Stick around long enough, and many of your early fantasies may be fulfilled. A friend has offered his set of Bose 901s (that have been in storage for over ten years). It is tempting, but my own set of Energy Take 5.1 speakers are already in storage. Called another friend (about to retire from academia) over the weekend to see if his college has a program to sell off old MacBook Pros. His paby Todd's keyboard - Tips and Deals
Thanks for the feedback. I was concentrating so much on using long exposures and adjusting the ISO, I forgot that the camera was set to Auto exposure. It’s raining today, so won’t try again until tomorrow or the next day. Thanks again, Todd’s learning-curve boardby Todd's keyboard - Tips and Deals
Folks, Here is the best of a series of photographs with a Canon dSLR EOS Rebel T2i camera. The lens is an 80-240 that came with the camera. The camera was set up on a cheap tripod (maybe too flimsy). I used a cable remote to activate the shutter. The camera was set on Shutter Priority. I took a series of the same shot. The settings were ISO 400, 800, and 1600. Each ISO got time-lapsed shby Todd's keyboard - Tips and Deals
Mystery solved! Loosening four small screws let me open up the plastic housing containing the wires and connections. Depressing the plastic button depresses (depending on pressure) one, two, or three metal springs that make electrical contacts. One of the wires inside the housing was between two of the metal springs. Moving the wire to the side—next to the other two wires—allows all thrby Todd's keyboard - Tips and Deals
What step am I missing to not be able to take photos with a KiwiFotos UR-232 remote cable switch? When plugged in, half-depressing the remote button gets the Canon to make the necessary meter and focus adjustments. Unfortunately, I get the same results when depressing the button all the way down. The camera never actually takes a photo. In low-light situations, the flash pops up and a flashby Todd's keyboard - Tips and Deals

A friend of ours died last week. My wife and I are researching potential sites to host a memorial site/page. The host should be able to handle a video tribute (or link to a youtube page), photos, and comments. It would also be nice if people could upload their own photos/comments. I’m assuming these would be screened before going public. Any recommendations? (a modest hosting fee is okay)by Todd's keyboard - Tips and Deals
A couple of decades, ago my wife and I ate at Foti’s Restaurant in Breaux Bridge, Louisiana. Of course, we ordered crawfish. The waitress set down some newspaper and dumped a couple of dozen crawfish on the table. We both started laughing. The next time the waitress passed by, we stopped and apoligized. We did not know how to actually eat the crawfish. The waitress sat down, grabbed aby Todd's keyboard - Tips and Deals
I was a fairly early adopter with a low-end Panasonic DVD player in the nineties. The sound that came out of my new 5.1 Take Five Energy speakers with an Onkyo receiver was fantastic. Movies looked great, when the player worked. This model of Panasonic was named in a class-action lawsuit about defective designs for DVD players. I could get the Panasonic to work a bit longer than most owners byby Todd's keyboard - Tips and Deals

Missed one day of pedaling for thirty minutes followed by a 10k row. Had to run errands one morning. If I don't exercise in the morning, it doesn't happen. Came to a realization. I watch either a Great Courses lecture or lynda.com course while pedaling. Listen to an audiobook while rowing. It's hard to imagine setting aside a half-hour block just to watch a lecture.

Thanks from me, as well. It’s humbling to see what a good photographer can capture. Last night, I fired up my Canon X-some-model-that’s-more-than-understand to try and get some night photos of Christmas lights. I’d like to think with more practice I could at least remember how to set things. The truth, however, is to be reminded at how much there is to learn.

The early days of personal computing were driven by dominant application software. People bought an Apple II so they could run VisiCalc. Later on, people bought an IBM or some MS/DOS computer so they could run Lotus 1-2-3.

The Dell monitor is connected to the Mac Mini with an HDMI cable. Yes, the monitor was selected in System Preferences - Sound - Dell U3415W.

Don't know if this is new or if I had not noticed before today. The built-in speakers on the Dell U3415W monitor sound better than the built-in speakers on the Mac Mini (2018) running OS X Catalina 10.15.7.

Again, wow, and thanks. I am humbled by the collective talent in this group. Decades ago, I purchased Adobe Photoshop because I needed to create GIFs from videos of jugglers.

Every year I use Photoshop and InDesign to create a Christmas card. This means every year I have to re-learn how these programs work. This year it's a bit more severe because my traditional CS version no longer works on the new Mac Mini. I've had to download and use version 21.2.4 of Photoshop.
