Cavalier Film Room: Little things from the long name
November 22, 2013
It was a good chat with Denny last night. I spent most of the night trying to guess in my mind how many drinks Denny had before and during the podcast. Dude is a pro’s pro because I couldn’t guess.

I’d second the fixed lens purchase. 50mm is the “standard” but it is a little long on a crop sensor body, 35mm is better for “normal viewing”. You also get a lower F-stop (i.e. F2.0) that lets you take better pics indoors.
I like this web-page if you want to play a bit with shutter speeds vs F-stop vs ISO.

Craig make sure Denny see this. But Denny, I have been wondering for a while now, what type of scientist are you? I’m currently in grad school (for PhD in biochem) and can relate to a lot of your opinions. Curiosity makes me wonder how similar our stories are.
Synthetic chemistry, mostly reduced oxidation state main group stuff (which requires gas-phase, synthetic organic, and inorganic techniques). I love biochemistry (especially biophysical chemistry), but wearing flip flops and latex gloves all around the chemistry department didn’t appeal to me so I ended up going the organometallic route.
