Cute expression!

Haven't been around as much lately as I continue chemo and radiation treatments, but as I finished radiation and I'm trough the halfway point in the chemo treatment I got myself a little gift and managed to take some pics of it. Next, a nice trip to the range and set up some zombie targets. LOL!

Well, I hope it's therapeutic for you, kps. Great shots, too.

Slick work, kps. That metal really gleams. I think my favourite is the middle one - best composition IMO.

Spent some time showing my wife's sister Toronto - among other spots, paid a visit to the Don Valley Brickworks. Brilliant sunny day but pretty chilly too. Guess it's that awkward time when the blood feels still a bit too thin for the cold gusts. Lining up for tasty crepes and burritos was a decidedly frigid affair. Bit of a wind tunnel effect going on.

Still, a brilliant place to shoot. Will post some more of the kilns, later. My favourite part of the place. Note to fellow COTU folk: don't go shopping there for inexpensive produce - it's outrageous. Most of the stuff there is insane, for that matter. Very yuppy, but a nice place to grab candids. Great old buildings, too. I've been here many times in the past, before it's recent makeover/gentrification. I miss the old spirit of the place but it's also nice to see people discover an integral part of Toronto's history.

Wow kps, so glad to hear things are moving along good with you. My youngest (37) is undergoing chemo right now for kidney cancer and it's tough, but like you, he's a fighter. Nice gift to yourself there. Nuttin' like a .357 Magnum revolver is there? Put one of those babies clean through the block of a 49 Ford into the cylinder chamber in a garbage dump way back when we could shoot pretty much where we wanted. Had an S & W nine shot .22 LR revolver too and it was my favourite plinking' pistol in the late 50s. Reminds me of good times when life was so much simpler. Thanks for sharing and good luck with the rest of your treatments.

Kazak, with your sense of humour, I'd likely enjoyed that pun. lol

Max, Looks like a great outing to the Valley Brick. Cool place but I haven't been since they opened it.

SINC , sorry to hear about your youngest, wish him my best, I know we'll fight through it.

Nothing too special.. :)

One of those little bugs which curls up into itself, forming a protective outer shell? Very cool, in any case.

A snail's shell as far as I could tell. Looked empty.

Destruction in the distillery district in advance of the Pan Am games - this building was where they produced Relic Hunter and countless movies of the week. I remember going to a job interview there a decade ago - didn't get the show but I did finally get to work with the art director of that production, just last year. As we were avidly snapping away, we ran into a gentle old codger out on a stroll - said he lived in one of the condo complexes you see in the BG. He demolition is to pave the way for a staging/welcoming area for the athletes, who will be housed further south. Nice to see an old, often gritty part of town get some fresh action. Kudos to my wife for spotting the opportunity as we whizzed by on Eastern.

Yeah, it's mildly post-apocalyptic... but we dig that sorta stuff.

Good luck on the treatments! Thoughts go out to you!

Great portraits of the new Zombie killer, kps. Do you need silver bullets, or is that just for werewolves? Glad you're feeling well enough to get a bang out of it!

Nice shots of the Badlands! That place is cool. Small... but cool!

Yeah... there's at least two patches, actually. This one is from Cheltenham but not far away, in Terracotta, there's another patch. Hadn't been there in over twenty years but that post from the other thread put me onto revisiting it. Very cool and sinewy bits of earth. Strange as hell. Purdy country over there.

Back to east-end 'tranna: Thanksgiving feast table, last Sunday.

Was impressed with the sharpness as I used the Olys built in digital zoom. Something I almost never do as earlier cameras gave such poor results when using digital zoom.

Actually quite impressive for digital zoom... What zoom ratio was it?

Yeah, very nice for a digital zoom indeed.

Couple from this afternoon: furniture shopping on King St. and a lovely old GM coach, parked over off of Berkeley St, near King.

Great stuff Max... too bad about the dude in the bus shot, would love to have seen it just as an archetypal shot. Still great though.

Actually quite impressive for digital zoom... What zoom ratio was it?

Optical range is equivalent to 28mm to 100mm. The digital zoom seems to be roughly 2.2 to 2.4 times beyond that. Does not show in the EXIF so I am not 100% certain as to the exact ratio.

FWIW with this camera I always use 2MP images as everything higher seems to be interpolated and if I need a bigger image interpolating up in PhotoShop seems to produce about the same result as shooting at a higher resolution. Not sure whether or not the lower resolution setting relates to the good digital zoom results. However on the very rare occasions I have resorted to the digital zoom I have not been disappointed.

Thanks Screature... the ragged old dude just happened around the corner just as I was preparing to clinch the shot. I shrugged and went on with it. I went up to him and said "cool old bus" and he agreed, saying that he "hadn't even been in it yet." Then he proceeded to peel open the door and clamber up inside. Gave me the funniest feeling. The bus is parked solidly - notice the chocks by the wheels. Not as if it's going anywhere. Really had me wondering what the fellow was up to. For all I know however, he had just bought it.

Agree though. Would have been nicer had he not been there. Here's another shot, taken from the other side. Pity the traffic cone, but whaddayagonnado.

Max... Can I make a request? Please do a B&W con on this shot... I would love to see it. In B&W it might just work despite the traffic cones.

Sure thing. I think it's better in b&w... I like the vivid fall foliage but the bothersome traffic cones are somewhat neutralized.

kps... sorry I didn't comment earlier but it just came to me...

The way I interpret your photos based on your situation of fighting cancer is that these photos are symbolic of your fight against the dreaded C. They are actually gorgeous shots that some may not understand because of their subject matter....

If I may be so presumptuous as to say that I think I get it and I congratulate your bravery on a couple of fronts...

I wish you all the best in your battle... KILL THAT CANCER... shoot it dead!

I did change much of my outlook on many things since diagnosed with cancer. I've been a firearms owner for many years but kept my ownership of "restricteds" mostly under wraps from people as most just "don't get it" when it comes to certain firearms. However, I did let my newest aquisition out of the bag and yes, that symbolism exists there for me also. I had great fun with it at the range although no zombie targets to represent the big C.

Just use your imagination out on the range, kps. You'll find zombies if you need 'em. Stay the course, man.

Yup, and I'll use my Zombie Max ammo (http://www.hornady.com/in-the-news/latest-news/zombie-max-ammunition) to deal with the pests.

I think this page needs more pics...

Beautiful work kps... I think #2 is my favourite... at least for now.

Thanks screature.

Love the Zombie Max ammo. Holy Dawn Of the Dead, Batman!

That Wonder Nine is pretty righteous. The laser site is a bit off, aesthetically - but I'm sure it augments the gun quite well on a functional level. Like Screature, I favour #2. The thing is, that texture underneath is, I find, a bit distracting. It's like it wants to moire in a heartbeat and it competes with the crisp texture of the gun grip. Which is why number two works best for me - it's more about the gun.

Change of pace. Funky orthodox Ukrainian church we spotted on our way back from the Cheltenham badlands last weekend.

Great shot, very much in the eastern tradition that church, never knew it existed.

Yeah, the background place matt is busy especially in the 3rd short...almost matches the grips. LOL

It's really quite a magnificent structure, in its own gnarly, dried-out way. Not sure if I like the desiccated, spartan look of the wood, but maybe it's something you can get used to. But it's a large and imposing edifice and it really stands out against the horizon. Here's another view of it. Creat combination of curves and angles.

http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6108/6248938282_f919a552d2.jpg

No really a great shot, I just find it kind of amusing.

Max, I really like that bus shot, and yes, I think it's better in B&W too.

Very funny kps. And when you run out of ammo?

NIce! Bet that one would benefit from a conversion to black and white too, KC4. Although in colour it has that nostalgic sepia warmth.

Great shot KC, the ultra low angle makes it for me.

As far as this whole Zombie Apocalypse thing...when large corporations start getting in on the act, you just know it has "jumped the shark". LOL

...and as far as running out of ammo is concerned...by that time, all the zombies will be dead...ummmm...gone...ummm...destroyed.

So a few months ago I was in this thread on my iPhone and I saw a pic someone posted (I think from Ontario somewhere?) that looked really similar to one I had taken here in NS. I then forgot about it and now I can't find that post in this huge thread.

It was a photo of a field, and half of it was green and the other half was ground.

Anyone remember posting a photo that kinda looks like this?

Here's a link to my photo:

Nice field all the same - glad to see it again. Great colour and composition.

Speaking of fields, saw some great vistas yesterday. Captured them with my Panasonic, not my iPhone (but I do have some recent iPhone experiments I should develop). This trio is from Melancthon Township and are located a few miles from Shelburne, Ontario, about an hour and a half drive north-west of Toronto. - the last being in a steady, icy rain which turned into bitterly pelting hail a few short minutes later.

Captured this on the other day, Saanich Penisular, Vancouver Island, BC.

All these fields remind me of the wide open spaces of Saskatchewan with canola (top) and flax fields contrasting one another.

Well, I checked my nocturnal iPhone pix. They were crap. Crap!

Instead, here's a sampling from the last few days... an Orwellian office building beside the 427 in Etobicoke, an alleyway sighting in the King and Sherbourne area, and a couple from last weekend's Foodstock up in Melanchthon Township - a culinary fundraiser to stop a massive quarry development.

I think I like number 4 the best just because of the contrast... if number 1 had more contrast it would be my favourite...

Hmmm, good point. It is a bit grey all over, innit? I seem to do that a lot. Perhaps a tad to do with my natural disposition.

Will look into changing that one up - thanks for the suggestion, Screature.

I've always hosted my shots in this thread on MobileMe, but that will be gone soon. iCloud is useless for such things, so, any suggestions appreciated as to where one should one go for hosting that works easily for my pics.

I'll second that. It also gives you the advantage of having all the photos sync to all computers you have setup with dropbox (multiple backups), plus be easily available in iOS through their free app.

Thought of that already and if I use it on my site, it's fine, but I have to figure out a way to keep my pics private when using RapidWeaver. Not able to work that out yet. :confused:

Not sure I understand?????:confused:

How does Rapidweaver fit into hosting pics you want to show on ehMac? To post here just link to the image on your server.

For a little more security, what I do is turn off indexing and hot linking at the server level for the directory in question. I then allow hot linking to sites I want to post the images in. Such as ehMac.

My only access to my site I know how to use is through RapidWeaver. To set up a file folder to carry those pics that is unavailable to anyone visiting mybirdie outsie of RW is what stumps me. I guess I will have to ask Hostgator how it can be done.

Log into Cpanel through your browser and create a directory(folder) at the root of your public html directory to hold your pics. The path will likely be something like this :

w w w.mybirdie.com/pics/

you could make it more detailed like this: w w w.mybirdie.com/pics/ehmac/2011

or whatever...

You can use cPanel for all or use an FTP app such as Transmit to do this.

Post a new help thread or PM me if Hostgator support doesn't help to your satisfaction.

Also, remember to turn off indexes and hot linking. Those options will be clearly available in cPanel.

Just make sure that the sites you want to hot link to, such as emac are in the approved list.

Nice ones Max.

Love to know the story behind that chair...

Who knows. I found it on what was little more than a dirt track that serviced a bunch of cottages strung around one lake somewhere between Maberly and Westport. Stopped the car and walked through the scrub to get a closer look, then noticed some broken-down outbuildings lurking behind the bus and realized the place may actually still be someone's home. Probably no one was home at the time if so, but I didn't want to come off like a nosy shutterbug tourist... I grabbed off a couple of quick shots then jumped back in and continued down the road. Reminded me of that great film, Into the Wild, where the young man runs away from his old life to a bold new one in the wilderness of Alaska, only to die of starvation in a clapped-out school bus.

Thanks Max. I've got quite a bit of this kind of stuff that I'm (slowly) scanning.

I also have a few packs left that I've been experimenting with lately. When it's gone, it's gone so I tend to limit my experimentation which I've found, can limit creativity.

Can't decide whether I like it better in colour or black and white, but I think the B & W. A solitary and dying art captured on a mid morning stroll. No back room, that is the store and workshop all in one.

Yup, they cost twice to three times as much as the regular ones, but the sound quality was much better.

Wow. Nice shot.
The shafts of light are called Crepuscular Rays and they look fantastic in pictures.
You sure have to be ready to capture them when they happen though and no guarantee you will be in a good spot like you were for this one.

KPS wow great shot, very moving considering the time of year!

Jim nice shot, I would recommend cropping out the visor mount though.

Thanks KC and DempsyMac.

Stormy drive - iPhone.

Haunting shot Jimbo. Although personally I would be inclined to crop the right side to lose the suction cup on the windshield and similar amount on the bottom to get rid of the dash board so that the aspect ratio remains relatively the same and lighten it up just a bit.

Still a great shot though.

I figured he may be off on vacation but I was flipping through this thread and noticed all of his photos were removed on November 6. If you look at Max's profile you'll also notice that his last day here was November 6. I really enjoyed Max's contributions. Anyone know what happened?:confused:

Yikes, would hate to see Max gone, but his website is still up.

Haven't heard from Max in a long time in any forum... I hope everything is Ok.

If he decided to wrap up ship as far as ehMac is concerned, I for one would miss him... we far from always agreed but I very much valued/appreciated/respected his opinion and input.

Max.. where art thou Max....

Max is ok, I think he's just taking a break from ehmac.

I've decided that one of the things the iPhone has trouble with is CFL lighting in the dark, semi-dark.

Thanks SoyMac and jawknee, I really like that one too, one of my favorite NYC shots. It's a little granulated from the zoom but I think it adds a little character to the shot.

This could be a Caption Me image. I won't write what came to mind.

Might upset some viewers.

Interesting shot. I'm glad Soymac pointed out the cranes. My first impression of what those shapes were (with the plane) was something of a military nature.

Here's a little something from a recent trip to the distillery district in downtown Toronto.

I just really liked how the front was sooo over exposed while the alley was properly exposed, and was inspired to make it look as if she was walking into the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel.

I had a lot of fun down there. If you're ever in the area you should definitely check it out! Lots to see.

I like the shot in b&w, not too fond of of the over exposure in the middle. However, photography is an art, and everyone see's things differently.

A winter bath - took this at long range ( for my camera ) and with the red berries has almost a rice paper drawing look - sparrows getting a freshen up on top of the hot tub. Was an awkward angle to shoot but the twigs framed them nicely and just a touch of sun on the ruff of one.

I have always struggled with birds. How do you get the darn things to sit still? I love birds and continue to try and get shots of them for my collection. Try as I might, they are always lacking in my mind. They moved, or the wind blew the branch or a leaf got in the way or whatever, but I keep trying. Here is a collection of those attempts.

And to be truthful, I cheated... he was pretty close to the ground. But they're pretty massive birds. Here's a shot of a crow giving one a hard time. The crow is positively dwarfed by the eagle, but that doesn't stop it from being a pest.

Edit: Thanks to phuviano for showing me the path to the BBCode, so to speak.

I apologise...I don't know if there's a way to directly link to Flickr within the forum.

Go to the photo's page, look for the envelope/facebook/twitter icon just above the photo. Click on the tab to right of it, it should be a tab that says "share". Once you left click that tab, at the bottom of the tab it should say "Grab the HTML/BBCode". Left click where it says this. select bbcode, if it isn't selected already. select your resolution. Copy all the lines in the window. Come back to ehmac, and paste the lines you copied from flickr.
