barrymclark Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 It has treated me quite well, quite well indeed! For anyone that didn't notice... take another look at the TRC on the H450. its actually a small trans black piece of flamed maple, bound, and in the shape of the Heritage Headstock Oh yeah. I saw that when Brent first got this guitar. That is a very cool TRC for sure! You got yourself a keeper!
Steiner Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 There are some odd TRCs on here. A few of the old bell-shaped have 3 fasteners rather than the (more common?) 2. The Parsons Street looks a lot like Gumby dammit! Fun stuff. Kuz - is that a Golden or Super Eagle?
chico Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 nice nice nice.. as bird says, the red ring would be the "L" series of glass Canon offers. the pro series. every camera kit needs a 50mm/1.4 lens. with a Canon 60D body, the sensor is slightly smaller than the pro body ($$) sensors, making your lenses (and mine w/a 20D, Canon's 2004 model) effectively a slightly 'longer' lens, multiplying your 50mm x the 1.6 factor makes it, effectively, a 80mm focal length. Since 50mm is considered 'normal' focal length, at least in the photographic community I belong to (that being rail-photography), you might also consider acquiring a Canon 17-40mm lens. The L version is a good buy, coming in at about 600 bucks. The effective focal length converted by the 1.6 factor makes that a 27-64mm lens. Not 'fisheye' on the short end (27mm), but wide enough to get in those tight spaces (check out my shots from the factory tour/PSP III) and still able to lengthen to the 'normal' 50mm range.. now, if I can just find the extra cash to pickup a Canon 75-200mm L series.. nice call on the camera for the Mrs., tell her the shots are excellent.. see you guys next summer..good Lord willing

Seems like nature photography is her favorite thing, so I think the 100mm f/2.8 Macro is next... and then further down the road either the 70-200mm L or the 300mm f/4 L, along with a 1.4x and/or 2x extender... we are leaning more towards the 70-200mm 2.8 as it seems like the 300mm at f/4 could be a tad too slow over a 2x... but a 600mm focal length does sound pretty sweet! (the 300mm 2.8 is well outside of my foreseable camera spending comfort level!) Er, uhmm, please forgive the momentary camera talk thread hijack
High Flying Bird Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 The 70-200 f-2.8 IS is the best lens they make.
chico Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 The 70-200 f-2.8 IS is the best lens they make. by "IS", bird is referring to "image stabilization" which is a great feature in lenses esp. if you hand-hold your camera. the longer the lens, the more supcessible it is to shake, therefore 'image stabilization' is an important feature unless you always use a tripod. as for f stops, obviously the lower the number, as in 1.4 or 4 or 5.6, the 'faster' the lens is..kinda backwards, but it's the reason they cost more. for the non-photogs out there, faster lenses are desireable in low-light situations, as in nature shooting. Or, Heritage Guitar shooting (keeping it relevant to this board) on dark stages.. make sure to mention to the Mrs. that she'd be best off shooting in "raw" format, not jpeg. raw files are the digital negatives and have a +2 or -2 f-stop adjustment capability, thus saving many shots that may have been under exposed. and no, raw files are not porno. ok, back to your Heritage headstocks..

I'd tend to disagree, unless you have the time (and inclination!) to mess around with raw files. I tend to shoot jpegs as both my Nikon D700 and the Fuji S5Pro that I previously used both produce very good quality jpegs, and when I'm shooting at a concert I'll typically shoot around 150 images. The great thing with digital is you can see right away if your photo is correctly exposed, and I'd imagine that most DSLRs can show the histogram if you don't trust the monitor on the camera. If the photo is over/under exposed, just delete it and take another! This could be another "single coil vs. humbucker" debate - "raw" vs. "jpeg"!

Steiner Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 The Florentine Golden Eagle Sweet! Does this count? Heavens Yes! It counts twice!!!

gary0313 Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 Sorry to continue the photo talk hijack a little longer, but does anyone have any tips on getting scanned prints into HOC posts? I'm still shooting film and haven't been able to get them to load after I scan them into Photoshop.
bobmeyrick Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 Sorry to continue the photo talk hijack a little longer, but does anyone have any tips on getting scanned prints into HOC posts? I'm still shooting film and haven't been able to get them to load after I scan them into Photoshop. Once the photo has been scanned, you can treat it like a digital photo. Are the scanned files the correct size? When I've attached files I've made them around 800 pixels longest dimension. Resize them and save as a "High" quality jpeg, then attach to your post. If you want to insert the image into the post, it needs to be out there on the web already. The one below (me with my Heritages and the Meyrick Manobier at Mark555's house) is from my Facebook page. Click on the "insert image" icon and enter the image URL. The image will be inserted at the cursor. Best of luck!
bobmeyrick Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 Hmmmmmm! Well why not? There are three Heritage headstocks in there, though none of them are fancy!
barrymclark Posted September 25, 2011 Posted September 25, 2011 Crap. Photo didn't attach. I'll try later.
barrymclark Posted September 25, 2011 Posted September 25, 2011 NOW.... here's my badge. It's a fatty. It's the girth, fellas; it's the girth.
