///M5

I was a mega noob in Dec, but am getting somewhere. Too much to absorb without practice though and just shooting pics of Aidan isn't particular good practice as half the time you are trying to get an expression more than worrying about the rest of things.

I definitely take too many shots, but use each one to try and figure something out. Understanding exposure isn't as trivial as one would think before trying.

Aidan just played the tuba with his ass on my lap. I know whats's keeping him up.

Bah. Real cameras don't need a computer. *still loves his old school film* Once I know how to use it sure, but for now it would really help me see how what changes when I change settings. Mostly a learning tool.

No manual focus, just spot focus. Those were shot in P meaning it had the stop as tight as possible which isn't particularly great on that lens anyway. The problem with the 50mm is the space that I have to shoot it, not the lens. It is an F1.4

Aidan won't sleep Poor little guy.

Couldn't tell from the viewfinder exactly what the polarizer was doing either, need the pc for that.

Obviously if you don't click on them they are really not sharp

My classic problem. Everything is centered No editing here.

Agreed completely. I wanted sunrise, but got there too early. I had to this morning as I wanted the polarizer on the lens and I am loaning that lens to my parents for their trip to Italy. Shooting at a fixed 50mm is now my only option which is not ideal for where I have good backgrounds. This was sort of a test as it is 2 blocks my house Reflections washed out in editing as it was too dark to see anything otherwise. wait for ligh\t!! The wheels turned the wrong way were done as a test shot. 2 second exposure shot from the ground with no tripod...fuzzy is expected. I did reshoot it a bit later but the focus is worse. Boo viewfinder. I've never shot a car before with a "real" camera and realized one thing for sure. I should bring my pc & a tripod next time and still be in a place where I can use shorter exposures than 1/5 sec. Hard to balance the handicapped parking spot, the park sign, the neighbors boat, the big ass fence, and the big hunk of torn up concrete. Better than any pictures I had of the car before though *criticism considered helpful I've only had a camera since December.

Just made 8 quarts of roasted tomatoes, canned 6 quarts, canned 8 quarts of salsa and still have fresh tomatoes for the rest of the week

thanks though

you should post pics in fact,

Exactly how my career started Stupid question: are most auto sales positions 100% commission or what...they were pretty vague... Bonus, commission, and some base. Can vary all over the board. Personally I preferred straight commission, but considering the economy I am not so sure that I'd be super psyched about that being new right now.

Perhaps some goals would help and at least a range for budget otherwise you'll get subjective answers that aren't focused on your needs.

im pretty new to this, im going to have to research how to tune a box and such. also i listen to just about anything: metal, psychedelic, hardcore rap, stoner rap, drum and bass, chillout, reggae, dub, electronica, etc. err, ie pop

i can't agree

Exactly how my career started

Yummy.
