Are you trying to tell me to stand in the middle of the road and stay there for 15 seconds to catch the headlights, and then roll over to catch the tail lights.

Thanks a bunch for your support.

[Darksheare]

My parents always told me to play in the road.

Until they watched me walk towards said road with a hammer in hand.

All this photography talk has me sitting here with the instruction book and hubby's digital camera, figuring out what's what.

Sounds to me like you either need a suit of armor or more life insurance. Who ever dreamed photography could be such dangerous business...lol ;-)

[Darksheare]

Well.. in the early days of flash photography.. if you screwed up with the flash powder, you blew yourself up.

[habs4ever]

That sounds sorta tempting for a guy like you ;-)

[habs4ever]

And i thought you were just going to go out and get some cheap oil floating in the Atlantic.You live dangerously, ACe.Don't let bad Grannie goad you into being reckless;it isn't worth it just to garner her affection ;-)

[Darksheare]

True, true. But chasing the neighbors and scaring the real ghosts is more my forte, not blowing myself up while taking a picture.

If you have broadband, you can go to bmwfilms.com and see a film short (8 minutes 38seconds or so.) called "Beat the Devil". It's funny, and sounds like something I'd say.

A pic Habs sent me..

Thank you Habs.

Wonder what the look on those guys faces are/is while they're watching the dolphins outsurf them?

[acnielsen guy]

I know habs she is a femme fatale - but the fatale thing is for me suspect.

[acnielsen guy]

I suspect

[grannie9]

Oh, how odd Dog.. Our Bluejays are meat eaters I think.. They do steal a seed now and then out of the feeders.. Wow.. you have me thinking now.. I'm befuddled.. lol

I hate to be befuddled.. must be the nap. ;)

[grannie9]

Kathy honey.. keep it up. We will see more pics from you.. I"ll post them if you like..

[grannie9]

AC... be nice.. I meant to take the pics from your window, not in the traffic....

Come to think of it... erase that.. ;)

[grannie9]

That's a nice pic habs... What a sight that must have been.. Dolphins are lovely people..

They don't cause trouble on the threads.. keep a civil tongue in their mouth.. not insulting to old ladies..

Come to think of it.. they are probably too good for me.. ;)

[Kathleen]

Thanks for the encouragement, Gran. I've been so hesitant...the last time I seriously took pics, it was back in the days of the SLR. :-0)

I'll play around some this weekend, and promise not to make a PITA out of myself. ;-)

[Darksheare]

Don't worry, the digital cam won't hurt you.
It might make you wonder how often you've been photo'g without your knowledge..
Or just what you could photog without the subject knowing...
Or any number of evil, wicked things.

But I, I will be the voice of innocence and point out that a good digital came with a standard SLR mount can be hooked up to a telescope and used for stellar photography.

[grannie9]

You have the best thing in the world to play with.. Practice and erase and make sure you charge once in a while.. They're fantastic machines..

You can erase all your mistakes and start again.. Go for it.. We need some new perspective around here..

[grannie9]

When you get used to it, then you can get some software and really go crazy.. lol

[grannie9]

Hi Darks.. Are you still bouncing off the walls, and singing your Torie Amos songs? LOL.. if you ever sound half normal.. I"ll know I"m all ate up.. ;)
