I've been reading

I've been reading all night to figure out how to use my external flashes that I have, and all that i could figure out is that you want to measure the light that you have in the room and then stop 2 down. Which does not mean just to move two stops down from like f/4 to f/5; but it means to divided or multiply depending which why that you are going by 2. So i end up with f/4 to f/8, and then you adjust your shudder speed to relate. If you just move the f stop to f/8 then you would keep the same shutter speed, lets say 1/60. But then if you want to adjust and say go with a faster shutter speeded 1/125 then you need to bring down the f stop to f/5.6 to adjust on the scale. So i understand that part but my question is on the stobest's blog they don't tell me what to put my flashes on. They say to put i on manual but when I have it on manual it just has a much of different numbers going from 1/128 to 1/1 and then on the side it has a +/- .3, .7, and I have no idea what that means because that side does not explain it. So if anyone has any tips or answers I would be very thankful.

I just got!

The Battery Grip BG-E6, now i have no money, but my camera looks huge!

I know

I know this has nothing to do with art or anything but I was watching the movie 500 days of summer and i figure that his pretty much sums up my life with these pictures. I guess I made the screen caps so I guess i kind of made some art...?

Movies and real life

I like the whole idea of having these actors play out characters from their movies but no in costume. It is because of the actions that they are doing and making that you can tell what movie they are referencing. See if you can name all the movies...its not that hard to do. For a real challenge try to name the characters name too.

prints printed...

after a very stressful weekend everything is done, or at least to me now apears to be done until i figure out that i forgot to do something. My wonderful weekend started out friday morning when i went to the lab at 9am to print my pictures out only to have my hard drive not work on any of the computers. The power source for it would just not turn on. I freaked out for about 3 hours trying to get it to work and thinking of new ways to re shoot and have the project still ready by monday. Then after leaving school my hard drive decied to start working. I went back to school and got all my prints ready to print. It took me longer then I thought it would to print out because there was someone in front of me printing. So i ended up being pushed back till the end of the day, where they tell me come back on sunday and your prints will be ready. I was trying to get it done in one day but now i guess i have to drive back down sunday and pick up my prints. So today is sunday i come in at 1 only to find out that my prints have not printed out becuase the printer hates me, I stay around and my prints don't finish printing till 5pm. So what should have only taken a few hours on friday turned into two full days of work. I'm tired.

I stumbled across this guy on flickr and I really liked the way that he used the light in the background that is out of focus. It adds a very nice effect to the image. And no I'm not related to this guy.
