			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have taken a lot of photographs of Ms. Olivia and here are two more.  The color image was shot in Hanover, PA during one of our walks and was taken on my Hasselblad 500c/m with Kodak E100VS film.  The B&amp;W image of her was taken on some 35mm camera with film that I forget.  Probably Kodak T-Max 400 film.</p>
<p>All of the Panoramic images were taken on the Ultonic Panoramic toy camera with Kodak Tri-X 400 film also during our Hanover walk.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After installing Snow Leopard a few days ago I took the time to open Activity Monitor to see what programs were running in 64-bit and which ones were left in 32-bit.  To my surprise I saw that my copy of Lightroom 2 was running in 32-bit still.</p>
<div id="attachment_884" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 455px"><a href="http://benbirkphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/Screen-shot-2009-08-30-at-1.36.33-PM.JPG"><img class="size-medium wp-image-884" title="Activity Monitor" src="http://benbirkphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/Screen-shot-2009-08-30-at-1.36.33-PM-445x171.jpg" alt="Lightroom running in 32-bit" width="445" height="171" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Lightroom running in 32-bit</p></div>
<p>Now I was really disappointed to see this because I though Lightroom 2 was supposed to run in 64-bit. So I went into my applications folder, found the Lightroom 2 app, and pressed Command i to get more info on the program.  There I found the culprit.  There was a box that was checked for the app to run in 32-bit mode.</p>
<div id="attachment_887" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 202px"><a href="http://benbirkphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/Screen-shot-2009-08-30-at-1.43.47-PM.JPG"><img class="size-medium wp-image-887" title="32-bit mode" src="http://benbirkphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/Screen-shot-2009-08-30-at-1.43.47-PM-192x445.jpg" alt="32-bit Mode" width="192" height="445" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">32-bit Mode</p></div>
<p>To fix this problem simply uncheck the box and open the app.  When the application loads you should see that it now says 64-bit on the tittle screen.  Running Lightroom in 64-bit now has given me a huge speed boost all over the application from load up time, to editing, and export.</p>
<div id="attachment_889" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 455px"><a href="http://benbirkphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/Screen-shot-2009-08-30-at-1.31.59-PM.JPG"><img class="size-medium wp-image-889" title="64-bit mode" src="http://benbirkphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/Screen-shot-2009-08-30-at-1.31.59-PM-445x214.jpg" alt="64-bit" width="445" height="214" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">64-bit</p></div>

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 13.0px 0.0px; line-height: 19.0px; font: 13.0px Georgia;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">I have not been to Philadelphia since when I was in middle school and went to a Flyers hockey game with my father.  So when Alex Kinttle called and asked me if I wanted to go skate FDR park I quickly agreed and set a date for our trip.  The hour and half ride went quick as we listened to music and dealt with Dustin being a little shit and making us all laugh.  Once we got to the park I took some time to skate the concrete park and rode the full pipe working on my transitions. </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 13.0px 0.0px; line-height: 19.0px; font: 13.0px Georgia;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">After skating for a while and taking a few safety breaks Alex and myself found this weird crumbling wall part of the bowl to shoot.  Dropping in from the far right side Alex was able to get enough speed for the feature and we quickly captured the shot.  Next on our list was the pink pool that sits atop of the park.  The deep side of the pool was to big for anyone to do anything to crazy on so we rode the smaller side.  Alex preformed a backside tailslide and Weston Petroski trick of chose was a rock and roll.  Before we left Bonyee shot high up the American flag  wall. </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 13.0px 0.0px; line-height: 19.0px; font: 13.0px Georgia;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">FDR was a great time and I will be sure to return.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I picked up this little focus free plastic lens <a href="http://www.collectiblecameras.com/catalog/images/UltronicP.jpg" target="_blank">camera</a> for $2 during my trip in washington, and put a cheap roll of Fuji Superia X-TRA400 into it right away.  I was a little worried about some of the film coming out overexposed but thanks to the latitude of color negative film the photos came out alright.</p>
<p>The lens which is a 28mm is set at F/11 and shutter speed is around 1/125th of a second.  The camera is not really a panoramic but instead gives an extreme crop to the image to give it the look of being panoramic.  Upon research of the camera I found out it originally came free with a subscription to Time magazine.</p>
<p>Also most of the images seem to be the sharpest in the middle and become more soft as it moves towards the edges.</p>
<p>For only $2 it is a great find and I can&#8217;t wait to try shooting some redscale film through it.</p>
