Wow, now that is ART. Excellent job, you must be very proud of that photo.

It's just a snap of some corn growing in my field, schitt-for-brains. It
wasn't presented as "art," and, unlike your horsie photos, at least you
can tell what it is.
Since you liked that one so much, here's another snap:

And the original, again, just because you liked it so much:

So, what do you grow on that expansive piece of Atlanta real estate on
which your townhouse sits...I mean, of course, aside from stupid?

Big flippen' deal.

Harry,
This is absolutely amazing the way you captured the feeling of Middle
America, the great open spaces, with the Native American's basic grain
blowing in the wind. You should get this framed, maybe sell it to Getty
Images. I can understand why you have always poo-poo'ed my feeble
attempts at taking a photograph. While i don't think I will ever be
able to reach your level of expertise, at least you have given me a
target to shot for.
I do like the photos you make with your D200 and Nikon 18-200mm with VR.
You told us you sold your digital camera except for your little point
and shoot and now exclusively used your Leica with prime lens for most
of your photos.
What made you decide to go out and purchase a new D200 and 18-200VR was
it based upon the great photos of the SW posted in here or the
advantages JohnH found when he purchased his d200 w/ 18-200 with VR?
Did you use a tripod or just handhold the camera and take advantage of
the "new technology"? When did you decide a "walk around" lens with an
extremely wide focal range did have it's advantages over using prime
lens' exclusively?
John H.
I'm winning.
I get more responses by ignoring him than you get by addressing him.
I win.

Actually, Reggie, as I stated, all I wanted was a couple of snaps of the
corn growing in my field.
Your "art photos" seem to have the same problem: they look as if they
were put together to *be* "art" photos. They appear as if you were
straining as hard to produce them as someone constipated might strain to
produce a bowel movement.
I'm not talking realism versus surrealism here, either. Your "art
photos" have absolutely no grace. They remind me of those Revell kits we
got as kids to build plastic battleships...lots of pieces and parts,
lots of work, lots of glue and, in the end, all you had was a plastic
battleship.
I only post snapshot photos, Reggie. I hang my good prints on the walls,
and you know what? I spend the time on those in composition, not in
Photoshop.
But, then, you're sort of the Ersatz Champ of the newsgroup.
RPS
As I said, i don't think I can EVER approach your photography skills. I
have never been an "artistic" kind of guy and it shows in my work. I
really don't have the "eye" you have to compose a photo, and have to
resort to fumbling my way through Photoshop to correct photos that
should have been never taken. I tend to produce dried up pieces of
crap, that should have been deleted, but it keeps me busy. My photos
reminds me of when they had pre-school kids do "art" projects.
So after you sold all of your digital slr's what made you decide to go
out and buy another D200 with the "POS" 18-200VR lens? You must have
kicked yourself in the tail for selling a perfectly good D200 at "used"
prices to then turn right around and buy another one.
Since you decided to re-purchased the D200 and go back to using a
digital slr, do you wish you had held out for the D300, D700 or D3?
HK
What are you raving about now, regarding the sale of digital SLRs?
Are you on crack?
RPS
That is one of those lies you forgot. It is a bitch when you tell so
many you forget them all. When JohnH purchased his D200 you told him
you sold all your digital slr's and would only use a point and shoot or
your Leica. You also made a big deal out of what a POS the 18-200 VR
lens and would never waste your money on those high tech lens when all
you wanted was a good prime lens. Your ability to hold a camera steady
was such that you would never need or want the VR feature and a zoom
lens was useless. I think you were just upset because JohnH had a D200
and you wanted to "pretend" you were above using an ordinary camera.
You were only going to use your film Leica.
No one believed you at the time, so you must have forgotten that discussion.

You've got it wrong. About when Herring bought his digital SLR, I sold
my D70. The two events were not connected. In fact, I sold it to someone
here. Then I bought another digital SLR later. My comment on the zoom
was that I didn't think it was as "sharp" as fixed focal point lenses,
an opinion I believe more firmly now than I did then. It's also very heavy.
When I carry a camera around, it is either my old Leica or my wife's
point and shoot Canon digital. I like small, compact light cameras for
"carry." When I am going somewhere specific and need an SLR, then I
bring it along.
The funny thing, Reggie, is that it would not matter if you were using a
Hasselblad. Your photos would still look contrived and Photoshopped.
BTW, is that your boat you are displaying as an avatar at Chuck's?

Reggie puts his own little spin on everything.
Any more kiddie motorcycle accidents in your area?

Yep. Mrs.E. bought it and uses it virtually everyday. She's actually
become quite an accomplished photographer and knows the camera. Surprised
the heck out of me. Of course most of her pictures are of grandkids or
horses.
BTW .... since you enjoy pet pictures so much, here's one of Mrs.E.'s
sister's dog. (Not taken by Mrs.E.)
The dog just celebrated it's 16th birthday, which is unheard of for this
breed of dog. I got a kick out of it's needed "accessory".

Believe it or not, it's a Dachshund.
It has an interesting history. My brother is married to my wife's sister
... I always remind people that *that* is perfectly legal. :-)
Anyway, 16 years ago he and I were having a few brews. Quite a few. My
brother is well known for being cheap ... er.. "frugal" with his money. As
the cold ones were going down, I was giving him some good natured ribbing
about his moth infested wallet.
At some point, the subject of wives came up and their interests. My
sister-in-law is an animal lover and always wanted a "hot-dog", and I dared
him to go buy her one. Again, you have to remember this was a lazy, hot
Saturday afternoon with the brews going down nicely.
So, eventually, off to the pet store we went, half crocked.
They put my brother in a room with two little dachshund puppies. He played
with them for a while, then picked one up to hold it and it jumped out of
his arms, landing on it's head on the floor.
I told him, "Buy the other one".
That's the story behind "Wilma".

RPS
I know, I really suck at it.
I am not sure, what do you think?
HK
That's a great story. My first girlfriend in Kansas City had a
weinerdog, and her pooch really was my introduction to the breed. It was
friendly, but absolutely fearless and totally unaware of its size
relative to other, usually much larger, dogs.
You ever watch The Fishing Hole on ESPN? Jerry McKinnis was the host. It
was a terrific fishing show, very low-key, no faked shots, and Jerry's
companion was a very sharp, smart, and fish-loving weinerdog.

Seems like that's a common trait among the small dog breeds. My wife's
little Westie is the same way and would actually be a better companion on
the boat than my black lab, "Sam Adams".
Sam is definitely a guy's dog. 110 lbs, burbs, farts, scratches his ass,
etc., but has the best temperament of any dog I have ever had or been
around. I didn't want him initially, but now I can't help but to love the
stupid goofus.

Had to laugh...the very day you brought this up a couple weeks ago I ran
into my new next door neighbour as I returned from walking my Springer
Spaniel.
Right away the guy starts talking about how loyal a dog is and how great it
would be to get employees as loyal.
Then he starts talking about how cheap his brother was with three or four
stories to back up the claim.
Eventually, he told me his brother had a 'press box' big enough for a dozen
people at the Eagles concert in Moncton later this summer.
Seems the brother invited a gang of his business associated and not his own
brother. my neighbour, who happens to be a big Eagle fan.

Naw, not like my brother. He's a good guy ... I'd trust him with my life.
He just doesn't like pulling out the wallet. For anything. Makes him
visibly nervous.

The problem is, I enjoy a challenge, and I am bored with Harry, it is
too easy to catch him. My guess is when he was younger, he could keep
up with his lies better. Now he can't remember what day it is.
