Live view, just an FYI
Last night had to cover a story, with standing room only. I used the tripod, take notes, record, photography...yup. One busy beaver. So used live view instead of the viewfinder to frame my subjects. This was one + hour! and two and a half batteries. If you plan to use it extensively, plan to have extra batteries.
Yup, charging as I type.

To be honest. But I had no choice. That room was packed. I placed the recorder on a table and prayed. I got good sound. Floating on this, not possible either.
Outside of political scandals this is rare.
Photos were ok though.
Here, the crowd shot. Should have used remote, oh well (and lift the tripod)

Of all the town meetings I have attended, I have never once seen such excitement for a crowd this size before. She really doesn't get out much does she?

Nutcase nadin is back on the front lines of professional journalism, and wants to give the DUmpmonkeys a little taste of what it's like to be a pro. An unpaid, unread, internet blog pro:

Yup, not just a journo, not just a photog.
A pro combo journo/photog!
And Crazy Miriam gets all of that for the low, low price of zero.
Now she shares some of the nuts and bolts of photojournalism.
DUmmies are in awe:

And that one shot, taken with The Good Rig, gives you just a hint at what a gifted photog nadin is!
I feel like I'm right there in that crowd of California moonbats. Yup!
-
One busy beaver.
I really don't want to think about Nadin and "one busy beaver" in the same . . .. county, even.
-
Y'all understood what she was saying? I'm still lost.
-
Crunchy word salad.
-
Should have used remote. . . .
So are you saying, Nadin, that you weren't able to use the remote? Nadin, was there a guy there who kind of looked like a walrus?
-
Yup. Wtf is that? It's annoying.

With apologies to Reverend Charles (but you started it):

Oh Gawd. Gnads and a shaved beaver. I know I ain't sleeping now. :panic:

It looks like that one old guy is either sleeping or he's dead.

Nadin bored him to death. :lmao:
-

You think that's bad . . . try understanding what she says on tape, such as her 'test drive' in the new Cherokee at some auto show she was at a couple of months ago. Think Natasha from the old comics, in a monotone with some sort of mental illness.
:runaway: :runaway: :runaway:
(I can't take credit for that one--someone else here came up with it, or something like it. :cheersmate: )
-
Photag she ain't. Even I can take better pics than gnads and mine are awful.
Can't speak. Can't write. Can't photo. Just how in the world does she think she's going to be a "journo" when she grows up?
-

Look at ME! Look at ME!
-
That crowd is lily white. Was this a Klan rally? Nads should be ashamed of herself for neglecting this opportunity to point this out.
-
I noticed it was posted in the Photo Group.
I presume this is to avoid being bullied.
One thing stands out...she doesn't have a clue what she's doing. :loser:
I'd be ashamed to post a photo like that.

Yup.

I mean what the heck does that even mean?

Maybe an internship would be in order.
Let's start her out on assignment with stills of the flying squirrels !

She would find taking a pic of a rock to be a challenge.
The squirrels would drive her even further into manic depression. Not that it's bad, mind you. :lmao:

Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

That means she is not from Mexico. She's Brazilian. Clear white sands. Nude beaches. Nadin looking at Skull with bedroom eyes...
-

I dunno, but the guy is the green shirt is scowling about something..kinda cute too!! :-)
-
Only nadin could take a picture at eye-level in a room full of seated people.

Someone needs to Photoshop Gnads head onto Bo deriks beach scene

Is it possible to have retroactive nightmares back in my youth?

I have taken better shots with my cell phone.

You could probably take better shots with a potato.

I have taken better shots with my cell phone.
And she's using The Good Rig, a full-feature Nikon SLR.
nadin's as talented at photography as rsmithnumbers at bouncy tales or stevenumbers at picking up women.
-
The story is all about fire district funds. What a winning subject.

Same here.
I've taken video with my cell phone of Top Fuel and Funny Car drag races that look better than her stills. :lmao:

DH said that her photo is the photography equivalent of a negligent discharge. :rotf:

^5 Chas! You guys keep this up and I'm goin' to havta replace my keyboard! Sprayin' Johnny Walker on the keys tends to gum up the works! I see yer still in good form, bubba!

I was thinkin' more of an assignment about drones in Afghanistan from the terrorist's point of view.

gNads and the good rig...the early years.
