I have used Pinnacle Studio extensively as well as Cyberlink Power Director and dabbled with Adobe Premier Pro. All have a bit of a learning curve, but for ease of use, I would probably lean towards Powerlink CyberDirector or Pinnacle Studio. But if yo're looking for complete control and awesome workflow, none are better than Adobe Premier. All you need is a thick wallet.

Thanks everyone! To be honest, you all already made me feel like a part of this big dysfunctional family. I guess this just makes it official. I'm an IDIOT!

Happy Birthday Black Rose!

Just got home from a couple of days on the boat. Practice a little BIF (Bird In Flight) with my Canon 5D MK III and Canon 100-400 f/4.5-5.6L IS USM. As appropriate for Memorial Day, I give you the symbol of these great United States Of America. Always remember those who have sacrificed everything so that we may enjoy our freedom. A couple of shots of a male Banded Kingfisher. If you have ever tried to take a shot of one of these buggers flying at warp speed, you'll appreciate that I got it even close to being in focus. An Osprey hit right next to the boat and I was totally not ready. This is a 'grab' shot as it came up with a Sunfish. Not perfectly in focus, but interesting nonetheless. Last but not least three consecutive shots of a Bald Eagle snagging a fish from the water. These are major crop shots as this eagle was easily 100 yards or more away....so they are far from perfect.

There goes the neighborhood, right?

My mother has been saying the same thing for 54 years.

Yes, a very nice greeting from Sally on TS.

We're missing you too, buddy. Get back here soon!

Very nice!

Seems the snakes are finally out since the rain stopped and its finally warming up. I guess they were getting water logged.....interesting considering its a water snake

Damn Virginia drivers! Oh wait....... Right on NJ, well done. Did this happen in TN? They should ban Virginian's from TN (everyone but me)...

Was walking down the path in the woods behind my house today...and I had this creepy feeling I was being watched. My first thought was that Sally or Sephiroth were stalking me. But then, there it was..20 feet up, in a hole dug out of a true by..whatever. So I shot it.....with my camera.

Welcome CW4, enjoy playing with you!

Excellent. This is one place I think I can actually kill him....

Congrats, beautiful family.! Thank goodness he got his looks from his mommy.

Ayaq, Gonna miss you for sure. I hope your temporary relocation is the first step to better things in life. I will keep a 'nade' handy to welcome you back in style with (although the way I have been throwing them lately, I'll probably catch it myself) Don't be a stranger and shoot us a message from time to time. 'Til we frag again..... Be safe out there.

A few random shots from my trip to the Florida Keys last week. I miss being there already....

Glad you're okay. Sorry about the ride. Damn Canadian drivers!

Welcome! Enjoyed playing with you last night.

A man, feeling poorly, goes to his doctor for an examination. The doc performs lots of tests, takes blood and urine samples, etc. He sends the man home, and tells him to come back next week. At the next appointment, the man says, "So Doc, what's wrong with me?" "Well, I'm afraid it's not good: you've got HAGS." "HAGS? What the hell is HAGS?" The Dcotor says, its a combination of "Hepatitis, AIDS, Ghonorea, and Syphilis." "Oh no! What are we going to do?" The Doctore replies, "Well, first thing we've got to do is get you checked into the hospital. After that, we're going to put you on a diet of Flounder and pancakes." That sounds unusual, the man says, is it going to help? The Doctor replies, "Hell if I know, but it's the only thing that will fit under the door!"

A man walked into the produce section of his local supermarket, and asked to buy half a head of lettuce. The boy working in that department told him that they only sold whole heads of lettuce. The man was insistent that the boy ask his manager about the matter. Walking into the back room, the boy said to the manager, "Some asshole wants to buy half a head of lettuce." As he finished his sentence, he turned to find the man standing right behind him, so he added, "and this gentleman kindly offered to buy the other half." The manager approved the deal, and the man went on his way. Later the manager said to the boy, "I was impressed with the way you got yourself out of that situation earlier. We like people here who think on their feet. "Where are you from, son?" "Canada, sir," the boy replied. "Well, why did you leave Canada?", the manager asked. The boy said, "Sir, there's nothing but whores and hockey players up there." "Really?" said the manager. "My wife is from Canada." "No shit?" replied the boy. "Who'd she play for?"

Grats Wacky!
