The New Photography Thread

“The comments about practicing squatting in the "How you know you are a backpacker" thread, made me think of an sign I saw in the Philippines, that made me think of odd signs, that made me think of this one.”

“Hey Pathman, what are you thinking? Does Pennsy's outfit sound good? Dang!! I'm debating........

So Pennsy, don't count me out here, yet. (Is Pathman breathing down my neck yet?? lol)

How's the baby?? CONGRATS!!”

“LOL Pathman! That's when I do an about face.

Lizs - You better hope Pathman isn't breathing down your neck, considering his line of work. ;-)

The 'baby' is resting. His father is restless. Refreshing the new battery 3 times (30+ hours) is killing me. How many times will I have the manual read before I get to shoot the darn thing? LOL!”

“Pennsy, OK, I may kick myself later (yeah,probably).... but I'm bowing out. You're offering a great deal!! Hmmmmm, but I just starting looking at reviews. Everyone -- everywhere it seems -- is giving the Canon G2 great reviews. It's around $700 (like I have the money ANYWAY!!! LOL, that is the big joke)

Anyway, thanks so much for the consideration, sir...... errrrr, DADDY!!! lol”

“Those are some fantastic pics!!!
I truly enjoyed them!

I'm not what you would call a photographer...but here are my pics from last years trips.
Webshots Photo Albums

I must say they pale by comparison to your wonderful work!
Keep 'em coming ...we want to see more!!!”

“No problem Lizs. I'm sure you'll take great pics no matter what you use, even if you do go to a C..... (as a Nikon devotee, I am allowed to say Canon - woops!!).

Btw - who has money anyway? I just have a very high credit limit. ;o)

Ok Pathman, the ball's in your hand. :-)”

“Horrors - I meant to say I am NOT allowed to say Canon. Forgive me Nikon gods.”

“Very nice pictures WW! I felt like I was actually out there. Beautiful scenery.”

“I like the sound of the package, and the coolpix is very popular with some very picky photographers I know. I need to work on my wife.

Pennsy, if you are under time pressure go ahead, get the best deal you can. If you aren't in a hurry, I'll think about it for a couple of days. Sure would be nice for our trip in June.”

“Pennsy? What's the deal? I was looking at that one at one time.

sierrariders@socal.rr.com”

“Woah-

Some pretty incredible albums here and lots of good ideas. This thread's a keeper.

Thanks for the link Wind Walker. Booked it.”

“Pathman - I am not under any time pressure. I'll still be broke whether I sell it today or next month. I relate it an ocean liner throwing a deck chair overboard to save weight. ;o)

Anywho, just let me know when you make your decision.

Snow Nymph - I'm at work without my regular email access so I'll drop you the details tonight.”

“Wow..... just read this review and I can't believe that Nikon just keeps on doing it, better and better every time. This is an amazing camera.”

“Hi Hobbit! I just bought a Cannon ELPH for my BPkg Trips. SO lightweight. I feel so dirty<<>><<>>!”

“I LOVE my ELPH Freedom. It's usually SOMEWHERE with me when I travel. Seldom as an only camera, but last month in Mazatlan I did force myself to leave the Nikon home and just took the ELPH. (It's a film version, not digital). I hope you enjoy yours a ton. Many happy snaps. Oh, and don't forget to share the results.”

“

It once was there...but now it's gone.”

“no guesses?”

“Mt Rogers?”

“I mean Mt Mitchell...i think...lol”

“ding ding ding....You are correct!!!

Is sad that it is gone now. I have fond memories from my childhood, and also from taking my kids there”

“I've been once. It was a cold day and it was FREEZING up there...when we got down, we bought hot chocolate at the little concession stand. Its a pretty cool place. Aren't they replacing the tower???”

“Yeah...it is supposed to be open in Spring or Summer...they didn't get as far along on it this summer as they had thought.”

“That is one ugly a$$ tower.”

“ok..cool...”

“And no cheating.

“I dunno, maybe Pike's Peak???”

“Nope not Pike's. It's closer to home.”

“Looks like I am getting a Nikon Coolpix 990 attached to a used microscope. Has anybody used one? Comments?”

“Where was it Zac?

So how do you use it Pathman?”

“I use the microscope to look at sections of pathology specimens, and use the camera to take photos through the scope for patient care conferences. The camera is popular for this use, I was wondering if any had used if for general photography. It got good reviews when it came out in 2000 or so. I'll find out next week when it arrives.
