p>In a move to make us more potentially useful, a grip of us non-audio-nerds got shoved into a one-day seminar held by Yamaha’s commercial audio training crew.nbsp; Full hands-on training of the super duper PM5D digital board, culminating with a nifty little paper handout stating I’m certified to touch one “for reals” now!/p> p>a href=”http://presence.irev.net/gallery/pm5d”>img src=”http://presence.irev.net/albums/pm5d/aab.thumb.jpg”>/a>nbsp;/p> p>Shot was taken in a fairly dim room and I asked my buds there to stay still for a third of a second while I burned an image onto the CCD gained up to 1600 ISO./p> p>The class was pretty great for me, while I already knew a fair amount of “I know what I want, so I poke shit till I get there” common tasks, the class gave me a ton of shortcuts and proper procedures.nbsp; I’ve been using digital Yamaha boards for years now, so I wasn’t really too timid to begin with, but now I can’t wait to dive into the FoH board and pester the real audio nerds with suggestions on how to make my video production audio signal from them “better”./p>

Been so hot outside and so busy at work that really unable find energy to get the camera and go play.
p>Obligatory fireworks jpeg.nbsp; Shutter was open 3 seconds, my first use of my silly little plastic toy tripod.nbsp; Later, some lady bitched at me for “crashing” her fireworks party and demanded to know where I lived.nbsp; I pointed at my house 2 doors down and she’s like, “I’ve never seen you.”nbsp; Well, duh, you’re a bitch, that’s why./p> p>a href=”http://presence.irev.net/gallery/daily”>img src=”http://presence.irev.net/albums/daily/aaf.thumb.jpg”>/a>/p>
p>Increasing the LJ cat picture ratio once more, this time with the 300mm lens as the tool and the other cat as the subject.nbsp; Full auto./p> p>a href=”http://presence.irev.net/gallery/daily”>img src=”http://presence.irev.net/albums/daily/aad.thumb.jpg”>/a>/p>

p>My parents hooked me up with their Nikon D50 for my birthday, and I really want to get into taking nice photos.nbsp; I used to take photos and video at work fairly all the time, but I never really did it for fun.nbsp; I’m going to see if I can’t get into some of the artsy fartsy stuff I’ve always wanted to try, and get some technical skills learned.nbsp; Also, I’m really tired right now and suck at thinking what I’m typing./p> p>Either way, first image is a cat.nbsp; Because LiveJournal = cat jpegs./p> p>a href=”http://presence.irev.net/gallery/daily”>img style=”margin: 5px” src=”http://presence.irev.net/albums/daily/aaa.thumb.jpg”>/a>/p>
Congrats, NASA. a href=”http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/phoenix/main.php”>Phoenix/a> landed on Mars, with like rocket jets guiding it down. I was watching Nasa “TV” on the internets for the last 30 minutes and touchdown, and it was pretty great. Science: It works, bitches!

Nightwish rocked. Chicks in gothic lolita outfits, the new singer was cute, and Nighwish owned ass.
