Crop Factor

The crop factor [1] comes from the fact that the Sensor in a digital camera is smaller than a frame of 35mm film. This means the digital slr crops out the center portion of a given lenses field of view, but the image is still at the full resolution of the digital sensor. This crop factor gives a lens on a digital SLR a smaller field of view than it would have on a film SLR, giving it the same field of view of a longer lens when compared to a film SLR.

Fireworks @ Pittsburgh, Independence Day 05'

美国国庆日焰火
Fireworks in America's Independence Day.

我们提前了几分钟吧,赶到钟华推荐的North Shore, 这地确实不错. 左边是downtown高楼林立,右边就是一会的焰火燃放点.
We were just a few minutes earlier. The vantage location was chosen by Roi. And it is really a nice place. We were very close to the fireworks.

今天全用的18-70mm套头,总共就放半小时焰火,没功夫换头了。全用的这个头，手动对焦放在无穷远，ISO 200，手动曝光，曝光时间从2秒到8秒不等，光圈f/12-f/22。
All pictures were taken by Nikon D70, 18-70mm kit lens. Manual focus at infinity, ISO 200, manual exposure, shutter speed 2'-8', aperture f/12-f/22.



不多说了,各色焰火争奇斗艳

Posner Hall
The Tepper School of Business in Posner Hall is ranked among the country's top 10 business schools.


Hunt Library houses more than 600,000 volumes and is the largest library on campus. Mr. and Mrs. Roy Arthur Hunt, benefactors of the building, requested that nothing be built between the library and Forbes Avenue until after the year 2010.


Hamerschlag Hall houses the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and laboratories for the Department of Mechanical Engineering. The building was renamed in 1965 for Arthur A. Hamerschlag, first president of Carnegie Institute of Technology.




Wean Hall is home to School of Computer Science, the departments of Mathematics, Physics, Materials Science and the Engineering and Science Library. My office is in this huge building as well.




Baker Hall is the home of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, which includes the departments of Economics, English, History, Philosophy, Psychology, Social and Decision Sciences, Statistics and Modern Languages. It also contains the Department of Engineering and Public Policy. It was one of the original buildings designed by Henry Hornbostel for Carnegie Tech. Legend has it that the building was designed with a sloped hallway, so that if the school wasn't a success—the building could be converted into a factory with a gravity-operated assembly line.


Porter Hall is the oldest building on campus, (completed in 1906). Its long sloping hallway permitted easy transfer of heavy machinery to and from laboratories and workshops. Porter Hall houses the Department of Civil Engineering, the Department of Social and Decision Sciences and parts of the Electrical and Computer Engineering, Design and History departments.


College of Fine Arts is one of the most beautiful buildings on campus. Inside, you can find plans of world-famous buildings inlaid into the floor. The lobby floor displays plans for St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, while the ceiling features paintings and other great contributions and contributors to the world of art. CFA houses Carnegie Mellon's well-known programs in Architecture, Art and Music.
