It’s annoying.
Canon would never pull this crap. If 18mp is good enough for the T2i, it’s good enough for the T3i, T4i, T5i, 60D, 100D, 7D and 1D X. If you really need the extra resolution the 6d can give you 10/9 the pixels of that. And the newest 5d can get 11/10 the pixels of the 6D.
So, as you can see, those cowboys are pushing the envelope as far as they can. I mean, when the 1Ds came out in 2004 we all thought “woah, 16.7mp! Just think, in 2014 we could get something crazy, like 16.75 or 17.01mp” But it’s just 2013 and they’ve already cranked it up to 18.1mp. Heady times.

just shoot a line. Alternately, you can pop

There’s an e-mail address in his profile, he’s a mod, and there’s a link to his flickr.
I think Flickr has some kinda message thing.
I say combine it all; post NSFW stuff with his name on it to Flickr, post that to fark with his e-mail and private message him when you’re done. Then shoot, pop or do lines of all the drugs while you wait.

There are also kelp forests off the coast of Baja and a fungi forest in Donkey Kong 64. There has to be a mesquite grove or something that can pass for a forest near you. Even New Mexico has two national forests beauty forests, forest for rest, just as many as Alaska. I’m sure you could hitchhike to the woods, no one would find that suspicious at all.

Little known fact, Sam Kinison was a mannequin before divorcing his wife and becoming a comedian.

Those are great. Really great.
I just can’t shake the feeling they’re missing something.

But is it in keeping with the theme?

Would a physical alteration to the lens apparatus affecting the astral shot be out?
Like, just putting droplets of colored water on the lens, or blocking out parts with construction paper to spruce up an otherwise mundane picture of light pollution and haze.

I tried searching for “Petzval calculating focal length” and it didn’t show up in my search results, logged in or not.

I swear, and it’s not just like when I go into a daze and everything turns into google in a trenchcoat saying “Psst, hey. I have sock wrestling videos. They got the “foop” sound effect. C’mon man, whatchu need? I got Nick Cage talking to Michishige Sayumi. Whatchu need? Trumpets? I gots those man. I gots trash pop, hollatcha snatchbashers. You wanna cry yo’self to sleep in an alcoholic stupor at 11am the next morning and wake up 3 hours later screaming in crisis and cursing the caprice of evolution in the face of Hobbesian social contracts? I gots that. I suck yo’ dick man, just stay here and get nothin’ done.”

This post took me 3 hours and added another 350,000 years in purgatory.
Not technically thread-jacking because I totally stayed on topic for like 15 contiguous words.

Thanks for the heads up on the gun.

Haha, you like word porn.

I did find I liked using the tripod on the body and a monopod on the lens’ mount. A lot of work, and probably unwieldy in normal situations, but if I’m doing something where I’ve got the time, and the action is pretty static, it’s definitely the route I’d suggest. (My tripod isn’t as rock-solid as I though, and the head is wobbly, so I like the extra support.

With a 2×4 and some 1/4″ coarse thread screw you can make yourself something like this.

I can, however, shoot some mean porn from across the room.

At 1000mm you must mean … Either Elsinore or I am going to hug you when you say.

As for the question of whether or not to tell people they suck, my wife is trying to tell me to do less of that. I keep trying to tell her honesty is the best policy, but she doesn’t want to hear it.

If people care about being better about something they usually fix it on their own. Unless telling them they suck is linked to something else they might be oblivious to, it’s probably not doing much good. (example: “You suck at improv. They want you there so they can make jokes about minorities without looking racist.”)

Devil’s advocate thing, maybe the people who aren’t enthusiastic or looking at you are just shy, and would want the picture when they’re not worried about why some guy is pointing a camera at them. I have like 5 photos of myself growing up because everyone in my family was too self-hating, anxious or whatever to take a god damn picture. We’d never say no to a picture, but we’d never go out of our way for one. One of the 5 was taken at an amusement park by an annoying asshole in a red and white vertically striped costume, everyone looks miserable, I’m glad I have it.

fluffybunny, pencil sharpening is a whole thing. I’ve run into them buying staplers, there are a ton of them and they have strong opinions. Some of those old fashioned pencil sharpeners built into the walls of schools sell for thousands.

orionid, haha, you were alive in the 90s.

Don’t forget that used lenses sell for about what you pay for them, and sometimes more. It’s all pretty low risk.
