Get em in green that go almost to your knee and they are "Wellies" which most ExPo people can recognize, especially the Land Rover fans. I think you have to had cut your foot on an oyster bed to really...

Would those be the same as "Cajun Wedding Shoes" or "Sneads Ferry Formal Wear" ??? (white shrimper boots)

oops! I guess I had the motordrive on.

Saw a sad sight yesturday I went to my local camera store to see if they might have any used rangefinders and to look at a new lens for my D70s. No luck on the rangefinder and I was kind of sad to see all the used 35mm SLR's and lenses where just heaped onto a shelf with no order or care. Have...

That one comes with the 50mm so it's part of the kit, I plan to get a 35 or maybe a 28 as I loved the 28 I used to have on a Nikon FM that I used for group/candid shots when I did event photography back in the film days. I also spotted a Leica IIIf RD with a 50 elmar yesturday in 8+ condition...

Thanks, it seems the Bessa-R has a very bright and well sorted viewfinder from what I'm reading and it seems I'd have to get a M4 or above to have the clarity which adds a lot to the cost. I'd rather spend the money on lenses.

Anything??? Do I need to post more pics? From looking at some sites I see the Bessa-R is kind of a starter RF due to price and (to a lesser extent) build. It uses the old 39mm screw mount for lenses-will that be too confining? What would be a good price? The place selling this is asking $499...

I think we need to synch The Doors "Riders On The Storm" to this thread! You can add "pictures of pizza boxes" Pat, that just makes me hungry!:coffeedrink: I looked though you gallery yesturday-nice work! I'll bet the shallow water fishing is pretty dang good there, I need to escape with my...

I've found a used Voightlander Bessa-R with a 50 f1.5 for sale. I got some pictures of the camera from the shop today, they are asking $499 for the kit which I am guessing is a little high but how much? If I offered $450 for this kit would it be a good buy?

Cool and spooky shot Brad! Please do becareful with those lightning shots Pat, Fla is on top of the lightning strike count after all. If memory serves you should be able to plan you day around photo ops-about 3-3:30 pm the storm will arrive and take about 20min to pass over. I used to work in...

Nice Shots Pat, your right that FEMA pier has no character at all! It's good to see some of the real Florida still exists.

Good buy!

Is the issue not getting good prints from your digi shots? I've found the same problem and had to try a few developer sources to find one I liked. I find the with my digital cameras I never get the pictures developed-they just get loaded into my macbook and there they stay. I don't know why...

That is a great idea Trevor, it's always good to try first. Now I just have to find someone I know that has one and is willing to loan it out....

Trevor, I have messed about with an old Cannon that my sister gave me-a Cannonet 28 which appears to be in the small RF's of the 70's category. That camera needs new sealing so right now it's not in use at all. I did have a chance to look at some RF's at B&H last year in NYC. The quality of...
