Comment on Beginner’s Guide to HDR by Henry McGilton

Henry McGilton — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 23:55:07 +0000

So I was trying to do HDR and I started off doing it ‘wrong’, so I thought, hey, Jared has a tutorial on HRD. Sure enough, I was doing things wrong . . . So I read through your tutorial, and all becomes clear, especially your note about Aperture Priority . . .

However, my camera, a Digital Rebel EOS XTi, has a (at least in my view) peculiar bracketing function. As far as I can tell, I can bracket Blue/Amber, or Green/Magenta, but, I see no way to bracket both. In addition, fairly extensive web searches on the subject have turned up nothing useful that might tell me (1) if bracketing in bot axes is even possible, and, if not, which axis ought I to bracket.

Cheers, Henry

Comment on What is a Deep-Fried Pizza? by Help Ma Boab

I discovered the pizza crunch a couple years ago at lunchtime, watching my mate scoff it nearly put me off my roll and fritter!

The Emperor of heart failure has to be the Donner Calzone:

A Donner Calzone is a folded over 16″ pizza dough filled with Donner kebab meat topped with about half a block of cheese then deepfried with a wee tub of chili sauce.

Costs about £3.00 from the local Indian “Resteraunt” run by Turks.

Tastes brilliant after a crawl but leaves you shiting lava for a week and takes about five years off of your life expectancy!

Ian:

“Let’s put this “supper” thing to bed once and for all.

A fish supper (or indeed haggis, black pudding, pie etc) is fish and chips.”

So in Scotland, if I order a haggis I have to ask for fish and chips. Thanks, will try that next time I’m there.

Fantastic!

I love all forms of fried food from the supreme Scottish chippy, although I rarely frequent such establishments these days due to the obvious downsides to eating regularly. And I am of an age when the Doc starts to give you lectures.

I too was a student in Edinburgh, and I reckon I had a doner pizza from the aforementioned purveyor of post pub gastro-delights. I’m still here, no ill effects. “Salt and sauce, mate?” top lolz

Jesus H Christ on a bike!!! No wonder the ‘Sweaty Socks’ have the highest rates of heart attacks in Europe.

Comment on Photography, Terrorism and how it’s all changed by Wokstation

Actually even under Terrorism law they cannot make you delete your photographs. Nor can they take your camera without first arresting you (PACE).

It requires a court-order to force the deletion of your images.

Christ, that looks superb. I wish there were somewhere here in Toronto that sold these. Admittedly, I’d settle for the munchy box, but either that or this would rule.

Pizza Crunch is delicious. Almost as good as a battered haggis or a battered burger.

My favourite chippies are Humes in Alloa and the Bridge Cafe in Sauchie.
