Vegan BBQ Wrap

Here is just a quick little something i just threw together...

Ingredients:

  • Morning Star Chikn Strips
  • 2 Slices Vegan Cheese
  • Boston Lettuce
  • BBQ Sauce
  • Wheat Wrap
  • Litelife Smart "Bacon"

In a frying pan, fry 2-3 slices of "bacon". While that cooks wash lettuce. When bacon is done place aside and fry a small handful of chikn strips. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on medium and then add BBQ sauce and "cheese". Cook until it just about starts to crisp. Add everything to the wrap and enjoy.

HDR Photography

My Very First Tutorial

As I mentioned before I will be doing some video tutorials that will only be available on my myspace. In my first tutorial I mentioned that you should reference this post to learn how to set up to photograph for an HDR image. You will need a camera and a tripod for this. With HDR you are taking multiple images and merging them together so it is crucial that your camera remains still while taking the photographs. The basic concept of HDR, which by the way stands for High Dynamic Range, is that your camera doesn't see exactly what you see... it exposes for one section of what is in the frame. So if your camera is exposing for a bright area, everything in a darker area is going to be too dark. So, what you need to do is take from 3 to 5 exposures, one that is perfectly exposed, one that is under exposed by a stop and one that is over exposed by a stop. This is known as bracketing... if you look on youtube i'm sure you can find some useful info on bracketing. You can also have one exposure that is under exposed by two stops and one that is over by two stops. The point of this is just to have enough information for the camera to read that it can see every little detail whether it is bright or dark. Also, you should be taking these in RAW and not jpeg... agian youtube is a great resource on how to learn how to do things like that. So head on over to Myspace and check out the video... good luck.

Not really sure how to start this so i'll just start. I found this site a week or two ago and forgot all about it until about half an hour ago when some one tweeted about it. (sorry cant' remember who, no shout out) It's kind of popular so it's not like i'm sharing anything new, I just wanted to show you all what it said for me and I want to see if it lives up to expectations. The name of the site is TwitterCounter.com and it gives you stats about your twitter account. Below are my stats for what I have already done and a few predictions of what is to come...
