Discussion in 'General Discussion' started by Catz, Aug 11, 2009.
I didn't get much of a response posting this on another section here on Nikoncafe so thought I would try here since this seems to be the place most hang out in.
Bracket your exposures for difficult scenes.
Thanks RFC. Easy instructions I can follow. Appreciate it very much.
I don't do panos but I did some night photography recently: Part I, Part II, , More Miami Beach at night.
You need a tripod (obviously), and optionally a remote cable release, or if not use the timer, to reduce vibrations.
Set on manual and look at the light meter (the bars at the bottom of the screen). Use the base ISO as you want the less noise possible, and with long exposures you do not need high ISO, in most cases (there is one case where I use it but not for panos, only for people in the shot).
Set aperture to appropriate DOF. If you are shooting street scenes, you want more DOF and if you want the light poles to show a starburst, you need F/16 or F/22.
Once you set this up, the light meter will be at zero when you set the proper speed (fractions of a second or full seconds). For street scenes, I find this to produce under-exposed shots (in the D300), so I slow the shutter speed to let two to three bars to the left. Shoot. Look at the image. Look at the histogram. Adjust. Alternatively, instead of letting the bars be to the left of center, you could change EV (ex. +1.0) and obtain a similar result. Good luck.
I'll add a link to that thread.
Melissa.........RFC provided good info, but in addition to his comments, I found that having a good solid tripod is a must! At first I has a so-so (cheap) tripod which vibrated and had lots of play. Good tripods are expensive, but worth every dollar. Another item you might consider investing is a cable or remote for releasing the shutter (otherwise, you can use the timer on the camera to release the shutter). Also, if you're using a lens with VR (vibration reduction) on a tripod, make sure to switch off the VR on the lens. Hope this helps.
Hey there...I bought a really good tripod when I first got into playing with photography. I paid quite a bit for it. I can't remember the name of it right now because I have it packed away and use it when I like to shoot landscapes. I also have a cable too. It is a good one also by Nikon. I bought it because it has a timer on it and thought one day I would try some fireworks out.
Bracketing is usually a very good idea. I find that I normally need at least one stop of under exposure from the meter reading to get good results, depending on the type and amount of lighting.
Depending on the subject you may want to invest in some fast lenses in the wide angle range.
Here are a couple of shots I took in Houston at night.
depending on the conditions of course.
This should get you started though.
Know your location and what time the sunsets.
Getting there early allows you to setup without rushing.
My camera is setup such that one click of the dial for shutter speed adjustment is 1/3 of a stop.
the best light is after sunset when there's still light in the sky.
You'll be adjusting your shutter speed as the light changes of course.
That's what I'd do when shooting skylines.
You will continue to receive hints on night photography. I guess every photographer has his or her own style so you will continue to receive different opinions in this post.
I like to do my night photography when there is still light in the sky. I usually take my meter reading from the sky and expose accordingly, which will make that part of the sky I metered from a middle tonality. I always have a good exposure for the lighted buildings in the foreground.
I shoot RAW in the sRGB color space. I use daylight as my WB setting and then play with tungsten during editing and compare the results. If I set the camera to A I then dial in minus 1 of EC and meter from the whole scene.
Like others, I try to use the lowest ISO available in my camera. Tripod, mirror lock up and cable release for the shutter are a must.
Night photography is not difficult and with the histogram we have a great help for the exposure.


There are a couple of good some reasons why it makes ample sense to register your specialist. The first basic reason is to protect one's own interests as an alternative to risk personal assets to the aim of facing bankruptcy in case your business faces an emergency and is also forced to close down. Secondly, it is easier to attract VC funding as VCs are assured of protection if organization is accredited. It provides tax benefits to the entrepreneur typically in a partnership, an LLP or maybe limited enterprise. (These are terms which have been described later on). Another valid reason is, in case of a limited company, if one wishes managed their shares to another it's easier when an additional is registered.
Very almost always there is a dilemma as to when organization should be registered. The solution to which is, primarily, as well as business idea is good enough to be converted into a profitable business or truly. And if the answer to and also confident too resounding yes, then it is time for in order to go ahead and register the startup. And as mentioned earlier on it will be beneficial to create it happen as a preventive measure, before important work saddled with liabilities.
Depending upon the type and size of corporation and like you would want to be expanded it, your startup could be registered among the many legal formats for this structure of a company available to you.
a) Sole Proprietorship. That's a company managed or run by just one individual. No registration is actually required. This is the method to if you wish to do it yourself and the objective of establishing business is to achieve a short-term goal. But this puts you prone to losing complete personal assets should misfortune strike.
b) Partnership firm. Is owned and operated or run by at least two or more than two individuals. In the a Partnership firm, as laws aren't as stringent as that involving Ltd. Company, (limited company) it requires a involving trust in between the partners. But similar to a proprietorship thankfully risk of losing personal assets in any eventuality.
c) OPC Registration Online in India is a Person Company in that this company is a separate legal entity within turn effect protects the owner from being personally subject to any losses.
d) Limited Liability Partnership (LLP), from where the general partners have limited liability. LLP combines the very best of partnership firm and a company and the partners are not personally prone to lose their personal wide range.
ii) Private Limited Company where minimal number persons needed are 7 with a maximum upper limit of 150. The number of directors must be 2.

Gerd Tenzer (* 4. August 1943 in Baden-Baden) ist ein deutscher Manager und ehemaliger Verbandsfunktionär. Er war Vorstandsmitglied und stellvertretender Vorstandsvorsitzender der Deutschen Telekom AG.

Leben
Tenzer studierte Nachrichtentechnik an der Rheinisch-Westfälisch Technischen Hochschule Aachen und war ab 1968 im Ulmer Forschungsinstitut von AEG-Telefunken tätig. 1970 wechselte er zur Deutschen Bundespost. 1980 wurde er Referatsleiter für Fernmeldepolitik im Bundespostministerium. Tenzer gehörte von 1990 bis 1994 dem Vorstand der Deutschen Bundespost Telekom und ab Januar 1995 dem Vorstand der Deutschen Telekom AG an. Dort zeichnete er für die konzernweite Koordination von Produktion und Technik, Breitbandkabel, Innovationsmanagement, Einkauf und Umweltschutz verantwortlich.

Zu diesem Zeitpunkt galt Tenzer als ein möglicher Nachfolger auf den Posten des Vorstandsvorsitzenden, nachdem Helmut Ricke im Dezember 1994 seinen Rückzug aus der Unternehmensführung bekannt gegeben hatte. Tenzer betonte, er sei eher "ein Mann aus der zweiten Reihe". Letztendlich konnte er sich aber nicht gegen den damaligen Sony-Manager Ron Sommer durchsetzen, ein Vorgang, der das Verhältnis zwischen beiden belastet haben soll. Zudem galt Tenzer wegen seiner SPD-Parteimitgliedschaft bei der Regierung Kohl als nicht durchsetzbar.

Am 24. November 2000 wurde er in Frankfurt am Main für zwei Jahre zum Vorsitzenden des Verbandes der Elektrotechnik, Elektronik und Informationstechnik (VDE) gewählt.

Im Frühjahr 2001 führte Sommer einen Umbau des Vorstandes durch, bei dem Tenzer die Verantwortung für das Festnetzgeschäft verlor. Spätestens ab diesem Zeitpunkt galt das Verhältnis zwischen Tenzer und Sommer als dauerhaft gestört.

Nachdem Sommer in Folge der Börsenkrise Anfang der 2000er Jahre immer stärker in die Kritik geriet und am 16. Juli 2002 schließlich zurücktrat, rückte Tenzer als Stellvertreter neben Interimschef Helmut Sihler in die Vorstandsspitze. Vorbehalte seitens der Vorstandskollegen brachten ihm den Ruf eines "Königsmörders"  ein, der Sommer unbedingt beerben wolle. Auch im Aufsichtsrat und an den Kapitalmärkten zeichnete sich Widerstand ab. Nachdem die Bundesregierung Tenzer als möglichen Sommer-Nachfolger ins Gespräch brachte und damit die öffentliche Diskussion um die vakante Nachfolge erneut entfachte, fiel der Kurs der T-Aktie um fast 14 % und verzeichnete den bis dahin höchsten Tagesverlust.

Am 14. November 2002 wählte der Aufsichtsrat Kai-Uwe Ricke, im Vorstand bisher für die Töchter T-Mobile und T-Online verantwortlich, zum neuen Vorstandsvorsitzenden und Nachfolger von Helmut Sihler. Unmittelbar nach der Berufung Rickes zum Konzernchef kündigte dieser einen Umbau und eine Verkleinerung des Vorstands an. Als sich abzeichnete, dass Tenzer in den weiteren Planungen Rickes keine Rolle mehr spielen würde, zog er sich noch im November 2002 aus dem Vorstand der Telekom zurück. Tenzer war dem Unternehmen als Sonderbeauftragter für Telekommunikations- und Wettbewerbspolitik aber weiterhin verbunden.

Wirken
Tenzer eilte der Ruf voraus, technische Abläufe bis ins kleinste Detail zu kennen, was ihm den Beinamen "Herr der Netze" eintrug. Siemens-Vorstandschef Heinrich von Pierer bezeichnete ihn als "das technologische Gewissen der Telekom" und "harten Verhandlungspartner".

Zu seinen maßgeblichen Errungenschaften zählen der Neuaufbau einer leistungsfähigen Telekommunikationsinfrastruktur in den neuen Bundesländern, die ISDN-Einführung, die Digitalisierung des Telefonnetzes, der Ausbau von DSL-Zugängen, die Restrukturierung und Forcierung des Verkaufs des Kabel-TV-Geschäftes sowie der Umbau von der Behörde zur Aktiengesellschaft unter anderem durch die Reduzierung der Anzahl der Fernmeldeämter von mehr als 100 auf 13.

Sonstiges
Gerd Tenzer ist verheiratet und Vater einer Tochter und eines Sohnes.

Seit 1963 ist er Mitglied der katholischen Studentenverbindung KDStV Franconia Aachen.

Auszeichnungen
1986 erhielt Tenzer das Eisenhower-Exchange-Stipendium. 1992 ernannte ihn eine US-Fachzeitschrift für den Glasfaserausbau in den neuen Bundesländern zum "Fiberman of the Year". Im Jahr 2000 wurde Tenzer von der Umweltstiftung WWF Deutschland zum Ökomanager des Jahres gewählt. Hintergrund der Auszeichnung war die von ihm erreichte Verdoppelung des Recycling-Anteils bei Telekom-Produkten. Für sein Engagement bei der Einführung von DSL in Deutschland wurde Tenzer 2002 vom International Engineering Konsortium der IEC Fellow Award verliehen. 2004 folgte die Verleihung des Bundesverdienstkreuzes am Bande durch den damaligen NRW-Ministerpräsidenten Wolfgang Clement im Namen von Bundespräsident Johannes Rau.

Aufsichts- und Beiratsmandate
Mitglied im Zukunftsrat NRW; Aufsichtsrat in folgenden Telekom-Tochtergesellschaften: T-Mobile (auch 3 Monate lang Vorsitzender der Geschäftsführung), T-Systems, T-Venture (Vorsitz) und DeTeLine; ECI Telecom, israelischer Anbieter von Netzinfrastruktur; SES/Astra, internationales Satellitenbetreiber-Konsortium und Transmode, schwedischer Anbieter von Netzwerklösungen.

Q: Make Spotlight indexing use less CPU? Whenever spotlight begins indexing my files, my computer's fan starts spinning like crazy. Is there any way to essentially tell spotlight that it doesn't need to finish as quickly as possible, and that I would rather it take longer and use less of my CPU percentage at a given time? (I.e. reduce fan noise.)
One thing I noticed is that Spotlight was causing Sophos Anti-Virus's InterCheck process to run at near 100% CPU. By disabling Sophos' "on-access scanner", my CPU usage is less, but still hovers around 50% occasionally.

A: You cannot configure how fast Spotlight will index files. Normally, it should auto-throttle itself and not cause massive CPU usage (unless fully rebuilding indexes or doing first-time indexing).
If you run into trouble with Sophos and Spotlight, you could tell Sophos to ignore Spotlight's metadata folder. Also, note that there a lot of grief about Sophos interfering with spotlight: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3562174?start=0&tstart=0

Southern Forest Area Change Tools
SouthFACT
Desktop Toolkit
Project Code
State & Regional Data
Forests of the South are constantly changing. Numerous projects completed and ongoing have identified, quantified or otherwise documented these changes at varying scales, frequencies, and durations. Some of these projects include:
Southern Forest Resource Assessment
Southern Forest Land Assessment
Forest Inventory and Analysis National Program
ForWarn
Forest Health Protection Mapping and Reporting
The Southern Forest Futures Project forecasted that up to 22 million acres of forestland in the South will be lost to other land uses over the next 50 years. Changes to forest cover due to wildfire, prescribed fire, forest pests, non-native invasive plants, natural disasters, climate, harvesting, and conversion to other uses (e.g., urban, agriculture, etc.) greatly influence the Southern landscape. Timely information that helps identify where these changes are occurring is critically important to sustain short- and long-term efforts to manage, conserve, enhance, and restore forestland in the South.
Remote sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS) technologies are more frequently being used to assist with a variety of projects ranging from wildfire, disaster, and pest damage assessments to the identification of forest operations for Best Management Practices (BMP) monitoring. Utilizing a variety of satellite analysis methods, Landsat satellite imagery, and supplemental data, the Southern Forest Area Change Tools (SouthFACT) project is working to develop a web-based forest change detection system capable of near real-time analysis of imagery and distribution of simple-to-use products as frequently as biweekly.
The primary purpose of the SouthFACT project is to support efforts to identify and quantify changes in forest cover as they occur across the Southern landscape and to provide the information to state forestry agencies and partners in a way that helps sustain efficient and effective program delivery, including:
Responding to natural hazards (e.g., wildfire, hurricanes, tornadoes, ice damage)
Assessing damage to forests following natural hazards
Reviewing and advising landowners harvesting timber
Assisting landowners and resource professionals with reforestation
Identifying and responding to forest health threats
The initial phase of the SouthFACT project includes the 13 Southern states, encompassing 142 World Reference System (WRS) – 2 path / row areas that intersect one or more of these states.
Funding and Project Participants
The SouthFACT project is made possible through the collaborative efforts of state forestry agencies in the South, with funding support from the U.S. Forest Service Southern Region (Region 8). Southern state forestry agencies were awarded a 2014 competitive Redesign grant under the Cooperative Forestry Assistance Act to complete the project. The N.C. Forest Service is serving as the lead state responsible for facilitating the development of the applications through the Southern Group of State Foresters (SGSF).
The University of North Carolina at Asheville's National Environmental Modeling and Analysis Center (NEMAC) is supporting the development of the SouthFACT website and applications. The guidance and collaboration of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Earth Resources Observation Systems (EROS) Data Center (EDC) has been and will continue to be critical throughout the project.
This site is provided by the Southern Group of State Foresters. SGSF is a non-profit organization consisting of State Foresters from the 13 Southern states, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The SouthFACT web site provides access to the most current and highest resolution information about changes in forest cover available for the South.

Former Miss Auburn trying to become Nashville's first woman mayor
September 3, 2014 by Jeremy Henderson 2 Comments
THAT COULD BE YOU, NASHVILLE: Linda Eskind Rebrovick, Music City mayoral candidate, plants the customary congratulatory kiss on the cheek of the 1976 Cake Race winner.
Auburn has been first at so many things. Football. Coke. The hurry-up offense. Next on the ever to conquer list: Woman mayorships of major southern cities.
Leading the charge is Linda Eskind Rebrovick, one of the most powerful women in Nashville and, more importantly, a former Miss Auburn (1976-77), who announced Tuesday that her hat was in the Music City's mayoral ring.
Still orange and blue'in'..
So can Rebrovick's Auburn career shed any light on how the Nashville native would lead her home town?
Well, as an incoming freshman in the fall of 1973, she definitely knows how to navigate civil unrest. Heck, she even knows how to tread the tricky waters of voter irregularity: the release of the results of the 1976 campus elections were delayed because of some mysterious malfunction of the voting machines which had to be rushed to the Georgia State University computer center at 3 a.m. for the official tally.
Judging by her campaign expenditures, she'd be pretty fiscally responsible. Only one of the five Miss Auburn hopefuls in 1976 spent less than "the girl with the Gayfers look" on T-shirts and literature and signs and stuff. (And that person didn't win.)
She was National Commander of Capers, the co-affiliate of the Pershing Rifles. That's a big deal, and probably means she supports the troops. She was also a member of Alpha Gamma Delta, and a War Eagle Girl… just a model Auburn citizen in every sense of the word.
But equally, if not more impressive than her qualifications? The sincerity in her voice. The woman wants to serve the people.
"Miss Auburn is more than just a title," Rebrovick (then Eskind, of course) told the Plainsman. "She must be a person who is willing to work for the students and the university along with persons of all age groups outside of campus life. Miss Auburn requires a person who can establish a rapport with these various groups. I have had a lot of experience working with people of every age and I feel that this opportunity would prove to be an enjoyable one.
"I also think that Miss Auburn needs to be an energetic person who is enthusiastic, but especially dedicated. I have always been dependable in anything that I endeavor to become a part and will will fulfill any obligations to the best of my ability.
"Miss Auburn should be aware of campus issues and problems for she is accountable to the Student Government Association. I have been involved on campus for the past three years, and understand the requirements of working with the SGA. I feel that I can represent the entire student body of Auburn University as their official hostess and also as a member of the SGA, and I will strive to better the university in any way that I can."
Do the right thing, Nashville.

Julia Rayford says
Linda will make an outstanding Mayor. She is a personal friend of mine that treats everyone equally no matter the situation. She is highly motivating to me and I adore her. She is highly qualified to be the Mayor of Nashville and she is a true leader. She leads with distinction and a sense of moral character.
