Re: bicycle theft

I had a beautiful Le Crueset omelet pan I got from the PX down at Ft Bragg while I was still on active duty after I got home from Iraq; enameled cast iron with a non-stick coating. "Someone' used a steel fork on it and ruined the non-stick coating. Le Crueset replaced the damaged pan gratis,

Re: Tres Pesos: Kitchen remodel update

Re: Exposure techniques

Proper exposure differs based on scene, intent, specific camera/sensor capabilities, and is affected by the metering calibration of whatever measurement device you're using. For example: Most flowers and a lot of foliage reflect high in the IR range, that's what insects see, and many digital
