Oil paintings are moments caught in time to enhance experience in Brooklyn. City trees in a backdrop of intricate architecture and mind wonderings. Drawings of inner portraits-how I feel inside-drawn formally as distinct images. Drawings also catch daily moments on the subway and experimentation of line. Photography of life's immediate moments of sunrise, sunset reflected on the glow only light can fathom. Learning from experimentation, the drive to be creative, and endurance to continue making art are aspects to treasure.

The Queue: Pandapocalypse
I was right in that there are no laws against virtual pandas getting shivved or whatever, but there definitely was an issue with the Pandaren race, culturally. It's much more likely it just ran into a lot of friction when it came down to dealing with censors and the cultural shift, and it became not worth it to risk losing players over. I'm sure the fact that the Pandarens' original design was much more Japanese (see above) than Chinese didn't help, but that was shifted in the right direction eventually and may not have had an actual impact at all. And with that said...
Cadychan asked...
I don't know if this is more of a lore question, but here goes: The dragons. Yes, the dragons. How did the race itself come to be? Were the five dragon Aspects already part of an existing dragon race, and the Titans were like "BAM! Here's some powers, 'cause I like the way you five do things around here," or more of a 'the Titans created the dragons as avatars and bestowed them with specific powers and tasks'?
I think it's a little from column A, a little from column B. I suspect the Proto-Drakes ar what the Dragons were like before Titan involvement, but I'm not sure if there's anything that specifically says that. Just that there's some relation. All of the Aspects were made from Galakrond's offspring, so the race was already there in some capacity. It's probably safe to assume they (as a race) were there before the Titans, and the Titans just made them awesome.
eddiebinde531 asked...
I have questions on 25 man Naxx, why did Blizzard constantly say you should bring the player not the class this expansion yet made Instructor Razuvious and Grand Widow Faerlina in heroic need priests to MC their adds?
In response to me wondering this during the 10 man version, a guildie said Blizz might be giving another class the ability to MC as well. I seriously doubt it but want to know what WI thinks about this rumor.
I don't think they'll be doing that. 'Bring the player not the class' is tossed around all the time, but only goes so far. Encounters couldn't have any diversity at all if you had to avoid including a special class ability. It's safe to assume that you have a Priest of some sort in your 25-man raid. Holy, Discipline, Shadow, whatever. Razuvious can be done with one Priest, it just takes some high quality play on the part of everyone else. It'd be a problem if you needed 3+ Priests, like Felmyst.
A much easier alternative would be to just keep those crystals in Heroic mode for Razuvious, if something had to be done at all. Giving out Mind Control to another class entirely is sort of silly.

The Tour of the Battenkill is the closest thing I have to a home-town race, having lived in upstate New York for a good swath of my young adulthood. I grew up, as it were, riding those roads – testing myself on the repeated hills, dirt roads and whipping winds. As such, I look forward to Battenkill all year and think that it's one of the best-organized and most intense races of the calendar. I knew heading into this year's race that the team was well-prepared and motivated for a result. I'm happy to say the result was just about as good as we could have hoped for.
The weather on race day was about as expected for upstate New York in mid April: windy, moderately cold and with passing rain showers. An exceptionally wet winter actually improved the conditions of the dirt roads, and in many sections we found the dirt to be smoother than the pavement, which made for fast, spirited riding on the dirt sections.
The Battenkill course is basically a series of rolling hills. For the majority of the race, you're either going up or you're going down. The few flat sections at the beginning of the race normally see copious attacking and despite the long and technical course, it's best to contain the attacks lest an early and strong breakaway gets down the road and is able to maintain a lead that turns into a true threat. Not one for the hills, Kyle kept control of the front end of the race on the early flat sections, reeling in attack after attack.
By the second time over Juniper Swamp Road (basically a dirt wall that we climb a couple times) the group had thinned out considerably. By this time it was just a matter of attrition. The goal was to stay on the front end of the group and stay in contact with the leaders; keep the pace high enough to discourage attacks and breakaways. Despite this, the occasional group did manage to get down the road – usually individual riders trying to make a go at it. Jackson did a tremendous amount of work at the front of the race during the last half to reel back in these potentially dangerous attacks, repeatedly turning himself inside out to control the pace and neutralize threats. It became funny, actually. Several times I thought Jackson was done, cracked and off the back. Then, out of nowhere he'd appear, riding up past me to chase something down, saying "I got this one, Boss," as he sped past. It was an impressive display of teamwork and assured that I could stay protected and not waste energy prior to the final 20 miles.
Just after the second feedzone, and with about 20k to go is where things usually get real; attacks start and the pace stays about as high as possible for the remainder of the race. Meetinghouse Road is a sinister dirt section that's a series of steep hills, one after the other. It's a place where the group thins out greatly and the right move can get away and stay away. Sure enough, the pace quickened, and with each successive hill, the group gradually diminished. My plan at this point was survival – just stay toward the front of the group over Meetinghouse and then the final climb of the day up Stage Road.
The final climb itself isn't that hard. It's a stair-step climb on dirt, without any particularly steep sections. What makes it truly difficult is that it comes at the end of 80 miles of viscious hills, so the legs are a bit worn out by the time this final section begins. We came up over the top of this final climb with a group numbering around 25 out of the original 150 starters. Jackson had done his part to contain the race and fell off the group at the bottom of the climb. As such, I went into the finale without teammates.
From the top of the final climb, it's a fast descent down to the final kilometers – a long, flat drag into the town of Cambridge. Containing a group here is hard. Everyone wants the win and attacks begin to come immediately and without pause. I knew that if I stayed toward the front, I would have a good chance in the finish. This year's Battenkill finish was different than the previous years where we finished on the long, flat main street in Cambridge. This year, we crossed over main street and then quickly executed two sharp right hand turns just prior to the finish line on a side street in front of the Cambridge Hotel. The finish is nearly identical to the now-defunct Balloon Fest race that used to be held in Cambridge in June. I'd done well at that race many times before and knew the finish tactics well.
Coming into the final mile, a small group of 3 had attained a gap of about 5 seconds over the rest of the field. I was tucked into third wheel coming across main street and into the final turns. After the penultimate turn, I attacked as hard as I could. I caught the 3-man group just prior the final turn onto the finish straight and went around them, holding as much speed as I could through the turn, narrowly avoiding the barrier on the left side of the road. From that point, it was about 100 meters to the line, so it was an all-out sprint. I was able to hold off a charging field to cross the line with a good gap built up behind me.
I knew I had won the field sprint, but it was unclear to me at that point how I had done in the overall. Battenkill is one of those races where individual riders get off the front of the main group and then get brought back, one after the other, mile after mile. I knew we caught the majority of them during the final climb and subsequent run into town, but I wasn't sure. It turns out that one rider had impressively managed to hold a few precious seconds gap over the field to take the win. I'd have to content myself with second place on the day, and I was pleased with that.
As I sat there, collecting myself, other team riders began to trickle in. Jackson and Kyle were especially jubilant – my podium position having justified their sacrifice early on. Time for podium and celebratory consumption of Battenkill Valley Chocolate Milk.
All in all, a success for the team and a good race. Thanks to Sarah and Gretchen for the feeds, Marty for allowing a gaggle of bike racers access to his house, and Dieter Drake for hosting another great Battenkill.

Multicolored Knitted Sari Pouf
Great Pouf, Great Size!
I had been "visiting" this pouf on the website for a while. Last night I finally went over to the store to see it in person. I'm so glad I did. It is perfect in every way! It's big enough so when you sit on it you don't feel like you are doing a deep squat to get into it, you just sit. Then getting up I didn't feel like I had to crawl or get help. Bad knees and squatting don't mix. I've got a very colorful living room so it was important that the pouf matched but didn't look like we were trying to match it, our sofa is a deep red, we have a teal chair, a purple loveseat and an orange recliner. This pouf looks like it was made for the room! It matches without trying to match because of all of the colors in it. I would also highly recommend this to someone who wants to add color to their room but isn't ready to do what we did. This would look great in any room and adds a splash of color in a way that isn't over powering. I think I may actually go back and buy a second one.

I love this pouf
This is one of my favorite items. I was immediately attracted to the multi colors. Although this item is a bit over priced I watched and waited for a discount coupon before I purchased it online. When it arrived I was surprised how light weight it is. I couldn't be more pleased with this purchase.
November 10, 2013
fun colorful pouf
I am a little late to the pouf trend but I really love this pouf! We bought it to use as a footrest but more often find ourselves sitting on it instead of the sofa. It adds a burst of color to our otherwise sedate blue and grey den.

Slow Sync Flash
One camera function that can be a lot of fun to play with (and that can get you some interesting results) is slow sync flash.
Low Light Photography Options
When shooting with a subject in low light situations you generally have two options; either to shoot with a flash or to shoot with a slow shutter speed.
1. Flash – When shooting in low light with a flash in auto mode your camera will choose a relatively fast shutter speed. This means that your subject will be well lit and that if it is moving it will be frozen and as a result will be sharp. The problem with this is that it can also leave your subject lit up too brightly and can leave it's background looking very dark as there is not enough time for the camera to collect any ambient light.
2. Slow Shutter Speed – The other option is to turn your flash off and shoot with a longer shutter speed in order to collect enough available light from the image to get a well exposed shot. This can be an effective technique if you're shooting landscape or environmental shots where everything is nice and still – however if you're shooting a moving subject it means you'll get motion blur which could ruin your shot.
Both of the above options are legitimate technique but both have their weaknesses. Another options to consider is slow sync flash.
What is Slow Sync Flash?
Slow Sync Flash is a function found on many cameras that tells your camera to shoot with both a longer shutter speed as well as firing the flash. This means you get the best of both worlds above and can both get a relatively sharp shot of your main subject as well as get some ambient light from the background and foreground.
Some cameras allow you to access slow sync flash manually and set exposure length and flash strength but on many compact cameras there is a little less control given and it's presented as an automatic shooting mode, often called 'night mode' or even 'party mode' where the camera selects the slower shutter speed and flash strength for you.
Rear and Front Curtain Sync
If your camera gives you some manual control when it comes to slow sync flash you might find yourself presented with two options called 'rear curtain sync' and 'front curtain sync'.
These two modes sound a little technical but to put it most simply they are the way in which you choose when to fire your flash during the longer exposure.
Rear Curtain Sync – this tells your camera to fire the flash at the end of the exposure. ie when you press the shutter your lens opens up and starts collecting light and just before it closes the flash will fire to light up and freeze your main subject (see the card shot to the left for an example where you'll see the card trail ending in a nice crisp shot of the card).
Front Curtain Sync – this tells your camera to fire the flash at the start of the exposure. ie when you press the shutter, the flash will fire immediately and the shutter will remain open afterwards capturing ambient light.
You might not think there's much difference between these modes but when you're photographing a moving subject it can have a real impact. You'll find many action/sports photographers will use Rear Curtain Sync when shooting with a panning technique.
Tripod or Handheld?
When using either slow synch in either mode (or in the automatic 'night mode' you will want to consider whether or not to use a tripod. Traditionally when shooting with longer shutter speeds it is accepted that a tripod is essential in order to stop any camera movement. Even the steadiest of hands will not be able to stop a camera moving over even a 1 or 2 second exposure. So if you want to eliminate blur from your cameras movement definitely use a tripod (and consider a shutter release cable).
However in some circumstances hand holding your camera while using slow sync flash can lead to some wonderful effects. For example if you're at a wedding or party and are out on the dance floor the results can be great at capturing the mood of a night with those you're photographing largely frozen by the flash but the lights on the dance floor blurred from you moving your camera during the shot.
Of course hand held techniques won't work with every situation so experiment with both methods at different shutter speeds and by using both rear and front curtain sync and find the best methods for your particular situation.

May 10, 2012 11:40 pm
A very nice moment to use this technique is focussing on a dj's decks and at the end of the exposure aiming at the dj himself, you can then see the record spinning around the dj!
May 7, 2012 01:53 am
I'm so irritated right now because I can't find a single web site that will give the technical specifics on how to accomplish any of these. These are just simple explanations. I know there is so much more to it than this.. I'm just frustrated. Forgive my venting...

September 16, 2011 03:14 pm
Darren, I was surprised to see your name on this post when I found it. Why is it whenever I Google for a little help for my blog, I end up finding YOU?! Anyway, I've had a terrible time with the photos for my blog, and had already played with the auto settings and made some -- but not complete -- progress eliminating the funky shadows. Reading this post encouraged me to try again, and I accidentally found the source of the annoying shadows in my photos. I had some wall hung task lighting on, trying to increase the light in the room. Those lights were just throwing awkward shadows. Turning them off, then using just the central ceiling fixture plus some of the different auto settings ("portraits," "kids and pets," and "indoor" worked particularly well) solved the shadow problem. I thought I might have to buy some expensive light diffuser. You've saved me money and aggravation. Can't thank you enough for all the help you've provided for my blog.
September 13, 2011 10:08 pm
Are there any compact cameras offering the rear-curtain feature? Some websites say Canon S95 has it but it is rather expensive. eopinions.com say the recent PowerShot SX230 HS has it. An authoritative list would be a great help.
August 29, 2011 01:42 pm

Does the Nikon D90 have the rear and front curtain sinc? Thanks
June 28, 2011 10:32 pm
Hi, some week ago I tried with my nikon d90 and his integrated flash to reproduce Johnny Blood's shot. It didn't work. I just saw transparent hand in my picture. Is there an easy test that I can do to try slow sync without an external flash ? Could my problem be preflash ? I don't think so. Thanks :)

November 11, 2010 10:14 am
Your sample shots are very cool by the way.
November 4, 2010 12:37 pm
Ahhhhhhh ...you should teach people how to shoot in Manual mode, or with an SLR ( film, not digital ) if you want everyone to truely understand what your saying instead of asking you what the setting is on thier camera. the best way to use flash is to actually use it like a real photographer, not letting your camera make desions for you. This is coming from a student phtographer perpective ( graduate in spring ). You will learn way more using manual settings and calculating your GN on your hotshoe unit. Then, oh my god, you people will not have problems with your subjects being unexposed and ghost like, because you will have learned how to calculate flash output, your shutter speed and your distance, and this would not happen. If you want to learn more about flash, ditch your expensive DSLR's and get a much cheaper film camera and enjoy the sweet smell of developer :)
October 28, 2010 07:04 am
I hadn't heard the term slow sync flash before, but we do this every time we go to a wedding reception. We shoot in fully manual mode, so we control our shutter speed with each shot. Basically, what you're really getting with this technique is 2 different exposures. One exposure is what you have your camera set at - ie a 30th of a second. The second exposure is the exposure of the flash itself, which is super fast.
August 3, 2010 12:05 am
Thx for telling this information so easy !!!
June 1, 2010 05:38 am
I have a Nikkon D-40 and it doesn't have front curtain sync and rare curtain sync options, but it does have manual flash mode where it says full power or 1/2 till 1/32. Now whatever that means how can I use slow sync techniques on my camera...
May 27, 2010 02:04 pm
I'd like to ask a question about composing my shot.
Before I ask, let me say that I'm pretty much a novice but trying my best to learn.
What is the best way to shoot a photo with good results when using slow sync flash? What I mean is, should the subject be in high contrast to the background? Does it matter? If there is any light in the room, should it be behind the subject or to the side? How fast or slow should the subject be moving to get the best result? Any answers would be appreciated. Thanks.
March 29, 2010 03:59 pm
Very interesting! The illustration has given me a very good insight on Rear & Front curtain sync. Thanks a lot.
March 22, 2010 11:09 pm
"SLOW SYNC MODE" doesn´t exist in Canon, so in that modes that the camera set automatically the shutter speed, you wont be able to play with it. This modes are Av & P.
You have 2 options: use Tv or M mode to set manually a slower shutter speed. -
March 6, 2010 05:21 am
Very interesting viewing. These pictures have turned out great. I must give this a try.

Gotta love this technique - it's awesome for weddings, too.
September 21, 2009 02:35 am
anybody can explain whats the difference between slow, rear, and slow rear flash please?
Senario: You know how those fancy pictures are taken in night clubs where the photographer shoots at a group of ppl and then swirl the camera around so that the picture comes out with the people still looking sharp with a twirl of background colorful lights across the picture?
September 14, 2009 09:30 am
In the wedding night party - "M" ,1/4 , f 8-f12, flash, max 1 metr from obiekt.
August 25, 2009 05:48 pm
Every thig is fine but the present days cameras, that came after F80 / F100. Pricisely the Di cameras don't have the threading on the shutter release button to screw on the shutter release chord that absolutely essentialy for the shakesless & Slow Speed shutter release.
The slow shutter speed & full opening night shots, that is held for the quite a long duration exposures cannot be achieved with 100% effect.
Those who have nervous problems, heavy breathing with heavy body structure will have some difficulty in releasing the shutter even though the camera is mounted on a solid heavy Tri Pod. As per your comments what is the use of using the Tri Pod for the essential requirements with quality, less than the 100% with the above said draw backs. Thank U. Have a Nice day

I love slow flash its make my picture look so clear and didnt look so flashy and very minimize shadows...Another tips...you can use slow flash for people just set to high ISO setting ...this only recommended for low noise HI ISO camera like newest DSLR
July 10, 2009 01:35 pm
Thank's for the info..more i know ..more i don't know......

To Darren
Thanks for the good job of explaining slow and rear synch. Earlier today I became frustrated when reading someone else's article on these. So I went back to the computer and searched more. I came up with your article and decided to give it a go. With your article I grasped the message you were conveying to the reader the very first time through the article. So you have done a very good job simplifying and explaining this.
I have the D300 and I familiarized myself with it over the last year now. It has not been easy. With such a complex camera I think the best strategy is to "find yourself" inside the camera and then stick with this set of personal "default" settings most of the time. But even then one needs to understand and practice certain highly valuable techniques that are not used all the time and will require changing settings, and then changing back to the personal defaults. Slow and rear sych are perfect examples. I need to become proficient with these. You have given me a basic beginning understanding. Now it is going to take practice. One beauty of digital is that unlike film, it costs nothing to practice. With this D300 once I find the correct exposure settings I can choose to let the camera take over automatically (and I do choose that), i.e. I have no intentions of going manual. Been there done that. Thanks again and happy shooting!

I cannot believe I am getting this kind of stupid reply from an adult - if you are one. Your mother should teach you some manners, boy. Maybe she did try, but you were just too much a moron to take advantage of that.
March 31, 2009 09:56 am
...then why did you take so much "precious" time to comment back
that's a hell of a dumbass investment -
March 27, 2009 11:17 am
Evan, I must apologize for the silly "did" mistake, as I usually don't commit such language crimes. But I keep the "investment", since my time is very precious, and every minute I spend at the computer doing something that is not related to my work at all HAS to be an investment.
March 26, 2009 11:19 pm
great information, want to try this tonight.. with my canon 400d.
great tips to explore...
regards to all
March 26, 2009 05:31 am
it's free, dude.
not an investment...
and it'd be investments i've made, not investments i did -
March 25, 2009 10:42 am
Darren, finding this blog was one of the best investments I did for my photography. Thanks a lot for the tips.
February 12, 2009 04:29 pm
Does anyone know how to do this on a canon g10? I know this is an old post and I just got into photography so any help will be much appreciated! :)
January 7, 2009 02:16 pm
Thanks for the tips. I have this problem for so long, especially during Christmas when I wanted to take pictures of my friends in front of the Christmas light. Without flash, it would be a total darkness of the persons and using flash simply destroy all the beautiful background.
In my case, since mine is canon S5 IS, it is called 1st and 2nd curtain sync.

hi everyone...i just want to ask if anyone could help me how to set those technique above for my Sony alpha 300 i only found low and rear sync..but i don't have rear and front curtain...how can i apply those technique...email me at firstname.lastname@example.com tnx...
January 5, 2009 10:32 am
This is a great technique that gets a lot of good feedback and this is a great tutorial on how to use it.. concise and informative, nice job.

Can I purchase a set of these rear flash curtains from my local Jessops or would it be possible to make a set using a sewing machine?????
December 23, 2008 10:07 am
I made a tutorial for slow sync flash with some of my own tips and tricks.
It can be found on my blog here. I hope you find it useful. -

Hi Al,
Thank you very much for the answer.Yet I don't get why it needs to figure out the light.Please correct me if I am wrong but if the camera is already adjusted to "freeze" only the last frame then that's not really needed to check the current light and fire the flash in the begining. Unfortunately my camera is not with me at the moment so I cannot check. Did you have any chance to experience it by yourself? I wonder if other models have the same features.
December 15, 2008 07:54 pm
Hi Emre,
Someone told me that the flash at the start is just for it to figure out the light, and it is actually working as a rear-curtain thingummyjig.

Does anyone happen to know the answer of Alastair's question? I also have set the rear-sync on my Canon 400D,and the flash fires at the beginning as well as the end. I dont get what's the point of having two flash fires???
Thank you in advance,
December 13, 2008 08:03 am
Hey guys,
Ive been trying this in a variety of different lighting situations with a lot of different ISO's, shutter speeds, and apertures and can't get anything to turn out quite right. Any suggestions?
September 17, 2008 05:08 am
@ Patrick:
I agree with you mate - there are so many people asking the same question about how to do this on their particular model of camera. If you don't know, then read your manual or google it before you post on here - that's just being really lazy and it gets really boring when someone new (like me) goes to read all the comments.
I have a 450D and now I'm off to read my manual to see how this works!
September 15, 2008 07:22 am
I have set the rear-sync on my Canon 400D, but the flash fires at the beginning as well as the end…. Can anyone help? The manual says that this will happen, but this seems to suggest to me that the rear-sync function is useless on the 400D....?
Thank you!

no need to be cocky. a lot of people know most of the easy-to-find functions on their cameras. since you know, just help them out. no need to lash out.
July 10, 2008 07:55 am
Holy cow, are there so many people who dropped massive amounts of money on cameras and have no idea how to use them? I'm waiting for someone to ask how they set rear curtain sync on a 1DsMk3 or D200...

Amazing tutorial. One question though, how do I get the rear curtain sync on my Canon EOS 5D with a Canon Speedlite 580EX?
Many thanks.
January 25, 2008 11:14 pm
Loving the rear-curtain sync stuff, will try that, thanks :)
January 9, 2008 06:21 pm
My point-and-shoot has the front/back curtain option and i never knew what it is. unfortunately my brother just broke the screen so i can't see what settings I'm on, or else I'd try this out. Only a week until my new Digital SLR arrives though, so this will be one of the first things I experement with!!
December 14, 2007 09:47 am
This helps a lot... I'm buying a flash this weekend, because I have to take pictures at a wedding next week. I'm a horrible flasher and thought it was no fun. But looking at these pictures, makes me wanna grap my cam and go play. Thanx, really helpful.

You need to set your camera to rear curtain sync, set a shutter speed slow enough to record a bit of action and click away, everything you need to know is on this page! -

For owners of the Canon XTi (400D)- Check out page 106 in your instruction manual. All is revealed there.

Have been trying this last weekend with my 40d, it's a great techniques to try - am loving it :)
June 11, 2007 11:13 pm
Yuva. Get a mobile (cell) phone with an LED light "flash". Go on to manual settings. Set iso to your second highest number. Set the exposure time to something like 5 seconds, and I usually use f8.0 too. put the camera on a tripod. Set the self-timer to 5 seconds. Setup your phone to put the LED light on. Click the button. Draw the shape. The Longer the exposure times the more complex the photo you can get. Use more than one phone to draw big things - like the "Revolution" photo - it took three phones at 15 second exposure.
June 11, 2007 05:49 pm
Really Cool snaps alex mcroberts cud you share how you took those . Really amazing... Can anyone tell me how to do this in Canon IXUS 800 IS
June 1, 2007 08:51 am
louis- You cant really fix that in photoshop as far as i know. It happened because when you use a slow shutter speed and the subject moves too much or moves out of the frame it gets faed since it was such little time that the subject was in the position. To fix it:
take the pic again, try using a different aperature setting to make your friend stand out more, and use a faster shutter speed. I use around 4-8(hundredths) for this kind of thing, you may want to bring it to 10 depending on the speed of the subject (in this case, the skater).
but a good rule is if its really fast, make the shutter speed 3-5 stops slower than you "should." otherwise do 4-8 or so. and to keep the background from distracting from the subject, play around w/ the aperature to control whats in focus and whats not.
Another cool thing you can do that might have been mentioned here earlier is to turn off the flash, put shutter speed to 4-8, and move the camera around while exposing. Try rotating, steaking across, up, down, anything. my personal favorite thing to do is zoom in while exposing. gives it a great motion. its awesome.
June 1, 2007 07:44 am
Hey!! i tried it with a friend that was skating, front curtain sync, unfortunately in the shot the background looks awesome but mi friend looks like a ghost. Does anyone know a way i can correct this in photoshop? Should i make it in rear curtain sync??
June 1, 2007 07:36 am
two more things.....
1. what is RAW? is it really low quality or really high?
2. what is mirror lockup, and what else did they take out of the original Rebel?
3. can you get firmware that supports 2nd curtain flash?ok i guess thats 3.....
-Evan -
June 1, 2007 07:33 am
why do i have to be "brave" to install that? Is it dangerous or something? Viruses? Crashing the camera? Erasing data?
May 31, 2007 12:22 pm
The original Digital Rebel didn't support 2nd curtain sync, unless you used a flash that allowed you to set it on the flash itself. The 500EX for instance, will work, but unless you want/need a high-end bounce flash, it's a pricey solution.
Canon purposefully crippled the original Rebel firmware, to keep it from gutting the sales of their 10D, etc. If you check around, you will find hacked versions of the firmware for your camera that (if you are brave enough) you can install that will restore most of the removed menu settings (like mirror lockup, etc). One of the most aggravating 'features' was the way it coupled certain shooting modes together. For instance, the JPEG 'sports' mode is the only one that uses the predictive focus system, but it forces you to shoot in JPEG, and disables the flash (like I'd never take sports shots with flash?). The Rebel firmware is essentially identical to the 10D, with a bunch of the menus NOP'ed out of the code.
I gave up on the original Rebel as hopelessly crippled, and upgraded to a 20D. Much more flexible, for someone that cares about such things as mirror lockup, 2nd curtain sync, and being able to choose which focussing mode to use with which exposure mode, and to always be able to shoot RAW, no matter what.
And for all the folks with Canon EOS bodies (whether film or digital) there is a great FAQ that will help you understand how to get the most out of your flash system at:

Slow speed sync is a cool technique. It certainly opens up a lot of creativity in people.
May 13, 2007 08:39 am
I'm not even sure my camera has slow sync flash. I don't think its called that exactly but I'll have to check it out.
May 12, 2007 12:57 pm
just fantastic info.
very simple yet very rich with information, thanks for sharing
May 12, 2007 12:44 pm
Great tip!
Anyone knows if where can I set the 'Rear Curtain/Front Curtain Sync' on my Canon 10D?
May 12, 2007 02:45 am
Have a photo of my #4 son's Formula Vee race car trailing a long, red blur with the front half of the vehicle sharp and wondered how it was taken...thanks for the answer. My Olympus C740UZ offers 2nd curtain flash, so now I've just gotta find me a red race car.

May 11, 2007 04:21 am
I have the Panasonic DMC-FZ50 - and reading the manual it suggests that the flash fires first ie front curtain, I would presume that the DMC-FZ5 would be similar - hope this will help Ziv......
A smashing article......
May 11, 2007 12:15 am
you people must not hear this enough, but RTFM! it's all in there. I'm surprised that a lot of you don't even have a basic understanding of your camera, enough to figure out where a simple menu item might be. when in doubt, rtfm first, then ask questions
May 9, 2007 07:54 am
Thanks mark!

what buttons do i press to switch between rear/front curtain sync?
May 8, 2007 12:11 pm
It doesn't seem to work for me, I only have a 1 and 1.6 second exposure choices, is that to short to pull this off.

May 8, 2007 01:31 am
Not bad, I do some long exposure as well, check it out. I prefer modeling photography though...
May 7, 2007 11:38 pm
does anyone knows if on the Panasonic DMC-FZ5 you can set the slow sync flash to fire at the end of the exposure? I checked the manual but it didn't say a lot about about slow sync flash and I checked their website but couldn't find the camera.
May 7, 2007 11:06 pm
Check out my link:
that was using a slow shutter speed, and a couple of mobile (cell) phones that have a LED "flash". stick on the LED, use a tripod, go "painting"...oh and the longer the exposure the longer you have to draw :)
May 7, 2007 08:35 pm
Great tip thanks for that, explained it alot better than most the magazines out there.

Becca rear curtain sync with a Canon 30D is set in custom function 15
May 7, 2007 05:47 pm
This technique is great in really dark clubs where it won't get overexposed. I'll shoot F4, ISO 100, 1 second, front curtain, and then move the camera around after the flash fires.
You can paint streaks out of the lights.. here I made hearts out of all the candles on the tables. http://www.flickr.com/photos/davematthews/330415502/in/set-72157594433785054/

I have a sony A100, and I cant figure out how to get it to flash after the shutter opens. Any suggestions?
March 3, 2007 11:53 pm
Press and hold the flash pop-up button, then rotate the thumbwheel. Try having the camera in the "M", "A" "S" and "P" modes to see the different flash sync options in different modes.
February 8, 2007 02:34 am

When I turn on the flash on on my Canon Rebel XTi, the shutter speed automatically moves to 1/100 or 1/200, even in manual mode.
January 19, 2007 09:29 am
Great tips, just had a couple of tests, and it does create a nice effect. Never knew what that setting was for, now I know. Thanks!
January 19, 2007 05:32 am
Thanks for the great tips. This is very helpful.
January 19, 2007 03:51 am
Robert: The Digital Rebel XT has a Night Portrait option and you can also use Av (aperture priority). To set 1st (front) or 2nd (rear) shutter curtain sync, see the custom function setting of the manual (p. 150).
January 18, 2007 05:11 pm
Another name I've heard for this technique is "open flash."
As far as the front and rear curtain sync, how can I control when the flash fires on a Rebel XT?
January 18, 2007 12:32 pm
Totally cool, THIS is the type of stuff that makes me want to get out there and fill up my memory cards.
January 18, 2007 12:26 pm
Rear curtain sync generally gives the more natural effect, but if you're shooting with a timed shutter speed (instead of bulb mode, where the exposure ends when you say it ends), it's really hard to judge when the flash is going to go off -- imagine if your camera had a two-second shutter lag.
January 18, 2007 08:07 am
On a 400D you could try either AV/TV or manual modes. Manual is probably the best one to go for because you can adjust the speed and aperture.
Try a speed of about 1/4 second to get a nice blur on moving people or animals in your image! -
January 18, 2007 07:07 am
fantastic tut, any idea on where these settings are on a 400D ?
January 18, 2007 04:51 am
I was looking for some information to give to a friend of mine about how to use ISO/ASA in her camera because it was much better to provide her with rather new information than the one I had on a book by Michael Langford, "The step by step book of photography", and I've found dPS. What a great site.

Dispassion is incredibly powerful in a reporter. It drives people crazy. If I come off as somebody who's trying to change football, I lose something. There are people who are wired to play off the amplitudes of argument, and if you stray too far from what makes sense, boom—they cut you off right there. They jump into a zone more reasonable than yours, and you're sunk. But if you go down the middle, they got nothing.
It was similar with the helmet story. Helmets were something I always wanted to look at, but I never really had a chance to do it until May or June of 2010. And once I did a little digging, I learned that the standards to which helmets are held has nothing to do with concussions.
Now maybe they can't, but people think that they do. That was the thing the guys in the helmet industry who came to hate my guts never understood—all I was saying is that the helmets, intentionally or not, are communicating a level of safety that they do not afford. The goal was just to get the consumer to realize they should pay more attention and expect more. And from there, whether the child or the parent chooses to engage in that activity is their business, it's not my business.
The helmet article, though, was also a case of me becoming part of the story in a way that I wasn't comfortable with. There was a sense that this subject was going to evolve how I decided it would. Everything that was going to come after that was just going to be because Schwarz wanted to stick his nose into it. It just didn't feel right. At the same time, a lot of people started to assume my mindset was something that it wasn't—they almost made it seem like I was a crusader. The only thing I'm a crusader for is accurate statistical statements. If I'm an advocate for anything, it's for making sense.
Part of the Story
And then there was the Dave Duerson episode, where after he killed himself I found myself getting accused of helping to cause his suicide. [In February, Duerson, a former NFL star who helped administer the league's disability plan, fatally shot himself in the chest. Apparently suspecting that he had suffered brain damage, Duerson left a note asking that his brain be examined; he was subsequently found to have had CTE.] He had read my stories, and obviously I had not painted a lot of portraits of players doing just fine. At least in writing the note—that request was caused by me.
So, of course I looked in the mirror. And maybe I had not done a good enough job of explaining that this doesn't happen to everybody, that the point is just that it happens to significantly more of them than it should. When the Duerson results were about to come out, I knew—I said, people have underreacted to all of these; they're going to overreact to this one. And so I wrote a story on how people are misinterpreting the rate at which these things are happening: just because fourteen out of the fifteen who have been examined posthumously have been found to have it, doesn't mean that fourteen out of fifteen football players have CTE. It's a completely separate mathematical animal.
But to be publicly accused of causing someone's suicide—I didn't think that was fair. It left me feeling, I don't think I'm supposed to be this much part of the story. And by that point, this had taken such a toll on me mentally. I would dream about it; I would think about it constantly. Four and a half years is a long time to be on a tightrope. It was time to see if I could get it out of my head. So I left the sports department in April, to start writing about education. I plan to retire at the Times, and I won't be writing about concussions when I do.
Looking back, the main lesson I learned? Never trust the phrase, "According to a study published in. . . ."

Arduino Compatible UAV Controller w/ ATMega2560 (Board)
This is a Arduino-compatible autopilot board designed by Chris Anderson and Jordi Muñoz of DIY Drones using the new ATmega2560. The original version of this board (with ATmega1280) was used to win the annual autonomous vehicle competition organized by SparkFun.
APM is a fully programmable autopilot that requires a GPS module and IMU sensors to create a functioning Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). The autopilot handles both stabilization and navigation, eliminating the need for a separate stabilization system. It also supports a "fly-by-wire" mode that can stabilize an aircraft when flying manually under RC control, making it easier and safer to fly. The hardware and software are all open source. The board comes with all the surface-mount parts already soldered, but requires the user to solder on connectors. Firmware is already loaded, but the autopilot software must be downloaded and loaded onto the board by the user. It can be programmed with the Arduino IDE.
APM can be used for either airplanes or rotary wing aircraft, including quadcopters and other multicopters and traditional helicopters. The autopilot hardware is the same, and you can load whichever firmware is appropriate for the aircraft you've got via the free Mission Planner. (You may choose to add other sensors to improve performance for specific airframes, such as an airspeed sensor for airplanes or a magnetometer for mulitcopters).
Designed to be used with autonomous aircraft, quadcopters and helis Based on a 16MHz Atmega2560 processor. Built-in hardware failsafe that uses a separate circuit (multiplexer chip and ATMega328 processor) to transfer control from the RC system to the autopilot and back again. Includes ability to reboot the main processor in mid-flight Dual-processor design with 32 MIPS of onboard power Supports 3D waypoints and mission commands (limited only by memory--approximately 600-700 waypoints with current code, but can be adapted for more) 256k Flash Program Memory, 8K SRAM, 4K EEPROM Comes with a 6-pin GPS connector (EM406 style). Has 16 spare analog inputs (with ADC on each) and 40 digital input/outputs to add additional sensors Four dedicated serial ports for two-way telemetry (using optional XBee modules) and expansion Can be powered by either the RC receiver or a separate battery Hardware-driven servo control, which means less processor overhead, tighter response and no jitters Eight RC channels (including the autopilot on/off channel) can be processed by the autopilot. LEDs for power, failsafe status, autopilot status

Genetic variants of the androgen receptor and klotho protein may contribute to variation in bone mass as well as to predisposition to osteoporosis. The relationship of a CAG repeat polymorphism of the androgen receptor gene (AR) and of a −395G→A polymorphism of the klotho gene (KL) to bone mineral density (BMD) in Japanese women was examined in a population-based study. The subjects (1,101 and 1,110 women for AR and KL polymorphisms, respectively) were aged 40–79 years and were randomly recruited to a population-based prospective cohort study of aging and age-related diseases. BMD for the total body, lumbar spine, right femoral neck, right trochanter, and right Ward's triangle was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Genotypes for the AR and KL polymorphisms were determined by polymerase chain reaction based assays. The number of CAG repeats of AR was inversely correlated with BMD for the lumbar spine in premenopausal women but not in postmenopausal women. The (CAG)n≤22 and (CAG)n≥23 alleles were designated S and L, respectively. Among premenopausal women, BMD for the total body was significantly lower in subjects with the LL genotype than in those with the SS genotype or those in the combined group of SS and SL genotypes. In contrast, BMD was not associated with AR genotype in postmenopausal women. Among all women, BMD for the lumbar spine was significantly lower in subjects with the GG genotype of the −395G→A polymorphism of KL than in those with the AA genotype. BMD was not associated with −395G→A genotype among premenopausal women. In postmenopausal women, BMD for the total body or lumbar spine tended to be lower in subjects with the GG genotype than in those with the AA genotype or those in the combined group of GA and AA genotypes. These results suggest that AR is a susceptibility gene for reduced BMD in premenopausal Japanese women, and that KL is a susceptibility gene for reduced BMD in all women.

I haven't worked on a Grey and Jacquo cartoon in ages, so I decided to work on one last month. I wanted to switch things up a bit and abandoned the old look of the characters and hand drew everything as opposed to using pre existing models.
It was a nice break, and hopefully people will like this slightly different take on the characters.
Rated 4 / 5 stars
I prefer the original art style, but it's nice to see Grey and Jacquo again.
Rated 4 / 5 stars
I gave this a solid 4 because:
+1) The animation was clean and seemed at least a little on the fresh side of things.
+1) The voice acting and all other audio was crisp and clean.
+1) The music sounds like a classic toon's show that was more geared towards a mature aduience and, with that, I think the music sets the tone for the show.
+1) It was humorous...disturbing...but humorous.
-.5) for the length of it....but lets bump it up to a 4.5 because if it had been longer I may not have enjoyed it as much.
And don't worry Giggas, if Chssmstrjk seriously believes this takes from Donnie Darko than I don't think he's seen the film either, or at least not for what it was or even it's more direct pointers to events. I mean I don't think your rabbit has traveled back in time and into your main character's mind to keep him from ripping the fabric of reality apart, has he?
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
Music, voicing and animation was good. Though it was extremely short. It should of been longer. It was still good anyway.
Rated 3 / 5 stars
I give this flash a 3 out of 5 just because this flash seems like it was inspired by the movie Donnie Darko where the main character has nightmares about a demonic rabbit and the characters in this flash are similar to both the demonic rabbit and the main character from the movie Donnie Darko. But this flash didn't really scare me at all.
I've actually never seen Donnie Darko before.


text: Wild Monk is the culmination of the two greatest things that have ever existed in the history of human civilization...namely.. Food and Beer. A human being cannot survive without either of these basic primal necessities. Food is energy, vitality and ultimately happiness. Beer is the contemplation of that beautiful dance and is the most widely consumed alcoholic beverage in the world... third overall only to tea and water. The term "gastro pub" was coined in the UK in 1991 to describe a new tradition of high quality British bar food. Since then the movement has spread like wild fire through the restaurant world capturing culinary imaginations and racking up Michelin stars the entire way. Great food, killer drink and exquisite service has been the beating heart of this culinary leap. We have looked boldly into the future beyond the trends and hype that will ebb and flow naturally and we are proud to declare we have seen the light!

Emporia A top administrator at Texas Tech University has been chosen by the Kansas Board of Regents as the new president of Emporia State University.
The board announced the selection of Michael Shonrock following a special meeting Friday.
Shonrock has been in administration at Texas Tech since 1990, most recently as senior vice president and associate professor of educational psychology and leadership.
At Emporia State he will succeed Michael Lane, who resigned in May, six months after being interviewed for the presidency of a private university in Illinois.
Shonrock holds bachelor's undergraduate and master's degrees from Western Illinois University, and a doctorate from the University of Kansas. He also earned an advanced degree in education from Pittsburg State.
He was one of four finalists for the Emporia State presidency.

How hard would it be to just staple the old Ult particles onto his new one as well if the art team is too lazy to make more sand?
I actually though the cool purple thing was his E.
@Phreak, hey, I feel like Nasus has been moved more towards Renektons personality of reveling in destruction and chaos vs his original personality of older brother of wisdom and order. He looks great, but his movements and attacks seem to 'violent' and almost desperate maybe? Idk I guess I was thinking his movements would be more graceful, calculated. However I certainly respect it if you guys are actually wanting to push him towards that direction, but it does feel like a very different personality. Could you comment on this or ask an animator to? Thanks, again his model looks GREAT!
Doesn't have to be the same. I would definitely like some small, swirling sand/arcane particles during his ultimate. Not as much as the original, since the AoE indicator is pretty cool.

FRANK A. BADGER, 63, of Grand Rapids, Michigan was sentenced in Seattle by U.S. District Judge Marsha J. Pechman to thirty months in prison. BADGER entered a plea of guilty on March 28, 2005, to Conspiracy to Commit Securities Fraud, Wire Fraud, Mail Fraud, and Money Laundering. The prosecution of BADGER stems from the multi-state investigation of financial transactions related to the Znetix stock fraud, the largest stock fraud ever in the State of Washington.
According to court documents, in early 2002, just after the SEC obtained a Preliminary Injunction against Znetix and related parties freezing accounts and appointing a receiver, BADGER convinced three elderly investors who had been his clients while he was a stockbroker to allow him to take money from their accounts for investment purposes. BADGER did not disclose the nature of the investments. In one case, BADGER asked an 80-year-old Paw Paw, Michigan woman to sign a blank authorization form. At the time, BADGER was no longer an authorized agent or broker of a securities firm, but he fraudulently used a seal and letterhead from his former firm to make the authorization to withdraw funds appear legitimate. BADGER then authorized the wiring of $200,000 from the victim's annuity account to Steven J. Reimer, for a purported investment in a high-yield trading program. When an employee of the insurance company that held the victim's annuity called BADGER about the $200,000 withdrawal, BADGER falsely told the employee that Reimer was the victim's son-in-law. As part of the alleged scheme to defraud, Michael J. Culp, another defendant in the Znetix case, sent materials to the victim claiming that the money obtained by BADGER had been invested in a Bellevue, Washington-based company called Constitution Coffee. According to court documents, this claim was false. Two other elderly clients invested $100,000 each with BADGER, and their money was also sent to Steven J. Reimer. Reimer was sentenced to 70 months in prison after pleading guilty to conspiracy to commit securities fraud, wire fraud, mail fraud, unlawful sale of unregistered securities and money laundering, in connection with the Znetix stock fraud. In May, 2004, Michael J. Culp was convicted at trial of multiple counts of conspiracy, securities fraud, and money laundering for his role in the Znetix fraud. Culp was sentenced to 8 years in prison. BADGER also admitted that he had sold investments in Cascade Pointe LLC, an affiliate of Znetix, but had used some of the money provided by investors to pay personal expenses and to pay unrelated investors in the fashion of a "Ponzi" scheme.
In sentencing BADGER to 30 months in prison, Judge Pechman took into account that NASD arbitrators in 1999 had found that BADGER engaged in fraud and breach of fiduciary duty with respect to other clients. After serving his prison sentence, BADGER will be required to pay 50 percent of his gross household income towards his restitution obligation of $400,000.
This case was investigated jointly by the State of Washington Department of Financial Institutions, Securities Division, the Internal Revenue Service, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Jeffrey B. Coopersmith and Ye-Ting Woo.
For additional information please contact Emily Langlie, Public Affairs Officer, United States Attorneys Office, Western District of Washington at (206) 553-4110.

Top things to know: 49ers defense
January, 29, 2013
By ESPN Stats & Information | ESPN.com
Chris Graythen/Getty ImagesThe 49ers' defense has had a lot to celebrate this season.
The 49ers' defense has ranked among the best in the NFL over the past two seasons. But what else should you know about it?
The 49ers have stayed together
The 49ers have had nine players play at least 90 percent of their defensive snaps this season. No other team had more than six.
All four members of the 49ers' secondary (Carlos Rogers, Donte Whitner, Dashon Goldson and Tarell Brown) have played between 97 to 98 percent of their snaps this season.
Defense fuels offense
The 49ers allowed only 26.4 yards per opponents drive in the regular season, the sixth-best performance in the NFL.
Including the playoffs, the 49ers' average drive started at their own 31-yard line. Their opponents' average drives started at their own 24. The field position margin of plus-7 yards ranks best in the NFL.
No arm tackling
The 49ers are a team that finishes hits.
The 49ers led the NFL in fewest yards after contact allowed for a second straight year in 2012, allowing just 909 rushing and receiving yards after contact (56.8 per game).
San Francisco has allowed 112 yards after contact in its 2 playoff games (56.0 per game).
The 49ers allow an average of 1.2 yards after contact per rush, the best rate in the NFL.
The 49ers have allowed the fewest yards per rush after contact this season (including playoffs), and have now led the NFL in three straight seasons. The Ravens rank 12th this season with 1.6 yards per rush allowed after contact.
Aldon Smith needs Justin Smith
Aldon Smith has 35.5 sacks in his first two seasons, but none this postseason.
Despite his recent sack drought, his 33.5 regular-season sacks through two seasons are the most by any player since the NFL started tracking sacks in 1982.
Aldon has recorded 34.5 of his 35.5 career sacks with Justin Smith on field. In the 141 dropbacks that Aldon Smith has seen without Justin Smith, he has only one sack.
They handle the deep throw reasonably well
The 49ers are reasonably well-equipped to handle Joe Flacco.
They have allowed only three touchdown passes against them this season on throws that traveled at least 21 yards in the air, tied for the second-fewest in the NFL.
Opponents are 21-for-72 on throws of that length against the 49ers this season. The 29 percent opponnents' completion percentage ranked 11th-best in the NFL.
The 49ers' defense has allowed multiple completions on passes thrown more than 20 yards downfield in three straight games, with opponents going 7-of-13 on those throws, including Matt Ryan's first-quarter touchdown to Julio Jones in the NFC championship.
The 49ers didn't allow multiple completions in back-to-back games the first 15 games of the season.
Stat to know: Defense wins championships
The 49ers finished second in the league in scoring defense in 2012, allowing 17.1 points per game. That is 10 spots better than the Ravens' defense.
Teams with top-two scoring defenses are 16-5 all-time in the Super Bowl when not facing another top-two scoring defense and have won eight straight.
Every one since the 1990 New York Giants has won.
The two for which defense played the biggest role were the 2000 Ravens (who did not allow an offensive touchdown against the Giants) and the 2002 Tampa Bay Buccaneers (who had five interceptions in their win over the Oakland Raiders).
