The photo on top was taken with my phone, the Samsung Galaxy S3 (file info claims f2.6, 1/15s, ISO 800), just for reference on how dark it is in here. My perception is that the room is slightly lighter than this, but certainly not as light as the bottom photo. The bottom photo is from my Canon EOS 5D mk.III (f4.0, 1/100, ISO102400).
This isn’t meant as a comparison of the two cameras. The first image is only meant as a reference of how dark the room is. And 100th of a second is a fairly fast shutter; I can reliably take sharp photos at half that speed and can occasionally get a passable photo at even slower (and with how grainy this is, it wouldn’t much matter). It’s essentially night vision.
And while the video does not go as high in the ISO range (it “only” goes to 25600), filming at 30fps means the shutter speed needs only be 1/30th of a second. That’s about three times the exposure time, at 1/4th the ISO, so the images are pretty close.
This is what I mean by having grown out of my original Olympus Evolt E-500. It served its purpose; it was cheap, it got me shooting, I learned a lot, and occasionally got a good shot, but it was like wringing blood out of a stone in comparison to this camera. Of course, there was about 5 years of technological development between the two, but you’re never going to get this type of performance out of Olympus’ tiny sensors. If you’re serious about photography, you need a full-frame camera.
Rules my Grandma’s Psychiatrist gave her in 56’
- Get some cheap dishes and break them when you get upset.
- Learn how to say “NO” and don’t feel guilty about it
- Buy something frivolous for yourself once in awhile, like a new hat.
- Never again do anything you don’t want to do.
Never again
I need to get on this dishes plan.

Anthony Bourdain: LIBYA
I’ve made a lot of hours of television over the years, but I think I’m proudest of Sunday’s Libya episode. I believe it is the best piece of work I’ve ever been part of. Some of that pride comes from recalling how difficult it was. My crew and I are not exactly seasoned veterans when it comes to… Looking forward to watching.
Fez (Xbox 360) Polytron 2012.
Gwawd, I loved Fez so much. It brought a tear to my eye, just hearing the music the first time. It was like someone had made a game specifically aimed right at my 30 year old, grew up with Nintendo heart, and said “gotcha, sucka!”.

An experiment in low-light photography. This was taken by the light of the kitchen, 20 feet away in a different room, and the light of my monitor. Quite impressed.
I love the composition
Thanks. It wasn’t a lot of effort, but I did try to arrange things for more than just a crappy, junky desk photo.
Written Word Series #7
Starting tomorrow…
Dear Gentle Readers:
The post queue for Moron4Hire will be kept such that 2 posts per day will publish automatically, once at 8:00am EDT and another one at 4:00pm EDT. I wanted 8 and 5, but I don’t exactly get to choose when they go out; I can only choose the time range over which a certain number of posts get divided. I wanted 2 posts a day and I wanted morning and afternoon, so this was the closest I could get.
Anyway, most of it will be art, probably primarily photography. I’ll be posting some writing on technology and business along the way, and maybe even some short stories if I feel up to it. I’ll try to keep everything appropriately hash-tagged so that you may follow it at your leisure.
Thank you.
-Sean

hollyjadephotographer asked: hiya, I'm trying to expand my 'likes' on Facebook (slight cringe begging here) if you think my works a bit of alright and you're feeling generous, would you mind going to the top corner of my page, clicking through and 'liking' my page? No worries if not, this is pure cheeky. But if you do, thank you veryyyy muchly! Holly x ps, dope tumblr!
