why would you, as a starred poster, promote such an inconsequential post?

Hmm, I hadn't thought of that. You may be right. I know on some older versions of the SU app you can blacklist some applications from requesting SU permissions, so that could be an option here.

The LCD screen on the Sony NEX is bright enough (usually) and tilts at an angle that allows for "shooting from the hip."

cue all of the fragmentation comments....

@BottleKnockers:

Thanks!

Thanks, I'll try when I get home this evening. I think I'll be alright!

I'm a super noob when it comes to Ubuntu/Linux stuff. For the last 6 months or so, I've had a dual boot machine: windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.whatever. If I update my Ubuntu 10.x to 11.04, that's all that will update, correct? Like is it foolproof? I was all ready to upgrade, but then got freaked that it would wipe my…

whoops, i think you were referring to philadelphia?

Nice. I've had my NEX-3 for about 3 months now, and only just feel like I know what I'm doing. You're going to have a great time learning!

UFED? More like U F'd!

I'd say that the Nexus 1 was the last "great" Android phone. It came out a bit later than the Droid.

1. yes you can overclock it. I think the stock processor is 550mhz, I clocked mine to 1.1ghz on the reg.

I have a feeling that its OMG MEGAPIXELS to a lot of people not just the android crowd (the video and the article mention that its a windows phone though) most people don't really know anything about sensors or sensor size.

@Bramsey89: Same here. I live in an area with a lot of green space/urban space alongside each other. I love to take pictures that show the juxtaposition of the two. I feel like such a creep any time there are people crossing through my frame.

And my mention of Mark's suggestion to avoid PP was in reference to you saying the kids wanna do everything on the computer, and the fact that a piece of paper in front of a lens requires no computer.

yeah, and isn't a black piece of paper a bit more basic than a glass filter? you wouldn't need a computer to hold a black piece of paper in front of your lens.

The article Mark linked mentions that you should move the black card up/down and side/side during the long exposure to avoid that black line. I didn't even notice it on the challenge's example photo, but now that you've pointed it out, I can see how moving the card would help fix that.

Hmm, I think this technique is even more rudimentary than filters. Mark does mention that you should avoid post-processing....
