Just remember that balloons are controlled by the weather.
When the weather co-operates its quite beautiful.


If you get the chance to go up in one of the balloons do it. We did and while we were up the "box" quit working and we kept going and going and going. Finally made it down in a freshly fertilized field. It was natural fertilization and boy did it stink. The pilot had to work us over to the road. Had he let the balloon down in the field they would have had to get a crane to get it out. I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

I feel sorry for the 3 children of Shelley Dufresne. They didn't have anything to do with any of this.

I'm sorry to say that my old brain only works at 1/2 speed now. Add terminology that I don't know and then there are the accruements.

They dropped a package of prints (wedding prints) in the driveway at the street. :-(

I almost ran over them before I saw them - whew!

When I was visiting my son who lives in Nevada I found a canned chili that I like. When I got home (Louisiana) I couldn't find in any stores around here. So I got him to send me some using the post office box that doesn't go by weight. Hubby then left for his afternoon run and this is what happened. Thankfully he stopped and looked when he felt something strange.

If you shoot 99% auto settings then it is more camera then you need.


Well I got more camera than I need. I guess I had better start experimenting, but I planned to learn what to do with the auto then try manual.

Just purchased a canon rebel t5i (included ase 2 lenses 2 rechargeable batteries n charger) @ Costco ...price included $300 instant rebate...final cost approx $ 980 (includ tax n $79 extended protection plan)
I am not an expert photographer. ?
?.......... 99 times out of 100 use auto settings.... is this the camera 4 me.? Was it a good price?
Thanks


I bought a t5i from Amazon for about the same price back in May. We left for a 2 month trip at the end of May. I didn't have a clue as to what I was doing, still don't compared to most of these guys. I love the pictures I got on the trip. Hubby insisted I do a book on Shutterfly with some of the pictures I took. All I've learn how to do is crop and straighten the angles of the pictures, in the beginning I had trouble keeping the camera straight. Well when the book came I was really surprised how good the pictures look. Have fun.

Thank you all for your advice. She does have a new puppy so maybe I need to find out where the dog park is. My son, her dad, has a big chocolate lab so I'll have to bring him, too. We have several parks not far from their house and thought we could go there. I plan to tell her what and why I want to take so many pictures. Next week I'll be with her after school and Friday there is no school so I'll be with her all day. Too bad I won't have her this Friday as there is no school and the Fair will be going on. If she was going to be with her dad this week there wouldn't be a problem, but she is with her mother this week. A couple of years ago her dad rented a pony for her birthday party. She didn't know anything about it and she loves horses. I knew the man was walking the pony to the back yard so I positioned myself to get a picture of her when she saw the pony. All I got was a blurry picture. She took off running so fast. Everything was in focus except her. That was with my little point and shoot, but now I have a Canon Rebel T5i hopefully I'll be able to do better. Thanks again.

I'm new to taking pictures, but I did get what I considered some good pictures on our vacation. At hubby's insistence I put together a book on Shutterfly. When it arrived I was surprised at how well the pictures look. I'm sure you guys could have done better. Anyway I've decided to get a bunch of pictures of my granddaughter and hope to get some good enough to put together a book with her help. It will be her Christmas present to her dad. Can anyone share some tips. I'd like to get some candid shots and some posed ones too. My granddaughter is 9 yrs. old.

Thanks for any help you can give.

What was your point?


My point was that you can't judge a person by what he looks like.

I recently did an album about our 2 month vacation this year. You are right about it being a lot more work than just taking the pictures. I did mine I put some writing then sent it to my husband to proof read what I had put. He suggested some changes which I liked. I enjoyed doing it, just wish I had put more pages. I left some good pictures off.

I finally said, "Ok, I've had enough of this, you little witch. You shut up and leave or this could get ugly. Who the hell do you think you are coming in here and attacking me when you aren't even handicapped? And who in their right mind at just 5 feet tall goes off on a 6 foot 2 inch 300 pound biker without even speaking in a civilized manner first? If I wasn't a calm person who can endure your mouth I could have split your f*ck*n head open with my helmet and knocked you out cold a long time ago. Get to hell out of my face."

Only then did she realize the potentially hazardous blunder of her actions, and started to head toward the front door but still rotated around at the waist so she was facing me and kept snapping that her now deceased husband was handicapped and they experienced handicap parking spot hogs like me many times and blah, blah, blah... still yacking as she went out the glass doors and left.

This person somehow lost all common sense for some reason, and felt empowered to do and say whatever she wanted, to anybody she wanted, because the subject matter was defending the rights of handicaps. She had stepped outside of reality while on a mission to throw herself in front of a bus over nothing of importance.

A few years ago my husband and I went to a chili cook off . As we were going in I noticed a bunch of motorcycles all parked together. Hubby and I went walking around and we got behind this skuzzy looking guy. He had long stringy hair and was dressed like he belonged on one of those motorcycles. Then he turned around and said "Hi Mom."

4. I was at a nude bodypainting event in nyc central park back in august (photographer not participant!). In a public spot, a big crowd. Lots of folks with cameras, including a few creepy looking ones. at one point a female model (totally naked except for paint) lets loose on a creepy one, about how she won't let him objectify her body and that she does not give her permission for him to take her picture (hes was getting some real close up shots). he backed off but hung around. a second woman lets loose on him as well.

a public event, folks getting naked on purpose..and i still felt their privacy was being violated in the way their photos were being taken.

I bring this point up to show that even in this extreme case, moderation is needed.

Imho if you are without clothing in a public place they sure aren't worried about privacy. Cover up anything you want to keep private.

I will admit that I haven't read all of the posts yet. My husband drives a school bus and in fact we own the bus, but every bus has a camera in them. Most of the drivers like to have the cameras in the buses because it protects them from any of the kids making up stories. In addition it keeps the kids straight. Last year one of the kids on my husbands bus cut one of the seats. When he called the parents the mother said oh my son wouldn't do that. That is when he invited her to come to the transportation office and look at what the camera caught her son doing. She immediately agreed to pay to have the seat fixed. We didn't have to have the camera put in the school board paid for and arranged for it to be put in.

Quite a few years ago we went to Disney World again. I think it was the 3rd time we went. The boys were old enough to have each a camera, I had 2 cameras one movie and one still and hubby had a 35 mm. We would all start out with our cameras and all but hubby's would end up with mom. I knew hubby was taking a lot of pictures, but I didn't pay attention to what he was taking. As he finished a roll he would give it to me and I'd mail them off to be processed. When we got back home we had a lot of pictures waiting for us. The man took almost 200 pictures of the castle in every imaginable way. With all those cameras when we went to a luau and they dressed him up in a hula skirt all of the cameras were in the camper. UUGH!!
