    went to LA the next day. Met up with IOU. Took the bus to the Dodgers game. Eat, drank, & shot graff along the way:

    Dear Best Friend,

     

    Holy shit dude! You are getting married tomorrow! To a smoking hot Colombiana! You win! As the Best Man, I already threw you a bad ass bachelor party, now I will supply teh beers & shots before the ceremony, then give a funny/heartfelt Best Man's speech at the reception.

     

    Congrats My Nigga,

  4. I have an orange Cooperstown Collection Houston Astros New Era Cap signed by Craig Biggio. Its not worth much if anything at all, but its damn cool to me! I would love to get Jeff Bagwell to sign it as well.

     

    I had a baseball signed by Nolan Ryan, but it was lost in the Hurricane :mad:

  5. Re: Dear ________, - no homo

     

    Dear California peeps,

     

    Thanks for all the advice/help/food/beer/etc. Its been fun but I've got to go home now. I am going to download my 1000+ photos, select the best ones, and make a photothread.

     

    I'm out this muthafucka!

    Dear San Fran peeps,

     

    Later today, I will be in attendance watching my beloved 'Stros in the "House That Bonds Built by Artificially Boosting His Strength & Recovery Time from Injury" (H.T.B.B.B.A.B.H.S.&.R.T.F.I. for short!).

     

    That is all. :lol: :D

     

    -Marco

  7. So I'm not the only one who reads this thread as "Your Day in PIES!"

     

     

    Did it used to be named that? Cause I have no idea why I read it that way.

     

    I don't

     

     

    I don't quite remember exactly when or why, but at one point a while back there was a lot of talk about "pies" in Channel Zero. I think it was about DAO's fingerbaging skills or something. Anyway, lots of thread names where changed, and the "Day in Pics" thread became "Day in Pies".

     

    Anyway, everything went back to "normal" after the 12oz Crash version 6.2

    Dear Suki,

     

    I will still be in LA until Saturday morning! IOU & I went to the Dodgers game today. It was awesome! I'm staying in Hollywood. Holler at me, too!

  10. Re: Dear ________, - no homo

     

    Dear IOU,

     

    I just got your text. I am in Hollywood now. I'll call you back/text you in a bit.

     

    -m

     

    Dear Mama Seyer,

     

    I have not planned that far ahead yet. I may try that park you suggested. We shall see....

     

    Thanks,

  11. yeah bro whats with these ridiculous iso settings it looks like there was sufficient light

    if anything you couldve used the flash and tried to edit out any excess whiteness

     

    Ridiculous?! I respectfully disagree. ISO 800 or 1600 @ 2.8 is pretty standard for concert photography in my opinion/experience/research. Many venues do not allow flash. I personally do not shoot w/flash @ concerts.

     

    if I had a 5dmark2, or a nikon d700, noise @ these settings would be reduced significantly. But, sadly, I shoot with what I can afford, which is a 30D. older/smaller sensor = more noise.

     

    lighting @ concerts varies each second, so saying "it looks like there was sufficient light" is not exactly accurate. I shoot in RAW, and more often that not I adjust the exposure & levels in post.

     

     

     

    click here for an FAQ about concert photography from a real pro:

     

    http://ishootshows.com/faq/#6

     

     

     

    and check out my homie's concert shots & his settings. all are shot @ ISO 800 or 1600.

    if anyone else shoots concerts, I would like to hear your shooting techniques.

  12. Re: Dear ________, - no homo

     

    Dear "Dear _____, - no homo" thread,

     

    why does removing the band-aid hurt so much more than the actual act of giving blood?! feels like I just ripped open a new orifice!! /NH
