just got back from traffic court and paid 300 bucks for a crime I didn't commit! word to the wise, sometimes contesting a ticket is just not worth it!

 

and what "crime" was that?

 

It's getting close to lunchtime!!! Now it's time to start thinking what do I eat today

 

Running a Redlight or something??

 

I was making a right hand turn onto a one way street in midtown and I stopped, then inched up so I could see beyond the cars parked on the side of the road. No one was coming after I stopped, so I turned and continued. Then the police pulled me over, had their guns out and everything, put me in their car, threatened to take me to jail, then let me go with my citation for running the stop sign...I thought all of that might have got me off, but it didn't.

 

When we wander into the world of high-megapixel DSLR cameras, the flaws in whatever lens you are using is even more obvious than film, since we can zoom in on a computer screen. The beauty of a full frame camera is that if you have a 30mm lens, it acts like a 30mm lens, instead of a 48mm. The crop ratio (1.6:1 on a Canon 20D) works to your advantage on telephoto lenses, as it acts like the lens has a farther throw. Personally, I have a lot of fun with wider angle shots, and if you're losing the distortion along the edges of the picture due to the crop ratio, then you're still not getting all of the picture. It's learning to use the distortions, or being more choosy with your lenses.

Maybe a few years down the road when full frame cameras are a bit cheaper, I'll upgrade. I'm happy with my 20D as it is

 

sounds like a bad experience dude... Or they thought you had just commited a Murder

 

Maybe he's brown.

 

damn dude, quit playing the race card



I'm white

 

:rotfl:


FYI: it's off-white.

 

Why is it that the camera lense acts longer because of the crop ratio? I just figured when you crop the image it would act like it does in the darkroom, meaning you just lose the edge like the end of the frame stops there.

Edit: Does it lense curve the image so that it captures more? Is that how it does it?

 

I didn't hear him mention they beat him.

 

Is it Saturday yet?

 

Not yet sir. Almost. I want to go back to bed!

You coming out to EGKK?

 

no effing kidding. I've been dealing with this external customer for the past 2 weeks and it is so painful . We're setting up something that should be SO simple and they just can't get it.
