RE: ashamed of myself

Why be ashamed? You are a forum contributor capable of communicating in another language. Most of those speaking “English” by birth only speak one language and even they make mistakes in their texts. So, who cares as “we” (the contributors who don’t have English as their native language) make some mistakes. So far nobody complained and everybody understood what was ment. Nothing to worry about. Just a personal one, are you from Spain?

best wishes, Roger

RE: Morocco invades Spain

Give them a finger, and they take the whole hand and more. If Spain had waited longer, maybe the Marrocans had builded something on the island, making a fast sullution/withdrawal more difficult. Now everything is back to the old situation.

RE: Morocco invades Spain

Well, Spanish troops reclaimed the island this morning.Let’s see what the Marrocan reaction will be (nothing I think).

RE: EUR beats USD

I never liked the Euro in the past, and I still don’t like it today. However I am very glad it “took” the dollar. It is however still a long way untill it is at the 1.dollar 16, it was when it was made “operational”.

What I should like to see is that the Euro could swap places with the dollar. Today, most oil and other things are paid in dollars, should be nice if the Euro took this role, putting the dollar in second place.

RE: Cannon EOS 300

It depend on what you want to do. For best results on slide fil, use an 100 iso film, for colorprints, an 100 or 200 iso film gives the best results.

For ground shots (static, slow moving) use a time of 1/250th of a second , for action work, 1/500th of a second will do.

I work for some 20 magazines, and I only use 100 iso slide film and 200 iso printfilm. I shoot almost 95% on 1/250th and 1/500th of a second. I use Canon equipment and most of the time my camera is in the P (program) mode, only on moving “targets” I use the Tv mode. Static object I photograph in the “one shot” auto focus mode, moving objects I shoot in the “autoservo” mode.

Of all the modes, P, TV and AV are the best ones to use.

A good lens is the Canon 75 – 300 zoomlens with IS. this is “Image Stabalizing”, which means that the lens compensates for camera movement. Although maybe a bit more expensive, it is a great help and realy worth the money

RE: Digital camaras

De nada.

RE: Rammstein

Never heard of them untill half a year ago. I realy like(d) their clips “Sonne’ and “Ich will”. It is all sounding a big “dark” and apocoliptic to me, but that’s what I like (I was a “The Doors” fan before. In Holland Rammstein is now sometimes used in the newsdocumantaries as background music under newsitems or sport.
