I tried a bit last night to get a good shot of my Christmas tree. The tree has colored lights.

I didn't have much luck. I really wanted to bring out the brilliance of all the lights together, like my eyes see the tree. I tried to slow down the shutter speed to around 1/30 sec, but the shots started being way overexposed in red. I tried adjusting the white balance, even using presets, no luck, always overexposed one way or another.

I could get the overexposure out, but only at faster shutter speeds where you could barely see the lights.

Any more ideas to get a good shot of the tree/lights and have everything look like I see it?

FYI, the only equipment I have is a Nikon D50, 28-80mm f3.3-5.6 lens, a SB-600 speedlight, and a tripod!

Most movie stars base all their beleifs on living in California, they need to enter the real world of the working man or women. We do not care what the movie stars think. Please tell me what you think about our stars political views.

A woman was leaving a coffee shop
with her morning coffee when she noticed a most unusual
funeral procession approaching the nearby cemetery.




A long black hearse was followed by a second long black hearse
about 50 feet behind the first one.




Behind the second hearse was a solitary woman walking a
pit bull on a leash.




Behind her, a short distance back, were about 200 women
walking single file.




The woman couldn't stand her curiosity.




She respectfully approached the woman walking the dog
and said, "I am so sorry for your loss", I know
now is a bad time to disturb you, but I've never seen
a funeral like this. Whose funeral is it?"




"My husband's."




"What happened to him?"




The woman replied, "My dog attacked and killed him."




She inquired further, "Well, who is in the second
hearse?"




The woman answered, "My mother-in-law. She was trying
to help my husband when the dog turned on her."

I am teaching impulse-momentum theory and want to use the real world example of a car crash, but I don't know how long it takes for a crash to happen. Any ideas?

My friend got married about a year ago and his wife does not want to change her last name. She has no particular reason. Is that weird?

Just pick one: there's love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, temperance, faith and meekness.

So which one do you need and why?

My duaghter has purchased silk roses (singles) for her wedding cake. HOW the heck do I arrange these so that they are ready to go on the cake? I would just rather purchase them already made! Does anyone have a website that has directions to do this? Or even a place or website I can buy them? All the previous question here talked about using silk flowers but not how to arrange them! thanks all!

I've recently had a new combi boiler fitted and so the cupboard that used to house my water tank is now empty. I would like some new doors for it but they are odd sizes (w36cm, H 111cm). Can anyone suggest a place for me to look that isn't too expensive?

Friends,

I realize we are all busy and usually in a hurry.. But I was hoping I could persuade you all to take a moment out, to enjoy a little something.

Please, click on this link...: http://www.jacquielawson.com/viewcard.asp?code=ZS43976949

Then click on one of the ink bottles, and watch what happens.

Thank you!

8th best in Overall rushing and tied for 11th in yards per rush. Considering the top back went down for the year in week 7 and the new top back missed 3 or 4 entire games this is pretty darn good.

Combine that with one of the Top 3 passing offenses in NFL history, and I think we've got ourselves and undefeated super Bowl Champion on our hands.
