Low light photography - how can I improve it?

DivePeak Yes, it is POSSIBLE, but it's definitely NOT COOL. And you might be surprised how good coroners are at telling the difference between an accident and murder or manslaughter. Talking about it here or elsewhere in the way you have could also escalate the charge...

DivePeak There are significant cultural variations in what people consider acceptable to eat. Each culture has a "rational" explanation, too, like not eating cats because they kill rats, which is not applicable or considered in other cultures. I'm a vegetarian, so...

DivePeak Actually, I think the biggest problem with water is not a lack of contrast or defining features, but the fact that it moves between exposures so there is no reference points for the pano software to grab onto. In terms of the blury section, if you have...

DivePeak In the days of film, Minolta was the equal of Nikon and Canon, and their lenses were absolutely top rate. Unfortunately they were very late into the digital game, and couldn't compete with the other manufacturers. That's when Sony entered the picture and...

Would you confront an intruder in your home?

mipen2006 @mipen2006 (5528) • Australia 13 Jul 09

I just heard on the news, that a man disturbed an intruder in his home around midnight. He told the intruder to "go away" - anyway, that's the language used on the news - The intruder pushed him, and told him to go away. He then...
