Hey Robert great photos! I particularly like the one with the old train conductor. Keep up the great posts, it's so useful for budding photographers like myself.

Robert:
Great post, I am an avid flickrite, novice zooomrite, and I love photography! I know what you mean about Thomas Hawk "just seeing things" you didn't, that is how I often feel, like there are many things I could see if I had the talent. I am working on it though, getting a little better. Wish I was closer to Sacremento, but I am in sunny Las Vegas, Nevada. If you EVER come out this way, shoot me an email, we can get a nice little photowalk here, either down at the strip or a few great museams or natural areas like Red Rock Nat'l Conservation area.

I wish I could have been there. Let me know when you do a photowalk in my neck of the woods. Maybe a Notre Dame or Chicago photo walk this summer perhaps.

Thanks again to Thomas and Robert for a great afternoon! And thank you Seagate for my new 8gig card!!

David: I'm still deciding. Sometimes it bugs me, other times I like it.

Wordpress.com added it, by the way. For me I like it more than it bugs me, which is why I haven't removed it yet. But, I'm still deciding.

Hi Robert. What do you think of the SNAP preview thing that's suddendly shown up on your site? Did you or Wordpress turn it on?

It doesn't add much value to the browsing experience IMHO.

That Sunset photograph is almost mesmerizing - it is sad that there are no larger versions on flickr

BTW: :-D

Brilliant idea to use SNAP Previews on the Links

High quality large thumbnails appear when the cusor hovers over that links :-D

Perhaps you should consider joining the MyBlogLog and coComments communities

Robert,

The family and I had a blast yesterday. I don't think we'll be able to make the surfing event, but I'll keep an eye open for the next photowalking event you have. If you want some ideas for the North Bay, let me know. There's one or two places around here that might be fun to visit, like maybe the Charles Schultz Museum.

Thanks, Robert.

Oh, and feel free to edit out my silly question about Thomas' new lens. I didn't realize until last night, when I was thinking over the events of the day, that I had asked him if his new 50mm had any vignetting issues. A 50mm with vignetting? On a full frame sensor?

I guess I had wide angle lenses on the brain. (I've been wishing for a wider lens lately, and I certainly could have used a faster one at the time.)

Henrik: good point. But do they take videos of their Photowalks?

Man: I'm really backlogged with video again. Sigh. So, it's looking like early February.

Robert,

I think it's fantastic what you do, and I am one of very many fans of Thomas Hawk. But whan it comes to photowalking your old hometown of Seattle is ahead of you.

If you look at http://www.flickr.com/group... you have a meetup group that has been doing monthly photowalks for over a year. Just thought you might want to check it out.

This was loads of fun. Thanks for inviting the Sacramento Flickr group. So, how long before we get to see the video, Scoble? I'm not impatient, just curious.

Please, no wet suits for Thomas or Robert. Bad mental image. ;-)

Leica also makes a 50mm F/1 lens. It's called the Noctilux and it was first available in the mid '70's. It's a manual focus lens that works on rangefinder cameras with the Leica M mount.

Joe, yeah, in Hawaii the surfers come really close to shore. Not in Santa Cruz. The really big waves are a ways off. The best way to shoot them is to get a Waverunner and get into the waves with a waterproof camera, but I'm not gonna do that.

Re: Photo “training”

Joe — Mon, 22 Jan 2007 14:41:25 -0000

I'm still waiting for Canon to send me one.

I was on Oahu last Monday and people were surfing on Waikiki. Unlike the North shore, they were getting pretty close to shore where they would've filled the frame at 300mm. But then again, the waves weren't big enough for a good dramatic surfing shot. And I left my camera in the hotel room.

yeah pretty good pics

Robert Scoble — Mon, 22 Jan 2007 14:10:48 -0000

Joe: nah, for Mavericks from land you need a 600MM lens, maybe even with a teleconverter. Something like Canon's 600 F4 lens would be killer. Hell, we might even rent a 300 too.

If Canon were smart, they'd send Thomas two to share with other photographers.

Film, definitely old skool! Nice work Joe. Digital is getting better and better but it's still not at film quality yet.
