I don't know I buy used poo poo. Best deal is a cheap Canon body (20D, 30D) and the best glass you can afford.

Or what phone said.

Yep. I just sold a Rebel T2i for $160, in nearly perfect condition. Not a great camera by modern standards, but I shot with it professionally for 4 years.

Canon used the same sensor from the T2i all the way through the T5i. The functionality is still there, you can still record amazing looking video on it.

Yep. I got plenty of great images that made clients happy. It's just slower and not as intuitive as some of the newer cameras.

Throw in some overhead presses once you're strong enough, too. Preferably doing a clean and press to start your set.

Ugh, fingers so cold. Just fixed a couple of hosed up fuel lines on an older outback outside and it's 6f. They had been changed from the firewall to the filter and rails and were leaking to the point of not holding pressure so the car wouldn't start. Probably helps when you don't strip the hose clamp. loving dealerships.

I don't know about bone spurs, but I had REALLY bad sciatic pain before I started doing them regularly.

It still flares up occasionally, but it made it 99% better. And now when it flares up, it also fixes itself quicker.

I got this about a year ago - http://www.amazon.com/Nikon-Digital...rds=Nikon+D3300

I've been super happy with it as a newbie to 'real' camera stuff, but I have not done any sky shots. I think you need a really good tripod and one of those tracker mounts to take any reasonable sky shots at night without streaking (the earth's rotation is really really fast).

I've done some pretty long exposure stuff at night, but not at the sky, and the shots came out ok, for someone without any idea of what he's doing anyway.

Using the kit lens at 45mm, this was a 5 second exposure at f/13 iso 200.



I'm sure that with a proper lens and sky-tracker mount it would take fantastic pictures, and the price is pretty good IMO.

I don't really think you can go wrong with Nikon or Canon, just look for the features you want and go for it. In my minimal research, Nikon has a better reputation at low light stuff, but Canon is more common, so easier to get great deals on used lenses, and stuff.

Haha. Planet Fatness. I see what you did there. When a person is fat the place that they might go to fix that is a gym, of which there exists one named Planet Fitness. The joke is that there will probably be fat people there, so its pretty clever that you were able to switch out those letters for a humorous series of words.

Please share with us other humorous names for stores, such as your classic "Vatozone" the joke of which is that you are a oval office.

Right, i did and it was a dick move. The reason i did tell TT that was to prove my norwegianess, so i found a fitting sentance that was not easily google translatable and posted it. i was not in a great place mentally and i apologize to Tusen takk if i hurt his feelings.

I did not see any question from ioc, probably because i checked out from AI after the third PM on facebook. if someone really wanted to get a hold of me it seems my Email is pretty public knowledge judging from the photo of what i can only imagine was feces on a piece of cardboad. i dont care who it was, but you need help dude, not mentally but atleast from some sort of rear end doctor.

then to the meat of the situation, i have been planning an effortpost to come clean and apologize, this it not that post, but i figured id give you guys the TL:DR version.

First off, im sorry i just bolted with my tail between my legs, and secondly, Rhyno, im sorry you are going trough some poo poo with cancer in the family, its a nasty beast and i hope you get of as lightly as possible.

and then for the rest of you..

Yes, i did post GISed pictures of poo poo and claiming it was something else, and for this i am sorry, its a mix of me being a lazy goon, me having some weird issues about privacy online and mostly me being a retard. i never tried to fool anyone, or hurt their feelings but i probably did, and again i am sorry,. The last year has been very hard for me going trough massive amounts of chemo and radiation treatments, my mental state is three rungs below dr 14s and i have made alot of bad decisions. I wish i had a better explanation for you goons but this is it.
