Does any DJ’s use BOSE 901′s for their system…?
..if so how do you hook up to the equalizer, amp, and mixer? And if you do use 901′s you have them on tripods or hanging? And if hanging what kind of hardware did you use and how do you hang then at each gig? And if you use 901′s how do they sound ? I have a pair that I don’t use much in the house and I am seriously thinking of usuing them on gigs..
BOSE 901s are high in price for what they are and the color the sound way too much for my taste…
run an output of the mixer to the power amp and run the power amp to your unpowered speakers.
EQ goes into an aux. send/return channel

Photography for Beginners: Using a Tripod
Digital cameras have brought a whole new level of technology to the average photographer, but the old methods and skills are as relevant as ever.
A tripod is still an essential piece of equipment for good photography. For beginners, the purchase of a tripod is usually a sign that one is ready to move beyond the snapshot stage and get more serious about photography.
But if you have managed without a tripod in the past, perhaps you have wondered if you should take the plunge, or continue to get by without. So here is the first question you need to answer: “Do I need a tripod?”
The answer depends on how seriously you take your photography. If you are happy with simple snapshots, and have no ambitions of delving into more serious photography, you would probably be wasting your money. Tripod photography takes a little more time, thought and effort; if good photography is not important to you, you will not get value out of a tripod and probably would not use it even if you had one.
Now for the second question: “Why do I need a tripod?”
A tripod keeps your camera completely still, so you can take photos that will not be blurred by any movement of the camera caused by an unsteady hand.
There are two reasons why you might use a slow shutter speed for your photos. Sometimes the light is very low, and you need a slow shutter speed to get a good exposure. Or you may choose to use a slow shutter speed to capture a special effect. In both cases, a tripod ensures the camera is held still and the photo is not blurry.
An additional benefit is that the tripod allows you to compose a photo carefully, without having to concentrate on keeping the camera still in your hand. It is much easier to check that the horizon is level, and all parts of the photo are as you want them before you press the button.
Let’s assume for a moment that you have a tripod. Now for our third and final question: “When do I use my tripod?”
Some people will tell you you should never take a photo without a tripod below a certain shutter speed. The trouble is, different people recommend different speeds. Some photographers will tell you 125/sec is the lower limit; other will recommend 60/sec or 30/sec.
So who is telling you the truth? Actually, all of them. Because the truth is, it’s not that simple.
When you use a large lens to magnify your subject, you also magnify the effect of any camera movement. So if you use a telephoto lens, a shaky camera will affect your photo much more than if you use a wide-angle lens. So it could be that a photo you could take hand-held with a wide angle lens would require a tripod with a telephoto lens.
How do you know, then, when to use a tripod? This is a guideline that was recently told to me, and it is a good one to keep in mind.
Let your choice of shutter speed match the size of the lens. For example, if you are using a 200mm lens, you should be able to take photos without a tripod at speeds of 200/sec or faster. Once your speed drops below 200/sec, be sure to use your tripod.
For a smaller lens, you can go with a slower shutter speed to match. So if you are using a standard lens (around 50-60mm) you could set your cutoff point at 60/sec. Faster, and you can take the photo hand-held; slower, and you should use a tripod.
With a wide angle lens of 28mm, your cutoff point would be 30/sec.
There are some photographers who insist that all photos should be taken with a tripod, no matter what lens or shutter speed you use. This is simply not practical, but it does point to the simple fact that the tripod is always steadier than the hand. If a photo is important to you, it is worth going to some extra effort and leaving nothing to chance. So if in doubt, use a tripod, even when the shutter speed suggests you can get by without it.
Oh, and one more thing. Never, ever, ever take a photo slower than 1/30sec without a tripod.

what you do on canada day?
I do nothings and I never go for happy Canada day’s because after I land in canada as professional; artist http://hajiagha.tripod.com every times I try to sale or display or publish my art works I saw ignore and racism from the canadian they are asking me to show them I am canadian artist? who’s is the Canadian artist and who’s are not? I am canadian citizen and also artist, but why I don’t have right to sale or display my art work….why we can not have any support? why every things just go for the white canadian? they run the system and they are support each others…I remembers they are rejecting me to study at college ( animation because my Match and English was not qualified to enter to the college but no one ever in college lok after my art works…what I did I move to los angeles and I finish my school in los angeles, I am telling to you is nice place for them, and sending troops to Afghanistan’s to support human right so strange
LOL, man you are one frustrated troll. Use your energy in a more positive and constructive way like learning to write in english. Btw I did look at your artwork. Not that it isn’t good but another starving artist for the government to support isn’t high on the admissions list. Sorry, didn’t make the list. And if you think you have it bad at least you weren’t a qualified engineer or doctor forced to drive a cab while re-doing all your qualifications. But then how was being an artist in Iran working for you?

There’s considerable variety here; the heavy progressive-rock of “I Am I” and the ballad “Bridge” were hit singles, but there’s also the funk-inflected “Disconnected”, the edgy, spooky “Lady Jane”, and the piano-and-vocals “Someone Else?”. The title track is probably the stronge… |
