i wish it was a more intersting story

Moving out of my dorm/apt, I had a large tv that was moving with my rather small roommate, got it down the stairs but when we went to put it on a dolly before i got a solid grip he lost his. I wasn't fast enough puling my finger out and it got caught under the falling tv. Between pulling my finger out and the weight of the TV it crushed my finger causing two fractures, tore my nail out, and essentially tore the skin around my finger bad enough it as hanging on by a flap - saw bone. Bled a lot and since it was on campus i got my first ambulance ride.

On a side note, any opinions of my (tentative) build?

Dave! Guess who's got a physical and drug screening tomorrow at 2 PM for a 64" 6 color sheet fed press feeder operator position at a well known printing company?! Yay, hopefully this works out....I've been trying so hard now for 16 months trying to get back into industrial printing. :D

I mean, there's still 3 more months of getting paid for nothing left but it got old long ago. Plus I've been doing it by mail here lately too which is a PITA.

And no, I'm not interested in your CF strut bar. :lol:

Looks pretty decent. Here's mine. The only thing is that the i7 is supposed to be discontinued by September so if you're looking for upgradeability AMD is the way to go.

I already have a black P182 case it's great and I already have 2+ terabytes of space.

Bored as hell and procrastinating on some HW. So thought I'd play with some lighting and flash compensation. Didn't really turn out well...I need some new lenses and a decent flash.

EDIT: Adjusted levels and processed it a little.

I'm not going to be a big fag like Dave and tell you your chin is not strong enough for a goatee, however I will say that overall the photo isn't bad. Your fronthead is blown out though, but the framing is good, however I'd move you over about an inch or so to seperate yourself from the hookah. Or even move the hookah over instead, so that you can avoid being dead center in the photo. Most importanly, use a better beer in the photo. Remember that your shutter speed controls AMBIENT light, NOT the flash. The aperture controls the effectiveness of your flash in a photo. Your max sync speed is 1/250th, anything faster than that you'll start getting black lines in your photos. So for example, you can run a shutter speed of 1/10th of a second to pull the ambient light in, and stop down to f5 to control the fash. I also like to go into the menu and change the flash sync to sync with the rear of the shutter. Hope that helps.

Example

1/160th f6.3

I'm so glad you commented on this. I've been needing some pointers. I promise to read it later when I can acually comprehend it LOL.

BLL is the shit!

yea it's a good "get wasted" beer. hence...why i've drank a 6 in an hour.

and i don't even drink that much!

EDIT: yea I really need to get a decent flash. I'm still using the integrated flash. Really need to pick up something like an SB-600. Roommate showed me a DIY ring flash attachment that'd be awesome, but i suspect it would compliment a 50mm better than the 18-55mm
