Cool Harley

Apparently, I’m on my very own trainee trannie list. Now that is cool!

But you own a Harley and a Buell, so cannot be anything else but totally cool, a person like me cannot be concerned about Gender issues..

That ladies derrière avec la lumière has given up on me, i did find it weird though.

The list Derek was saving for later when he’s finished his studies, to be on it at this stage simply admit to buying some cycling stuff from Aldi, it is not finished and probably has more names yet to be gleaned from the Aldi thread.

Rachel A forum induced spelling incorrection of trannie

Makes mental note not only is barnsleymitch not cool but probably a trannie.

This is the ‘Uncool’ Section so far.

You’re going to get quite lonely on here, arent you?

Dude you shop at Aldi don’t talk to me, people are watching.. 😉

Is there a problem with being an old, wrinkly mountain biker??

For my chosen forum persona yes I’m afraid there is.

He’s already producing a list.

This is the ‘Uncool’ Section so far.

Should I add you to the old and wrinkly bit? 😉

I mean, have you ever been to Warrington? Or Stoke, on a Friday Night?

No dude, bravery like that.. Humbling to interact.

I did speak to one once, but didn’t understand what he said back, so smiled and left..

It’s wrong to expect a professional photographer to crit random imagery produced for pleasure, other than technical advice, it’s all meaningless. So i wouldn’t get wound up by his remark, it seemed a perfectly reasonable response.

Personally, for what it’s worth i enjoyed the double yellow and tram lines shot, so take some pleasure that momentarily you gave me visual pleasure.

Now excuse me for a bit of pretension.

That stuff is Art school stuff, the sort of thing that was cool at the time you’re trying to build a portfolio, the other shot i did think had some merit was the pillar vanishing point to person on steps, ‘shows a grasp of perspective’ would be the comment on the school report..

So that you have a talent and enjoy what you’re up to goes without saying and at the end of the day the most important person to impress is yourself, every persons perception is different, some get it some don’t, as long as you do then that’s all there is.

Lucky you don’t have to prostitute your talent like Mr Smith, only to have some moron client tell him it’s not what he wants and even worse he aint going to pay for it.

As to my credentials, My father was a photographer before me and I did twenty years in another life, part of it lecturing at colleges, all pre digital, when I learned we judged distances without rangefinders, judged exposure by experience and did an apprenticeship on single shot glass plate cameras.

So grudging praise from me is praise indeed, even if you are an argumentative b’stard at times with the merest hint of a complex of something or other, keep it up and enjoy it for what it is..

Seabrook? WTF?
Don’t; it’s all they get up there the poor sods, such is the deprivation.

Do they still have the little blue bag with salt in it?

How do you know all this? have you been oop there?

And survived?

No it isn’t wrong.

What is wrong is going to a gay party as edward scissorhands, then looking at me sideways in the Gents as you struggle to do what is necessary with your dick because of the scissors and shears…

Seabrook? WTF?

Tyrells Thai Sweet Chilly every now and then, Walkers if Tyrells not available but only Thai Sweet Chilly.
Occasionally a Roast Ox short issue concoction from an Asda multipack.

there’s a forum ride tomorrow actually, I’ll be there.

Is there? Where is that happening?

Edit: actually I’ve got to go now hadn’t noticed the time, it’s friday, sunny, the dog, a nice long ride and the pub beckons, I’ll be back later to find out where that ride is..

Cosmetic surgery now, who are you people?

I might be taking it too seriously but I don’t think this is a very nice thread. It feels a bit bullying to me.
I thought that too actually, until he joined in a bit.

I didn’t think that, I thought they probably ‘know’ each other, but not necessarily in the biblical sense, not like civil partners or anything, just joshing with each other, and or suckering us into a fixed sweepstake with the intention of financing Horas Transition Covert.. 🙂

A girl where I work rides Lapierre, I can’t wait to tell her, she’ll be so pleased..

Unequivocally out.

Lots of reasons none of you would understand and those that would, read the Guardian so don’t count.

I don’t like lots of brands.

Canon – because it’s for girls.
Dell – It’s for cheapskate nerds
OnOne – Don’t know what it is but it sounds knaff, probably for the brothers of the above.
Osprey – Because it’s a bird and a knaff boat
Microsoft – Just Because it exists
Skoda – Because ugly people drive it.
Starboard – Because Ginger people windsurf on it.
Pride – Because they make Mobility Scooters
Pryde – Because they should make mobility scooters
Kawasaki – they’re too green and driven by nobs
Patels – Because they called me a mincer (Our corner shop)
Specialised – Because it sounds like it should be for something else
Trek – Because everyone rides it and they wear lycra with a stupid shop name on it.
Fatwaist – Because I haven’t
MacDonalds – Because they kill children
Benson & Hedges – Because they kill grown ups
Stella – Because people who drink it beat up their wives and anyone found with them.
Shell – Because they make too much money as do HSBC,Barclays, and pretty much every brand of bank
Goldman Sachs – because of that dick that was on here the other day.

This could go on a lot further but I’m getting bored with it now..

I also have this irritation, whereas push button uppy downy seat thingies are without doubt the greatest wonder of the age and the best thing to happen to a bike since I climbed on one, crowds still gather whenever my finger hovers over the button but….

That annoying cable brushing against my perfect inner thigh, ruffling the creases in my 8 tracks, is not coowell.

I do apologise for that, it was harsh and wrong, it’s been a bad tempered day, and I should have been sympathetic, not vitriolic.

In another life I also often had similar commissions and they are never easy, from accident damaged children, to wives and loved ones lost without photographic record, i used to work with undertakers, the camera is a shield, once you’re behind it your auto responses take over.

So when it came to my turn, a child with no photographic record, I guess i just went through the process as part of the grief reaction, hardly a panacea, but then in times like that one never knows what one really is doing.

However, my point if i could shamefully claim to have one, is simply that they are feeling far worse than you and in your own way you are actually helping the situation so take a positive view.

Sorry once again for my earlier bad tempered remarks, there’s something extremely negative to the spirt about this place, very bad karma.

Try photographing your own dead son, see how that feels…

Sorry but you need to take everything in context with your own situation.

Thanks guys 😆 that could have been my dad teaching me to ride..

What’s his name?

They should fit all those bikes with dynamos and hitch you lot up to the National Grid.

Then in the day time whilst you’re all at work they should make all benefit claimants come in and work for their money generating power..

It’s ticking[/url]

That Fulifilm FinePix scores well and has a proper viewfinder, better for sports (bike) shots (and fashion if you ever get a chance, nothing girlies like more than man and camera).

I’m making a list you’re all going on it.

It was unbelievable this morning, wafting really warm pockets of air as the sun rose, surreal this late in a none summer, where was this in July and August when we had some daylight hours after work to enjoy it?

Still mustn’t grumble a lovely ride.

Nice launch for his rib, I wonder how often he’ll use it.

One for the cool brands thread then.. everyone posting here report to the uncool section, ‘cept me of course since I’m self appointed cool police.

Out of interest (& looking to excuse my failure )

Of those who can’t see these things, who has lots of floaters ?
I have..
But that’s not how you do it focus ‘through it, kind of two or three feet behind it, see f you can see the shark.

Every day with the dog, up to the village then back over what I’m considering building a little bermy jumpy bit, if ever i get some time to shovel..

Weight (I’m told by the purveyors of fine cycles) used to be important for XC stuff and presumably for those fine spandex fellows that bother traffic and inhale carbon monoxide for kicks, but for the coming world of jumps and drops and ski resort riding what’s important is that the bike doesn’t break and so it was I bought one of the few types that don’t do this but are not the lightest around, but i see my future more in gondolas than spandex.

Hmm linhof, can’t pretend to have an opinion, Sinar man myself
it’s just another camera. chosen because it had lens axis tilts not 3/4 way down the standard, it was also very portable but with full movements.

Don’t, sometimes I wake up in cold sweats remembering those days, trying to keep perspective with rising front, twisting the axis to keep focus on bloody poly intubator cuffs, (I did a lot of product shoots for a medical company amongst many other features of lifes rich pattern)often wondering how soon they’d pay this time, it was all polaroid backs in those days and airbrush post production. Life must be much easier now.

Hmm just re read those tow posts, it can’t be both can it? Life for a pro photographer i mean, easier and harder, although I guess technically easier, but tougher because of increased competition.

Where are you going to ride that?

Hmm linhof, can’t pretend to have an opinion, Sinar man myself, but that was a while ago now, way back before I swallowed the red pill and left that life along with the discarded weston master V, must be tough these days with colleges churning out easy access photo nerds.
On a strictly amateur keep my hand in front i went digital back in 2004 with the D70 which now lays gathering dust as the iPhone and little lumix do all I need.

Back to the OP and the D700, i can’t help wondering why the video option of something like the 300s would offer more opportunities for creativity..

Then again will the 800 have full HD video on FX?

I can see his conundrum.
