I also see a moonwalking bear.

Ha. It's that's insignificant, eh?

For mostly landscapes I like the effect I get when sliding the Unsharpen Mask's 'Radius' slider really high, and keeping the 'Amount' slider somewhere around 50% or higher. It gives it a heavy...

Thank you both.
This is great info.
I got here the last week of February, I was lucky I was able to get 5 days in before it all wrapped up. I was able to check out Teine and Kokusai 2x each and...

Never heard of that. I know the Teine pass covers about 3 mountains. I'll have to look into what you mentioned. Thanks.

I'm new in Sapporo and I'm looking into getting a season pass for either Teine or Kokusai. I know Kokusai is cheaper, but you get Rusutsu with Teine. I like both mountains, maybe Kokusai a bit more. ...

Hey,
Just moved to Sapporo and I know there's a single bus on the weekends that goes from Sapporo to Teine Highlands, but I can only find info in Japanese, and I can't really read it. What's the...

I know there's a lot of threads about disc problems but I wanted to ask about something very specific. When I injured myself I was lifting something heavy, as soon as it happened I stood up and my...

I have iMovie '08, will an old copy of Final Cut 3 or 4 still be much better?

I mounted my camera to the front of my board using the little articulated arm. The camera kept flopping every which way with every bump. I took the the arm off and attached the camera right to the...

Someone sent me a photo from their Blackberry phone, I'm trying to see when the photo was taken. I've used a few programs to check the EXIF data from the picture and it's only showing me the creation...

How is it? I know it's 5MPs.

I shoot with a 40D, but lugging that around isn't always an option. I saw a good deal on a SD1400IS as a pocket cam, but just as I was about to buy I remembered that...

Based on that review site Thunder Camera sounds like many of the discount camera stores that you find advertising all over the place. My rule of thumb is never shop at an electronics warehouse-type...

Awesome, I never saw the on-stage video. Talk about getting rewarded for her dedication.

I know, I think this might be the killer. Even if everything is perfect, there might just not be enough of a customer base to pull from.

If you only stay with the 18-125mm f/3.8-5.6 and the 70-200mm f/4 you might find your self frustrated with the lack of a wider aperture. f/3.8 Can start to feel pretty slow when you start to run out...

When I see that chart I think of this for some reason:

I want to chime in on my pipe dream too:

First we pull every one of our troops out of foreign countries, and we use those troops to line our borders and coasts, man our airports, and provide a...

Thanks, I actually understand that completely.

How does that affect it? I thought freezing anything in a scene had to deal with shutter speed.

Innocent question: Why don't they just use lighting from a constant source? Once the shots are put into print you can't tell that they're using flash (can you?), it just looks like lights were setup.

Why don't you print the line drawings out on transparency paper, then tape the transparency onto the computer screen?

I know it's a very low-budget approach, and I'm just pulling this idea out of...

I was on a Specialized Hardrock, the tires were at about 40psi. Trail was super bumpy (http://www.trails.com/tcatalog_trail.aspx?trailid=BGN062-002), and I know that's why I'm hurting.

But I...

I agree, but you're referring to fixed gear bikes with small, straight handle bars, and no brakes. Mine is just a stock standard road bike, albeit with one gear. But I wasn't on that bike anyway.
...

I wasn't on my road bike, what kind of retard do you take me for?:)

I usually ride my single speed road bike around the city, but yesterday I did my 1st singletrack. Today my left wrist is fucking killing me.

I'm not worried about it being seriously injured, I'm...

fertilized

???

Isn't that just a fancy "snurfer"?

Yes and no. The reason I never got clips on my bikes before is because I used my bikes as modes of transportation, not just exercise, and I didn't want to get somewhere and be stuck walking around in...

It's choice 3. I just figure I have fun on my single speeds why bother with something I'm no good at. But if I'm going to make a change, I just wanted to know my options.
Is a 1x8 geared setup...

I only have the Langster now, I re-read my post and I realized I made it sound like I still ride the BMX and MTB.
Since I switched to the road bike, I don't think I can ride on pavement with a MTB...

I'm a bike novice, I enjoy riding, I use my bikes to get around the city and go on joy rides.

I live in NYC and over the years I've gone from a BMX bike, to single speed mountain bike...

I wouldn't hit it; it looks too lippy, the tranny looks too short, and the landing is too flat.

(Translation: I'm a big pussy and just looking at those pictures made me tear up and gave me heart...

EF 50mm f/1.8 <- Nifty Fifty, Fantastic Plastic; call it what you will, this $80 plastic piece of shit takes some of the sharpest photos I've ever seen, wide open at ISO 1600.

Now I feel like a jerk. Not for one second did I mean the thread was boring, I could talk about this shit all day (and for once I feel like I'm contributing something).
Nor did I mean that you...

If you keep this thread going eventually you're going to find out where Jimmy Hoffa is buried.

Too much information. You're going to get on your board and you're probably going to remember one...

I could be wrong, but isn't the point of getting a 5D to get the full frame sensor? If you're mostly going to be shooting people skiing, and using telephoto zoom lenses, you'll get more reach from...

Very nice. Not your usual tourist/visitor shots. These are the kind of shots you start to see after you've been here for a while.

You came at a great time too. In about another month, when it...

When I was younger a kid I knew had a German Shepard, it had a normal name, I forget it, but it started with a "B". After it died they got another German Shepard and the parents let the kids name...

Heavy isn't necessarily bad. Freeride boards tend to be heavier, mine are at least. But a 166 is long and heavy, that's all I was saying.

You mentioned looking at a new board, if you're tight on...

I can't say there's a "right" way to snowboard, but kicking out your back leg to turn is ... inefficient, to say the least.


Change your angles, you might like it better. You don't have to go...

If you take the pressure off the back it's going to go the front. This will make you pivot around your front when you try and turn (think basketball players pivoting). This is basically the the...

It will help if you slightly shift your center of gravity towards your tail/back foot towards the end of your turn.

If you're trying bombastic euro-carves, you should initiate the turn with more...

About 5 years ago I started getting this pain on the right side of my lower back almost where my ass begins. After about 2 years of pain I went to a chiropractor, got X-Rays, and was told that my...

I see more youthfulness in his face at 79 than I do in my own at 30.

Awesome documentary.

Just got back from Lake Tahoe. I'm sure I'll post some more.

If PearlJam wants the Beacon only, I'll take the other items.

Nice. That looked pretty awesome.

And if you say "Jesus" backwards it sounds like "sausage."
