[quote who="AgentRamenRice" reply="38" id="3380955"] when i said Nazi Germany it is quite obvious that i was referring to Germany back in 1945, i don't see what the fuss is. we are the sole super power the remained from the cold war, we HAVE accumulated immeasurable amount of power. if you want to dispute this, argue it from the military point of view. i am a troll? thanks for that, i think you are a troll, its just a matter of opinion. lastly, OKAY, do you really th

[quote who="AgentRamenRice" reply="29" id="3380124"]see Nazi Germany[/quote] We live in 2013 you could easily just said Germany back in 1945 instead of Nazi Germany in 2013 -considering that not only Germany was under the regime of Hitler -where were you in history class man? Sole Superpower? Did you ever look beyond the borders of US... Not every country can be invaded by the US easy. If the rest of the world would Unite...uhm ? If we stop thinking for a minute and c

They should´ve investigated a bit further on it, people like that must have deeper related problems ( if you have to tweet about something like this "to make a joke"- that isn’t anything in the sense of sane ) either his cojones must have been producing too much testosterone so that his brain switched to Flintstone mode that night while he wrote it or he´d suffer from deep mental issues that need to be treated ASAP. But I guess he did get a beaten by security

[quote who="Neil Banfield" reply="2" id="3379599"] Do you know anyone else with a DSLR, if so it may be best to get the same brand so you can borrow lenses. Personally I like the Sony A DSLT series and I own an A57, but they also have the smaller NEX series. Nikon and Canon also have some good DSLRs and as BernieTime said a camera a few years old is likely to also be miles better than your current camera.

[quote who="Fuzzy Logic" reply="15" id="3380629"] The picture is dark because it's against the light. The camera has exposed for the bright areas leaving other areas dark. Usually you would need exposure compensation of + 1 to 2 stops to make the picture lighter. With a small sensor size 5mp means very little. The picture isn't sharp because the camera just doesn't have the resolving power needed. The flowers are better as they are in direct sunlight. H
