RE: 30+ Degree Of Climb?! - Please Explain This Ph

Look for the horizon in the reflections of the nacelles. It's a natural plumb line. No matter what the plane is doing, and despite some angular distortion due to the contour, the reflected horizon will always show the way to level...

Bruce. Nope. It's been there. Most people think it's a private parking lot. It's directly below and to the South of the tower.

Midfield Park at BFI. That's the other Bill ruining his roof.

Mt. Rainier can be seen to the right on the horizon.

RE: The Q

Royal...

When is the 300D coming out with the "prop blur" mode?

RE: Good Flashes?

Phil, The off-shoe flash cord gives you more freedom and flexibility with where the light falls. When the flash is on the shoe facing forward, you tend to get a very bright, featureless illumination with no tonal range. With the flash off the shoe, you can angle the light giving a more "natural" loo...

what military action should look like

Do you mean $60 worth of one dollar bills for table dances?

Temp: 59°F
Real Feel: 59°F
Humidity: 93%
Wind: 0 mph CLM
Pressure: 29.86 in.
Visibility: 4 mi.

Don't fret Royal. Now you can stay home and alphebetize your slide collection by rivet serial number.

Yep... all you "point and shooters" can stay home now.

RE: Whats In Your Bag?

One blue crushed-velvet suit.

One frilly lace cravat.

One gold medallion with peace symbol.

One pair of Italian shoes.

One pair of tie-dyed socks, purple.

One vinyl recording album: Tom Jones, Live at Las Vegas.

One Swedish-made penis enlarger pump.

RE: Hope For These Two?

Dan, The second shot is very good. But it does seem to need a little more room (and vapor trail for that matter) to have it fit nicely in the "rule of thirds." Right now the plane is just slightly off-center. And that looks kinda weird. I totally know what you were trying to achieve, but in this cas...

RE: So I Gave Them The Picture And They Never Paid

Keep in mind that some companies have 30 day billing cycles. And depending on when they received your invoice may affect when your check is cut. (If it came in a day after all checks are cut, you'll have to wait another 30 days.) The best thing to do is put a 30 day payment due date on your invoice ...
