    Hey, TOOTH....hope you had an awesome vacation.

    I'm ~not~ trying to cut-in line or anything...and yes, I am eager...what I'd like to politely say is that a ~lot~ can happen while waiting a ~week?~ for a reply from TessaHD...let's give her, like, I dunno, 30 seconds? lol.

    I'll do the Vulcan Mind-Meld thing on it and promise a 1 day turn-around once I get it.

    Copied here for the convenience of all:

    THE TOOTH ............<--has it
    TessaHD ................<--next
    (if address supplied in the next 30 seconds - lol)
    LOVEphotos ..............<--waiting patiently
    Mr. 2H2O ....................<--waiting patiently
    drcarl ...........................<--standing-by

    I am...(thanx, Mr)...like, I'm thinking...so the post offices close out there on Saturday? sheesh...but I won't say that because I do not pretend to even have a glimpse of what my be going on in your lives...I won't say that I could write a book before I get to see it...that might be misunderstood...I can't offer to help because well, what can I do?...I'll just keep checking here I guess.

    BTW - does anyone want to know anything about this camera? It is a fun toy to use while I wait for and dream of a D2X. I like what I am getting with the "S" burst mode and am wondering what I might pick-up at a garage sale the would generate an IR beam bigger than the mini-light the 828 has...

    It really is a fun toy.

    Thankful that I am alive (just escaped from 10 days in the the hospital for a "PE" - I beat the 50/50 odds....the Angel of Death left me behind)

    "Happy" Memorial Day is a contradiction, right?

    I'll be mailing my two NETFLIX tomorrow...


    Standing and sitting-by,

    Wow...looks like they got you
    drcarl,
    Looks like you got the works. You mentioned an illuminator - I made one that fits into my hot shoe and works pretty well. I had an event I was shooting with VERY low light and no noise from my camera (love that silent F717 shutter) and got some pretty good shots in nightshot mode with the illuminator. You can put one together for less than $100. If you are interested in details and handy with making stuff, you can pm me with your email and I'll show you how to do it.

    It's June!
    While waiting for The Book, I attended a birthday party yesterday. There were these rather large birds that seemed to have a thing for fish.

    I wish I didn't feel so clumsy with this 828...I know a DX2 will serve me better.

    The eBook has left the building!
    According to the nice man behind the counter at the USPS office, the eBook should arrive at Dr. Carl's abode near the sound on Monday.thumb.gif

    I'll have to find someone to pull my leg since you'll be occupied! :D

    thumb.gif Thank you Mr. 2H2O's!


    I was looking back through the thread, admittedly difficult when first awakening, and wonder if "TessaHD" ever resurfaced long enough to get to see the book. Anyone know?

    I'm looking at who's next...

    I imagine it this way:
    TessaHD - possible
    Andy - as he wishes (he started this)
    Standby - for any future posters on this thead
    At least the last option would give me something to do each day - lol.

    Hey, Dr. Carl - its funny the pic you attached - I just got done taking pics of the same type of lily in my back yard the other day...when I first saw your pic I wondered if I had sent you my set because it looks almost the same as one of the pics I took.

    Got It!
    The e-book (which may more like a e-treasure chest) arrrived ysterday.

    Wow. Thank you everyone in the chain.

    Mike: As I have been, I bet you have shot clamatis, wisteria, roses, poppies, St. John's wort, and anything else in your garden that has a potentially appealing look. Fun, huh? Have you tried to duplicate what a rose campion looks like? THAT's a challenge that I have not quite yet figured out...still working on it. (attached)

    I was looking at a site of a man in India; same shots. Viewed another portfolio from Russia; same shots. I was starting to feel 'typical.' Oh, well...I guess we are all seeing the same beauty and trying to capture it for sharing.

    I hope that Peter iNova continues in the book with the same writing style found on the insert. How could he not? What a pleasure.

    Just in reading the insert, I learned something profound. I have been making each correction step strive for the best possible look. Peter mentioned that sometimes a correct intermediate step may look like a photographic mistake on the way to the final image...interesting...

    It's time for me to read.

    Thank you all.

    Dr Carl.
