This is a web site I have been looking for:
http://www.findanyfilm.com/search
It allows you to find a cinema based on what film you want to see, not see a film based on what cinema you want to go to: important when your local multiplex is not showing the film you really want to see...
After trying to take photos of half the family this morning, complete with kids who wouldn't sit still, I thought I'd better check up on my knowledge of Depth of Field settings: if I had got the correct DOF/ aperture, the speed and ISO settings could have been set better.
So, I now know that I should have used the A-DEP setting my Canon, and I have found a nifty bit of software for a Java mobile phone that calculates DOF, courtesy of www.curved-light.net. It is something I have wanted to put together for a while but not got round to learn enough Java to write it. And it gives a good indication of what should (and shouldn't) be in focus.
Finally, a couple of other sites well worth noting are http://www.dofmaster.com/dofjs.html which has an excellent online DOF calculator, and http://www.outsight.com/hyperfocal.html#math which has a calculator and as much information and equations as you will probably ever need.
I guess I should have done all this checking before I took the photos, but still I thought they turned out pretty well...
Like this article: Google: 'Human error' brings internet chaos for millions.
I noticed that you couldn't link through from Google for a short while yesterday, and I really love the fact that it was all down to a dodgy '/' character. We've all done it: a missing forward slash or a semi colon and everything breaks. It is just that most of us don't break the most used search engine in the world. Now that is something for your CV...
