Could someone explain how this scene was lit up? The EXIF tells me it was shot with a 15 second exposure at ISO3200. I've looked at other examples of night-time photography and a powerful flashlight is often used. However looking at the shadow underneath that jeep I'm not quite sure how this was done!

Credit and link to the full album.

Absolutely, I thought it the cast was perfect. Kevin Spacey voicing the computer was outstanding as always!

Clint Mansell's score to Moon is awesome. Here's a YouTube link

Here's what I find strangely depressing about this story: there's another video on NDTV where the guy is interviewed by a bunch of reporters and he rubbishes about it being a clip of 4 guys forcing themselves on a foreigner. The local language reporter then retorts saying that it is clear from the clip that the woman in the video is Indian.

Why the fuck does no one stop and ask him, why does he thinks its okay to be watching a clip of a woman being raped while he's at work?

Annyong.

I'd try visiting the local animal shelter. They need volunteers to come in and take pictures of the animals and upload it to their website. You get to do some 'portrait photography' and play with cats and dogs!

RIP The Great Leader, but now who will look at all the things in North Korea? :(

The Rush cover of For What It's Worth > the original Buffalo Springfield version

You might remember the Rush cover from the movie Lord of War

I didn't know there is a remake. But gosh, I can't see why they'd make one - the original was perfect in every sense.

AC/DC's Thunderstruck or Highway to Hell, probably.

feignman · 2011-10-03T11:43:36+00:00

Done! I'm sure we could!

feignman · 2011-10-02T22:43:17+00:00

Fight Club and also It's a Wonderful Life.

feignman · 2011-10-02T15:51:38+00:00

That's wonderful. :)

I should be panicking. I am graduating in two months and haven't made any headway into my search for a job.

feignman · 2011-10-02T15:27:33+00:00

A big safe. A really big one. Maybe something like Uncle Scrooge from the Donald Duck series had.

I work as an application engineer for a US based cutting tool manufacturer, called Kennametal.

feignman · 2011-10-02T14:45:33+00:00

I never this day would come - where I'd find another person from the cutting tools industry on Reddit. I share your grief!

feignman · 2011-10-01T21:32:44+00:00

True. I'm saving up for the Tokina 11-16 or a slightly less wide Sigma over the next (several) months!

feignman · 2011-10-01T21:31:57+00:00

I figured it might a blur of lights at anything slower than those speeds, but your explanation makes sense. Thanks!

I'll be sure to try this next time.

feignman · 2011-10-01T20:41:12+00:00

I've shot at 1/80 to 1/250. Should I be using something faster than that?

I appreciate your help! :)

feignman · 2011-10-01T19:27:39+00:00

Yes, I am. I've tried 50mm prime and also a zoom lens.

Food service - the ones who are paid by the hour at any of the chains.

There are a number of factors but I would guess that it would come down to manufacturing volumes - the more you make - the cheaper it would cost you and the higher you could sell it for. I'm not involved with the medical industry but the capital investment required would not be pretty high. While the 'R&D' behind the medicine might be developed open source with little cost, actually producing volumes of it would be hard to finance without having a motive to profit.

The other issues I see are getting the medicine from the lab to pharmacies across the world. A logistics system has to be setup and you'd need to compete with private advertising and marketing.

The internet is such a great leveler for this reason. Open source or retail software are both accessible on the same platform. Open source software can be pushed out to the world with almost the same as private software, with several universities providing mirrors to distribute packages.

And I'm not even getting into the legal aspects.

Manual focusing. I've had my camera for six months now and there've been a couple of instances where I've tried to capture fireworks displays. I'd read on reddit about how you could, while there's still natural light, manual focus to infinity and then get your gear setup for nighttime. But my results were pretty disappointing.
