Hi Gary,
As you discovered strobe is hard to work with for tricky product shots, and glassware can be tricky. I would switch to a floodlight bounced off the ceiling as a starting point. Possibly tinkering with the reflectors to get a little more sparkle in the front would improve it somewhat, as would placing hidden pieces of something to have the transmitted portion of the glass brightened a little. To soften the edge of the highlights try opening the lens to a wider aperature so the reflections are out of focus (gets a little tricky as it probably needs to be stoped down enough to maintain the sharpness of the glass itself.
You probably don't need to spend much on equipment (maybe $5 each for a couple hardware store flood reflectors or a couple bucks for a little more poster board. Maybe 50 cents for a pack of 3x5 cards to cut up to hide behind the glassware , or maybe the gray side of scraps of duct tape might look better)
The basic approach that works best when it must look superb is usualy to lock everything down, shoot it, evaluate, make incremental changes, and reshoot. and sometimes repeat.

I think it might be CT issue. There is an ongoing immigration fraud investigation against state employees so now they are over doing enforcement.
I had problem when I wanted to register my Car in New Jersey. I had moved to New Jersey from MA, so I had MA license at that time and was staying temorarily at my cousin's place. When I went to one DMV they told me that you need to have NJ driver's license to register my car. I told them the situation and that I was going to get NJ license once I get my place, but they just didn't register my car. I went twice at that place and got same answer.
Then I went to different DMV and the guy understood my situation and gave me a temporary NJ driver license number (NOT driver license) and registered my car. TOld me to give this number when I come to get NJ license and everything worked fine.
Its just some poeple don't want to know about some this or just want to create problems.

It appears to me that we should file all I-485 applications in July. Even if the advantage is illusory or marginal, it may be a good idea to file. If your application is ready to go, it should be filed. Regards. Rajiv.

Looks like everything in GM is on sale.
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601103&sid=ae2V3Y.7j85k&refer=news
Saturn is sold for $100 to $200 mn.
Who knows GM may sell the retired brands for 1 or 2 mn.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pontiac#End_of_the_Pontiac_brand
Now the important question.
Did tatas overpay for jaguar and landrover ? Looks like they did.
Even I got a garage sale this weekend!

... pre adjudicated and other than NC everything looks good.
I think, pre-adjudicated means every thing ready and waiting for Visa Number, so you need not worry - Whether EAD/AP renewal bothering you?
Within four months of processing time passing the RD, case is pre-adjudicated - I mean, when they were trying to give you GC, DOS did not reply with your Green Card Number (exhausted). I think USCIS is not delaying your case. If I were you, I would wait.
However many of us recommended to followup aggressively at various levels. It is up to you.

I'm having a problem with a Nikon d100 camera taking the necessary pictures for a high dynamic range photo. I need to take 3 pictures in a short ammount of time (which I can do, using the bracket setting) but I need to vary the shutter speed manually in this setting, with a different exposure time for each of the 3 pictures taken in the bracket. Is there any way that I can do this, or any software that will allow me to accomplish this?
Thanks,
Trish
As far as I know, this is exactly how the automatic bracketing mode works. Or at least, on the Canon cameras, that's what it does. Just set that the camera takes a +2, 0 and -2 exposure (I'd suggest using two stops, as you want to make a noticable difference between the shots, otherwise the "extension" of the range will be more or less useless).
However, I'm not entirely sure whether the camera will adjust the shutter speed or aperture, or both. It may well depend on which mode you set the camera to in the first place (Program mode -> change both, Shutter Priority -> change aperture [you set the time, so the camera changes the aperture to match], Apterure Priorty -> Change shutter speed [you set the aperture, the camera adjusts the time to match]).
Alternatively, if you use manual mode (and of course, no automatic bracketing available in manual mode), and set it to the "two stops shorter" time, you should be able to relatively quickly do "two clicks" on the dial that adjusts the time. Then do two clicks more. [of course, two stops is probably more than two clicks, but you get the idea].

I see people not supporting the CIR which was suppose to be a pro Immigration bill, no matter which part of the society it was supporting. My question is Are you guys out here a Pro or an anti immigration forum?
Or are you guys out here are to fulfill their selfish dreams, stand on others to reach the top.
Can anyone answer me? I really doubt the people out here.
Did you ask your parents whether you were born legal??
Some of have that doubt. Can you clarify please?

I find it difficult to digest that parents ship their infant children to someone else to raise.
Dude, if you find it difficult to digest, then don't do it with your kid. Its that simple.
A debate on this is probably not warranted, as its subjective to every individual's situation.
And btw, both my kids live with me, but they travelled with someone else to spend their vacation at grand-parent's house, so I am not trying to oppose your viewpoint.

hi All,
i'm new to this forum.please advice on my situation.
I was on F1 earlier and now I am on H1b from jan 2007.
I am the first person for whom company filed H1B and got approved.
I am the only person on my companies payroll and only person on their H1B. Is that going to be a probelm if i go for H1B stamping to mexico?
If i go for stamping to mexico, What sort of questions i will be asked?
Please help me ...
Thanks
I think its risky everywhere Mexico\Canada\India with a one person company. So make sure you have a valid F1 to come back or I would suggest that you wait for some more time so that you have more paystubs \ company has good annual returns so that you have all kind of documentation to show what the officers would ask you .
On a separate note I hope you know about the PIMS rule for visa stamping due to which it might take more time for visa stamping ( they say two days approx. but could be more ) . So if you do decide to go to Mexico plan to stay there appropriately due to this new visa stamping process ( has the PIMS process already begun ?? )

Actually being a Defence employee is a positive. You can show proof of stronger connection to home country because of following.
1) Pension that is available every month for life.
2) Free treatment at Army Hospitals.
3) Subsidised cost at Military Canteen facilities for provisions etc.
In my opinion, the strongest proof of connection to the home country is that the person has put his/her life on the line in her (the home country's) defense..
(Obviously, my opinion does not matter to the consulate officers who give the visa :rolleyes: )

This a good beginning to pass sub commitee in House. Chances are more in passing house if it comes to floor. Will it come? Actually anti immigrants were late in reacting sub commitee but they are targeting Senate more aggressively than house. Might be their aim is to filibuster in Senate with a few Senators.Time is a problem now. Only a few weeks are available before dec. May be if they cut short debates it is possible to pass as law. Looks like house leadership is determined to pass. Still the house bill tells that implementation will be on next fiscal year. If the bill is signed as law after oct it will be implemented on oct 2009 unless they change the date
Congress has gone into unscheduled recess till Sept 8th. Then it'll be too close to elections. Once new congress is seated, all bills introduced before then will not have any standing. So, let's be realistic and not get too excited.

The indian consulate needs a proof of address for me and my wife
We sent them the Property tax bill and hoped that it would work but get this mail from travisa
Proof Of Residence - Unacceptable
The proof of address received in your application is not acceptable for submission to the Indian Consulate. You must submit a proof of residence/address that matches the present address on the PIO application exactly. Photocopy of state issued ID (Driver License or ID), or major utility bill (Water, Gas, Electric, Sewage) or a copy of a lease containing both the landlord and tenant signatures must be submitted. The following items are not accepted: cell phone bill, credit card statement or bank statement. The address cannot include a P.O. box. For minors, a parent or guardian proof of address from both parents may be submitted instead. You can fax the proof of address to Fax: (415) 644-0158. In addition, you also have the option of mailing a paper copy to the address below.
Now why does not a property tax not work ? it is issues by the county.
We do not have the current address on my wife's driver's license and her name is not there on the PGandE bill
Any suggestion ? or anyone had a similar issue ?
Thanks in advance !!

my 140 was approved a week and a half back ..and i asked my attorney ..if my date was successfully ported..and he is refusing to divulge the information and telling me to contact my company..
1.) i know 140 is a employers prerogative and all that jazz..but should i not get a copy..or at least some basic information?
2.) Am i wrong is even asking for that information?
Pointlesswait,
Is I-140 approval and date porting done concurrently? my attorney told me that old priority date can be ported only when new I-140 is approved, we have to file an application to port date seperately. Correct me if i am wrong OR my attorney is just trying to drag it longer.
Thanks.
