I always do a couple of test shots before a photo session. Just to check the settings and make sure I have a memory card in place. This was before going outside with the pups, so I crouched down and focused on Eva who was sitting half way across the kitchen at the time. She promptly got up, came closer than my minimum focus distance and started to yawn which transitioned to a hack, polluting the right side of my lens. For some reason I think I have to clean my lens more often than the average photographer.
A total missed shot which I thought about instantly deleting, but something about the focus on her cheek and the abstract nature of the shot made me keep it. It also fortuitously fit with the studio 26 theme of DOF.
Típico HOYGAN de un/una usuario/a, en el que asegura que un/unos hacker/s le han robado hasta la tinta de la impresora...
Please, Folks, if anyone contacts you with an "urgent" message asking you to email them, you need to be super careful and check their stream and profile. Most will have no pics available, or only a profile pic they think is attractive. These folks are hoping you will contact them by email and they can somehow access your computers and hijack all your banking info! It's even worse when you use a smart phone, since they can access all your contacts, too!
Years ago, before they were even as good at this as they are now, I was hacked by a Nigerian. Just chatting on the site made it possible for him to take over my computer! I don't know how it works, but all I know is it was pretty quick and would have been painful had I been doing online banking and such back then! I would try to log onto my computer, would enter my password, and watch it change before my eyes from a 7 digit to a 16 digit one! The hacker was remote controlling it! I had to have it wiped at a computer shop. Had that happened with a bunch of photos and programs, I could have lost everything. Fortunately, it was in the early days of my computer use, and I didn't really use it for much other than going on a few sites and surfing the web.
Flickrmail is a good thing. Use it! If you don't know if you can trust someone, it's a whole lot safer than giving out your email. I understand that yahoo is one of the worst for hackers, too, so if you use Yahoo chat or email, you might want to switch to gmail or something. Be careful whose emails you open, and play it safe. Block people who try to get you to email them, and let everyone know who they are! Let's drive the bad guys off Flickr!
A park Rangers hooked me up with a new location to check out in the Delaware water gap. I had heard of this place but must have forgotten it for some reason. Anyway, being a cloudy day, I figured this was the time to check it out. The place was pretty busy, so I had to compose the shot to keep all the moving people out of the it. I couldn't do anything about the moving plants, they don't listen very well.
Something that looks a little like a sparkler is coming out of Slim's head. Slightly amusing, but really you should have seen him new year's eve.
I've received several emails about this now so here it is:
The Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority
(SEPTA) is committed to providing non-discriminatory
transportation services to all its passengers, including
schizophrenics, drug addicts, Irish Catholics, hipsters,
homos, prostitutes, gentrifying transplants, raging
maniacs, tourists, obnoxious Penn students, corner boys,
pimps, drunk rich kids who still think Old City is cool, and
terrified suburbanites who tremble with unease at the
sight of everyone.
Any person who is or seeks to be a patron of SEPTA
public vehicle shall be entitled to the same depressing
experience of loud cell phones, obese people eating
McDonalds, parents telling their toddlers to "Shut the
Fuck Up!", and a constant inch-deep layer of urine-soaked
trash and debris.
No person or group of persons shall be discriminated
against on any grounds with regard to routing,
scheduling, or quality of transportation service furnished
by SEPTA, with the following exceptions—race, color,
socioeconomic status, and proximity to suburbs.
Any person who has experienced a cleaner, more
efficient, more extensive , and better managed public
transportation in the U.S. (e.g. Most if not all) can
feel free to notify SEPTA about potential improvements,
which shall promptly be ignored.
