part of my jd is to keep a breast of current news and dev, so i build a new computer costing over 1k, i didnt ask for that back, i would have been told to f-off. the old head of it get brought a pc every 4-5 years i needed a pen drive for work/home so i paid for one, i needed lots of pen drives for builds - i got school to pay. rant/ sorry im really hot today and brain fubar
-
i get so angry when staff come and say 'my pen drive has been lost/stolen/damaged.... can i have one?' they are £5 from play, go and get one!!! i paid for my own.... you earn more, if the school supplied the staff with their own it would cost a lot .... go, run, play.com, do it nowww /rant

well the head here says right i have X amout to spend, what do we need??? we NEED better air con in the server room, its way too hot in there.

i would love to go SAN but we have all fairly new servers so the head would not go for this. i would love a managed wireless system but the wireless in the school isnt used enough to warrant this

Nikon AF-S Nikkor 35mm f/1.8 G DX Lens they are hong kong based but i have used twice (same lens - dropped the first doh) my friend has one and it is amazing - focus time is almost 0! i would say dont worry about getting to much in the shot, learn to use what you have. i got a 1.8 purly for gig photography (low light). i am still learning mind, but happy with the results so far. i would say that a great trick/advantage of digital is shoot til your card is full, and take lots of the same thing. i learnt along time ago that whilst it looks in focus on the lcd its not when its blown up on screen - shooting afew times you are more likely to get a good shot + blinking of the subject is reduced. dont spend loads on equip, i have just finished my kit now (canon 450d, 18-55, 50 1.8, 70-200 + jessops flash ... oh and a bag of fleabay) i have a lens for each occasion and the power to use it, i just need the experience and knowledge to use it. ps. if you want wider that 18mm it cost ... alot. unless you go manual focus old lenses. i can prob ask my make the site he gets his from but i believe they are forums. he told me a quick trick - ask uni's that are/maybe getting rid of old stuff. when you do get on look at deviantart.com - shameless plug time - gibboap on deviantART pps. alwas shoot 'photography' in raw, (and remember to take it off raw when shooting prat around 'facebook' images, really need to bulk convert a load of raw stuff from a house party the other week arrrg) i have rescued a load of photos from gigs that the lighting was pooh.
