Antigua, GT: La Cuevita de Los Urquizu buffet of typical Guatemalan dishes.
Hot stews in terra cotta pots are at then entrance. A table that runs the length of one room holds sides and desserts. Buffet here doesn't mean serve yourself. Decide on a main dish and two sides and the staff will put together the plate. There is a choice of tortillas or pan Frances with the meal.
This site has some good close-ups of the contents in each pot
Select a table from one of the many rooms and a server will take your drink and dessert order. Pay at the end of the meal. This report says "The rooftop at La Cuevita is the best spot to eat there -- great views of the ruins across the way"
They are really good about answering what each pot holds I didn't notice the menu board out front and asked what each dish held. There are also dishes available that are not on the buffet table.
A few of the stews and dishes include the classics such as pepian, hilachas, suban-ik, tiras de panza, chiles rellenos, adovado, revolcado. There's carne asada, pierna horneada, pollo horneado, longanizas, chorizo,
Some sides include: Ensalada Rusa, piloyada, Guatemalan guacamole, frijoles volteados curtido de remolacha
Desserts include: Plantanos en Gloria, plantanos en mole, molletes en miel, pan de banano
There's a refrigerated case with pasteles (cakes) de fresa, crema and tres leches plus a few other items.
Other items posted on menu signs throughout the restaurant: panes con chile, pierna y frijole, tortillas con carne, enchaladas, Guatemalan tostadas, Guatemalan tacos, Guatemalan pupusas de chicharron, frijoles, queso y mixtas, ceviches y cocteles.
I put the qualifier "Guatemalan" in front of some of these items because they are totally different than the more familiar Mexican items. A Guatemalan taco, for example, is like a rolled Mexican flauta. A Guatemalan pupusa is much larger than the better known Salvadorian version.
They open at 8 am and serve breakfast, but I haven't looked into that yet.
The name loosely translates as The little cave/den of the Urquizu family, It is located across the street from the Capuchin Nunnery

CORDERO (lamb stew): B … Above average
I chose the cordero because at that time it was the only dish I was unfamiliar with. The red sauce was rich and the lamb flavorful, tender and falling off the bone. It was a satisfying dish.
A note to people who may not be familiar with Guatemalan food. It is not highly seasoned and to some that translates to bland. Often Guatemalans will add hot sauce to taste. If you like that, just ask for some hot sauce. My Guatemalan friends always do.
QUISQUIL (squash): B - … Very good
This is similar to summer squash or zucchini. It was very fresh and as tasty as that type of squash gets when simply cooked. It wasn't mushy or over-cooked.
PICADO DE RABANO (chopped radishes): C - … Slightly below average
One of the dishes I'm crazy about in Gautemala is picado de rabano and the similar dish, chojin. This was NOT a good example of this. It was totally devoid of flavor and I didn't bother finishing it.
COMPLIMENTARY ESCABECHE (pickled vegetables): A - … Way above average
The large slices of onions, carrots and jalapeños still had a little crunch. There was a nice heat to them. It is probably one of the better escabeches that I've had anywhere.
COMPLIMENTARY TORTILLAS: B - … Very good
The were good, as are all Guatemalan tortillas. Hand made, of course, and just off the griddle. Pan Frances, a yeasty dinner roll was the other option. The basket on another table looked really good and I'll give that a try next time.
JAIMAICA RESFRESCO: C … Average
Agua fresca is called a refresco in Guatemala. This was fine but nothing special.
STRAWBERRY GRANIZADA (slushie): D - … Bordering on inedible
If you like 7-11 slushies, this might not seem so bad, but it is a sad example of a Guatemalan granizada
Grazinada can mean anything from hand-shaved ice topped with tropical fruit to slushy types which are little better than what 7-11 serves. Here it was like the later. There was this awful artifical strawberry flavor. The saving grace was it was a cold dessert on a hot day, but even then I couldn't finish it.
SERVICE: B - … Very good
The staff answered questions and brought the food and check promptly. They didn't interact much with customers outside of answering questions, but were pleasant.
AMBIANCE: B - … Very good
The first tiny room has three tables. After that there is a larger enclosed patio. I didn't go up to the terrace upstairs. It is a pleasant casual place to eat. High chairs are available for babies.
This is an excellent write up on a blog and it has a lovely view of the patio shot from the upstairs. I found the food descriptions exactly on target.
Here's a nice photo of the exterior from Antigua Daily Photo
This restaurant is a happy middle ground between the tourist joints and the modest commodors or street vendors. For people who would be hesitant to try the later, this is a good way to sample the cuisine of Guatemala without worry.
The portions are generous and you won't leave hungry. I've read that if you ask, they will let you have a taste of some of the stews before making a choice.
The business card reads
"Si usted viene a La Antigua y no come en La Cuevita de Los Urquizú ¡Es como si nunca hubiera venido!"
""If you come to Antigua and don't eat at La Cuevita de Los Urquizu, it's like you never came!"
This is one of the best Guatemalan breakfasts I've had. I can give it no higher praise than to say I would not be ashamed to take Guatemalan friends or family here.
Breakfast is a little different from lunch. There is a menu (see Flickr photostream) and a server takes your order rather than ordering at the front of the restaurant
People think "Latin American" and expect spicy. That is not the case of Guatemala which for the most part eschews all things spicy. So the food might not be to everyone's taste. However, this is as good of an example of a Guatemalan breakfast as I have tried anywhere. If you like spicy, ask for hot sauce. That's what most Guatemalans do.

re: rworange
COMPLEMENTARY BREAD BASKET: B - ..... Very good
While the bread basket was fine, this is not the pan Frances that make my taste buds sing. It didn't have that yeasty quality I like so much. The pan dulce was on the dry side, but that is what some of these are like in Guatemala. They are meant for dipping in coffee. It did that well. Both were of good quality, so while they weren't amazing, I couldn't downgrade them any more.
COMPLEMENTARY MOSHITO DE AVEENA: A - …. Way above average
Moshito is like cream of wheat, only using oatmeal. This is the best version I have ever had. It was nicely spiced and garnished with a piece of cinnamon bark and a clove of nutmeg. Consistency wise it was the mama bear of moshito … not to thick or thin, just right. Nicely sugared as well
TAMAL COLORADO: B + …. Very, very good
I love the wetter Guatemalan tamales is this is a good example why. The masa was nicely done and wrapped around two tender, flavorful pieces of pork. It was topped with a red sauce that was almost as thick as spaghetti sauce and it had a nice tomato flavor. It seems the better tomales colorado have this type of tomato sauce.
PLANTANOS EN GLORIA: A - …. Way above average
Like the moshito, this is the best version I've ever had and, again it was due to the spicing. The liquid was good. Sometimes it tastes like nothing but water.
FRIJOLES CON CREMA Y QUESO: B + …. Very, very good
Very nice smooth frijoles. The little piece of queso was delicate and tasty. The crema brought it all together.
GRILLED LONGANIZA: C + … Slightly above average
I've come to the conclusion that Guatemalan longaniza is just not to my taste. They are fine but they don't have much flavor to me. These were nicely grilled and I could see the herbs, but meh.
GRILLED CHORIZO: A - …. Way above average
On the other hand, I don't think I've tried a Guatemalan chorizo I didn't like and this was one of the best I've had, meaty, spicy and nicely grilled. They came with two salsas, a very good green salsa that had heat and a type of salsa fresca. The tomato salsa was mild and the tomatoes had flavor
COMPLEMENTARY TORTILLAS: A - …. Way above average
I wasn't impressed with the tortillas on my last visit, so this might be a matter of timing. Lots of places make the tortillas early in the day and then hold them in baskets, reheating later.
In the morning the tortilla ladies were just making them and they were hot off the griddle … simply a beautiful soft interior with a nicely griddled outside.
FRESH ORANGE JUICE: B + …. Very, very good
This was a generous serving of a tasty juice.
COFFEE WITH MILK: B + …. Very, very good
I am usually not a fan of mild roasts. This was one but it was done right. It was so good I ordered a second cup.
CAPPUCCINO: D + … Below average
I know this type of cappuccino with the fancy glass and three distinct layers is a favorite of many Guatemalans. However, I think they made it with the same coffee as the regular. It had zero flavor and was even watery tasting. Nice foam and sprinkle of spices on top … but is supposed to be about the coffee.
- Huevos a caballo (eggs on horseback: fried eggs on a grilled, thin slice of beef)
- Chuchitos (like tamales, but with mashed potatoes instead of masa)
- Pancakes or waffles
- Typical Guatemalan breakfast
- Desayuno Campesino (fried eggs with green sauce on ham)
- Cereal, toast
- Omelets
- Rellentitos (fried mashed plantano patties filled with beans)
- Plantanos in honey
- Manjar in leche (flan, I think)
- Magdalena (a sort of orange tea bread)
I over-ordered and they wrapped the food carefully to go. Nothing moved around and my remaining breakfast was intact. On this visit, near, Christmas, poinsettias replaced the bariletas or kites as decorations. There was a nice Christmas tree in one room.
It was quiet at eight in the morning on the sunny patio. There were three tables of Guatemalans enjoying breakfast. I still haven't made it up to the upstairs terrace. My next stay in Antigua is going to be the terrace tour, checking out the terraces at many restaurants in the city.
I wouldn't hesitate to return. Maybe next time I'll try the longanizas en chirmol de Zapatera at La Cuevita de Los Urquizu that were in a big pot at the front of the restaurant.
re: rworange
We had lunch here and were really excited to visit again since we had eaten here both times on our previous trips. The food still looked delicious and the staff still very friendly, but the food did not wow us this time. We were a large group and we all agreed that the food was under seasoned. We ate there on our 2nd day, expecting to return multiple times, but we didn't bother returning at all.
re: JazzyK
Really sorry to read that post, JazzyK. It's been a favorite of mine since it was just a couple of pots on the street cooking lunch for local workmen. I wonder if now that their clientele is more tourist than local, they're less concerned about the quality. Shame. I'll still try it again when I'm there April/May in the hope that you just hit it when some regular cook was on vacation.
re: JoanN
For Guatemalan food, it was one of the best spots right in the city of Antigua. However, this was my first time eating there, so I can't compare it to the past. From dish to dish though it was inconsistant with some things very good to others not up to averages such as the chopped radish salad.

Overview Reviews Details Accessories Articles & Videos by Dave Bar This Bird is the word The first time you lay eyes on Focal's stylish and diminutive Bird system, it doesn't seem possible that such a compact three-piece setup could ever sound big. And where the heck is the subwoofer? But as the music swells and fills your listening room with rich, detailed, and powerful sound, there's no denying that this is one amazingly good thing that does come in a small package. But it really shouldn't be too surprising because Focal, the maker of world-class six-figure home speakers, truly knows what they're doing. Bottom view of the Power Bird subwoofer/amplifier (in black) A modern system that fills your room with sound not components The system's main console, known as the Power Bird, features a unique design part integrated amplifier, part powered subwoofer. In addition to containing all the connections for your audio sources, the Power Bird drives the system's satellite speakers with 35 watts of power each, and pushes its own built-in 6-1/2" subwoofer with an 80-watt amplifier. This console won't take up much room on a shelf, and you can even mount it vertically on the wall using the provided bracket mounting system. Versatility should be the Bird's middle name. And compact versatility at that. The Power Bird connects to classic audio/video sources like Blu-ray and DVD, making it a perfect companion to your television. Analog inputs include RCA and a mini stereo jack, so music from your CD player or portable player will make itself right at home. And with its built-in Kleer® wireless receiver, this system lets you add an optional Focal USB dongle to enjoy favorites from your computer or an optional Focal iPod dongle for playing music wirelessly from your favorite portable Apple device. Great sound from any perch Bird satellite in white, on included "tulipe" base The Bird satellite speakers make your music stand out clearly while remaining visually inconspicuous. Each two-way speaker delivers rock-steady performance with your favorite tunes and video soundtracks. You get two different types of stands that let you set the speakers on a shelf or even mount them aloft on your wall. Wherever they alight, you'll enjoy the harmony they bring to your listening and your living space.

Speakers were larger than I thought not a huge deal except I was selling the wife a small system for the bedroom. Good sound decent image especially for what they are. Only downside is no USB for the digital connection. Are people really still using optical over usb? Anyway I guess you can do wireless USB but you have to pay another hundred bucks for it which I will have to if I want to run music from my server off of the network. If you can get past those few issues the system sounds great and is relatively small. Oh and when you are unpacking the amp the subwoofer is built into the bottom with no grille try not to stick your fingers through the cone. Pros: All in one system for small to medium size room Cons: No grille to protect sub and not USB connector on amp you have to pay more for one 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Amazing system! Written By Esteban S., New Orleans, LA on Friday, October 18, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I was in the search for a good system to replace my Bose companion 5. I read many reviews of different products and brands but this system was the best reviewed always. After saving for some months I finally got them. When I opened the box I found the Birds which I thought were a lot smaller than what they are. Size does not really affect the great looks of this speakers. They are impressive looking. The power bird is super stylish and not to heavy as other amps. I used the Bose companion 5 for several years, I really thought that they were great but to be honest you cant compare them this system is superior in every aspect. Sound quality, style, functionality and power for sure. I used the wireless dongle accessory and my mac book pro as audio source. If you want the best audio quality and functionality just go for them, probably best system money can buy in a 2.1 system. Pros: Amazing sound, great style, functionality and wireless function works amazing with my mac.

It offers both analog and digital audio connections. The Bird 2.1ch speaker system consists of two satellite speakers (Birds) and a integrated amplifier/subwoofer (the Power Bird). The Bird 2.1ch system also features built-in Kleer technology for wireless audio streaming of select devices. In addition, speaker wire and mounting hardware are also provided. The Focal Bird system can produce stunning sound in rooms of 131 sq/ft or more. Power Bird Integrated Amp/Sub: The Power Bird integrated amplifier/subwoofer is at the heart of the Focal Bird system. The Power Bird combines an integrated amplifier with a built-in subwoofer. The integrated amplifier powers the included Bird satellite speakers and provides connection of your analog and digital sources. The built-in subwoofer adds extra depth and bass to your audio soundtracks. The integrated amplifier is rated at 35 watts x 2ch (satellite speakers) + 80 watts x 1ch (sub). The built-in subwoofer is a down-firing 6.5" paper cone woofer with a rubber surround that is capable of producing lows down to 42Hz (+/-3dB). There is an acoustically-tuned port, covered by metal mesh grill, on the front-panel of the Power Bird for added efficiency and bass response. Bird Satellite Speakers: The Bird satellite speakers are an ultra-compact 2-way sealed (acoustic suspension) speaker that produce impressive sound for its size. Each speaker employs a 0.75" aluminum dome tweeter for crisp, clear highs; and a 5.5" polyflex cone midbass driver for accurate, detailed midrange. These ultra-compact speakers feature a contemporary looking cabinet in either a gloss-black or gloss-white finish (with matching grille). There is also a silver rim around each speaker. Controls Front-Panel Controls: The Focal Bird 2.1ch speaker system features a front-panel rotary volume control and a source-select button (Analog 1/2/3, Digital, Wireless) across the front-panel of the Power Bird (integrated amp/sub). Simply keep, pressing the source-select button until you access the desired input. The front-panel rotary knob controls the entire system's volume. Subwoofer Controls: The Focal Bird system offers subwoofer controls on the rear-panel of the Power Bird integrated amp/sub. There is a rotary bass level control and phase switch (0°/180°) for the built-in subwoofer. The bass level control and phase switch lets you blend the built-in subwoofer's sound with the included Bird satellite speakers. Built-In Crossover: The Power Bird integrated amplifier/subwoofer features three dip-switches on the rear-panel that controls the unit's built-in crossover. As the default, the built-in crossover is set for the included Bird satellite speakers. The crossover can also be set for Focal's Super Bird or Bird satellite speakers. This is not a variable crossover; it can only be set to pre-fixed crossover frequencies to accommodate Focal's Bird series of speakers. In most cases, you sure never have to adjust these dip-switches. Auto Power: The Bird 2.1ch speaker system automatically turns on when it is receiving an audio signal from a connected source (whether wired or wireless). If there is no audio signal input to the Bird system for approximately 20 minutes, it will automatically switch to standby mode. Note: The main power switch is located on the rear-panel of the Power Bird integrated amplifier/subwoofer. Remote Control: The Bird speaker system comes with an IR remote control for wireless operation of the system. It includes Power, Volume up/down, and Source-Select controls. The remote control will also operate basic playback functions of your wirelessly connected iPod/iPhone/iPad or computer (wireless transmitters sold separately). Playback functions include - Play/Pause, Fast Forward/Rewind, and Skip Previous/Next. The remote operates off of a single CR2032 3V lithium 'coin-type' battery. Focal Remote App: A free Focal Remote app for Apple iOS devices coming soon (available from iTunes later this year)... Connections Analog Audio Inputs: The Power Bird (integrated amp/sub) of the Bird 2.1ch speaker system is fitted with three analog audio inputs on the rear-panel. There are two sets of stereo audio RCA inputs for your TV, satellite/cable box, DVD/Blu-ray player, or game-console. And, one stereo audio 3.5mm minijack input for your TV, computer, or digital audio player. Note: The Bird speaker system does not contain any video inputs or outputs. Digital Audio Inputs: The Power Bird integrated amplifier/subwoofer is also fitted with two rear-panel digital audio inputs. There is one optical (toslink) digital input and a coaxial (RCA) digital input for connecting your TV, satellite/cable box, DVD/Blu-ray player, or game-console. Only one of these inputs can be used (not both). If you are connecting the Bird 2.1ch speaker system to your TV, connect all your external audio/video devices (such as your satellite/cable box, DVD/Blu-ray player, and game-console) to the TV; and then run an optical digital cable from your television to the Focal Bird system. Note: The system's digital inputs (optical/coaxial) will only recognize a PCM digital audio signal (not Dolby Digital). Make sure your television is set to output a PCM digital audio signal. If your television does not support 2-channel PCM through its optical digital output, then connect your television to the Focal Bird system via an analog connection (RCA/minijack). Kleer Wireless Receiver: The Focal Bird 2.1ch speaker system features an integrated Kleer wireless receiver for wireless audio transmission when wirelessly connected to other Kleer compatible devices. Kleer wireless technology delivers lossless CD-quality digital stereo audio (with no compression) over a robust 2.4GHz radio-frequency link (up to 33') with very low power consumption. Optional iTransmitter for iPod: Simply connect the optional iTransmitter (091BIPD, sold separately) to your Apple iPod, iPhone, or iPad's dock connector and it will automatically transmit to the Focal Bird speaker system (when the system is in Wireless mode). The iTransmitter provides a non-compressed wireless audio transmission of your Apple device's stored music or streaming music apps. The iTransmitter is compatible with most iPods, iPhones, and iPad's with dock connector. Optional Wireless USB Transmitter: Focal's optional wireless USB transmitter (091BUSBD, sold separately) will allow you to connect the Bird speaker system to your Mac or Windows PC for wireless audio streaming of your computers entire music library. Note: The included IR remote control will operate basic playback functions of your wirelessly connected iPod/iPhone/iPad or computer. Playback functions include - Play/Pause, Fast Forward/Rewind, and Skip Previous/Next. Spring-Post Speaker Terminals: Both the Bird satellite speakers and the Power Bird integrated amp/sub employ spring-post speaker terminals. The spring-post terminals of the Power Bird integrated amp/sub will accept bar wire (up to 10AWG), pin-connectors, and single banana plugs. The spring-post terminals of the Bird satellite speakers are very small and can only accept bare wire (up to 14AWG) and pin-connectors; these spring-post terminals are too small for standard banana plugs. Note: The Focal Bird system comes with two 8' lengths of 16AWG speaker wire. You can swap this wire out for high-quality speaker wire from Monster or AudioQuest (sold separately). Front-Panel Headphone Jack: The Power Bird features a front-panel 3.5mm headphone jack for connecting a set of headphones, so you can privately listen to your music. When a set of headphones are connected, the Bird system's speakers are muted. AC Power: The Power Bird integrated amp/sub includes a detachable 8' AC power cord to connect to a power/surge protector or wall outlet. Mounting Options Power Bird Integrated Amp/Sub Mounting: The Power Bird can be used in a flat, vertical, or horizontal position. It can also be fixed to the wall, thanks to the included wall-mount bracket system. It can even go under a piece of furniture as it's flat and compact, so it can be easily hidden, whether horizontally or vertically; or even flat against a wall like a radiator thanks to the supplied fixing kit. You will need to unscrew the Power Bird's four rubber feet and affix the included wall-mount bracket to the bottom of the unit in order to mount the integrated amp/sub to your wall (mounting hardware also included). Bird Satellite Speaker Mounting: Each satellite speaker comes with two table-top stands/wall-mounts to choose from. You can choose from either a circular-base or a tripod-style table-top stand/wall-mount. The table-top stands/wall-mounts can do exactly that; they allow you to either place the speakers on a table, shelf, or desk; or mount the speakers to your wall or ceiling. Mounting hardware is included to wall/ceiling mount the speakers. The table-top stands/wall-mounts features a ball-on-socket joint which allows you to rotate and angle the speaker for the best possible listening position. The table-top stands/wall-mounts have a hollow body, so you can route and conceal your speaker wire. When placed on a table or shelf with the circular-base stands, the Bird satellite speakers measure 6.625" (w) x 11.25" (h) x 6.625" (d). Using the tripod-style stands, the Bird satellite speakers measure 8.75" (w) x 11.25" (h) x 8.75" (d). The Bird satellite speakers measure 7.125" from the front of the speaker to the wall, when wall-mounting the speakers.

I try to keep things simple. Stitched panoramics are relatively easy if you make a point of carefully leveling the tripod first; then sequential images don't stair-step from one to the next. The longer your focal length, the easier it is to stitch frames together. With the 70-200 zoom, parallax and distortion are generally non-issues. With the 24-70 zoom it helps to rotate the lens around its nodal point, which is simple to locate. Choose the focal length you need; then use a tape measure or ruler and measure that distance forward from the image plane (helpfully marked by Canon with a little circle & slash symbol on the left side of the pentaprism) and that's your nodal point.
I confess that I just stitch manually in Photoshop. I tend to overlap successive images by 30% or more to make alignment simpler. It's critical to expose in metered manual mode, so each frame has the same aperture and overall exposure. I bring each successive frame in as a new layer at 30% opacity and nudge it over until it's aligned properly. I then use a soft eraser to smudge any evident joints. This has worked fine even for images stitched from two rows of four images each. I save one copy with all the layers intact for future rethinking, then flatten the file to make it more manageable in size for subsequent image editing.
As for horsepower, more is always better. A 22" x 64" image at 240 dpi is something over 500 megabytes. I have a 3.2 mHz Pentium 4 with 1.5 gigabytes of RAM, and I get to watch the hourglass symbol for a while after hitting "enter" for most operations, but it's not intolerable. Once you're done with gross exposure adjustments like levels or curves you can drop down to 8 bits per channel to make the file smaller if necessary, but I usually stay at 16 bit. The most time-consuming part is the actual printing. A 22"x72" print takes just about an hour to come off the 7600, set to 1440 dpi and "high speed" turned off. (I figure, why do anything to compromise on quality after working so hard to acheive it?).

and the screw hole for the tripod on the bottom of the camera body would be exactly in line with the centre of the lens one way and in line with the sensor ('film plane') the other way. That's the nodal point.
The film plane is absolutely NOT the same as the entrance pupil (aka "nodal point") of the lens, which is important when shooting stitched panos. To locate the entrance pupil, go to manual or AV mode, set the aperture to f/22, and press the DOF preview button. The entrance pupil will correspond to the location of the aperture diaphragm, which will become visible when looking into the front of the lens with the DOF preview button pressed. It will be between the front element and the lens mount somewhere. With zoom lenses, it will vary depending on the zoom adjustment.

I can clearly see this on my Tamron 28 - 200 zoom when I was checking it, but still find it really tough to judge where it is in the lens for sure. All the lens elements really give a lot of optical illusions about where things are in the lens.
Actually that isn't really something you need to worry about. The entrance pupil is where the diaphragm "looks like" it is, not where it is physically located in the lens. Use that as a starting point, and then use the method posted by Tim Gray to fine-tune. Here's the pano setup I use:
I typically shoot single-row panos, as I can easily overtax my dual-Athlon workstation with 3GB of RAM stitching 8-9 1Ds images, but I can do multi-row panos if I readjust the positioning plate for each row.

I use exactly the approach Lin describes for finding the nodal point, and it works for me. I've done this for several zoom settings of my zoom lens, then made marks the positioning plate the camera is sitting on (like in Jonathan's photo above) for each of them, so I know where to set the rail on the tripod in the field for whatever focal length I want.

I have a question for those who sell landscape prints. Do you folks work with mostly medium or large format camera's?
The reason im asking is that I would like to start a side business of (hopefully) selling fine art prints. Mostly landscape/nature work. However i have a manual focus Nikon system (FM3A). This is a long term project (i would be like to be up and running sometime next year). Should i invest in a medium/large format system as well (for larger prints)?

I disagree that it's a preposterous idea. In my opinion, it's not realistic to expect that you're going to instantly achieve wide recognition or make a lot of money. I don't think it's at all unrealistic to try to start selling your work to make some side money or offset your equipment/travel costs.
What equipment you'll need depends on your artistic goals and your target audience. If you intend to sell big prints, they are easier to achieve with larger-format film or higher-resolution digital gear, but that's just a very general statement. People can and do sell prints made from 35mm film and they sell small-format film images to stock houses. People also sell prints of various sizes captured on lower-end DSLRs. People sell inkjet prints and traditional darkroom prints. There are no ironclad rules here: the equipment needs to suit the task at hand and it needs to suit the kind of art that you make
If you can be a little more specific about the sort of work that you do and your intended clientele, you may get more direct answers from this forum.

I not only agree with Geoff, but I started the same way: scanning 35mm and 645 and 6x7 negs, migrating to digital capture, and now using the same 1Ds Mk II. If you love it and work hard at it, it may work for you. It worked for both of us.
Good Luck!

I use an Epson 7600 with the basic Ultrachrome inkset and Bill Atkinson's wonderful profiles. I mostly have been using Somerset Velvet roll paper, but have just changed to Ultrasmooth fine art because it gives a slightly better D-max with matte black ink. Prints up to 2x8' are no problem with this setup. The biggest issue is simply handling such large prints! I now carefully roll them up for transport, and have them mounted/laminated on boards for display.

I love the idea of doing panoramics by stitching together images. I definitely want to give it a shot sometime. Do you simply rotate the camera on the tripod and overlap a little when your shooting? Is it ever proper to move the tripod so many feet and take the next image, them move it further, and again, and again... Is there a place for both methods or would moving the tripod not keep the image in line enough?
It seems like actually moving the tripod if you could do it accurately enough would keep better perspective. Do you have to do work to correct perspective in the software?
I was also wondering just how much computer power it takes to handle the huge images. How many Mb's or Gb's are you dealing with? Do you do all the photo stitching and manipulation, and printing in Photshop or do you use something else? It seems that it would work most systems to the brink to try to stitch more than a few together or to finally open and print the big one.

I'm have a little trouble finding my nodal point. Didn't even know I had one.
If camera designers were photographers, then the buttons would be in the right places, the controls easy to use, and the screw hole for the tripod on the bottom of the camera body would be exactly in line with the centre of the lens one way and in line with the sensor ('film plane') the other way. That's the nodal point.
Unfortunately, on some cameras this isn't the case, and so as the camera rotates around the tripod, the lens isn't simply turning, but moving. Think of it this way. If you lift one leg off the ground and pivot on your left foot, you're not pivoting in line with the centre of your body. From a photography point of view, stitching in this situation would be impossible because of the distortions. You can use a focusing rail to correct for this, though, by attaching the body to the rail, the rail to the tripod, and moving the camera along the rail to line up the centre of the lens with the turning point of the tripod.
If your mind is attuned to beauty, you find beauty in everything.

I have been making successful panos using a Canon 24mm Tilt-Shift lens, and the Photoshop stitching feature. I made a 24"x50" and the seem was invisible. With the T-S lens, I keep the camera stationary on the tripod, and take two shots, one with the lens shifted each way (with overlap in the center). I don't know if the lens elements shift around the true nodal point, but it definately works for me.

Are there any good plans / products (hopefully cheap) that would maintain the nodal point for both horizontal and vertical adjustments, while shooting one multi-shot scene?
Someone sells an inexpensive tripod head that does this, the Panosaurus - you can check it out at:
I have one, and it works great. The only downsides are that it isn't very compact (so it's difficult to take hiking, for example) and it doesn't appear tough enough for very frequent long-term use.
For hiking, I instead use a smaller, simpler sort of rail recommended in an earlier thread here (just a couple of months ago) that gets single-row stitches correct, but not multiple-row stitches. Look for the thread titled, "what tripod heads for stitching" and check out the photo on page 2 of it.

I find the previously discussed methods for finding the nodal point way too complex. Here's the easier way again.
The circle & slash symbol that marks the imaging plane of a D-SLR is on the camera body, not the lens. On my Canon bodies it's easily found on the left side of the pentaprism. Simply frame your image as desired, then see what focal length your zoom is set to. Now use a tape measure or ruler and measure exactly that distance forward from the circle & slash symbol; that's your nodal point!
Just center that point over the rotational axis of the tripod, and take your successive photos. With my 70-200 zoom, the quick release plate on the collar is long enough that I can generally slide the whole thing backward or forward to cover the nodal point. I use an ancient Pentax macro focusing rail for shorter lenses.

That is absolutely false. It varies dramatically depending on the lens design. For example, the entrance pupil of my 70-200/2.8L IS is just in front of the zoom ring as indicated in the photo, no matter what the focal length setting is. It doesn't matter whether the lens is set to 70mm or 200mm, or anywhere in between, the entrance pupil is alwas right in front of the zoom ring. On the other hand, with the 24-70/2.8L IS, the entrance pupil moves along with the front lens element, so it is farthest forward at 24mm and farthest back at 70mm, which is exactly backwards of what your method would predict. But it tracks perfectly with the apparent location of the aperture diaphragm as viewed through the front of the lens on every lens I've tested.

Thanks to all for the replies on this; suggestions, pictures, links, etc. It has been very helpful. I see that there is a lot of disagreement about how to find the nodal point or the best way to, but I think I will just have to experiment with the different lenses I have with some of the different techniques and see what I find.
Right now, I still only have a 35mm Canon EOS film camera. So, this makes it to where I don't have the crossed through circle mark on my camera that was mentioned, and am also not able to easily take panoramic shots right now.
I plan to get a D-SLR in the next couple of months though and hope to be able to shoot panoramics as much as possible when doing landscapes. This topic gives me a lot to think about that I hadn't really thought about before on the subject.
I apologize to the original poster that asked about fine art landscape prints, as I might have drifted this topic off of that of his original one. Hopefully, he is still around and got something from the talk of panoramics, as I think panoramics in the digital age (especially for smaller format digital cameras) have become more important to landscape photos. It will allow the smaller cams to compete in some ways with the larger formats, and that's pretty neat.

Actually that would be the ONLY part that was right (if he was suppossed to go in there which he wasn't), since the ROOF of the building WAS listed as OB in the program - he would be able to take a meter from that OB line.
We don't have to ever worry about that again - in that spot - as the gym hole is going away as they expand the REC center.

Outdoor Bowls Game
A centuries-old game in a modern form designed for your yard.
A full set of Bowls for outdoor play.
These resin bowls are great for playing with the whole family. The game as we know it today can be traced back to the 13th Century, although some evidence does exist that the Ancient Egyptians played a similar game. Since the England Bowling Association was founded in 1903 the game has become very popular.
The rules are relatively simple. The game is played with a minimum of players or up to four bowls players. Each player takes turns to roll their Jaques ball towards a small white Jaques jack (the bowls jack is included). After each competitor has delivered all of his/her Jaques garden bowls, the bowls player whose bowl is closest to the bowls jack wins.
Bowl size is approx. 3.8" in diameter.

Comments about Premium Large Grill Cover:
This grill cover was perfect for what we needed. At some point over the past several years we lost our grill cover. Since I went to pains to spray paint our grill this past summer I wanted to ensure that the weather didn't ruin my grill again. I was so pleased to find a cover that fit (although not perfectly is has adjustment tabs which make it a pretty perfect fit) and protected my grill from the elements. It is a nice oversized cover with great rain protection. I'm very happy with a reasonably priced purchase.

Cleaning Solvents
Key Documents
Cleaning solvents are used to remove oil, grease, solder flux, and other contaminants. In the SNAP program, the "cleaning solvent" sector refers to substitutes for non-aerosol solvents used in industrial cleaning in vapor degreasing, cold batch cleaning, or automated cleaning equipment. SNAP does not currently cover dry cleaning, manual cleaning with non-aerosol solvents, non-aerosol mold release agents, or component testing agents. SNAP reviews alternatives for ozone-depleting cleaning solvents such as CFC-113 and methyl chloroform.
End Uses
The SNAP program has reviewed and identified substitutes for three cleaning solvent end uses:
Metal cleaning is removing contaminants such as cutting oils, grease, or metal filings from metal parts.
Electronics cleaning is removing contaminants, primarily solder flux residues, from electronics or circuit boards.
Precision cleaning is cleaning to a specific grade of cleanliness in order for products to maintain their value.

Where the hell does Amanda Beard get off saying, "eww", when she was asked if she had kissed Michael Phelps? Seriously, the dirty slut had the nerve to pose naked, she is no position to be picky. Isn't she aware that with his record breaking gold medal wins, he will be a multi millionaire? It is common knowledge that money is supposed to buy access to womens bodies. As long as you are in possession of a vagina you must spend your life on an auction block. It seems that if you refuse to be sold like chattel, it is perfectly acceptable to be a called a slut and a whore. Good to know that in 2008 women are still expected to fuck on command.
CNN makes it quite clear that in comparison to Michael Phelps, Amanda Beard is a nothing. That she is also a gold medalist is completely ignored in their desire to paint their hero as ruler of all he surveys. Why didn't she just acknowledge her own second class citizenship in comparison to the new lord and master of the pool. Poseidon God of the water has a dick and must be fed pussy to keep a float.
Poor Amanda does not know what she is missing, and it doesn't matter anyway as it seems CNN decided in the end, that Michael could do better than sloppy seconds. Yeah the king of the water deserves fresh, virginal pussy. No one on this horrendous panel stopped for a moment to discuss Phelps sexual history. He was picked on as a child, boo hoo, he can't possibly have any freaky sexual peccadilloes the world might be interested in. MMMM...what was I thinking, men don't have sexual peccadilloes, especially when they they are conquering heroes....Men like Phelps fall into the category of STUD. Valenti got this one right, He's a stud, She's a slut is the way the world works.
If she had slept with him, she would still be a slut because women are supposed to be virginal. Not sleeping with him is still reason to be called a slut because women are meant to be passive in the face of male sexual advances. No matter what angle you look at this from slut shaming is meant to keep women constantly changing their behaviour to satisfy whatever particular male interests are at play at any given moment. Women are reduced to marionettes in a game of sexual conquest in which their genitals represent the totality of worth. Legs open or leg closed it simply does not matter as long as we are focusing on how men want us to behave rather than what is appropriate for our needs and desires. You had me until you apologized Amanda, you had it right the first time. You are entitled to pick who will, and will not sleep with without being constructed as a whore.

Is that a bird? Or a plane? Nope, it's a weather balloon! Regularly misinterpreted as a UFO, weather balloons can serve as a reliable source when looking at the weather. Weather balloons were first used in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Now, they are not as common as they once were but still can be used to find out more facts about the atmosphere around us. Weather balloons are packed with instruments and then sent up to receive information about the weather around us. The weather balloon reports information about the atmosphere pressure, temperature, humidity, and wind speed.
The actual instrument used is called a radiosonde. The radiosonde is actually what receieves and transmits the information. The balloon is used as a hoisting method and the radiosonde does the rest of the work. Weather balloons can be used as a prediction tool or to measure weather in current time. Weather balloons are also used to monitor pollution, research, aviation interests, photography, and videography. So next time you look up and think you see a UFO, you might just see a weather balloon doing its job.

About Don Garber

You never know what's going to happen next.
My wife purchased a used Burberry checkbook cover for two dollars in a thrift shop in 2001. A few months later, deciding she didn't want to use it, she sold it on eBay - the final bid was over $160. From this moment on, I found the intertubes to be a lot more interesting than I did before.
I've worked in civil engineering and design. I've worked all levels of uniformed security, armed and unarmed; military, commercial, and academic. I've even been a casino dealer (hint: they usually take your money sometime.)
Had I known how much I'd enjoy working on, with, and around computers, I would have given my teenager-amateur-programmer more time to learn the craft.
This is the industry to be in if you're never satisfied with your current skill level. There's always something new to learn, some new software or tool to practice. HTML5, CSS3, jQuery, JavaScript, AJAX, .net, C#, ... I think it's easier to say what I don't want to learn, what I don't want to do next than list all that I do want to do.
I live with my wonderful wife and three
furry children cats.

Rated 4.8 out of 5�by 38 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by JP Perfect in-between wedge to knock down a couple of strokes from your round! This Wedge Is Perfect... if you need a club that you need to hit either 35-65 yards straight up from the fairway, or over a 35+ foot tree in that same distance. I have hit it perfect about 90 percent in my last 4 outings (roughly 8 times of 9), so I do believe it to have a very large "sweet spot". I am a below average golfer and highly recommend this club to those who need help between their 1st pitching wedge and their 25 yard max lob wedge. August 26, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by winkster Black wears off quickly. I like the wedge, good spin on the ball with the new grooves. Only complaint is the durability of the black finish. In less than a month playing 2 to 3 times a week, the lead edge is almost bare. May 31, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Willie Love this clubs I picked a 54* and a 58*, I ve definitely improve my short game and more greens in regulation. I have to say that Cleveland wedges are the best . August 26, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by DJ Almost too much spin!!! LOL Killer wedges. So much control and feedback and did I mention SPIN? Holy cow, you might have to get used to controlling the amount of spin but over all they rock. August 26, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by chorechaser great worth the money....great value....I do have a lot more control with backspin. July 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by ELF55 I Hit Them Great from the First Swing My old wedges were the CG15's so I do like the Cleveland product. I seem to get more spin from the 588 RTX. I bought the 54 and the 60 degree wedges and I am very happy with them. The black pearl finish is really beautiful. I know there are a lot of wedges out there, but I know you would not be disappointed with the 588 RTX. June 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Vetrev Feels good The club feels good in my hands. I can tell it well made. May 4, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by TheMack9 Great Gift I bought this club as a gift for my husband and he loves it. He was looking to improve his short game and didn't have a 58-degree wedge, so I took a shot with this brand. Luckily, my husband said he'd actually been looking at Cleveland wedges, so he was thrilled. The look is very sleek in person, and the club is high quality. He has only used it twice so far and has said it will take some practice to use it right, but when he does hit it straight-on, the result a huge improvement over his previous/regular wedge. September 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Dbk2tavi Huge Improvement on my short game With the backspin that this club puts on the ball it has made a huge improvement on my short game August 26, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by wedges This club helps me with spin control I am excited about my new wedge. It gives me the spin control that I need. It is also smart looking. June 28, 2014

Fast Facts & Figures About Social Security, 2002
The Social Security program, from its beginning to the present, has been the subject of serious discussion and sometimes vigorous debate. Today, as we consider the future direction of Social Security, we need to base the discussion on information that is factual, informative, and easy to comprehend.
Fast Facts & Figures answers the most frequently asked questions about the programs SSA administers. It highlights basic program data for the Social Security (retirement, survivors, and disability) and Supplemental Security Income programs. Most of the data come from the Annual Statistical Supplement to the Social Security Bulletin, which contains more than 250 detailed tables. The information on the income of the aged is from the biennial data series Income of the Population 55 or Older. Information from this data series that appears in Fast Facts & Figures is updated annually.
The faces that emerge from these facts and figures illustrate the importance of Social Security for our oldest and our youngest citizens. In all, more than 50 million people receive some type of benefit or assistance.
