Leader SS looks good in bot mode. Lots of articulation though the gimmicks hamper wrist movement to just up and down, no rotation. Fighter mode is.. it looks like a pregnant guppy with wings.

heh.. ware-wolf... evil wolves who dress as door to door flatware salesmen. You open the door to see the dining plate but YOU'RE what's for dinner! DUN DUN DUN!

It's funny, even in the comics the super soldier serum only worked for a small number of people. Most people exposed to it had horrible side effects.

a nikon d90 with the 55-200mm f/4-5.6dx kit lens. I sat on the seat with my knees up and put my camera bag on top and used it to brace the camera. To get any sort of action shot you're going to need to keep your shutter speed around 100 at a bare min. So try to keep your F stop as low as you can while still being able to keep focus and play around with your ISO to find what's tolerable for you. Nah. Given everything else is the same, at 50m with a 200mm lens, your depth of field at f/1.8 is something like 12 feet. At f/5.6 it's around 30 ft. At the range we're talking about here.. 150ft with a 300mm lens. The depth of field at f/1.8 is only 5 ft while at 5.6 it's 17ft.

at that range a fast lens is pretty worthless though. A low f stop would help with the low light but the focus range would be so shallow it would be really hard to get anything in focus, especially in a chaotic concert environment. An f stop of 5.6 will should be fast enough as long as you're using spot metering and using the stage lights to get your shots exposed. It's definitely possible though. I took this shot with a slow lens and it was hand held.

yeah, January works for me. Next two months are a bit busy and all -
Nakajima.. I have a thing for long hair.

suddenly I want one...

I'm pretty sure the wizard did it.

Most people will accept anything as long as the right flag is draped around it.

that we're really really whiney?

CollectionDX's review of the hi-metal 1j is up

just remember though, at that range the slightest movement on your part will introduce motion blur. You're going to want to brace the camera against something, a bag or something draped over the seats in front of you, etc. Well, I'm really not sure what "half a field" means. If you mean it's around 50m, yeah, a 300mm lens will get you body shots.
-
what sort of shots do you want? The stage, the band or face shots? I'd go for the panasonic 100-300mm. Reach is one of those things you just can't cheat. And make sure you set the light metering to "spot".

He looks like a wee widdle birdy

yeah, now he's white and yellow. very cute in his "gerwalk" mode.

Picked up this little guy today and I gotta say I really like him

"can" and "should" are two different things.

nope. Fedex and UPS have an option for signature required but it needs to be actively selected, it's not the default option. I don't see it often as even an option on most websites though you can always request it in the "notes" field. Usually when you put something in the note field in flags the order and someone will actually read it so it might slow the processing down, depending on volume. What's great is when the package IS stolen. I've heard from a lot of people that the reps they send out to verify the loss will treat the intended recipient as a thief rather than as a victim.
-
Unless the package is marked signature required most drivers don't bother, they'll just drop the package off on your door step, front office, wherever is most convenient for them. Occasionally you get the awesome, hard working, conscientious delivery person who actually cares but they're few and far between.
-
They usually give you the option of either picking up the package yourself the next business day or scheduling a redelivery.

I really don't know if Pern would ever translate well into film... In order to stop the dread space thread they bio-engineer giant psychic, teleporting, fire breathing dragons they have to ride on... some stuff really only works in books.

yeah... modesto is a bit out of the way.. -
the 21/22 nose does lock down. The alpha would be a better toy if the plastic didn't have the strength of a stale brownie. It literally crumbles apart over time... which is the only thing the MPC vf-1 has over it. Otherwise that POS is a floppy mess in every mode.
