I think they wanted to be as unbiased as possible for lack of argument..

probably because they couldn't figure out how to get a good photo of them in the water.. or lacked the right equipment to do so.. who knows.. I wouldn't do it or even condone it.

looks like they were taken with just the actinics.. shoot raw (if your camera will let you) and then adjust white balance in post process.. or.. use the custom white balance (again if your camera will let you) and set your white balance manually and then shoot the photos. Good luck, -Jake

Here is a good read on what you should look for in a camera and what will suit your needs.. Long, but good read. http://www.theverge.com/2012/1/2/2663464/camera-buyers-guide

^^ good job Derrick.. With a dslr a lot of it will have to do with your lens capability..You will also want to always shoot RAW if your camera has the capability with AWB (Auto White Balance). Editing RAW does not degrade the photo like editing jpg and you have more control of editing White Balance when editing a RAW image. With point and shoots you want to watch your ISO.. It can make your photos real grainy.. ALWAYS ALWAYS use a tripod and use a delay on the camera to avoid camera shake. If you are trying to shoot fish, it is a different story.

I know we are going to the Bahamas in July.. and thinking of a Sea World trip at some point..

aww man... I'm wanting a long nose.. oh well.. good luck.

Ive been wanting one of those.. if it is the right one.. do you have a pic?

What?!? You don't have Pics???

haven't been there either.. I have fed some pretty big cat fish at travis..

Not yet.. I have done some diving out at Travis..

It is not carbonated yet.. I am watching the umm... red flag .. lol yeah, it has been crazy... Too bad Jeff's engine blew.. Maybe Jr can finally break his streak..

hahaha.. 3 for me if you count scuba diving... lol

Here is the cardboy empty with the yeast cake at the bottom.. Yeast cake.. I save part of the yeast in a sterile baby food jar so I can use it the next time I make a beer similar or the same as this one.. more yeast cake clean up time.. Now the beer will remain in the keg conditioning for a couple of weeks, and then I will apply Co2 to carbonize it.

Alright guys.. sorry about the lack of updates.. I had a hockey game last Tuesday night and tore my ACL, cartilage, and meniscus.. It has not been a fun week.. Here is where we are at.. Looks like the fermentation has pretty much stopped, so I am going to take a gravity reading.. It looks like we have a gravity of 1.014 at 72F. The calculated gravity at that temperature is 1.015. What do I know from this reading? Remember when I took the initial reading? Here is where it is important. According to the calculations from my first reading our yeast is at 76.19% Attenuation. And according to the yeast chart, this yeast has a 72%-76% attenuation rate. That means that this yeast is pretty much exhausted and this beer is ready to keg. With our gravity readings I can also calculate the Alcohol By Volume (ABV) of this beer. It looks like it is sitting at 6.28% which is a whole 1.28% higher than Bud and a whole 2% higher than Bud Light.. It may not seem like much, but if you aren't used to it.. It will hit you. Here is the color and what the beer looks like in the glass The nose is of cloves It is of med/full body and has a clove and citrus flavor. It is smooth and not dry at all. Now it is time to move it to the keg. I will sanitize the keg and the theif (the device used to siphon the beer to the keg) and then move it over.

Well, there ya go. Now I learned something. Thanks victoly.
