Humor: Jackie Mason on Starbucks
This is funnier if you can imagine Jackie Mason saying it. You want coffee in a coffee shop, that's 60 cents. But at Starbucks, Cafe Latte: $3.50. Cafe Cremier: $4.50. Cafe Suisse: $9.50. For Each French word, another four dollars. Why does a little cream in coffee make it worth $3.50? Go into any coffee shop; they'll give… -
Re: I'm trying to learn manual, does it get worse before better?
Hi Melissa Here is the f-stop scale f/1 f/1.4 f/2 f/2.8 f/4 f/5.6 f/8 f/11 f/16 f/22 f/32 f/45 f/64 Each step on the scale lets in half as much light as the previous step. So f/1.4 lets in half as much light as f/1, f/2 lets in half as much light as f/1.4 and so on. How does this relate to shutter speed? Well, suppose you… -

Re: Camera care and the cold weather
There is a lot of math/science content below, but I want to clear up the difference between relative and absolute humidity, as well as give a slightly more detailed explanation of why the bag method works, and why ziplock bags work especially well. If you don't care about why of all this stuff feel free to skip it.… -
Re: Lens and Aperture Discussion
f stops are a ration between the opening circle of your lens and the focal length. Here's how I explain it. Imagine you had a hose filling a bucket with water. When the bucket is full...you have your correct exposure. If you had a 1" round hose....let's say it takes 10 seconds to fill the bucket. The amount of time is… -
Re: another shot at the moon
what's your exif? I'm wondering what your settings are for exposure...the 'ecliptic' path that the moon follows is an area of sky that moves very fast (Earth's rotation). Objects nearer to Polaris (North Star...north pole projected out into space) move slower than objects near the celestial equator (Earth's equator… -
Re: Building your own computer
I am going to offer some differing opinions so bear with me. These are all my opinions, take them or leave them as you see fit :D 1: You don't need to worry about a floppy drive for SATA drivers if you are using SP2 or later XP. SP1 and earlier required you to use the RAID drivers that come with your motherboard on a… -

Re: Home Brew- A Core i7 PC build
