A Monday of Mondays.. Like Monday lite. A fun time of whatever. Pictures, other stuff, things, misc, conversations that are fun and thought provoking. Oh and a poem last night that I will forever never remember correctly. The item I designed for my friends at work came out terribly. Nothing like the proof at all. Sadly, I have to start over with that again. Dangit.
Losing the light, an hour before dusk, an hour after dawn. When are the richest colors available for shooting. It great but do you want to get up at 5 or 6am? Or wait for dusk at 8 or 9pm? My cam has a vivid setting. You can also go so far as change curves in the color on the fly. It works out great. So I set my cam for a couple of specific ranges. +1 and +2 on vivid. This allows you to fake the golden hour. Just remember that if you leave it on during the that time of the day everything is going to be way over colored. It will bleed like crazy. I am very happy with my camera and its ability to be modified on the fly plus save to memory settings for different shooting times. Its 12.3 mpix. Not bad at all. I would love 24 or 36 but I will not let go of the massive amount of things you can do on the D300 Nikon. Also the latest cameras out suck on their focus points. Check it out if you get a chance. 51 points of focus.
This sle.
Murray!
Boom!
Cold Cellar.
River Visit.
It can be edited in Nikon to draw down the vivid setting since I shoot in Raw. THat is the one great thing of shooting in Raw. You can always go back and adjust.
So much to talk about in shooting with a DSLR.
Links that I enjoyed today that are worth a look.
This is a pet peeve. If you paint, pad, or over make yourself into something your not.... then expect to keep your significant other happy you either have to wear that all the time or you better have at least most of what you advertise. False advertizing isnt any nicer in the morning than when you go to a store and they bait and switch you.

Passwords.... I have a password keeper because I have so many to try and remember. Very important passwords should be a sentence or if not than two opposing segments. I have a heck of a time remember my passwords because the use four different segments. Passwords for unimportant things are usually two segment. But.. 12345678 is bad.. and lazy

If you decide to buy an off the shelf computer you will pay more. Even the build your own online type are expensive or can be. If you dont want to think about it and you're just surfing and doing word docs then a cheap computer can be found. I went with building two mirror systems. It was cheaper by at least 500 dollars than an off the shelf. I also got a more powerful computer and one has already been upgraded for less than 250 dollars. I can upgrade forever or until computers are very small.

Last and not least is a small home. I love it. Its a bit smaller than I would like but still pretty darn good. I could live there with no problem. It can be hitched up to a small truck and drivin anywhere. I would rather the strength and durability of a container but they you would need a big truck to move it about. I think I would still be a hermit but in a smaller space.

No.. If I was to change my lifestyle that much I would move it here and there and be out shooting most of the day and in the house for food and sleep and editing. Ya man! I saw that it was hooked up to electrical and water probably. I would add a genni and water source to it.
Container design I put together fast.
Full glass on both ends with the normal doors still attached to close when moving. Basic design.
