Taken a few weeks back when good friends Joe, Ted and I went to the state fair.
While Ted and Joe were busy taking long exposure night shots of the lights at the fair, I went shooting for candids, like always. I am not much of a landscape shooter as you can probably tell by the photos on my stream, so this is the closest 'fair shot' you can get =)
It's funny that some, if not most, of the things I know about photography are from what I have read, and not so much by practical experience. Take for example the relationship between aperture and DOF. Basic photography tells us that the bigger the aperture, the shallower the DOF is. But a lot of us are surprised that when we take shots of portraits at F/1.4 or F/1.8, the whole face is in focus. "I thought the dof is less than an inch at that aperture", you say as you scratch your head :p It's not til you actually start shooting more and learning from your experience that you learn that the distance between your subject and your camera comes into play, too.
I've always known that introducing flash 'freezes' your subject even at low shutter speed.
Have I tried it myself to really say with conviction that that is true? No.
But now I can scratch that off my list.
This was shot at 1/6 of a second as you can probably tell from the 'motion' on the Ferris Wheel behind Ted, but look at how sharp and infocus he is.
This was shot handheld, too. With one hand holding the camera.
My other hand was holding the flash off-camera.
Shot in E-TTL on a 580EXII zoomed at 105mm, -2 FEC.
Aperture: F/5.0
Shutter: 1/6 sec
ISO 100
Here's a question for you, if you made it this far.
You know your IS on your lens (VR on your Nikon glass, OS on your Sigma, VC on your Tamron) saves you 2-3 stops of camera shake, but have you actually tried it yourself? When you buy a new or used lens, how do you test your lens and make sure IS is working fine as it should? =)
The Surly Big Dummy is awesome. Climbing up the "M" trail was bit of work, but the Continental Diesel tires (2.5"), aired down in the rear to 25psi, climb like tractors. Switchbacks are the trickiest maneuver. Coming down it's all about the rear-wheel skid.

The Pontiac Aztek was a mid-size crossover, the first offered by General Motors, that was produced by Pontiac from the 2001 model year to the 2005 model year.
The vehicle was marketed to younger drivers who could picture the Aztek as complementary to an active outdoor lifestyle with fewer of the drawbacks perceived with traditional SUVs such as poor gas mileage, uncomfortable ride, high step-in height and vulnerability to roll-over. Television commercials portrayed the Aztek as an adult "My Buddy", able to go along for all sorts of adventures such as getting lost in remote southwest locations or as a sleep-in vehicle before an open fire in a municipal park.
In support of the Aztek's intended role as an accoutrement for a youthful, active lifestyle it offered a number of novel options/accessories, such as a center console that doubled as a removable cooler and a tent/inflatable mattress package that, along with a built-in air compressor, allowed the Aztek to double as a camper

There was a story making the rounds through the car blogs a few months ago about a camera company that was looking to build a camera car capable of keeping up with various supercars. They ended up using a Lamborghini Huracán.
"We had thought about using an Audi R8 V10 Plus, but that wouldn’t get us low enough to the ground and wasn’t agile enough, even though they’re pretty similar cars"
The duo also said the Ferrari FF was briefly considered for its ability to hold more production crew, but it would have lacked most of the benefits of the lower and more capable Huracan.
In other words, these folks did their research, thought long and hard, and decided, for what had to be the first time in history, that a Lamborghini was the practical choice.

I would love to hear what you think. Thanks!

Here Mr. Sludden demonstrates the practical process behind the manufacture of a simple thermoplastic clock.
He starts by cuting out the template from stiff card. He then transfers the design onto the back of the acrylic that has had a layer of masking tape applied. A biro or black pencil can be used. It is important that the line is clearly visable.
Next he demonstrates cutting methods using the coping saw and fret or scroll saws. Note his position in relation to the workpiece in these examples.
Next, edge finishing techniques. Start by selecting the appropriate file. Flat, half-round or round are appropriate here. Begin by cross filing then use drew filing to complete this stage. Then choose coarse [180 grit] then fine [400 grit] silicon carbide or wet & dry abrasive papers to smooth the edges further. Complete by applying a metal[!] polish like Brasso or T-Cut to really polish the edge.
Next assembly. We used double sided tape here because the surfaces are not load bearing. In other designs we would recommend Acrylic Cement or sometimes Super Glue. These are fraught with difficulty and need careful masking for best results.
Next drill a 10mm hole to accomodate the clock mechanism. Use a step drill for best results. Clamp the workpiece to the drill table to avoid slippage.
Assemble clock mechanism using the array of components provided.
If necessary create a stand. Mr. Sludden demonstrates the use of the Strip Heater and Plastics Oven towards the end of this sequence. Attach to back of clock using cement. Mask first. Thermoplastic properties evident from photos provided.

Audience members learn best practices at a "Nonprofit Storytelling Filmmaking Workshop," scheduled as part of the first annual Benevolent Media Festival in Washington, D.C.
www.benevolentmedia.org/2011/11/16/making-soup-with-stone...
EVENT DESCRIPTION:
Monday November 7, 2011 10:30am - 12:00pm @ World Resources Institute
Sponsored by Stone Soup Films, a nonprofit film cooperative based in DC, this workshop is a practical look at communications challenges many nonprofits face and how a film can help move the ball forward. This is a hands-on exercise, with real-life scenarios and examples. The workshop will be held at the World Resources Institute, a global environmental think tank.
About the Speaker:
Director/Founder, Stone Soup Films Liz Norton was a freelance television producer for over ten years, with a focus on public policy issues. Those programs included several Fred Friendly Seminars for PBS, which explore thorny political and ethical issues in depth and she has also produced for MTV News, educating teens on crime-related issues such as gun control. During the Clinton Administration, Liz was a research director in the White House Office of Communications. In that role, she served as a link between the president, the press and the public, primarily on the issues involving crime and drug policy. Before then she was a researcher on political campaign finances for Common Cause, a non-partisan lobbying organization. For twenty years Liz has been a director of the Diane and Norman Bernstein Foundation in Washington DC. She founded Stone Soup Films in early 2008.
