Anyone else find it odd, that the members of this "circle of misfits" are prolific posters until it's their turn with the camera, then as soon as it shows up at their residence they are no longer heard from again (theme from "Twilight Zone" playing in the background).
Please be forgiving - all us Canadians are mourning the fact that there is not a single Canadian based team in the Stanley Cup playoffs.Anyone else find it odd, that the members of this "circle of misfits" are prolific posters until it's their turn with the camera, then as soon as it shows up at their residence they are no longer heard from again (theme from "Twilight Zone" playing in the background).

Last night I spent an hour or son wandering through this thread trying to figure out what I was supposed to do when the camera actually arrives.
I've got one question - how do you do a panorama with a chicken wearing polka dots!!??
... I've got one question - how do you do a panorama with a chicken wearing polka dots!!??
Like he said, polka dots. On a bikini, of course.mostly what kind of dressing?
I have decided on one (1) camera only, the Pentax, loaded with Legacy Pro 100 (Acros 100). My daughter suggested we all shoot 2 photos each, one panorama and one regular with self included in the regular shot, either a flat out selfie or your image worked in as a shadow, reflection, body part, or what ever. The Pentax has a built in pano mask that can be activated on demand then switched back off.
Awright kiddies! Time to set the shooting order-
Legacy of the Pentax Insanity!

then home to my dark room for processing and display here. I tried to have the shooting order make sense geographically, hope it works out for you all.
This is your last chance to remain sane, I'm about to notify Sile the gear is on the way. Also, one panorama shot, one regular shot with you included in it any way you can (body part, reflection, whatever). Please write in the included journal, doesn't have to be about the shots, just whatever comes to mind. I've put a fresh battery in the little gem and she's ready to rock-n-roll.
Here's a copy of the instruction manual at Butkus to make sure you can figure out how to use it.

To quote Sile from long, long ago:
"The Eagle has landed".
The camera has made its way to me, and I'm busily leafing through some ideas.
I added the quotes above, because finding anything in this thread is far from easy.
Yes, this kind of stuff really happens here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-australia-36195819

And I realize that there may have been some minor changes as well to the itinerary, but I'm at least sure that the camera came to me from Bob (walbergb) and is to go from me to Fred (flatulent 1).
I tried to do a synthesis of the different correcting and adjustments, please correct it yourself if needed !

I think I got cut from the team. I was on the list at one time. Was I booted?
Hadn't seen any emails or PM's in a while so I thought I'd check in. It seems I lost my avatar too. WTF? Otherwise, just still kickin' here... hope all's good with everyone else.
As far as hockey goes, I'll share two words with you: Nashville Predators!

Thanks for the correction. I wasn't on the one Matt King pasted a few posts above it. Good to know I'm still in the game!Check the list copied a few messages up. You're still there at no.15. The camera is currently at no.9.
Correct, and Nikon_John is off the listCheck the list copied a few messages up. You're still there at no.15. The camera is currently at no.9.
We're at #9 of the list now in about 19 months, so we'll be finished in March 2018??
