  1. You are way lucky. Brent ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com
  2. Is your avatar a crop of one of my pictures, or did April take that? ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com
  3. Desperate SWM seeks immediate sex with gorgeous SWF. ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com
  4. I knew it was coming. EDITED TO ADD: I knew the TIME when a sheep picture would be posted was coming. I do not know anything about the sheep's level of arousal. ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com
  5. SWEET! ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com

    Helmets

    I don't wear one when I do solos, but that is probably dumb, since one of my friends just recently knocked himself out hitting the doorframe on exit on a solo. He wokeup in freefall on his back wondering where he was. He said he thought he was having that dream where you are falling, then after a couple of seconds realized he actually was falling, checked his altitude, and pulled.

  7. I went to AFF alone. Now I have a circle of new friends with whom I share something that none of my other friends understand. Just go on and do it, if you want to. The dz is an easy place to make friends. ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com
  8. Whatever happened to the balloon guy that Chris was talking to last year? Did that plan evaporate? ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com
  9. The costume was from a Halloween party at work last year. I came as a pimp, and one of the analysts in the office came as my ho. Brent ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com
  10. It is the intervention guy. Last year he said he wouldnot be my friend anymore if I went to the dz Halloween Boogie weekend. I eventually negotiated days, and I went to his party instead of the boogie party. ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com
  11. I can't believe I actually looked at all of them. I kept thinking that there would be at least one normal stripper in there. CrazyIvan would have never done this to us! ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com
  12. Sweet! Now people are getting creative. Unfortunately, it is a short slide down the Photoshop slope from here to me going down on a sheep (where is Clay, anyway?). ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com
  13. Special thanks to pds, who cropped the good-looking person and the background out of the picture so my ugly mug would upload. Brent ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com
  14. I agree with you, Deuce. While I would love to be able to fix the focus and wait wait wait for the perfect moment and then capture it forever with perfect skill, I must unfortunately rely on cranking out 10 frames per swoop and hoping that one is a keeper. I understand the other argument too, though. Even if I went off to war, there are very few situations that I would even consider using full auto on a rifle. Even up close, marksmanship beats equipment. But if I could not shoot worth a crap, I would use the hell out of full auto and hope for the best. But enough of that strained analogy. Maybe someday I'll set up a large format rig and get the perfect shot through skill and planning. But right now I have trouble doing that with landscapes, so action is out of the question.

  15. Sam scheduled his Halloween Party opposite the boogie again. This may be a good year to write him off. I have already caughthell for wanting to go to the dz during the DAY. ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com
  16. Look at me! I look like a real dz.com user now! Thanks, folks. Brent ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com
  17. Alright. I'm getting jealous of the fact that everyone else has a high speed avatar, some (such as AggieDave) even with a little pan blur going on. So I'm going to try to join to community a little more, but I have no idea how to make a jpg of appropriate size. Is it possible to convert this bmp to an appropriate jpg? Thanks in advance for your help. Brent EDITED: I had a bmp that was ust of my smiling mug, but it was actually a LARGER file that would not upload. Revised request is for you to crop my face out of this and make it a jpg of appropriate size. Please no horns or moustache. Brent ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com

  19. I would love for someone with multiple canon bodies to compare them in terms of their ability to maintain AF on fast-moving action. In particular, I have found the Ti to be lacking in ability to lock in on a swooper coming at me when I am on the ground. I select one of the focus points and keep it right on the swooper's eyes, but I often find that the body has decided that infinity is the best setting for a guy screaming by 10 feet away. My 7e body might be a little better at it, but that may just be wishful thinking on my part. Have you guys found that your 10D's or EOS 3's do a better job tracking the subject in AF mode?

  20. I'm tall. There's a picture of me in the whuffo coworkers thread: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=613351#613351 ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com
  21. If your only problem is the plastic body, don't get too hung up. Canon makes a pretty tough plastic body. ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com
  22. I use B&H for everything I can. They have always treated me right, but then again I have made it easy on them by being lucky and not tearing my stuff up. They have prices only slightly higher than the places that hide exorbitant shipping fees and send inferior quality merchandise rather than what you ordered and paid for.
