A polarizing filter knocks you down 2 stops, requiring a longer exposure. You are right, if I had a tripod, or had done something similar to what you mention, I probably still could have got the picture I wanted with a filter on.

I think cache col is just to the left, but I admit I'm not sure from that angle. I remember it being a very flat col, but who knows. Formidable just looks awesome from that angle!

I was waiting for one of you tools to point out the "hypocricy" in a gun controla advocate liking a movie with guns in it. Whatever, asshat (thanks for that one Paul, it's a new favorite ). I have no idea which one was my favorite, I am not knowledgable enough to know the difference. All those guns certainly did seem to be doing mexico city a lot of good tho! What an awesome place to live! Yeah, the fake butter popcorn is awesome, tho I am not sure what that has to do with guns or the movie. I was saving up for the nice dinner aftwards and just had a few sips of my girlfriend's diet coke. Normally I go for some sour patch kids.

Well, besides the fact that most all subarus are built in north america now... What he's alluding is that the richer you are, the larger % of your income goes to luxury good spending. The rich paying more taxes stimulates the economy and not only benifits the lower and middle class but then as well. For supposedly being smart people I'm surprised they are too dumb to get it. It's really in their best interest. How many rich people do you think are better off now than in the clinton economy despite lower tax burden? I bet there are 3 or 4...

I guess I could see the numbers pointing that way. After all the religious whackos seem to have about 5 or 6 kids each and obviously they vote repub. Well, in any event, I plan on producing an army of liberals, so watch out!

Huh? What makes you think being left leaning means you dont want to have kids?

I figured it was mostly for identification. I have the metolius nuts and I too find it obnoxious. They are much harder to slide around on a biner when you are trying to pick one.

Thanks for all the feedback. Yes, it is the same picture only using different color correction. The camera takes pictures in a raw format meaning no color balancing is done whatsoever at the time the photo is taken. This allows the processing to happen after the photo has been downloaded to the computer. Picture #1 has only had the contrast and brightness tweaked. Picture #2 has had an automatic "levels" adjustment run on it which "automatically balances light and dark across the color channels" I'm trying to figure out how to get the more dynamic impact of picture #2 combined with the more true lighting (the slight orange was present when the picture was taken) in picture #1. As for filters, none were used for this picture. I had a polarizer with me, but my guess is it would have made the lens too slow since there was already a fairly slow shutter speed required. -josh

What picture's color profile better represents morning sunlight on peaks. Better yet, which do you like better? http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/plab/showphoto.php?photo=4546&size=big&password=&sort=1&cat=503 http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/plab/showphoto.php?photo=4545&size=big&password=&sort=1&cat=503

He's young, lummox. Indeed...it was made before I existed. I wasn't aware that it was such a classic until I started researching where it was filmed. I watched 45 minutes or so before I couldn't keep my eyes up any more, but I think I'll definitely rent it. I did question why they would bother to film the hunting scenes in NCNP instead of the much easier accessed appalachins. I suppose there is something to be said for sheer visual appeal for the sacrifice of some reality.

I've given up on listening to reviewers. Typically they are idiots with idiotic opinions. Yup, it was unmitigated violence, and it was entertaining for nearly the entire length of the movie. I think the plot was well established.

Ha! It's no longer a debate but my attempt to "ram stuff down your throat" when I make valid points and you cannot present a worthwhile counter-argument? I'm not sure how you were a "person like me" considering you dont know a bit about me. Considering the level of bitterness and loathe towards the world you know posess, I would be curious what you once were like...

foraker's caption !!

I saw this the other day. Pretty sweet movie, I give it . Denzel kicked ass. Plenty of action for the fans of theatrical violence, but a touching story ta'boot.

From my understanding, this has been standing policy for quite some time. You know, junior, the world of policy, politics, and goverment didn't start the day after your testicles dropped. Looks like Jim beat me to it with the explanation of where this policy came from. Not surprising, the moron's dad instituted it. Another fine leader! My point remains, photos like this are damaging to the moron in chief and it's in his best interest to hide them, just like every other bad story coming out of that shithole he created.

Once again, after reprimanding me for thinking I know what the framers of the constitution intended, do you do the very same thing. Give it up and address my point. "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state" Please tell me how you and your NRA buddies represent a well regulated militia and how you provide any security for the state? You don't. And don't give me the bullshit about the framers intended for an armed populace to offset the power of a national military. Do you honestly think any sort of armed populace is going to even come close to offsetting what the U.S. Military is there for?

Hell yeah, so would I. Looks like you've conceded the argument to me. Anyway, It's time for bed.

Where is the namecalling? Sorry, I called you smart guy, that was rather wiseass, I apologize. if you honestly think that site you posted from is a legitimate news source, I can't help you there. Slowly but surely the republican party is going to begin distancing themselves from the NRA. The republican party gets a good deal of it's support from suburban upper middle class families. Do you really think the majority of these people support loose gun laws? Nope, not at all. I may not agree with most republicans, but they aren't dumb. They read the same polls everybody else does and they know that sooner or later buckling under to the NRA is going to cost them more than it gains them. People are sick of worrying about sending their children to school for fear of a schoolyard shooting, or any other number of horrible things that have happened lately involving guns. The wheels of the machine are slowly turning. I was happy to see that the senate recently voted down immunity for gun manufactuers and rouge dealers. It was helped along by fairly strong republican support.

Oh, and for those you wondering earlier if Britney Spears was a republican or not, she is on the NRA's blacklist for being "anti-gun", just as the NEA (National Education Association), NAACP, NOW (national organization of women), AFL-CIO, the league of women voters, AARP (american association of retired persons). Clearly these are all terrorist liberal communist extremist organizations looking to infringe on our civil rights!

Excuse me, I said violent crime and I should have specified deaths due to handguns. "Advocates of less gun control in the U.S. say the drop in gun murder rates was more than offset by the overall victimization increase." What an idiotic stance. Clearly more gun deaths is a good price to pay to lower overall violent crime rates by .8%. Also, what kind of crap source is this?? WorldNetDaily? HAHAHAH. Check out the home page....it's a rightwing propoganda site, man. Every ad on the front page is for some sort of right wing book. Try citing real facts. Better yet, face the fact that I have presented real arguments and you have skirted every one with typical regurgitated NRA crap. You guys can fight this all you want, but slowly and surely our society is getting smarter. We're getting sick of the NRA and it's crap, and you're fighting a losing battle. It may not be next year, or 10 years from now, but we'll have guns outlawed or severly restricted sooner or later.

Yup, below is the story of a true coward. We need a real american hero leading us. A man who can cash in connections to get a stint in the texas air guard, all the while snorting coke and defending the skies of texas from the threat of invasion from oklahoma. "On Feb. 28, 1969, Kerry’s craft and two other boats came under heavy fire from the riverbanks. Kerry ordered his units to turn into the ambush and sent men ashore after the enemy. According to the records, an enemy soldier holding a loaded rocket launcher sprang up within 10 feet of Kerry’s boat and fled. Kerry leapt ashore, chased and killed the man. Kerry and his men chased or killed all enemy soldiers in the area and returned to the boat only to come under fire from the opposite bank as they began to pull away. Kerry again beached his boat and led a party ashore in pursuit, and they successfully silenced the shooting. Later, with the boats again under fire, Kerry initiated a heavy response that killed 10 Viet Cong and wounded another with no casualties to his own men. He won the Silver Star “for gallantry and intrepidity in action” that day. Two weeks later, Kerry’s role in another firefight earned a Bronze Star for heroic achievement and the third Purple Heart that would result in his reassignment out of Vietnam. Kerry was commanding one of five boats on patrol on March 13, 1969, when two mines detonated almost simultaneously near Kerry’s craft. Shrapnel hit Kerry’s buttocks and his right arm bled from contusions, but he rescued a boatmate who had been thrown overboard by the blast and was under sniper fire from both banks. Kerry then directed his crew to return to the other damaged craft and tow it to safety. "

Next time try... "The 2nd amendment directly speaks to the right to bear arms for the maintenance of a militia to protect the state " Misquoting...a powerful argument indeed. You guys prove my points for me. You have no argument and you know it. It's bad law. Just like prohibition didn't work and we needed to pass another amendment to repeal it, it's time to get rid of the 2nd. It's outdated and ridiculous. Our country suffers more handgun violence than the rest of the civilized world combined. Australia's violent crime rate(and esp. murder rate) has plummeted since guns were outlawed. As Wesley Clark said (paraphrased) "if you like guns, join the army, we've got them". Another perfectly reasonable thing to do is move to a 2nd or 3rd world country. You'll find plenty of other folks interested in arming themselves and shooting stuff.

I didn't say they were part of the bill of rights, smart guy. slavery was abolished and the woman's right to vote were both "granted" with constitutional amendments. Why do you think we have the amendment system? Yeah, it's to update our constitution as we see fit. Address my argument, rather than skirting it please. The 2nd amendment directly speaks to the right to bear arms for the maintenance of a militia to protect the state. You can't deny that it says that so you come up with your crap arguments about how it's a "tool" you have the right to own. If you can own a gun why can't I own a rocket launcher?

So I'm watching Bravo right now and this movie is on. I had never heard it before, but apparently it's a classic about the vietnam war from 1978. Right as I turned it on the scene featured the main actors driving through a beautiful mountain range with large glaciers. I searched for information about the film and, sure enough, it was filmed in north cascades national park. Has anybody here seen this movie?

What the hell is this supposed to mean? You dont choose to address my point at all. Laws become outdated and times change. There was a time when slavery existed within the law and women weren't allowed to vote. The 2nd amendment existed to give the people the right to act as a milita and defend the state. It says it right in the amendment! Why do you 2nd amendment supporters simply choose to ignore this fact? Nowhere does it say "to defend against neighbors" or "to rob a bank" or "to facilitate schoolyard shootings"
