Round 10--REALLY???

[TheToadMen]

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.

@Rick A: since I'm the next one to mishandle your camera, I just wanted to make shure this is still the theme?

Yup.

 

[Black Dog]

Can we start thinking about 11 now?...

 

[flatulent1]

Yer nuts, I haven't even started thinking about 10 yet.

Let's see, one of them has to be a selfie... So I gotta wash the bathroom mirror, make sure the toilet's flushed, and remove any incriminating objects from the counter. Got it.

This process involves thinking?

No, just cleaning apparently

After a seemingly never ending hiatus, he sun finally shone in Bray this weekend and I grabbed both "The camera" and the opportunity..
My shots are taken, now I just need to bundle it back up and get it to the post office.

If my investigations are correct.. it's TheToadMen that are next to get the camera.. so I'll PM Rick and Toadmen just to be sure, but we should be on the move again this week!

I wasn't home today so I missed the mailman. He left a note saying he wanted to drop off something from Ireland and I can collect it at the post office tomorrow ....

Could it be, could it ?????

 

[Rick A]

Eeh... could be!

 

[TheToadMen]

Eeh... could be!

That or a nice bottle of Redbreast or Green Spot pure pot still ....
Oh, if only ....

 

[NedL]

It made it over the North Sea! Or maybe under it in the "chunnel"?

Do European postal carriers have a creed?

"Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.."

It could... It could....

Because strangely I had an email from "An Post" to say that there was no one at home to accept my parcel but that they had left a note saying it could be collected in the post office... Coincidence?

I think not........

I collected it at the post office and it was!
Now I'm off to study the manual so I'll be able two make two photos in 3 weeks time or so

Hmm, this quote looks like from Terry Pratchett's "Going Postal", isn't it ?

Great News, Bert !

Please take your time, for now I have to pressure my brain to found a good photo subject for my round

My subconscious is trying to figure out that one too, whilst waiting for some nice weather ...

I'm something like this on the inside:

and like this on the outside:

Hope everyone (and our camera) is warmer than we are today!

We had -24f again this morning, wind chill to -45. Last Monday it was -34 at my cousin's house just outside town. Our high predicted for today--a balmy +5f.

 

[toro_mike]

It's almost 50f in Denver now, but it might snow a foot or so over the weekend, or it might just be several inches. The weather people don't know

 

[Rick A]

I prefer snow, at least the temps stay above 0 when it's falling, plus I get payed good money to run my snow blower to clean every ones side walks.

 

[TheToadMen]

It keeps raining, about 1 Celsius (almost freezing). In short: gloomy weather and the Travelcam still refuses to step outside.

 

[Rick A]

I don't blame it, I don't want to go outside either.

I lived in Scotland for nearly 3 years and they'd be sunbathing oan a dee like that!

Ahh... Africa. It never goes below +50F in this part of the world. There again, one does have to deal with 95% humidity much of the time.

I hope you all stay safe and reasonably comfortable in the cold.

A good day to stay inside and listen to "Selling England by the Pound" again while enjoying a (there was a url link here which no longer exists).
I especially love the piano solo (intro) and the part starting with a flute solo (3:30) in "Firth of Fifth".
