Using Film Speed Effectively

800 to 1200 Made for capturing fast moving subjects in all types of lighting situations. People running, playing ball, etc. This is repparttar

film you want if you want to freeze frame repparttar 116216

action of a baseball game. This film speed can be used for capturing fast moving wildlife, like birds, but you will see less detail if you enlarge above a 16 by 20 size. 1600 This film is for super high speed shots. Unless you shooting a car or boat race you probably won’t need this film. Don’t use this for nature and landscape images repparttar 116217

lack of detail will be obvious in enlargements. Most of repparttar 116218

time you’ll only need a 400 speed film for basic snapshots. But it doesn’t hurt to use repparttar 116219

other speeds for special occasions, you’ll notice a difference.

Test-flying for fun - RC planes and helicopters

The amount of fun you can have with an electric Zagi is amazing. This model is so much fun and so unbreakable, I found myself doing repparttar silliest of things with it. Like skimming across repparttar 116215 strip with repparttar 116216 prop clipping repparttar 116217 grass on its way through, stalling it from up high and seeing who could get repparttar 116218 highest bounce when it hit repparttar 116219 deck! Who cares, repparttar 116220 chances of breaking it are near nil.

That’s how we continued for repparttar 116221 rest of repparttar 116222 evening.... until we remembered that to fly in repparttar 116223 dark - which i used to do on a regular basis - you need 'glow sticks'.

So, back to repparttar 116224 shop to unload all repparttar 116225 models - we both commented on what a great evening’s flying it was, probably one of repparttar 116226 best this year - we are not trying to tempt fate or anything, but are now charging everything in sight ready for another evening of fun.

One of repparttar 116227 best things you can invest in is a fast charger - perfect for those last minute decisions to go flying, we have all put a lot of miles on my poor old ripmax fast charger.
