Is american pride the theme or similarly lit scenes? The bright spot by the bottom right corner of the flag seems to stand out awkwardly. But very nice image otherwise Ari.

Took mah new 105 dc out for a spin at lunch. It's naaaaice

the m4a file wouldn't attach so I converted it to mp3. sounds the same as the original.

I turned on the amp after about a week and a half of work being done on the house and attached is a short clip of what I heard. Recorded with the iPhone mic about 2 inches away from the driver but its a pretty close representation of the issue. 1. I turned it off after 10 minutes of warm up and it still making the same noise. 2. Turned it on again and let it warm up for 15 minutes. Still the same noise. Biased the tubes. Still the same noise. 3. The noise is equal in both channels from what I can tell. 4. The noise if constant with two different sources. 5. All tubes are lit except for 12ax7s. I don't see anything in them but I don't know if this is normal behavior for them. Don't have a tube tester or access to one but I have put on maybe 100 hours of listening time on them. The previous owner mentioned 200 of his own. Anyone think one/more of the tubes went? Any way to troubleshoot this without another tube set? Without knowing which tube it is, a replacement set will run close to $500 so I'd like to avoid it if possible. I have a dmm that I can use with detailed instructions on where to put the probes. Suggestions anyone? Memo.mp3

Isn't may supposed to be hot?

I want a jet ski

650 it is then.

I'm probably going to have to give up my speakers from the fall onwards at least until I have an apartment by myself. I love the 650s. As of right now, outside the house listening is through the trusty jh 16s and inside the house I always use speakers. Would there be a significant upgrade to go from the 650 to the 800 or am I better off just keeping the 650s? I predict a very sedentary and quiet lifestyle come up so headphones will be used again.

Those are the Bangladeshis John. They are from Chechnya. But I can see how they might have made that mistake.

Thanks guys. I celebrated the beginning of the summer and the end of the semester by just waking up at 10am. I haven't felt this rested in months.

Meh, I couldn't help but laugh at how stupid some people really are. Luckily for them, a Geography test isn't required to be released from jail.

From the beach a couple of hours ago. I approached a couple who were doing nothing and explained to them what the 100 strangers project was and asked if I could take a picture of one or both of them. "What's your name again?" "Anurag." (While handing them my card) "What kinda name is that? Where are you from?" "India." "You fucker. Your fucking people fucking blew up that fucking bomb in Boston and killed that innocent boy." "Sir those boys were Chechens...from Chechnya." "I know who they were. You fuckers all live next to each other. Get the fuck away from us. Get out of this beach. This is America. We don't tolerate you brown Muslim assholes here." "Ok...have a lovely evening." About 30 minutes later these two police officers track me down further down the beach and asked me what I was doing and if they could go through my bag. I didn't care and didn't want to argue with them for long so told them to go ahead as I had nothing to hide. Turned out one of the police officer's son was in my class last semester and his daughter is in my class now and both apparently nice things to say about me. As he was apologizing for accosting me, the couple came from behind and started yelling at the officers for not arresting me and then got belligerent and started yelling slurs at one of the officers. Then they were both arrested as the guy shoved the officer in the back and the wife started hitting the other officer when he was cuffing the husband. They apologized for the couples behavior and then carted the couple away. By now it was so dark that I couldn't take pictures which pissed me off a lot more than the whole ordeal. Fun evening.

Just took my Spanish and French finals back to back. Fucked up my days of the week but everything else was fine. Done for the semester with nothing in the summer. Until med school starts.

A few others from a couple of nights ago.

A +1 for the Gillette Venus for head shaving.

Thanks guys. Raffy, I had the camera stretched out with the strap against the back of my neck and I was leaning against a pillar. Standing free I would have never been able to do that.

yay team red ring.

Thanks Ari. It was essentially pitch dark with just a single light bulb right above the bike. The image was a wee bit underexposed but I was able to fix that a little in LR but can't get the ghosts of the camera shake from around the seat out Any suggestions on how to fix that region?

Took my 50mm out to play tonight. 1600 ISO, f1.4, 0.5 seconds, handheld.

I started watching the chicago brooklyn game and left it on the pan for too long. Now I have a piece of the burnt portion stuck in my throat and it is pissing me off with a constant reminder of my stupidity.

burnt chicken

Playing with the 50/1.4. The bokeh is nervous and hot sometimes but other times it's very pleasing. Don't know how to replicate the pleasing stuff but I haven't used it enough to notice what the variables are. Playing with HDR in Lightroom.

Made a whole bunch of calls today. Everyone i know in the area seems to be safe and accounted for. Wtf is wrong with people? Honestly. Don't they have anything better to do with their lives. If you so feel the need to blow yourself up do it in a forest or a desert where you aren't hurting others. Fucking dumbasses.

As Jacob said, I don't really feel the need to go into any menu's ever. Aperture = front wheel. Iso = rear wheel. Camera controls shutter speed in Aperture mode. In Manual, the shutter speed function goes to the rear wheel and the iso changes with the dedicated button.
