I took my camera out tonight and shot this longer exposure photo on the side of the road. I used the manual functions of my Kodak M580 to set the longer exposure and I used a police barrier and timer to keep it steady. This is a shot I probably wouldn’t have attempted with a point and shoot before but I really wanted to show a sense of a city in movement, constant movement in this photo. I think I did that. What do you think?
You Would Prosper in the Field of Medical Research
there are a couple of ways I could interpret this. For one thing it could me being a test subject in Medical Research. I remember hearing about people volunteering to have their pinky toes surgically removed and then reattached by surgical students. The pay for that was around $5,000.00 So, you certainly could prosper if that was the case.
The other way to think about this would be as the person who researches in the Medical field. That is really hard and tedious work with many hours of trial and error. However with laser focus on a specific problem to solve. I know that when I focus my attention on a task I really get into it as long as I see some sort of results. Which really makes me once again question my interest in being a Theology major in college rather than a computer science major. As a theology major all you ever get are more questions, and conversely you see results from computer science.
Blog like a Medical Researcher
If you want to gain focus as a blogger you should blog like a Medical Researcher. Identify a problem and research, test and trial to find the solution. The solution to the problem might not be the the point. The testing and learning that is done is what will make you a better researcher. As a blogger there is just so much to learn and you can easily get pulled into 12,000,000 different directions the moment you sign on. I can’t even tell you how many times a day something pops up on twitter that makes me go off on a huge tangent.
I was just over there talking about using the CHDK, which is the Canon Hacks Development Kit. I’m not developing hacks but rather using is with my Canon SD 800is. I plan to use a very specific hack called the Ultra Intervalometer this weekend. It should be pretty awesome. Here is one 20 minute experiment with 1 minute intervals.
See, tangent. I’m saying you can’t have that happen when you are trying to be like a Medical Researcher blogger. You’ve got to pick a topic and learn as much as you can about it, test it, break it and then blog about it. When you’ve done your research you can blog with authority on a particular subject. When you have tested a specific scenario over and over you can see that problem from many different perspectives. If you can see an issue from many different perspectives you can blog about it with knowledge and understanding. If you can blog about subjects with Authority, Knowledge and Understanding then you surely will prosper.
Or you could just get your pinky toe cut off for a quick $5,000. However that might be an urban legend.
