OK Nikon Samuari's!

[mtbbrian]

So the other group photographers with this "so called camera" has come up with a name of their own and a logo too.
So I think we should come up with a logo too.
We were first in organizing ourselves.
So I challenge all of you Nikon Samuari's to come up with a logo for us!

Samurai's are known for being warriors. So, is there an artist in the group?
My artwork consists of stick people, which is why I photograph and don't draw or paint!
:-O

Something cool.
Something that represents the warrior spirit.
Something that shows what it means to be Nikon Samurai.

I own both. Does that make me a clan 'o samuari?

That makes you confused! (And me too for that matter)

Why, pray tell, do you own both?

I have met one photographer who used both. Met him at an airshow. He used a Nikon F5 for the bulk of his photography (with a 500mm f4 on a Wimberly head), but he used a Canon EOS 3 for handheld subjects because Nikon's old VR technology wasn't up to Canon's IS. I must admit, I'm curious if he's still using both, or if he sold his Canon gear to buy some of the new Nikon VR lenses.

But I digress. Please, do tell us why you have both.

(You can sell those Canon thingies on Ebay you know.) :-O

Hey Arctirus - I think we should start our own club! Uh oh, now I'm in trouble with both...

I'm mostly a Nikon shooter but also have a old Canon rangefinder. Nikon did make rangefinders a long time ago (and recently re-released them as collector's items) but they're a little pricey. My Canon is a poor man's Leica...

Technically, I own both too...But my Canon is just a p&s...My real camera is NIKON

Once you come up with the logo, I can get us a good deal on embroidered shirts. One of my students parents owns a place that does the custom shirt and hat thing and won't charge a set up fee for the artwork.

I remember you! You posted some great landscape shots, and an eagle shot or two.

You are officially Nikon Samurai #15.

Welcome Samurai! The list will be updated at the Nikon Samurai Headquarters.

You also have a distinguished lineage! Manual, autofocus and digital Nikons. Impressive! I started with a N80, bought a K1000 for astrophotography work (couldn't afford a manual Nikon at the time), and recently bought a used F5. And I still see a D70 in my future...

Welcome back to the forum!

I was gonna say - "Where's the beef !!??"

If these guys can get their act together and make a better logo, I might have to off my Canon gear and switch ;)

You know I'm all about style.

"If these guys can get their act together and make a better logo, I might have to off my Canon gear and switch"

How about them apples?

I hear KEH gives a pretty fair rate for Canon gear these days

[DownByFive]

I guess it's decided then...

[mtbbrian]

LOL John and Almo!
We just want honor to come upon ourselves and our camera equipment...
;)
LOL!

[Van A]

Great! Now how do I get the logo onto my signature?

[mtbbrian]

This is what you have to do..
You have to upload it somwewhere..
And then link it, via html coding.
If you look at the "tool bar above the box you type your signature in, you'll see the icon that is yellow with the mountain.
Click on that, and a window will pop up, cut and paste the url of where you posted the image.
Make sense?
Let me know!

Done

"And then link it, via html coding."
OK, I understand linking it.

If you look at the "tool bar above the box you type your signature in, you'll see the icon that is yellow with the mountain.

This is where I'm obviously lost. Are you going to the "My Account" and then "Signature"? Because when I go there, I don't see any yellow or any mountain icons.

I'm HTML illiterate buddy, so I'm going to need more detailed instructions that this.

Yes, you have to be there. In edit signature, on "My Account".
Got it?
