After you click the REPLY button, you'll get the "reply to thread" page where you type the text of your reply. If you scroll below that, you'll see an "Additional Options" section where you'll find a "manage attachments" button. (I'm not sure if very new members have this option or not.)

Can't remember but you can try to reply to as many thread as possible and see. Might only need 10 posts to get the 'Manage your attachment' function.

no such button
 

Yeah that button doesn't appear. Guess I need to comment a little more.

a little stilly goodness
 

50mm 1.8 (trash kit lens) Still love it though.

From yesterday...
 

Wife was backing out of the driveway, I was saying goodbye, she commented how dark the sky was, and that there was rotation. She drove away, next the air raid sirens went off. I looked out the window to see trash and debris floating in the sky. I opened some windows and doors to equalize the pressure. The phone rings, it's her screaming, "GET TO THE BASEMENT, THE TORNADO'S RIGHT ON TOP OF THE HOUSE!"



I followed her advice, went to basement and got the camera and started snapping pictures from the street. I was getting beaned by hailstones so I went inside, put on a motorcycle helmet and took some more. Safety first...

Tom, nice pic.
 

Here's another from a different vantage point of the same tornado. Don't you Denverites know you need to hide from twisters...

Thanks
 

We try to take shelter in a covered football practice facility where possible ;-)

I'm an old Dallas hometown boy. Went to Jesuit. Go Cowboys!

Nothing trashy about those pics though, sharp!

Hey Tom, the second I saw the top of the funnel cloud in your pic I thought to myself, "he must live in Colorado". Sure enough! That tornado was nuts, and the hail was huge. That's an awesome pick that you managed to grab.

Thank you Ryan.

Surprising thing was there was so little advance warning, the instant the sirens came on, it was already on top of us...

...and they shut off while it was still on the ground. Maybe they are just looking at radar, but someone dropped the ball on that one.

Holy cow, Tom, that's a remarkable shot!

Nothing trashy about it -- that's an L-series lens and it's worth about $1200.
It's a great lens, and it's the best L-series lens to bundle with the 5D2 kit.

You gotta be kidding, Tom, that's Insane.
Beautiful photo

Hey Chris,

Na it's not the "L." It's the left over kit lens that originally came with my Rebel XT. It nice and light, due the high quality plastics it's made of ;)

Actually I've always like it's bokeh, that's why I keep it around.

This weekend I rented a 85mm 1.2 L. WOW! Here's something at little test shot:

Endeavour on the pad (mild crop and tight crop) for STS-127.

Handheld w/IS, 105mm, f/8, 1/400, ISO 100, Standard profile, Auto WB.

Here's a small moth on the kitchen window at night.

Nikon 105/2.8 Micro AF (pre-G lens); fluorescent lighting; handheld; 1/60, f/3.5, 3200 ISO.

It took a number of shots to get this right. The position was awkward. Small movements would mess up the framing and move the focus plane, and I didn't have enough light to stop down further without adding motion blur or noise.

I love the eyes and beak.

Fun with long exposure and high ISO.

Tripod, 24mm, f/5.6, 8.0 sec., ISO 12800, Standard profile, Auto WB, Bulb Mode.

Polaris on the right, Cor Caroli on the left, Big & Little Dippers in between at about 9pm.
