Idiots? Here at PF.....never heard of such a thing!....well, maybe in some of those FF threads!

Here is what got Otis started on me to search out "artistic selfies" in this thread......Otis is apparently into "artsy photography" nowadays.

From over in Site Suggestions in the Content Warning thread....

"I agree, though a warning for selfies from the crowd over at "Why I won't buy a K-3..." might be in order.

Otis was sure this was a good place to hunt for original "artwork" selfies, but apparently I got here too late and now he is all upset that I was too slow.

They got taken down. It was fun while it lasted though. It was a few pages back.

Otis surfs on his own but lately he has been having trouble seeing well enough to surf....it appears that he needs some glasses.....reckon what brought that on?

Best Regards...Otis reminds that he always appreciates a PM if any "artistic photos" are posted here!

He can only search so much on his own, and any help is appreciated!

And who exactly is this Otis? Your Zeiss lens?

Squirrel commander? Any chance that Rupert is working in Sacred Heart Hospital as a janitor?

But don't you like the selfie I am using for my avatar? That's even my real hair!

Who is Otis???? WHO IS OTIS??? Seriously?

Shirley, everyone knows Otis. A man's man, a prince among princes. Bit of a rogue, I'll warrant and definitely the squirrel your mother warned you about. But a charmer beyond equal.

Please! Don't swell his little head with that kind of talk! He's already impossible to deal with and gets worse with every word of approval.

Otis liked your avatar, sees real potential, and asks if you are interested in a private audition for his 2015 Army of Squirrels calendar? You do what you want, but I'd advise against any dealing with Otis unless you can bring your mother with you and she is handy with a shotgun.

Otis.....not much rattles Otis or causes concern, not even a guy with a bunch of stuffed squirrels...Otis can reproduce faster than that guy can stuff 'em!

It's a tiring job,but somebody has to do it!

Regards!

I don't need no stinking K-3. I already have a wonder camera. It's called a K5II. Call me impressed! This is a very nice camera. Maybe it's the new lenses? Fast, sharp AF, in the freaking dark even? It does feel a bit heavier to me though. My arms are getting pretty tired and I've only been playing with it a little. I like the prime, but I think after playing with them both I actually like the 18-135 a bit more. This copy is nice. Very sharp, dead on focus and it's nice and quiet. You know it's funny but when I am using them I don't even notice how much louder the K-30's are. Not until I pick this one up and compare. K5II is so quiet and fast. It's a very different experience using it...

We've finally got the first snow in my part of Germany - sent our bamboo plants to the ground.

ZoeB · 12-27-2014, 06:08 AM

Hm, I wonder if all of europe is getting dumped right now. We've gotten about a metre of snow over just the last day or so, and back in tromsø, I've been hearing that there's so much new snow that EVERYTHING is avalanching, including the stuff that usually isn't steep enough.

normhead · 12-27-2014, 06:12 AM

That's perilously close to engaging with the real world... is that allowed intros thread.?I mean, it wouldn't be on topic (heaven forbid) but it would be on "a topic". Is it the original topic or all topics that aren't allowed here? I'm so confused.

And stop calling me "surely".
