Dear Grand Poopah:

Just finished a Manhatten.. (Makers Mark bourbon, bitters and vermouth)

True of false please......

In Hegel's version of Absolute idealism, everything is real in virtue of its function in the process by which Absolute Mind comes to recognize itself in and through world history.

Too obscure to even be false.

Ron,

Rhinestone shades, or cheap sun glasses?
Clearly, cheap rhinestone shades.

Nice setup. You're going to have a great time.

Start by soaking the compact flash film in D76 for 12 minutes at 68 degrees. <duck and run>
Well I don't have any D76. Can I use Dektol or Selectol with equal results?

thanks,
Dave

Given that both are paper developers I suppose you can use either if you peel the label off the card and just develop it.

Ok! I've processed my first compact flash paper label off the film pack according to Ron's instructions. Since I am a careful photographer, and I doubt all this digital stuff, I did take saftey shots with my old gear. Here are some results:

With Velvia 50 on my Nikkormat FT, and a 200mm lens:



And the same image on the new digital setup, I used the 18-200mm lens here with my new D90, lens was set at about 50mm:



Since our club is all about cars, I did some test car shoots also:

Nikkormat FT, conditions as above:



And with the digital D90 setup:




It may be that I have not learned how to use the digital set up well, in only a day, but these differences seem a little excessive.

What do you say, Ron?

Dave

Dear Ron,

Should I waste my money on a new pair of speakers, or will I, indeed, get more mileage from a cheap pair of sneakers?

thanks!
Dave

Thought can indeed lead to confusion. But it is also your way out.
