Canon SLR's

aroseclark18 @aroseclark18 (36) • United States 18 Apr 11

Ok, so I have a canon slr, the rebel xs. You tell me... if I wanted to do some serious photography is this really a good camera. I want to start a photography business. I'm thinking of taking pictures of babies, weddings,...

MrCoolantSpray I used a rebel xs for years and had no problems with it. If it's got a high enough resolution, you can get by perfectly fine with it. There are some features that higher end cameras have, like rear-curtain shutter sync for flash photography, which aren't...

MrCoolantSpray Most, if not all, digital SLRs have a setting to change the ISO of the camera. In low light conditions, you'll need to bump up the ISO. If you're shooting in full auto mode, the camera will do it for you, and it'll probably want to use the built-in flash too....

ID to vote

MrCoolantSpray I need a government issued ID to drive, how much more important is voting than driving? Having an ID is not racist. Everyone has to have one, and the only place to get one is the DMV. Everyone has to wait in line for hours, from rich capitalist to dirt-poor...

MrCoolantSpray Look at other people's work. I keep a example book of designs and layouts that I like and wouldn't have thought of on my own. I also found a book somewhere along the line--The Visual Thesaurus. It's written by the desing firm that did a lot of stuff with...

MrCoolantSpray Making money with photography is more about being a businessman and less about being a photographer. My suggestion: get to your library, and read some books on the business of photography, especially Photographer's Market for the current year. There might not...

The Birds revisted?

debrakcarey @debrakcarey (19887) • United States 20 Mar 11

As a child I was positively terrorized by the movie The Birds. I am beginning to be a bit frightened again. Mass deaths of animals and birds and fishes are being reported all over the world, unlike the Hitchcock movie where birds...

MrCoolantSpray IMO it's probably been going on for a very long time, it's just that now with the 24/7 news cycle we're hearing about it more. People are paranoid about anything that doesn't fit with the status quo, and birds falling from the sky certainly qualifies as that...

Eric Holder thinks black people are too stupid to pass police test

Taskr36 @Taskr36 (13963) • United States 16 Mar 11

Once again the left shows both how little they think of black Americans and how little they care for the safety of American citizens. Apparently the Dayton, OH police department hasn't met the Affirmative Action quota. As a...

MrCoolantSpray It's racist when you or I do it, but not when an institution demands it. It's as simple as that. But, it's not going to change anytime soon. It's the liberal party that demands affirmative action and cultivates the victim mentality. If a minority leaves...

Is PhotoShop the end all be all of photo editing programs?

serialmommy @serialmommy (639) • United States 15 Mar 11

Don't get me wrong, I like the way that PhotoShop works. It's a great program. However, it's so complicated to use. It's not user friendly in the least. Even the tutorials are confusing! I know that I barely touch the surface of...

MrCoolantSpray It's the industry standard. Most users won't use everything available--but it's nice to have for the one time every year that you do use it. Depending on what edits you typically use, there are loads of friendlier programs out there. My wife does a lot of...

Are Wisconsin Public Employees and their Supporters willing to "boycott" this?

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 15 Mar 11

Obama will help Japan but not help to oust Ghaddaffi

suspenseful @suspenseful (40192) • Canada 14 Mar 11

Sorry if I spelled the name wrong, but it upsets me that the rebels in Libya are losing and there is no no fly zone over Libya. Is it because Ghaddaffi is a strong man and that is why Obama just waivers on the issue? Or is it...

MrCoolantSpray The think you need to understand about Obama is that he is incapable of making a decision. He's a died-in-the-wool liberal, and they believe that violence never solved anything, despite evidence that violence has solved more important issues throughout history...

MrCoolantSpray I agree with you. My wife was born and raised in Africa (she's American now), and she said we just need to leave Africa alone. Cut off aid, stop sending charity over, and let them fend for themselves. The charity is just misused as soon as missionaries leave....

Unions in the US

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 14 Mar 11

Ok, I'm confused here. The left seems to act like everyone is clamoring to be in a union. They talk about how great unions are, how much labor appreciates them, and act like no one in their right mind would ever choose not to be...

MrCoolantSpray In several industries, in several states, union membership is a pre-condition of employment. You can't be a teacher in CA (I think) without belonging to one of the two major teacher's unions. Regardless of how you feel about unions extracurricular PACs, you...

Thugs take over the Wisconsin Capital

bobmnu @bobmnu (8157) • United States 10 Mar 11
