Because I just thought of it.

Why didn’t you just say you had a light meter? That’s the best way to check.

Yeah, you’d probably need f/2 or 2.8 in the bathroom – those lights aren’t as bright to the camera as they are to you and I.

Smoove D: I was trying to shoot something in my bathroom. The small (really small) room is lit by three vanity lights. I opened two lens to about f/5.6, anything more I feared that I would lose all DOF.

One simple thing I will do tonight is to take my light meter into the room and see what that registers. If it tells me the same thing as the camera then it’s a user error (misconception) and not an equipment problem.

Dirt on your sensor isn’t causing your issue. You would have to go all Rolling Stones on it’s ass and paint it black. How wide is wide open? And what, exactly, do you mean by decent light? Do you have similar issues outside at noon?

So I finally clicked through to see what potion of what I wrote that the Loaf used and am I ever laughing my fucking ass off now…

So far only sixty hits, we’ll see what it looks like at day’s / week’s end.

I’ve cooked garlic as you have, I was trying to be “different” and “different” turned out to fail.

Today I am sporting my Columbia flip-flops which I probably paid no more than $15. I can’t stomach paying much more than that for flip-flops.

Dude, that post above me is gonna drive visits up, can’t you add a “this site has XXXXXXX” counter ASAP?!

You can cook garlic in a little ceramic thingy or, conversely, cut the top off of it (leaving it intact), put some olive oil on it and then place that on top of your chicken, like a fake garlic chicken head… I’ve cooked mine a little over an hour when doing this and the garlic was “spreadable” on a piece of bread… yummy! The onion may have blocked the heat needed to cook it……

I’ve been diggin’ my flip flops this summer, but at times have flip flop envy when I see nice ones, as mine cost me $6 bucks… just not willing to pay $75+ for a pair of Keen flip flops/sandals… though they are way cool.
