Everything I know about exposure, I learned from Shanghai film packaging.
If there's a crazy man staring into the sun, shoot at f16.
If there's smog and a crazy man is about to be attacked by a shark, shoot at f11.
If it's smoggy and there are sky turds, shoot at f8.
If the sky turds are higher than the sun, shoot at f5.6.
If you see a garden slug with a turd on its head, shoot it at f4.
If you're about to be run over by a docking ocean liner, @##$@!

Tarn Hows is an area of the Lake District National Park, containing a picturesque tarn, approximately 2 miles (3.2 km) northeast of Coniston and about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) northwest of Hawkshead. It is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the area with over half a million visitors per year in the 1970s and is managed by the National Trust.
The Tarn Hows area originally contained three much smaller tarns, Low Tarn, Middle Tarn and High Tarn.
Tarn Hows was designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest in 1965.
The National Trust have made a number of more recent changes to the area including moving the car parks to a less obtrusive place in the 1960s and general footpath and road improvements to minimize the damage caused by the visitors. In May 2008 a building designed to harmonise with the landscape was opened, providing toilets and an information display under a sedum green roof.

I "9shot" the photos at the same time I was shooting slow-mo HD video which can be seen here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ga7aj6rMKe4
Enjoy!
Shot at the Huntington Beach pier in Southern California!
The slow-mo HD video was shot with a new Panasonic HDC-TM900K 32GB Internal Flash Memory High Definition Camcorder, 1920 x 1080 HD, which was mounted next to my Canon Ti3 via my 9shooter bracket, and zoomed out at 20x (which pretty much matched the Canon ti3 with the 150-500 zoom at 500 mm).
The HD video was then slowed down to 24p from 60p in post, using adobe premiere 5.5.
Kelly Slater was amazing! So cool to capture the Canon stills & HD video @ the same time wth the 9shooter. :) Rock on Kelly! He was simply super-human out there!
These actual pics of my 9shooter rig are HDR, shot with a Sony Alpha 550.
Me without any filters. I am wearing a little makeup, however (eyeliner and mascara, and lipstick that's it).
Always observe how ephemeral and worthless human things are. Pass then through this little space of time conformably to nature, and end thy journey in content, just as an olive falls off when it is ripe, blessing nature who produced it, and thanking the tree on which it grew.

Within a cell, lysosomes help with recycling and waste removal through a number of pathways. Rich in powerful enzymes that can break down molecules and even entire organelles and bacteria, lysosomes fuse with sacs carrying cellular debris (via autophagy) or pathogens from outside the cell (via phagocytosis). The enzymes chop up the contents into recyclable bits, such as single amino acids, which are then released into the cell for reuse. Any undigested material is shuttled outside of the cell through exocytosis.
Graphic illustrates the process by which lysosomes recycle or get rid of waste in a mammalian cell, through autophagy, phagocytosis and exocytosis.

How to sew like Danny Mansmith:
By Alexis Ortiz
Decide on a piece of fabric. Cut the fabric or not, depending on whether you have a size or shape in mind. Lets say you don’t, or haven’t thought that far (I haven’t). Choose a color thread… or just use what’s already loaded and start [to sew]. You may want to sketch an image of something (anything, it could change later) or not… it can be completely “free-hand”. Remember: this is not “free-motion”. The dog-feet should still be up and then there’s the knee lift that you’ll have to engage over and over again, that slightly lifts the presser foot so you can get some of those tighter turns/switchbacks. And voila! 5-10 years later you’re sure to be amazing! Just like Danny Mansmith!
This is an assumption mind you; you will have to sew a lot almost everyday of the week and it’ll also help if your machine is an industrial because more often than not you will be sewing through multiple layers of fabric, paper, vinyl, leather and/or interfacing.
After all our exploring was done today, we ran a few errands and bought the girls a Slip-n-Slide. The three of them played all afternoon.

A few weeks ago I met up with a couple of guys from flickr Voluntary Ranger & Steve Liptrot at Tarn Hows in the English Lake District. We had a great day out, the weather was kind and the views were amazing.
Tarn Hows is an area of the Lake District National Park, containing a picturesque tarn, approximately two miles (3.2 km) northeast of Coniston and about one and a half miles (2.5 km) northwest of Hawkshead. It is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the area with over half a million visitors per year in the 1970s and is managed by the National Trust.

Dussehra commemorates the victory of good over evil. It is the day when Lord Rama killed the ten headed demon king Ravana. People throughout India celebrate the auspicious occasion of Dussehra in their own way. Each region has its own specialty. In several regions burning of effigy of Ravana and his subordinates takes place that symbolizes the power of goodness is above all kind of evil powers. As Lord Rama fought a battle of ten days with demon king Ravana to rescue his abducted wife, the day of his victory is called ‘Vijaya Dashmi’ which means the tenth day of victory. It is believed that it is not only the victory of Lord Rama over Ravana but it is the victory of mankind. So the day is celebrated with great religious fervor and believed that whenever evil power will try to rule humanity, God will appear to rescue His devotees.
Flickr user JeremyHall left me a comment on my 'Freezer' photo asking me to post some information on what post-processing I did in his new group, 'How I Did It'... so I am doing just that!
The final photo can be seen here.
I started with three separate images taken with the Canon 40D. I was using Auto Exposure Bracketing, with the camera set to take exposures at -2,0,+2 EV.
(Side note for 40D users! The exposure bracketing on the 40D won't go any further that +-2, but one cool thing that I've found is that you can rotate the control wheel so your middle exposure is set to -2, and your three bracketed shots will actually be -4,-2,0 EV. Scroll the wheel all the way to the other end of the spectrum and you'll have +4, +2, 0 EV... so effectively you've taken five shots between -4 and +4 with two shutter presses!)
So I took those three exposures and used Photoshop to automatically align them. I shot these with a timer on a tripod, so there was no movement between shots... but in cases where there is movement, I find Photoshop does a much better job than Photomatix at aligning the images.
Save that as a tif, open in Photomatix for tonemapping. Really I have found that every photo requires different settings in Photomatix, but all the sliders and options are laid out in plain view so it's very easy to experiment. Recently I've found that I like to 'over-HDR' the image and then selectively scale it back in Photoshop. So the photo labeled 'Photomatix Tonemap' in the image above was really never meant to be seen by anyone other than me :D I dislike that kind of overdone-HDR shot, and if I wasn't planning on doing any other work after tonemapping, I would have set the overall HDR effect much lower. HDR can really help a shot with a wide range of tones, from dark to light... but the downside is all the extreme highlights and shadows are kind of being evened out, which can make things look flat (to me). For example, look at the ceiling in the image labeled 'Photomatix Tonemap' above. The ceiling is nice and detailed, but it also appears that it's getting just as much light as the freezer in the foreground (which you can see is not the case from the original photos). More on this later.
I saved the tonemapped image to another tif, and brought it into Lightroom. There I changed some things which might seem strange. I took the color saturation of the image almost to zero. Then I made large adjustments to the 'Camera Calibration' section to give a cyan cast to the entire image. Then I worked with the 'Split Toning' section to make the shadows a dark blue-purple, and the highlights a yellow-green. I adjusted the tone curve a little bit and saved these adjustments to a preset called 'Decay Cold'.
I applied those presets to the original '0 EV' shot, so I had one blue-green colored tonemapped image (labeled 'Lightroom Adjusted' in the image above) and one blue-green colored original photo (labeled '0 EV Lightroom Adjusted' in the image above).
I brought both of them into Photoshop, placed the HDR shot as the top layer, and added a mask to it. Then I chose a brush with a low hardness setting and started painting over the areas I didn't want such an extreme amount of 'HDR-look'. You can see from the mask that I got rid of a lot of the HDR effect on the front of the freezer, on the ceiling, and on the back wall. I left the most HDR effect in the ice, because I thought it looked awesome :D Lastly, I placed a Brightness/Contrast adjustment layer over everything and used a gradient mask to apply it only to the ceiling - to darken it up. I think this brings back the sense of depth in the shot.
This was by far the most post-processing work I've done on a photo, but it paid off, since it became my most commented on, most favorited, and most interesting photo according to Flickr!
