Hey! I wanted to look at your photos and every time I click on one it goes to a flickr page saying "this page is private". What's up with that?

yeah, I need to go in and edit that... all the photos are held offline until I pay for flickr again, or someone gifts me with a gift pro membership again. ;) You can go to the direct link http://www.flickr.com/photos/samurai_cat[^] but only the most recent ones remain. Flickr hides the others until I pay again. :)

Kind of look like a Baldwin brother in that picture :) I just want to know, how fast was that cat going in the other picture?

:laugh: People tell me I look like Dustin Hoffman a lot. I've also been told I look like the angel of death from touched by an angel but I've never seen it so I'll have to take their word for it. Once an older receptionist in an office where I came in to do a service call told me I looked like Dustin Hoffman from the Graduate and winked at me. That cat is Spuzzy, she was the nicest, mellowest kitten then she started getting this habit of chewing on electrical wires, she wrecked my speaker wires countless times to the point I started putting hot chili oil on them which stopped her, but ever since the wire chewing phase she's been freaky hyper. What you are seeing there is her second of two states, the other is comatose. She can go from comatose to lightspeed in a heartbeat.

I like the HDR shot in the cave. I liked the link to the original highest and lowest exposures, but I'm curious why the long exposure is still so dark. You say it's highly exposed, but I've experimented a bit with getting pictures inside hollow logs in the bush etc (not HDR, never tried that) and I'm guessing you could have gone a *lot* longer and got more from the black area at the far back of that cave. Is there a limit for hdr or did you want to keep the back of that cave black?

Well after viewing Vikram's post of their night out. I got to wondering what do the rest of these CPians look like. So I want to know if yall have any videos or pictures that you don't mind sharing with your CP family. Here is what I have to share with yall. YouTube.com[^] By day I am a computer nerd and by night(actually I never stop being this) I am the youth director, along with my wife, at our church. The video remix is of our youth trip last year. It is all pictures because someone(me) forgot to grab the video camera before we left. I am not in many of the pictures but you can catch me in a couple with a red shirt and black hat. Well will be interesting to see some of yall in videos or pictures.
God Bless, Jason

You might have to login to the site to see it, but I'm at the beginning of this video. http://www.kvue.com/video/fitness-index.html?nvid=169180[^] I really don't like the "weight bar" that the reporter built, I think straight sandbags are much better and more versatile for a home workout. The watermelon is cheesy too, but other then that, it's not too bad.

Very cool Andy, I too get excercise with a wheelbarrow but it's packing gravel to the trails we're building in the back of the property not primarily for excercise but I've sure noticed the effects of doing this for a few weeks now. The newscaster at the beginning talks like he just got his wisdom teeth removed or something. And what's that sound at the beginning when your describing the ab rollers you made, it sounds like a rattlesnake just off camera. :)

That's a very familiar looking stretch of scenery, isn't that part of an F1 course?

Might be. Honestly, I don't know. It was at the border between Italy and France, right on the Mediterranean, just a few kilometres up the road from Monaco so it might have been.

hehehe, yes, actually there is.... It seems my instructor and I shared the same camera model for the class on digital photography, and we both brought the remote control (RF) control for the camera so we could take long exposure. Since they both ran on the same frequency, and in a cavern were always close enough that they interfered with each other, I pocketed the remote and ran completely by the shutter button. A D70 via the shutter button had a maximum exposure of 30 seconds. I could adjust the Fstop, to wider aperature, but then I loose depth of field... so it was a careful balance of getting what I needed out of the tools at hand (not in pocket). ;) All in all I did pretty well for giving up the remote. And no, I couldn't go off his signal, because many of the exposures his triggered the big flash, mine triggered my flash, and thus the problems. I switched to manual and I could still operate for what I needed to do. But the class had to have the big flashes at a different sequence. One of these days I want to revisit a couple of places, I want a private tour of Slaughter canyon cave and lower cave, which is pretty easy, you arrange it and pay for the ranger's pay 100% for the time and travel, plus a bit of overhead. Cheap actually when I heard the cost. Some day.

Yeah I find no matter how hard I try with a picture I always want to go back and have a redo down the road. I guess because you learn so much more every time you go out.

I've noticed that it does that sometimes, all I can say is that it usually clears up after a few minutes.

It is so easy to do. Just take measurements and you can get the wood cut for you at Home Depot. Then all you need is a drill.

Yeah, you can't really see too much of it from the video, but I got the wheelbarrow to build a sandstone patio and path, though it looks like it is a little smaller scale then then one you are building. Loading it up with weight and running a few sprints with it will get you tired out pretty quick though.
