That's why I have a DSLR and also have a very good very small point and shoot. The DSLR is great when you are willing to carry the big camera, but the best camera in the world is the one that you have on you.

Happy birthday Noah and Grace!
So I have finally joined everyone in the 21st century: I got an iPhone. Does anyone have any apps they can recommend? I don't even know what I'm going to need, yet.

Because books.
Happy birthday to Noah and Grace! With double the cake!
Holli, I feel sure someone is going to suggest Angry Birds.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Happy Birthday Noah and Grace!
I am having basic colour theory problems. Can someone not color-tone-blind (as in, nothing clinical, I just don't *get* it) help me with the basics of choosing highlight and shadow colours?
What do you need to know? What media are you working in?

Holli, check the Tech thread--there've been a few different "what apps should I get?" discussions over the past few months.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OMG, my family. I can't tell the story so it makes any sense, but my mother and I just cracked up for ten minutes about almost getting in trouble at the Alzheimer's quilt exhibit we went to yesterday. I do kind of feel bad for the poor woman who was trying to give us some literature about signs and symptoms, because all three of us were like, "Oh, WE KNOW."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What media are you working in?
Digital. I'm trying to apply highlights and shadows for a blue-grey jacket and beige fur, with an overall blue tinge to the whole thing. But I look at the grey jacket, and I just want to give it light grey highlights. But I have been told not to do that.
