Okay, so I don’t know exactly what they are serv­ing at this gala-dinner event. And no, the title of this post is not intended to be racist but to point out a dichotomy between ‘expen­sive’ and a rel­a­tively ‘cheap’ food source. Chicken wings just hap­pen to come to mind. If it makes the reader happy, I sup­pose I can change ‘chicken wing din­ner’ to ‘fish fry’ even tho a fish fry would prob­a­bly cost more. But why bother me about semantics.

In a few days (or weeks) from now, an acquain­tance will be attend­ing a din­ner event with Barack Obama. The price tag? $4,000.

I’m updat­ing my research into cam­eras for cre­at­ing HDR pho­tos. As of this writ­ing, I’m putting 360-degree HDR imagery on hold. To be com­pletely frank, you will want a Nikon D300 or a Canon Mark III series cam­era in order to pro­duce ade­quate HDRs with the min­i­mal amount of work involved. You may ask why, but my rea­son­ing involves fast shut­ter speeds/frame bursts for min­i­mal blur and arti­facts, greater AEB range, and full-sized frames.
