Who is who
 

Good evening,

Through the course of the year I got glimpses of a few of our uwolers.

I would love to have a glimpse of everyone that participated.

So, I am starting with an attached picture of myself.

I hope that the rest of you will join in!!!!

May you have a merry christmas.

What a great idea Dale, and good evening to you too.
Here I am and my house is just one of those behind me.

Hi,
this is me in one of those magical moments :-)
Thanks everybody for wonderful year at the uwol-challenge!

This I....
 

This is closest I got to looking like a real nature videographer....

OK, this is me Brazil. Happy Holidays to you all. Bob Safay

Nice rig! If that's a 503 head it's identical to mine ;) I recognize the camera (of course) and the legs ;)

Thats me, my brother Jim and my baby brother Jim

Hi all,
On wildlife filming and waiting,do that sometime!!!!

Hey, great idea, Dale.
Nice when we have a face in addition to only the names.

The one of me is from the top of the highest mountain at my hometown.
The valley is what I am filming in the other photo.

How do I put the picture on the page??

Hi Dale.
When you reply to a tread there is additional options under the box you are writing/typing into.
Click the button "Manage Attachments" and you'll get a new box where you can upload your photo.
Hope this make sence :)

Geir Inge

Dale,
rename your Dale G.bmp to DaleG.jpg and you done!

Note that you should name your files without any white spaces in the filenames. Even if it works with whitespaces!

dale is exactly not known for his strict adherence to naming conventions!

sorry, dale, i could not resist!

my upload keeps getting rejected, will try later....

Oh go on then.....One from earlier this year doing some diving at 'Stoney cove' or rather 'Stoney cold' in the UK.

just trying to place a picture on the page.

awright, let's try this again. this is the only shot i have of me actually shooting, and it's stills rather than video. unbeknownst to me (i was just working...), this very kind stranger who told me he was a DP in LA took this photo and asked me for my e-mail so that he could send it. and a week or so later, he e-mailed it to me. i was amazed that he actually followed through. i've always liked this picture, mostly because it reminds me of a moment of random generosity and thoughtfulness. with balloons.

Hi everybody

Merry Christmas for all

Gilles

Greetings from Ventura, California. I have to say, that the people in this group are the greatest, and I'm looking forward to 2008 to continue the communication and dialog with you all. Here I am at 13,000 feet in Ecuador on a paid assignment, with the Antisana Volcano towering in the background. Best wishes and Happy Holidays to everyone.

Hi to you wonderful UWOLERS
 

Photo of me with two of my boys (third one on a computer somewhere). We do have some great times together sitting and whispering all sorts of things to each other as we wait for the shot to happen.

My oh my! Everyone in UWOL is quite stud-like and handsome... that includes you too Meryem! I'm impressed!

Looking forward to the kick off in February!

Cat

"stud-like" --that's a good one, Cat. actually, it was more like "had to be up at 5am to drive to Erie without coffee..."

i didn't even have time to shave, har!

where's your piccy, Cat??

Hi Meryem:

5 a.m. without coffee and a shave? Like I said... stud-like!

My picture? I'll look around for something.... I'm sorely tempted to throw up something quite stud-like doing something rather daring... but I don't do much of those things anymore! Most likely I'll find a picture of me holding a duck or something!

Off to find something....

Cat

Come on Cat - were all waiting for that shot of yours!

Well, it has now occurred to me that if you are running around with the camera you don't tend to be in the picture! I located 3 pics to my name... one with me hanging off a tower (which I don't do anymore so I nixed that one), one with me looking into the camera with blood shot eyes (but very happy!) after being up all night with my husband delivering twins (goats that is!) and then this one where I'm holding Henry a Rouen male duck. Sorry, not looking into the camera but it's about the best I can do! Oh well, got to keep some mystery in it all, right? ;-).

All the best to everyone in 2008 and a fun year of filming and sharing film!

Cat

No need to say sorry, Catherine! It's a good photo.
Amazing that Henry the duck accepted to be held like that.

Yes, I agree with Trond, it is a lovely photo.

All the very best to you also in 2008.

Hi Trond and David:

Always great to hear from you two! Trond, your comment about how amazing it was that Henry would allow himself to be held like that.... well to be honest, he wasn't exactly enjoying himself. He was actually shaking like a leaf but he deserved it... he was goosing the chickens!

David, I'm beginning to think "kind and gracious" is your signature trademark!

Can you believe it's so close to our first go around for 2008? And Meryem promises an "easy" theme to kick off the season! But then again, the description "easy" kind of worries me ... ;-).

Cat

Hi Catherine.
Very nice photo of you and the duck.
Even if we are located at different places of the world, it's great to have a face to put on everyone participating in uwol.
After the "night" the February issue just have to look a little brighter when it comes to uwol, at least over here n Norway the days are getting longer/now we have around 5 hours of daylight :)
And I'm sure Meryem will host up an "easy" task for us to play too.

Geir Inge

Hi Geir:

Nice to hear from you too! How is the night job going? Are you getting more rest than you were at the end of last year? I hope so. You'll need your energy up for all that great filming you're going to do this year. Looking forward to this!

Cat

Well, in the photo he was hiding the shaking very well. :)

Less than a month left to UWOL7 - season 2.
2 months without a challenge is a long time to wait.
It will be so much fun getting started again.

Tronde,

I am already getting anxious about the February topic. Even most of our snow has left and it is kind of ugly and dirty looking out there in the wilds. We are also do for a 30 below zero snap at any time!!!

We only have snow up in the mountains so far.
Here at the coast, it's just rain, rain and more rain, so yeah, it's mostly a brown colored nature here these days. Wouldn't mind a little snow for a change.
30 below freezing? Ouch, find all your warm clothes, Dale!

Might as well join in the fun
 

This is me captaining my brand new (old) sail boat on lake Tahoe...Still learning to sail but dang I look cool, eh? :)

Had a look down the thread, and thought I could add myself. But then it took a while to find the photo - the only one I have, taken when I was leading a natural history trip to Greece. The scarce swallowtail butterfly landed on my finger, and someone had a camera handy. Let's see if I can work out how to attache the picture to the post!

Now, I'd better get back to work, so that when the weather does clear, I have time to take a camera out - maybe stills, maybe video . . . . . . . .

Hello All:

This an excellent thread I'll dig out a picture shortly and post it. I've been out of touch for sometime now. I'm back after installing a new power supply, mother board and RAM not that I wanted to but following a batch of serious power failures I ended up with a fried computer. I'll keep this short but want to post a warning more or less. We were out of town, computer was off and plugged into a surge protector, my printer was accidentally left on all other items off. During our absence the local power supplier had some serious problems with one of the generators which caused long brown outs and power out conditions. We returned from our travels to a dead computer nothing absolutely dead. Packed it up and dropped it off to the local geek after hours or messing around...conclusion during the brown outs etc. power goes up the USB connection into the mother board and presto you need a MB and power supply. The new board is an upgrade so required different ram.

So I'm back and ready for the next challenge.

PS: Dale I'll get those pictures to you shortly.

Brian

Kinda late getting mine in here. This was taken by one of the friends I have coffee with once a week. All of them are both retired military and retired Civil Service.

I had just bought a Kodak Z740 5MP with 10X zoom as a "knockaround" camera and it was being passed around so everyone could have a look at it.

One of them snapped this as it came by him.

Not much use really, but this is me in Dorothea Quarry.

This is me : >

Don't really have an "filmy" shots of me online, but I did a little piece to camera last year - it was very much UWOL inspired actually ;-)

And it makes me think that spring isn't too far around the corner......
