#54714 - 03/13/09 09:25 PM Tips [Re: Warren_Polidori]
Warren_Polidori Knife Enthusiast Registered: 02/25/08 Posts: 1456 Loc: Westhampton, NY	This is a very important tip for those who choose to shoot out of Auto Mode. In Auto Mode the camera thinks it's smarter than you, prove it wrong! This tip will contribute to sharper photos and may be one of the best basic tips you can ever remember. Lens aperture has a sweet spot that is not too open and not too closed. It generally gives the best results all other considerations being equal. I love this site and I will post more tips in the near future. http://www.adorama.com/Catalog.tpl?op=academy_new&article=091507 Best, Warren Edited by warren_polidori (03/13/09 09:47 PM)

7033grip Knife Enthusiast Registered: 10/10/05 Posts: 5148 Loc: Winter Haven, Florida	About 20 years ago we worked with an old Director of Photography who had been a combat photographer in WW2. At lunch we were asking him about how he had time to take meter readings with all the action going on around him. His response was "I shot the entire war at between f5.6 and 8."

tglassco Knife Enthusiast Registered: 05/22/07 Posts: 1970 Loc: Gator Country	Here are a few photos of a pair of eagles Dubie had the privilege of capturing with his new digital camera. I think they function as an early warning system. Maybe Dubie can tell us more about them.

It appears that the eagle on the left must be the female since she's really giving the other one a hard time. Looks like she's saying "rabbit, why do you just bring home rabbit? Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit. How about bringing home a nice bass once in a while!" Best, Warren

7033grip Knife Enthusiast Registered: 10/10/05 Posts: 5148 Loc: Winter Haven, Florida	You guys aren't only funny, but you're right. The female is on the left. I call them Helen and Bob..."Yellin" Helen and "Bobs" his head. They were also named for Helen and Bob Eastman, two old friends who were big Audubon people here in Winter Haven. This Panasonic Lumix with the 483mm zoom Leica lens is a really nice inexpensive camera. These shots were taken about 120 feet from the base of the tree, and they are about 35 feet in the air.

#54723 - 03/15/09 08:00 PM Space Shuttle [Re: tomthbomb]
tglassco Knife Enthusiast Registered: 05/22/07 Posts: 1970 Loc: Gator Country	At 7:43 PM (EDT) The Space Shuttle lifted off from the Kennedy Space Center. These photos were taken from my front yard in St. Augustine which is probably 90 miles from the launch pad. That's one big rocket After separation of the solid fuel booster rockets On it's Way Attachments 57032-100_3223(Small).JPG (94 downloads) Edited by tglassco (03/15/09 08:11 PM) _________________________ Tom RKS #5553
