I think that your new camera is working just fine. Now, like me, you need to learn more about things like focusing properly and composition. I'm still in the learning stage myself. Good Luck. :)Quote:

:rofl: Sorry...you're response gave me a good laugh. When you told me that it was no Gecko, I though, ok, he sounds like he really knows about these creatures, and will be able to tell me exactly what it is, so I can properly label the picture. Then you come back with "I don't know, I call 'em yard lizards."Quote:

Ya sorry. I live in Hawaii and we have a lot of lizards, Geckos, these things, and many more. I can tell you that isn't a gecko though :p:

Fabulous shot there Elisha, great work
Lestat, those are some really outstanding pics, cant wait to see more, please post only one pic per day, cause if everyone will start posting 2 - 3 pics a day, it will be hard for us to see the huge amount of pics being posted.
Very nice, brown or blue?Quote:

that keyboard reminds me of the Razor Arctosa i did a review of, (only because of the black keys with black letter labels)
crap keyboard by the way.
that one looks much more durable
This one is mechanical.. very different from any Razer product (or any common keyboard). Only one sold by regular gaming hardware company is Steelseries 7G a 6GV2. Which has Cherry Black MX switches. :) And its great, I guess that blues will be perfect too..
PS: I have 7G. :D Best keyboard I ever owned so far.. just hope it doesnt break.. after that, well I guess I will buy Das Keyboard Professional Silent. :D
Oh it's durable all right... Like heaven to type on too (not in the typing on clouds sense)Quote:

Considering that Glock can survive up to 300k shots, its probably pretty good deal. It seems very well preserved..

Kayleigh Perkins, driver of the Vitamin Water/Foster Care UL-72 Unlimited Hydro letting me know what she thought about her run while being towed back to the dock. She "spun out" on backside of the south turn (SE corner) at Firebird Lake during the Lucas Oil Boat Drags at FIR last April. It got to be a bad day, you can see the dust in the air and how choppy the water is getting; the races were called off shortly afterward and the wind was strong enough to blow over the timing scoreboard that wasn't too far from where I was. (If you're familiar with FIR, I was on the island in the middle of the lake.) Taken with a Nikon D300, 300m Nikkor lens at f7.1, and it lost a little detail in the resize.

I lost exif data, sorry. Taken with DMC-FZ28.
I did a little bit of touchup in GIMP, to bring the colors out a bit more. The two pictures I used were a few minutes apart and I think I bumped the camera a bit, so they don't line up exactly :(
tried sephia and didnt care for it (not a sephia fan)Quote:

i just looked at how much those were,,,, oh lord.... wow... i like a nice keyboard but no way are those worth $120+
Mechanical = Expensive .. 7G is cheapest I think?
They're built better than any rubber dome keyboard I've ever used. Plus they feel a hell of a lot better to type on.
Have you ever tried the Logitech illuminated kb ?Quote:

The board in my pic has Browns in it. I originally had a Filco with Blues, but coffee isn't very forgiving. The "s" key tends to bounce (registers multiple presses with one press). I'm gonna pull it apart eventually though.Quote:

But my next KB purchase will be this: http://elitekeyboards.com/products.p...2&pid=pdkb400b
Should make a nice substitution for the laptop keyboard.
The keyboard was missing a D, hence the FPS gaming pun. :DQuote:

what monitor you use Marin ? and is that your photo/video editing unit?
Samsung 245BW, I've had it for awhile now. And I edit photos on my comp; I don't use it for video since I use Final Cut.
wow kind of surprised your using a TN panel for photo editing. - i thought it was IPS but newegg shows it as a TN panel ???
well final cut is a pc app, what monitor you use for that ?
just wondering what monitors people are using that have proper gamut and good panels.
i rma'd my 2407 on the last day of warranty so i got what appears to be a pretty new or about as new as one can get and its colors are alot better and zero backlight bleeding, but i been in the mood for a new monitor for a long time.

Apple Cinema Display, which is IPS. Reason I got a display with a TN panel is IPS only got cheap recently. When I purchased the 245BW it was $400 and that was considered cheap for a 24" with a TN panel.Quote:

LED is only different way of lighting monitor up, its just more "ECO" than CCFL used for other monitors. If done properly, it should give much more uniform illumination/brightness over entire monitor. Problem is, that usually it just gives you "light maps" with places that are illuminated and places which apparently bit lacks illumination. Simply, usually its worse than classic CCFL illumination. :)
What really matters is monitor matrix .. S-IPS, S-PVA, S-TN and such.. there are few other options, like new and cheaper E-IPS. Tough, I never saw them, so cant say.
If you want pics just for PC and web, you should be fine with good S-TN/TN. If you want print.. well, aRGB capable monitor isnt bad for that. :) Usually S-IPS or S-PVA (or some other IPS/PVA variations).
There are also some internal tech specs, which affects quality, like if it has 10bit precision or 16bit (and few others), and how much bits LUT has. More you have, higher price, but more accurate (if calibrated ofc). Currently you can take advantage of Display Port that can with correct monitor achieve even higher color precision.
I have Eizo 22" - aRGB 95% and S-PVA panel. Perfect for printing, quite cheap. :) WUXI from NECs are pretty good too and ofc Apple monitors. :) Especially those with S-IPS.
the led's that i have tried are total crap.
event he samsung LED which is a wicked nice LOOKING monitor is HORRIBLE for image editing.
and SLIGHT movement of your head throws off the monitor color
Yeah i know the border goes over the image in parts.. i'm lazy and dont feel like cropping it properly.
i didn't realize until i got the image on the PC that the bottom flower had so much shadow on it compared to the other 2, had it not, it would have made it better.
