Memorize This!
1. Sunny 16 rule The basic exposure for an average scene taken on a bright, sunny day is f/16 at a shutter speed equivalent to one over the ISO setting—that is, f/16 at 1/100 sec at ISO 100. From this you can interpolate, and try f/22 at the beach, f/11 on a cloudy-bright day, etc.
2. Moony 11, 8, and 5.6 rules There are many different rules that work well when shooting the moon. One favorite for a proper exposure of a full moon is f/11 at one over the ISO setting. For pictures of a half moon, use the same shutter speed at f/8, and for a quarter moon, use the same shutter speed at f/5.6.
3. Camera shake rule The slowest shutter speed at which you can safely handhold a camera is one over the focal length of the lens in use. As shutter speeds get slower, camera shake is likely to result in an increasing loss of sharpness. So, if you’re using a 50mm lens, shoot at 1/60 sec or faster. Not enough light? Use a flash, tripod, or brace your camera against a solid object. Continue reading ‘12 rules for photography worth memorizing’
The Hangover
i saw the previews for The Hangover a few weeks ago at the release of Star Trek. the more trailers i saw for this movie, the funnier it looked. i was determined to see it.
i did. and it was fuckin awesome!
so what’s it about?
Two days before his wedding, Doug and three friends drive to Las Vegas for a wild and memorable stag party. In fact, when the three groomsmen wake up the next morning, they can’t remember a thing; nor can they find Doug. With little time to spare , the three hazy pals try to re-trace their steps and find Doug so they can get him back to Los Angeles in time to walk down the aisle.
the movie is very good from start to finish – but it’s the VERY END that ties up all the loose ends and truly makes this movie GREAT. this flick combines humor, crudeness, obscenities, and vulgarities into a very funny story. if you have a sick and vulgar sense of humor – you will enjoy this movie.
Todd Phillips, you outdid yourself – this movie was fuckin great.
:: stands up and claps ::
i give it two thumbs up and would watch it again and again.
Jag's R Collection
during some interweb surfing i came across an ad that just showed jaguar’s most impressive car so far that i can recall. not a big jag fan since i think they’re overated and the last one i drove kinda sucked. but the advertisment’s photograph for this car made me click the ad anyway. so i researched. i think i’m impressed with what i’ve seen and read so far. introducing Jaguar’s R Collection…
Jag's XKR
the 510 hp XKR looks pretty spiffy and looks like it has what it takes to back itself up when it comes to talkin shit if it wanted. rated to bust out 0-60 in 4.6 seconds by the all-new AJ-V8 GEN III R Engine coupled with its acclaimed 6-speed ZF automatic transmission, makes it sound pretty silly fast. gimmie gimmie…
Jag's XFR
need a 4 door? with speed? how bout the XFR? this sedan has the ability to power from 0-60 in 4.7 seconds. now thats a REAL family mobile. this ride pushes out 510 hp with a supercharged AJ-V8 GEN III R engine and its acclaimed 6-speed ZF automatic transmission. forget the minivan – the kids can sit in the back just fine…
so Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is scheduled for release May 24, 2009. all the hoopla about the movie constantly stems up conversation at work about the old cartoons we used to watch and who was our favorite characters.
so being a photographer and a former owner of some of the original transformer toys – it got me wondering if i could still find some authentic old school dinobots. (dinobots were my favorites, next to soundwave of course.)
well i searched and i damn near choked when i found it.
would you believe me if i told you a LOOSE VINTAGE 1985 G1 Dinobot (Sludge) goes for $149.99?
HOLY SHIT BATMAN! thats expensive as hell! i officiously declare SHENANIGANS!
had i known they’d be worth that much, i’d have tried not to lose the ones i did have. sheesh!
so much for adding that series of toys to the collection….

this is sucha late post, (like it shoulda been posted in april) but ladytron put on a fantastic show and the faint sounded great.
i figured i took pics and i’m goin to post them even though they’re over a month old.
of course these aren’t as fantastic as i’d have liked them to be, but i had to use my little sony pocket cam.
thats one of the problem with SLR’s… they’re too big and obvious!!
jimmy vanderhaar is a good guy. he’s funny, he’s smart, he’s fast as shit on a motorcycle, and he got the shaft at THE WORST possible moment.
jimmy was accepted to race at the Isle of Man TT. a couple days ago his arrangements for shipping his bikes over were cancelled putting him in a nasty situation. title sponsorship bailed out last minute and now he faces the problem of financing all of this himself. how do you rake up almost $7000 within days?
being a friend of jimmy and an enthusiast of the motorcycle street racing world, i want to see jimmy go and race. i’ve donated to his cause and i’m going to ask the same of others who support this community. $5 or $500, whatever you can spare will be greatly appreciated.
friends have set up a blog tracking status of this event and you can follow it here.
James “JimmyV” Vanderhaar has been accepted into the 2009 IOM where he plans to contest 5 classes. The title sponsor just cut their commitment 4 days prior to shipping. Now Jimmy is being forced to use every available resource he can to include reaching out to the great interwebs. We are asking for monetary donations of any amount. It doesn’t matter if its $5 or $500, every bit helps.
We are accepting donations in the form of cash, money orders, and personal checks. Send us an email at jimmyvtt2009@gmail.com if you have any questions regarding donations. The same email is tied to our Vanderhaar Racing Paypal account and can be used for donations via that source.
GO JIMMY!
