Move the subject away from the green screen, so there is a 6 to 10 foot gap from the subject and the backdrop, do not light the whole green screen, just the part that is behind the subject. COME ON PEOPLE!

Every time I see this story all I can think of is abuse of presidential power, and in this case for their reelection. Sure, its the depression, so, build me my very own privet rail connection to my favorite hotel in NYC. I don't care about cost, just do it, I have to be reelected don't you know. After this guy a law…

What a drag...

"plutonium toys. 22,400" I interpreted as meaning active weapons. You are right if you use that web site and their assumptions of Russian weapons in any condition. We could go back and fourth for some time and never really have a resolution on the total numbers. I will admit to a prejudices against any Russian numbers…

Within the last two years the US State Department announced that the USA has about 4500 nukes. Analysis of Russia states (guess) that they have about 6500 nukes. That's a total of 11,000. How is 11,000 90% of 22,400? When publicly available facts are radically different from some study, you must questions all the…

Not necessarily. Each lens has its most typical use. A wide angle takes it all in, wide like. A telephoto better fills the frame with something far away. It is useful to play around with different uses but, 99% of lens selection is depended on what you want to see in the frame not how you want it to look. Light,…

For 35mm FILM the 105 was and is the lens that sold a million Nikon cameras. I guess 135 is as good as any translation to what a 105 might be in the digital world. I typically just add 50% to the film mm lens to get the digital equivalent, so, a 105 in the digital realm would be a 157mm. I guess a 135 is the closest…

I call this time of year wake up time. Its time to get things going...

Yes but the battery lasts for over 12 hours...

And so there it is, film has been absorbed by the nomenclature of video. There once was a time when video, the new kid on the block was absorbed into the nomenclature of film.

Sounds like the back drop for a SciFi weekend trashy movie, or the setting for much of Hangover3.

Its kind of interesting, in an age of diffusion the Brits are going the other way. The internet by example, is a endless tangle of connections which would still work if half of it were blown away.

Lets say its true, lets say ALL pros that use the Mac Pros drop Apple. Apple loses maybe 50,000 buyers who buy once every two years, 25,000 sales per year. I guess Apple feels its not enough sales to justify all the work to update, make and market the stuff. Buy Apple stock, this move would help the bottom line, as in…

FCPX was a red flag, this news is the bullet to the head.

Could it be that evolutionary processes are at work? Death might not come from any conscious (for an insect) awareness, but from some chemical reaction to the presents of predators. The evolutionary part is, die, don't feed the predators there will be less of them.

NEPTUNE, I totally forgot. proof that Pluto is better!

Let me help out here, Pluto is pissed!

First let me agree with the notion that a person doing what is perceived to be good might seem to be a good person. A sense of proportion is meaningful in that vacuum. But, from my memory of the home brew period going with the flow was one of the bylaws, this guy wants everyone to go with his flow. He has lost that…

Personal attacks on jerks, that works for me. The guy kind of makes me WANT to BUY my software.
