Here is a case of latency around 4 minutes.

That was quite impressive.  I really like the fact that other than various balls most of the components are photo equipment.  I am especially impressed by the various uses of whatever that tripod octopus clamp is called.  And I wonder what that one lens did to get the hammer...

However, I would call that latency more like 48 seconds (4 minutes/5 pictures at least)...

Aww, thank you Hon. Nana drama. One thing after another. Can't seem to get the little lady well. She was supposed to be released to the rehab center last night after her back surgery and pacemaker surgery, but now she has fluid in her lungs and is at high risk for pneumonia. When I'm not driving back and forth to see her, I'm hiding in the arms of the BF who has been nursing me after a small surgery of my own. But now at least I'm almost all better.

Aww. ):

Well, to say the least I'm happy you're doing better. And of course, I'll keep you and your family in my prayers.

In other news, I think I finally have my first 'flake' photographer...which kind of makes me unhappy cause 1. I totally woke up early when I could of been sleeping.
2. I kind of was looking forward to shoot.

I say kind of cause it was semi-last minute.
I called him three times this morning (left him a voicemail) and texted him once. His references say he's reliable and whatnot. Pfffttt. =/

He flaked out last minute or the shoot was last minute ?

The time wasting is the most annoying part.

I can almost remember one thing for which being elderly is seldom used as an excuse.

I am re-designing my website and will be taking stock photos for the main page of different kind of modeling photography (fitness, lifestyle, business). Never done stock photography before, so my question would be lighting wise if I am going to be outside. Should I use a reflector or use an Alien Bee?

Ok, guys and dolls,  I am thinking of upgrading my camera.  I realize this may be a question that shouldn't be asked in the thread, so I won't ask for any comments or discussion.  I would like your opinion though, so if you would, would you just say Canon, or Nikon.  It would help me a lot.  And if I am not supposed to do this here, I apologize

Oh, it will be a mid range purchase, not the high end stuff some of you guys use

This is an unanswerable question... the ones who shoot Canon are apt to say 'go Canon, Nikon sucks' and the ones who shoot Nikon are apt to say "Go Nikon, Canon sucks" so just go to a camera store, find some cameras that might fit your need from both brands and see how they feel in your hands.

It's like debating Ford vs Chevy in NASCAR...both go round the track pretty fast

and we'd all rather have a Bugatti

Sorry dude, this is a religious question.  And if you ask for my opinion you are almost never going to get a singular answer.  My suggestion: go with what you already have lenses for. 

Personally, I shoot Nikon for my SLR (in my opinion Nikon had the tech edge when I finally gave up on Minolta and thus had to start from scratch) but my daily carry camera is a Canon Powershot S90 (although I almost went Olympus for their TG/TOUGH line).

Bugatti is so last generation.  It is all about the Venom GT now...

Pentax K10.

Actually not true at all of reasonable people.. I shoot Canon, but know George shoots with Nikon so my suggestion would be to stay with Nikon. The reason being George, you're already accustom to the system and have lenses.. Nikon's a great camera, no need to go to another system.

If you want a current system, I'd go with the D7000. If you want to go used, I'd look at a D90 or possible a D200.  If I recall, you shoot with a D60, so, I'd probably look for a D90 on the used side, if you go that route, as it too is an SD card system..

So, that's my 2 cents from the resident Canon shooter...

I always welcome your opinion, I do want to get one with the HD video, don't ask me why, Just think it would be cool to play with.  I am thinking either the 3100 or the 5100 but not sure yet.

between those 2, D5100..  But I think you'll still have a better AF system with a D90 but the video will be better with the 5100...

I guess it's arguably a last minute shoot. Contacted him Monday, dates were finally discussed Tuesday, and he did say to confirm a shoot Wednesday. I guess the idea of confirming a shoot the day of it's sort of weird. Unless you're Scott here... (Sos)

Meh...
