I don't care who you are, that's funny right there! (Larry the Cable Guy)

John has no choice. You're going to the springs and he's watching the kids. Simple.

or, make him and the kids some dang quesadillas.

 

[zendianah]

Well, you have a sweet bike. And you're really good at hooking up with chicks. Plus you're like the only guy at school who has a mustache.

Well, the weather overnight in Missouri was kind of ugly, mixed rain and big fat snowflakes, and I had the warp-speed effect going on, so I had to wait it out. Just got back up here into the Colo. Spr. area about an hour ago. Sorry I missed it... how'd it all go?

 

[ashfordphoto]

Sorry you missed it too! It was a great time, I'm about to post just a few pictures. We had about 8 people.

 

[Lars Leber]

It was great. Everybody was very nice and I took some good photos.

Here are a few photos from when everybody was there. Of course, I didn't really get any pictures of anyone. After meeting at kinkos, having some great conversation, and then a great lunch...we went to garden of the gods and then to rainbow falls in manitou springs. 4 of us later went on to Glynn Erie and hiked to dorothy falls and had some AWESOME encounters with bighorn sheep (I'm going to start another thread on that in the landscape & nature forum). Here are a couple of the ones I took at Rainbow:

Be sure to check out the Dorothy Falls and bighorn pics...here's a teaser

It was a great time! I thoroughly enjoyed meeting all of you!

Here is most of our group at Garden of the Gods with Pikes Peak in the background. It is an HDR photo, I combined 3 exposures, shot against the sun.

Hey, guys! I just signed up for this forum--looks pretty good! It was so nice to meet you all yesterday--I just wish I could have gone with you to shoot. Oh, well....maybe next time--there is going to be a next time isn't there?!?

 

[RVsForFun]

...I need to lose some weight.

Who's who in the photo? I recognize Ashford Photo and Lars from their avatars, but am not sure about the rest. Any chance we can get names?

 

[RVsForFun]

That is an excellent HDR photo. I normally wouldn't have tried it with people but will now consider doing it based upon your results. How far apart did you bracket your exposures?

 

[zendianah]

Sorry I missed it also !!! My kiddo was sick.. I missed soccer this weekend and the photo shoot... Any chance we can do this soon??? I was looking forward to this.
