Playing with WB is a common thing I do. Generally with landscapes, I favor a warmer tone - enough so that when I can't shoot a scene during golden hours in the AM/PM I try to get some of the effect back in post-processing. My Nikons tend to run about 500K-750K lower than I'd like on the white balance slider, so that's a pretty standard correction. Most scenes shot in normal 5000-5500K sun get pushed to somewhere between 6000-6500K.

According to my dad, I should ask them to give me a quarter because apparently it's bad luck to *give* someone a knife (but it's OK if they pay you for it, regardless of amount); it will end up "cutting" the ties of your friendship. Anyone else ever heard of that superstition, or is this just him being weird? (the latter is very, very possible 
)

I saw it on my bb over the weekend but thought I was just too drunk to be reading this correctly.

Morning, Box.
ROTFLMAO!!!
BTW, I'm jealous of those of you with EUAs to F in your upcoming travels. Nothing has cleared on my LGA-IAH-ANC mileage run, IAH-ANC is down to 1 F seat, ANC-IAH has none, and even the LGA-IAH-LGA flights are looking iffy at best for getting upfront. Thankfully I've got Row 21 on all segments, so teh BBDS will not be in tight quarters, but still...

The bread knife arrived as a baby gift. It was puzzling to get that and when I told the gift giver about it, she was shocked since that wasn't what she had purchased. She mixed up her gifts- the knife was suppose to go to a bride and a baby dress was to come to me. Imagine the shock the bride had when she opened her gift.

I think I'm going to start getting my sports news from a combination of Deadspin and Puck Daddy.
