  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

    What city is the best "Sports Town?"

    Being from NY, I'd love to say NY but I'd be fooling everyone and myself if I believed that. Yes, we have an abundance of teams but of those, only the Jets and Giants sell out their games on a regular basis. A family of 4 pretty much has to take out a 2nd mortgage to go to a Yankee game. Mets...

    Anyone near Bethpage, Long Island?!

    I'm not far from Bethpage....about 30 mins or so. My home lounge is Goodfella's in Medford (LIE to Exit 64 South, go about 1 mile, lounge is on the left right after the park/playground). Surfrod is one of the owners so I'm naturally going to recommend those. But not too far from Bethpage...

    Yes, it can. As long as the humidity is too high, mold can grow.

    From last night's Avril Levigne show. Was a tough concert to shoot because the band's management stuck the photos in the back of the venue. You try holding a camera with a 3lb lens at full arm extension...it's not easy!!!

    The sight I use does RMB block, however, it is still possible to do a screen capture and just crop the photo from that....which I've seen done before.

    Netflix kinda sucks...

    I use Netflix and Amazon Prime. I had Netflix when I used to travel for work because hotel TV sucks and I'm not renting movies from them. I'd just carry a cable with me and stream from my computer into the TV via wi-fi. My wife uses AP. I find it's mostly good for "let's see what's on here"...

    Yodis, to be honest, I hate having to watermark my photos. But as I am just a year into this, I have to do a lot of jobs for free just to get my name known and build whatever relationships that I can. As such, the only way I make money is by selling the pictures and most people aren't going to...

    H3rrington, those are some great pics. I agree with RAC about the watch picture. Was that shot with a high ISO by some chance? The shot of the log is really nice....I like the foreground defocus as well as the background boken. But what I really like about the picture is that part of the...

    Unfortunately, it was the best angle as the lake is surrounded by a very narrow walking trail and there wasn't really even a bank to speak of. Another few inches forward and I would have been standing in the lake and a few feet back, I'd have been standing knee deep in marsh. The tree in the...

    I do that because it's too easy to crop the watermark out of a picture unless it's directly centered over the subject. The site that I linked that from only has it on the webpage. If someone orders a print, it's sent without any watermarking at all. I would love to display my work without...

    I noticed this guy sitting on my patio when I went out for a smoke a couple months ago. He eventually moved to the little area in front of my patio and gave me a nice pose.
