TC pics from Sat
 

Went to my first Saints practice since the 80's yesterday. Had to leave early but I'll get back out there soon I hope.


Hey Carl, it feels like we're forgetting something here.

OH Yeah! Our 6 time All-Pro center.

Saints fans are going to love this guy. He's like faster more agile Mike Karney.

Look who's back.

i didn't get to see alot of the 11 on 11 but Sproles looked good. Ingram is a pure stud Carl Nicks is downright scary.

Casillas is so fluid and graceful you forget he's a LB.

And this guy is going to be a great FB/STer for us.

Ingram is like a brick with legs.

Cassillas was embarrasing any RBs he came up against in the pass protection drills.

Everybody talks about how small Drew is i wouldn't want him **** off at me.
http://boutte.smugmug.com/Other/Sain...ntsIMG2477.jpg

I could take this guy though.
http://boutte.smugmug.com/Other/Sain...ntsIMG2480.jpg

thanks boutte. nice pics or should say nice camera

Great pics, thanks!

Seriously though... what kind of camera you workin' with Boutte? Those are great pictures.

Thank you for those pics Boutte! Man they look great, plus the caps were nice

Thanks papz.

I am always amazed how big these guys are & how much punishment they can take - it would literally break me in little pieces!!

Can you tell us anything about how DT Tom Johnson #72 looks and performs on the field?

I saw him in background of at least one of the pictures, but I'm real interested
in hearing something concrete about him and none of the "official" camp reports
ever mention him. Could he be another Wake?

By the way, Tamron makes really good inexpensive lenses that perform great outdoors.
I have one at the moment and had another before that.

Oh, and excellent job with the pictures and captions!

Nice pics love em!

Sorry didn't really notice. There are so many new guys I spent half my time looking at the roster. Plus I had to leave early because my friend wasn't handling the heat too well.

Thanks for the compliment. I love my Tamron. I have 3 other lenses but my Tamron never comes off.

Here's link to my site check it out. Boutte's Photos | SmugMug These are the only Saints pics I have but I have a lot of pics from around town.

Great Pics Boutte...

Wow, nice pictures from around town. I haven't been home in a long time and seeing pics like that, makes me miss home so much....
Thanks again for the updates from camp

Great Pics!! I want that shirt that SP is wearing!!!!!

That's OK. I'm just so hungry for any news and/or updates on his performance. I guess with
all the other big name moves on the D-Line, it's natural that he doesn't get mentioned in
any of the reports.... or it might be that he is not that good at the NFL level. Regardless,
I'm silently hoping that he could surprise us all and be a real sleeper-gem, who could
potentially take over next season when some of these 1-year guys might leave the team.

Those were some great pictures! When I take my camera with me, I never leave home
without my 70-300mm f/4.0-5.6 Di Macro. Although I have some more expensive and
supposedly better ones too, it seems I still somehow prefer Tamron's versatility over the others.

The image stabilization is outstanding.

Nice work, Boutte! I'm a photo buff myself ... just no time right now. Qbrees might could get you a field pass... :bng:

Yeah, I mean there is some color saturation compared to for example canon's own lenses, but overall it's
nothing that can't be corrected with a little photoshopping and I do like the overall versatility like I
mentioned - I can take good long range pictures while still having the possibility of using the
macro to get really nice looking close-ups. It's really great when you're taking nature shots to have
that versatility without having to carry more than one lens with you, which can become quite cumbersome.

Great job Boutte. The pics are incredible. I hope to see more. I have not been back in NOLA since the Super bowl win, damn govt.

One thing I notice about a lot of shots people post is that they're posting the pics as they were straight out of the camera. Most of these are tightly cropped, sharpened and I adjusted the levels. For example
This,
http://boutte.smugmug.com/Other/Sain...sIMG2620-M.jpg
came from this.
http://boutte.smugmug.com/Other/Sain...MG2620sm-M.jpg

Digital cameras blow my mind. No dark rooms, chemicals, and thousands of dollars of equipment. Plus I had enough memory to take over 2000 pictures if I wanted to so you can just it on continuous shoot and snap off 4shots a second.

Most excellent Boutte

These big guys can really move

How could someone as big and ugly as 69 ever be cut from a football team?

How many points are standing there?

Coach 'em up JV
http://boutte.smugmug.com/Other/Sain...O/aIMG2451.jpg

Didn't like his resigning, but at least he'll provide adequate backup if something happens to the starters.

You would think Ingram or Herring would beat him out. If they don't then we all need to just admit we don't have a clue. I usually defend Shanle but I think it's time to upgrade.

We need to keep this guy.

great pics, boutte. im at work trying not to holler out like sonny the cookoo bird. woohaoohahooo hoo hooo ha hoo. im cuckoo for football season!!!
