why Thank you Steven....Sadhu reminds me of back in India....good friends always called me by my last name....we never used the first name haha....

I remember this going down....a friend of mine Rajarshi Guin....great guy....I called his landline and his mom answered the phone:

Her: Hello
Me: Hello ! can I talk to Guin
Her: He is at work, can I take a message...

Thats when I realized she thought I wanted to talk to her husband

I hung up and called back and asked for Rajarshi hahaha...was hilarious !!!

Saw my first C7 tonight; it was a grey one. I was only able to catch a quick glimpse of it and by the time I realized what it was it had already passed. It looked and sounded amazing though. I can only imagine how much fun you're having getting to own one.

Some updated pictures for you. I met a young man who is an aspiring photographer. He took these shots from the Winter version of Fast Fridays at KC Trends. It was called Frozen Fridays!

Steven, don't kill me...photobucket is fkng your sh*t up here.
Ask him for the original, or ask him to host it on Flickr. Trust me on that...those shots are stellar, but the quality is being a$$raped by the hosting site.

Other than that, I love them!

As an example, and I can only save/post a VERY small image (which doesn't help with the quality).

you mean 62 KB...62 megs is very large...shooting raw on the D3200 each image is about 20-25mb...62 mb will be almost 3 times that...


I do concur, I used photoshop.com until they put a very small limit on how much you can upload...I have been using flickr....

and anytime I have to say anything I have learned about taking pix and making them look good, all the credit does to Tyler/Jeremy/Morgan....

also Steven when you ask for original pix, make sure he doesnt zip them up....some compression softwares will steal away from pixel detail to compress the file....ask him for either the raw file and convert it OR a converted jpg

No I actually used Photoshop.com as an image hosting site...

recently they moved all the content to some other website and I didnt like it that much and hence moved all my content to flickr...

The nav screen is interesting... I wonder if the lighting really made that line across the screen like that or if it was touched up in post-processing.
