  2. DnD Thread, starting a new game on City Road @ Park Library Centre.
  3. Looking for a few good nerds or n00bs interested in starting a 3.5 / Pathfinder campaign. Please post if interested here. We would have access to one of the rooms in the centre, and may have to work around their hours. All of this is to be figured out and decided once we have a few people to play with. Please post here if interested or require more information. New characters & Old characters welcome Starting at level 4 Hoping to meet weekly If you do not know how to make a character there are lots of 3.5e / Pathfinder guides online, or feel free to get in touch and one can be fashioned for you. ---------- Post added 11-04-2017 at 14:05 ---------- Would like a bit more info on the game type? Please read this if interested: http://www.wikihow.com/Play-Dungeons-and-Dragons
  4. You can always share pictures on websites like https://postimage.org and then use their "thumbnails for forums" link in the post, it will show a thumbnail and also give a link to see the image larger in their own website, it is how they manage to pay for the hosting. It is best if you have your images scaled down a bit, easier to upload and for viewers on the user side to download. Oh, and just so you know, this image is using a wide F-stop with low light and a tripod. I think the ISO wasn't too high, otherwise you'd see a bit of what we call noise in the image, or a sort of texture. Anyhow, this is just an example of low light, wide f-stop (low f-stop number, probably like 3.5, 1.8 would show the background even blurrier/out of focus), and an ISO at about 800 or so. I hope this helps. Thanks for the positive comments, I'll share more if I find more interesting ones lying about. ---------- Post added 14-11-2016 at 22:26 ---------- In contrast this image is taken with a small f-stop (f 22 or so, I know, counterintuitive), the day happened to be a bit overcast, but with enough light to get everything in the picture. Granted, it has taken a bit of post editing, but just look at how the foreground seems to be almost on the same plane as the background, this is caused because the focal point is much wider than on a wide fstop (think wide f-stop short focal area and short fstop wide focal area). What happens also is that you can get to a certain point where your lens will focus everything from a certain distance on to infinity. This helps to shoot with a 1.8 fstop in darker days if you are aiming to have the whole background show up. It is all tricks of the trade, to be quite frank with you. I would almost say this image is 1.8 fstop, but the foreground is in focus as is the house in the background, usually you would have a bit of the foreground out of focus if you happen to be shooting the ground the way this shot is taken. Hope this makes sense.
  5. Well, this isn't something that can be answered so easily. I think you need to do a bit of digging on your own, but I can tell you what to look for and that may help, eh? If you want to take photographs of fast action like sports, you may want to look into a camera where you can control the F-Stop/Number, the ISO, and the Shutter Speed. When you have access to all three of these you are able to reach the zenith of the triforce that is ISO, Shutter Speed, and F-Stop. Light is what you are trying to capture, and in order to do so in certain locations you'll need to be able to have a high enough ISO with an F-Stop open wide enough, and a shutter speed just right so that you don't get a shaky image. When I studied I had to do EVERYTHING in Manual, but there are certain modes a camera can have which I think are pretty helpful. Like Aperture (f-stop) priority, or shutter priority modes. These basically let you only worry about the one or the other along with the ISO, while the camera does the rest. It is better when you are in a fast passed situation like Table Tennis or sports in general. Basically, you'll need a camera that lets you play with all of these. I would recommend something like a small nikon with a back screen, those are pretty nice and let you play around enough to get the sense of the thing, or if you want to get dirty, diving in with a digital SLR that has a decent size sensor, with a fixed lensor "prime lens", perhaps a 35mm or 50mm to start with. You can usually get a pretty open F-stop with those (1.8 at least) and that helps a lot with helping your camera operate with speed. There is a lot to do with cameras, but I would recommend reading something on the subject first to really get to grips with what you are doing. There is a book I picked up for the hell of it, it is called "Read This If You Want To Take Great Photographs" by Henry Carroll. For me it was a sort of brush up on stuff every photographer should know, but I can see it being very helpful for beginners. I found it recently in the upstair Museums' little shop at Central Library. Well, I didn't tell you what camera to buy, but I think now you have an idea of what to look for! —A camera that can reach a high ISO —A lens which can operate at wide F-Stops would be preferable (at the very least 1.8 but can be higher or up to 25) —A decent Sensor —check out the battery life —make sure you have enough space for your pictures —have fun. The whole point is trial and error, don't be afraid to take pictures. I hope this helped. Post some pics when you're there!
  6. where may I find a decent duffel/duffle bag? Not online, need it soon for an unexpected move.
  7. I may not be as green as you say, but I'd be happy to join and enjoy company just the same.
  8. Are there any people who study the language and would like to get together to practice/learn?
  9. Wow, this sounds like fun. I can sing okay like, though not so much. I play rhythm guitar, but without an axe atm. I am a fan of bands like "The Dead Milkmen," does that help? Always up for some decent indecent music.
  10. So, did you find any information on this? I am curious to find a group to join as well. Pass on that info, please!
