i'm humbled at the honor to be in such company!  thank you all so very much!!!!!

wow, what an outstanding collection of great work!!! thank you all for your time in putting this together...and thanks for including one of mine...it's an honor to be here! warmest regards, Eric

thank you for all your hard work and effort in putting these together!!!! as always, it's an amazing collection of photography!!!! ESB

"sorry i couldn't be more help"?????!!!!! dude, that pretty much summed it all up. so i guess it's really nothing out of the ordniary, from what it sounds like just a b/w image on fiber or rc paper. pretty sneaky way to hike up the prices though...lol!! thanks a ton Doug!!!

this is such a cool thing to do. i can't imagine the time involved in putting this together!!! thank you for selecting one of my shots, it really means a lot!!! and thank you to those who put this together every week, your efforts are very much appreciated!!!! Eric

i've been working feverishly all night to see exactly what i got to present to the owner and i got to say...WOW!!! not patting myself on the back but the firework shots are turning out awesome!!! also some of the evening light shots are turning out well...i did however fall short on his crowded deck shots but i did get the crowd in the firework shots but i'm not sure that's what he's looking for... i'll probably post one tonight for the 4th of July, i don't want to post too many because i don't know what dude will want.. i'll keep you guys posted!!! Eric

i took two xanax before i got out of my car...so i shot the outside of the place till they kicked in...heh heh!!! well, it's over and done with!!! i couldn't have done it with out all of your great advice and tips, thank you all so much!!! i wasn't nearly as bad as i was making it out to be, i just did my thing with my buddy/assistant...he actually did have a job to do, he unloaded the memory cards to the laptop while i continued to shoot...good plan, even if i do say so myself..lol!!! now the fun begins, sifting through 300 shots to see what's what!!! thank you all again so much, your encouragement means a lot and i'm truely gratful for it!!!! Eric

thank you so much Michael, i appreciate your input very much!!! to this day i still use the stuff you showed me when we met down town!!! thank you for that as well!!! i wich i shared your confidence, but i won't be sure till i do it and see my results...hopefully good ones!!! this is the one firework shot i got tonight, i got two but this is the good one. i didn't manage to get a lot, by the time i found a place to park and set up they were nearly over but i got what i needed so i can't complain!!! one other question if i may? with the flash, there's no possible way for me to get the right one so i have to make due with the one i borrowed (from the couple test shots i did it looked ok)... here's the part where everyone will laugh... for a difuser, could i get away with using coffee filters? i'm going to do some testing with and without to see what's what but i' thought i'd make a fool of myself and ask first... thanks again everyone, Eric

thank you to everyone for your well wishes, your time, advice, and tips...i appreciate it more then you'll know!!! i got the flash problem partly solved, meaning i got one. it's not the recommended sb600 or 800, it's not even from this decade i don't think but it sincs and works, i just got to learn how to use it now...that's the next thing i'll be starting on as soon as i'm done typing. as for the fireworks, i found a display not to far from home so i managed to sneak in a few shots, that was simple enough to figure out. one thing and this may be helpful for people who use it, turn off the noise reduction feature on your cam if you have it, it was taking way to log to process between shots and because of it i missed quite a few...luckily it was only a practice run and well worth it i must say!!! now just got to learn the flash and figure out a way to deal with the people by tomorrow at 7:30pm...yeah, talk about last minute!!! thank you all again, i've learned some valuable things and i'm so glad i asked!!!! i'll let you know how i make out!!!! kindest regards, Eric

thank you all for the kind words, i appreciate it!!! i just now realized that i posted the wrong picture. i took a couple different shots (with the same settings) because a car drove through the scene (you might have noticed it above). sorry about that, it's technically the same shot that's in my gallery but with the car...which i forgot o PS out... thanks again everyone!!! EB

lmao:)!!! Jeroen, that's awesome!!! i was just being a smart a$$...kidding with you but i kind of had the feeling there was a critter lurking in there somewhere...heh heh!!! looks like a fantastic shot to me! the color is fantastic, all the different shades of blue to green are there!!! outstanding capture and thank you for the laugh(i needed it)!!!! Eric

wow, things i never would have figured out trying on my own...wonder how much other stuff i don't know (tons i'm sure).. thank you both for the assistance, it is very much appreciated:)!!! EB
