For Wader's Eyes Only...

[Adrenalynn]

Friend of yours, Wader? Didn't know you made it out to California... Told you I think of you every time I go outside to vape!

[Can't fault more for playing with a new toy on a fairly clear day, right?]

 

[keyzygirl]

Sorry Lyn,I had to look.Sorry!

 

[Adrenalynn]

Darn. Now I have to kill you. I really hate having to kill people I like and all... Nothing personal!

 

[keyzygirl]

Just gimme one more chance after this one.I wont look again,promise!Cute squirrel though.

... I don't know... I'm gonna have to read you in to the non-disclosure and secrecy protocol. Get it approved. Real PITA.

Do you have a special projects clearance by chance? Probably expedite reading you in.

 

[wader2k]

YES!!I do!!

Glad it was a new camera Addy and not mass spectrometor or something! They don't take such nice pictures!

I'm as guilty as kezy, when someone tells me not to do something I usually do it . Cute lil rodents, my cats would have fun heh,heh.

 

[Adrenalynn]

Thanks!

And yours are always cuter, Wader.

I'd show you what a full-crop looks like from this camera, but it'd be less than his eyeball and not break the style-sheet on the forum...

Here's a quarter-crop of the first one. This thing puts down a LOT of nice rich 14bit pixels:

[For the photogs out there: That's the Tamron 200-500 @ 500mm, f/8, 1/400sec handheld, ISO 400, spot metered]

I am surprised we aren't seeing more of the little critters. This year we had a bumper crop of acorns!

Yeah, but then we'd get to see if they're really just furry-tailed rats (as Thor! contends) or not.

Thanks, Clover and Mark! Clover - that one would have been awesome if it were sharper. Kinda caught me off guard with it. I might try post-processing it a little...

Thanks, Mark! That's actually with comparatively really cheap glass too. The L-glass would sharpen and brighten it up a bunch, but I can't afford any L-glass that long. an L lens like that would cost $5000 or more... Here's the lens: Tamron SP AF200-500MM F/5-6.3 Di LD (IF) Review - photo.net

Thor! and the squirrels have quite the little game going. They bury my walnuts (I have two big English Walnut trees in the back yard), then Thor! digs them up, carries them back, and puts 'em next to the door. He stacks them up there so that if the squirrels want them, they have to come right up to the back slider, in clear leaping distance of the sofa. The foolhardy/dumb squirrels are no longer with us... The ones that are know very well that once Thor! digs up the nuts, they're gone for good...

even on the Tab

OOT: What do you think of the Galaxy tab? I've got a couple earlier Android tablets, but I'm anxiously awaiting my Chinese-knockoff of the Galaxy - should be here in a few days. Same processor, same specs, $185 shipped DHL.

 

[dohsma]

I enjoy it. I looked at a bunch of Tabs and they all had pluses and minuses. I knew I didn't want an iPad. And the rest of the Android tabs needed many hoops jumped through to perform the way I want. I didn't feel like going through the hassle, so I bought the Galaxy Tab from CL and couldn't be happier.

Excellent! Yeah, I've been through the Android Tab Hoops several times. Just pulled the trigger on the latest-and-greatest with the 8" screen. Going with a consumer-grade tablet is a lot of up-front outlay but it's best if you don't want to futz with it. I tend to mod them pretty heavily, and the consumer-grade devices are .. insulated a lot more from that reality.

I'd rather have my eyes gouged out with a rusty antique melon baller than buy an iPad...
