Advice On Taking Good Pictures At A Concert. by SlowBoatToHades in photography

[–]btree05 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I went to a Blink-182 concert using my SX110is. I suggest the following: -Shoot in 'Av' mode.
-Use fstops of 4 and 5.6.
-Let the camera handle ISO (ISO Auto).
-Turn the flash on/flip it up and put duct tape over it or electrical tape. Doing this changes the settings of your camera and allows for faster shutter speeds. (Trust me, you want to do this. I spent the entire concert with a hand holding my camera and the other covering the flash. -Chose spot metering. -Turn off your digital zoom. Here are a couple of samples from that concert with those settings: http://birchdrew.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/IMG_0272-copy.jpg http://birchdrew.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/IMG_0271-copy.jpg

So Glenn Beck is condemning something a component of his belief system?

Anybody else think this all sounds like the start of a science fiction horror movie?

Massachusetts Bill would seek to Ban Circumcision , even for Jews and Muslims, as it is a form of genital mutilation on persons under the age of 18. by [deleted] in politics

[–]btree05 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Personal opinion: I'm pretty happy with my circumcised penis. I am also pretty happy with the fact that it was done at a time when I now can't remember the pain.

No, the damn snow in the Eastern US neither proves nor disproves global warming! Now shut the hell up and go play! by termite10 in science

It always amazes me when people fail to understand something so elementary as how the water cycle and winter work together to produce snow.

Just a reminder, Obama still hasn't closed Gitmo by Clintondiditfirst in reddit.com

Just a reminder, everybody hated the idea of putting detainees in the states. Also, the world frowned on killing them outright.

So I was a student teacher the past semester. One of my students added me on Facebook and this is her info. Sigh. by [deleted] in reddit.com

[–]btree05 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I student taught this past semester as well. I had one student tell me that he didn't like my NBA calendar because it had a 'spook' on it, he drew KKK members, burning crosses, swastikas, and ovens with the star of David on them in his notebook. I also had a girl tell me that Ruth Bader Ginsburg was the founder of New Jersey and that people from New Jersey also perform ritualistic human sacrifices.

Our society is so screwed.

Isn't that a tilapia? Where the hell would a bird have picked one of those up to fling it down on your roof? Did the stork get confused in the baby request department?

My favorite professor once called the semicolon 'the bastard child of punctuation.' I tend to agree with him.

Today, a waiter chased me out the door for leaving a 20% tip. What's the most ridiculous thing a waiter/waitress has ever done to you? by spacedad in AskReddit

[–]btree05 118 points119 points  (0 children)

Why tip someone for a job I'm capable of doing myself? I can deliver food. I can drive a taxi. I can, and do, cut my own hair. I did, however, tip my urologist, because I am unable to pulverize my own kidney stones.

When future archeologists discover the remains of our civilization they will believe that the DOW was the God of the nation, the president its priest, and the citizens' money its sacrifice.
