  1. No offense, but how can you size incorrectly with so many people posting on sizing and such an extensive chart on BiG?

    (rhetorical question, I know what the answer is)

  2. ^^ it is fantastic. One of the hoppiests, yet well balanced beers I've ever had, along with Nugget Nectar and Pliny the Elder. The reason for the price is because DIPA's as a style require much more in terms of raw ingredients compared to many other beers, 2-3x the amount of malt and 3-4x the amount of hops as most ales, and also this is a very hyped seasonal release and people are crazy about Hopslam. However, I will agree that it is expensive almost $3/bottle, even if you buy a case in PA.

  3. I would guess dark photos means your aperture is too small (f number is too high like f/24) shutter too fast (like 1/2000).

    In M mode, you have to adjust the shutter speed, aperture, and sensitivity (ISO) on your own, using the little light meter (looks like this: <IIIIIIOIIIIII> )on the bottom of the viewer. Ideally you would want to take a picture where the exposure is calibrated so that the light meter is centered to the circle in the middle of the bar. This should be an adequate starting point for proper exposure, then adjust according to get more light if it's too dark and less if too bright.

    You should take a photo class or try at least get a well-reviewed photo book from amazon to learn some basics about proper exposure, framing, editing...

  4. 50--> no, get the 35/1.8 DX af-s, the 50mm af-s is too expensive and the cheaper af-d lenses won't autofocus and is too long for shooting indoors. 35mm is a little bigger than the 50's but it autofocuses and you can manually override by twisting the focus ring at anytime.

    Remote-- get it, it's cheap and you never know when you'll want to take a self-portrait with friends/fam or for longer exposures on tripod

    Get an Sb-400, it's about $100 and it'll immensely improve photos taken inside when you are using a slower lens like the kit zoom.

    i shoot in manual mode during the day, but still black photos. is this because of low light, despite there being sunlight?

    idk what that means, but I usually shoot in aperture priority mode and make adjustments by changing exposure compensation.

  5. I just got a couple deliveries this week, a replacement skeletool for the one whose pocket/belt clip broke, causing it to drop off, and a small flashlight!

    I was torn between a Nitecore EZ AA and a Quark MiNi AA. In the end, I decided to get the Quark and I really like it (and it's really small!), although now I'm starting to think that it might be too small and I might want a clicker instead any recs? Since I keep my keys on the skeletool on the right side, now I use the key ring hook I made, for the flashlight on the left side back pocket

  6. Woolmark was introduced in the mid-60's, so I'm guessing a shirt without it would be 60's at the latest, except that in the past 10 years Pendleton started to not include the woolmark. Some of these shirts aren't made in the US anymore, and they have modern wash information/dry clean tags and often have a tab on the front placket that says something like "genuine campbell tartan"
