Any of you play with HDR? It is a technique that is fairly new to me. I saw an interview with what I suppose was a prominent HDR software developer. He said that HDR is an oddity in that it manipulates images, which is against the grain of film purists, yet ends up with an image that is...

Synchronized ballet and lighting. Pretty cool. :yes: http://blog.petflow.com/these-japanese-girls/#uJzzL6HEgWwxa6w8.01

Today I fixed a snowmobile for a friend. The carburetor was gunked up from storage so first we tried using a fuel additive to clear it. That was about a week ago. Once it was clear that the fuel additive was not doing the trick I decided to open up the carb and manually clear the gunk...

Here is an FM antenna that I made this morning. It works well and thought it worth sharing since many people have questions about FM antennas. http://www.flickr.com/photos/93893819@N05/sets/72157639233712853/

Anyone here fish for salmon? On TV I saw people fishing Michigan rivers in the winter but I don't recall if they mentioned the month. I was just wondering what the season is. I thought salmon layed eggs in the rivers during early fall (like now) and then returned to the lakes. Do they stay...

When did you discover the power of music? For me it was when I dated a musician. She taught me to play guitar and said words that I will never forget: You must use music to make the world more beautiful. Once you strum these strings you are in a club that you cannot leave.

Any astrophotographers on the board? I got into this hobby a few months ago and finally have something that is even remotely close to being worthy of posting on a refrigerator door. Here is M57, aka The Ring Nebula. As best I understand it is planetary nebula, in other words heavy dust from...

Today I got an appreciation for the craft of scroll sawing. A few years ago my dad bought a scroll saw at a garage sale. He had no use for it but bought it because I like woodworking. Well I had no use for the thing either so it sat for years. Today my daughter asked me for help with a...

Just want to share my experience with digital photography and a new monitor. I recently bought my first digital SLR, a Sony Alpha model. After taking a few pictures I thought hmm, these photos look just as flat as the photos from my old Canon point-and-shoot. That can't be. :dunno...

This thread is to document repairing a Behringer DEQ2496. I bought it as a project from a fellow AKer. He said one channel is out and sold it in lieu of drop kicking it into a snowbank. :D I need to order some XLR/RCA adapters before I can hook it up to my stereo. Until those arrive I did a...

Gentlemen, Is this a good buy? http://detroit.craigslist.org/wyn/pho/3480285601.html My 35mm Minolta Maxxum 7000 and lenses are collecting dust. Just wondering if the CL ad is a good bang for the buck to put my old glass back into service. A few days ago I misplaced my little...

What is your favorite ham and lentil soup recipe? I have a leftover bone from a spiral cut ham and want to eat it so bad that I can't stand myself. Stewing it with lentils was the first thing that came to mind. :drool:

To those that are in the music business. Can you please pull together musicians that sing a song to Afghans and Iraqis? Nena recorded an unforgettable song during the cold war. We would do well to learn from her. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9whehyybLqU

Are any of you with Comcast having problem with your e-mail? I am in SE Michigan and unable to send. I called Comcast and their service tech said that it is a known widespread issue and e-mail will be down for 2-3 days. I'm having trouble believing that. For about an hour prior to the outage...

Apparently there is a medical condition known as "golf ball liver". It is basicly poisoning from the herbicide 2,4-D that is commonly used on golf courses. Licking golf balls is a route of ingestion. So don't lick your balls unless you are willing to end up sick like the guy in the attached...

Tonight I stumbled across this bit on YouTube. It is Jaimie Foxx singing a George Strait song while George listens. Beautiful. It reminds me of a discussion I had the other day with a black woman. We were talking about TV and she told me something that I had never considered. She told...

What are your favorite songs about passing the torch of life? The first one that hit me was "Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes" by George Jones. The one that sat me down was "Portland, Oregon" by Loretta Lynn and Jack White. http://youtu.be/VuC_l3ymXhM
