Movie Clips That Have Made You Flinch
by Clam indear all,.
there's not much that makes me wince, not at the movies anyway, but those things that have, have inevitably stayed in the memory.. i saw it a long time ago at the cinema, but the reservoir dogs scene where michael madsen cuts a policeman's ear off to the track stuck in the middle with you, was one such scene.
certainly couldn't watch it again.

Just posting a few pics here - I hope you don't mind!
by tim hooper ini'm a bit of a newbie here i suppose, but i've been fascinated by the photo threads that pop up now and then - notably leo's, purps and sparks.
so i thought i'd do my bit for posterity and bring you some pics from the uk that i've taken over the last few years, if that's all right with you that is!.
although i'm fully digital these days, my early work was film-based so, as a result of that training i tend to just use photoshop in the same way that i used to use my darkroom - ie.

OK, how about a few people shots?
Although I've thousands of wedding and portrait shots squirreled away on negatives, I've only got a few by digital capture I'm sorry to say, and those are mostly of my own family. But, if you'll forgive the self-indulgence.....
This couple stood in the rain and smiled bravely for the camera - bless 'em!
My daughter, Melanie, with my grandson, Ryan.
Tania on the day she wed my nephew, Simon.
Tania & Simon
The late Susan Cullen in her role as Carmen.
Harking back to that self-indulgence I mentioned, surely the pinnacle is the self-portrait?
Either just peer at the lens and look all grumpy......
.......or point the camera at a convenient mirror and hope for the best!

Brookie,
Beautiful arrangements there!
You could do with getting a decent set of pics together for a catalogue.

break time for me
by purplesofa ini am going to try to live without needing the board so much for awhile.
the only reason i am saying anything is that i am horrible at sending pm's, emails, etc.
and i dont want people to wonder in the back of their mind where i am, if all is ok.. i am tired all the time and i just want to see what my life can be like not in constant thought about the jw world running through my brain.. i will wonder how everyone is doing and would welcome emails.

I'm going to push my luck here and try for a few more!
Being a simpleton, I really tend to notice recurring patterns and convergences, so without further ado.......

Pointless, pyrrhic and about 8 minutes too long.
Brenda is pretty though....

Leo,
No secrets about the camera I use these days!
I bought in to the Canon EOS system a decade ago when I still used film. A couple of years ago I switched to digital, so it made sense to stay with canon as I already had a small selection of lenses which I could continue to use.
The body is the ubiquitous EOS 350D (aka REBEL XS in the US, I think). The only adjustment I've had to mentally make is the well-known issue od the apparent focal length of the lenses caused by the smaller size of the sensor, as compared with a 35mm negativer. This means that the length of all my lenses need to be multiplied by a factor of 1.6.
To be honest, I don't think there's anything to choose between the big brands these days, so if you're in the market for a camera system I'd just thrash out the best deal I could and take whatever brand is most cost-effectrive.
Lenses;
28-105 Canon USM. This 10-year-old workhorse does around 80% of my shots, and is equivalent to a 44-170 on the digital body.
10-20 Sigma. You want wide? Then this is the baby to use!
90mm f2.8 Tamron. A beautiful lens for both serious macro and portraiture. A prime lens (not a zoom), and absolutely pin-sharp.
Vivitar 100-400 (160-640 equiv). This cheap and cheerful long telephoto serves as my mainstay at air displays. Small of aperture, not very sharp and disturbingly slow to focus, it really needs to be replaced with some newer glassware sometime soon. It does however serve in the some of the sunset shots I posted earlier.
I have polarisers for all the above.
OK, that's the geeky bit done! I'd like to post a few more later.

Thanks all!
I'm going to plod on for a little while if you don't mind too much.
There's a new exhibition hall at the nearby aviation museum here in the Midlands, and whilst the exhibits themselves are fascinating, I've been really struck by the potential of the enclosing hangar itself. So armed with a wide lens and a polariser, I took advantage of a bright blue sky, and picked out a few unusual angles.
