My wife is having trouble getting hired into a good position with a drafting firm in Fort Worth. She didn’t even get a bite while in San Antonio. I’ve suggested she visit an employment agent of some sort, but is there some sort of certification which would help convince local firms she knows what she’s doing?. She has an old associates degree, but she has 8 years of recent experience in contract drafting with a construction firm specializing in metal building construction for industrial, commercial, and even residential designs including estimation.
Howdy, Texas! Mineral Wells, here!!!
Try Cantex at the JR Horton building in FWorth. They need new blood and the engineer there might be interested in your wife. I think it’s the 27th floor.
That’s our main corporate office, but the plants are located here in MWells. There’s very little over the plant managers’ position out here.
The air is cleaner, tho.

Overall which camera will give me the best results for: Landscape/Architectural, wildlife and portrait and sports photography…
If sports or fast moving wildlife is a concern at all, it’s the 1D Mark III by a mile. The downside of the 1D Mark III is, it’s a 1.3x crop sensor in a full-frame body. This means you don’t get the full benefit of a ultra-wide lenses you might use for landscapes and architecture. That’s not necessarily a deal breaker but, it’s something to thing about.
Inspite of it’s great image quality, the 5D Mark II is too slow for sports unless a top speed of 3.9 frames per second is acceptable for your needs. The 1Ds Mark III is a bit faster, offers a much better autofocus and certainly offers the image quality you’d otherwise find in the 5D Mark II albeit, with a much higher price and much bulkier/heavier package. Still, with the right lens, either is an outstanding choice for portraiture.
I would like to surprise my parents with a makeover for their room. If anyone knows of a show that does room makeovers, please let me know.
Trading spaces
I’m still in high school, but i’m seriously considering interior design as my career once i leave school.
i was just wandering how you get into this kind of business, what courses i should take at uni or school, where i should go, etc.
please help!!
Contact the American Society of Interior Designers. They have a really good student program that will help you with all sorts of information on becoming a professional designer. You actually can join as a student and then attend meeting and seminars in your area, plus receive their publications and discounts.
If you’re serious, your first step should be getting to know this orgnaization:

Good luck.
my history teacher told us about it and said that a few years ago when she was there she saw this building and it looked like two building designs shoved together because the workers were so intimidated by stalin that they didn’t ask how he wanted it to look. i cant find it online and i dont know the name of it but if you could help that would be great.
Yes, I know this story. This building does not exist anymore as it’s been recently demolished. It was called "Moskva" Hotel (built in 1935) and situated right next to the Red Square. I put a link below for you with a picture to see how it looked like. If you look you’ll see that the two "wings" of the Hotel are not identical. The historical anecdote goes that Stalin had been presented with two designs both of which he (probably by mistake) endorsed. Architect A.V.Shchusev, who was the head of the project, did not dare ask Stalin which of the designs he preferred more and decided it would be safer to combine two into one.

Hi
I currently have:
* Canon EOS 50D
* Canon EF-S 18-55mm IS
* Canon EF-S 55-250mm IS
I am thinking of getting the following:
* Canon 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM (in the next few days)
* Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM (in the next few days)
* Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM (when I’ve saved enough)
I plan on using the
* 100mm for floral work, bug/insect work, and portraits.
* 10-22mm for landscapes, architectural, and some event photography.
* 70-200mm to have as a general purpose telephoto lens.
I also plan to eventually sell the current lenses I have (18-55mm & 55-250mm).
I understand that if and when I choose to go full frame in the future, that the EF-S lens will not be compatible with the full frame camera.
Am I making the right decision? Am I choosing the correct lenses for the type of photography I want to do? Thoughts, opinions and advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Edwin, someone did recommend the EF 16-35mm as the full frame equivalent to the 10-22mm.
I’m just interested in how wide the 10-22mm can go, and how much more I can get of a building if I were to shoot one.
But now you have me seriously thinking about the constant aperture factor…….. like now I’m in a reallllll pickle LOL.
Realistically, it will be a little while before I go full frame. Maybe a 1-2 years. I’m not sure when, but I will.
At this point, I am just heavily focused on taking some really good photos. And I’m quite interested to see what kind of pics I can get with the 10-22mm wide open.
Keep the advice, opinions and thoughts coming though……. i need them.
As I understand it, if you put the 16-35mm in a cropped body you won’t actually be getting the 16-35mm … but 25.6mm-56mm considering the whole 1.6x crop factor??
I’m fairly ignorant of the whole crop factor, but I think that understanding is influencing my decision to go for the 10-22mm.
Tripod is covered. It’s not the best in town … but it will do for the time being.
Flash will come later. The lenses are more important to me at this stage than the flash.
I have some thinking to do before I make a definite purchase.
I am not a Canon user so can’t comment on the full frame compatibility etc.
But generally on the lenses.
Yes, looks like you have thought this out pretty well.
The 100mm macro is a good lens for your flowers and bugs and certainly can be used as a portrait lens
10-22 for landscapes and architectural – yes definitely. not sure about the event photography, depends on the type of event and photography. It is not really suitable as a "people" lens as it is a bit wide.
70-200 2.8 – again, good enough general purpose "longer" lens and I am assuming you want it for the speed as I believe the 55-250 is a 4.5-5.6.
Generally it seems a good enough choice – you have a range there from wide to telephoto with a couple of primes for the middle.
As I say, I don’t and haven’t used Canon for many years so can’t really comment on what those specific lenses are like or the compatibility issues are.
I’d like to redo my place but I am not very familiar with the software out there. I just want to be able to transfer the measurements so I can see the schematics.
Before you purchase software, which there are a number of them to pick from, I’d suggest looking at home furnishing stores online. Often stores that sell furniture will provide free design software that will probably do all you need. I pasted a link from Ikea below as they have something that might work for you. Good luck!
This is for a project and for the life of me, i cannot find out. I can’t ever get access to stock/company health online! Everyone wants me to subscribe and pay. Maybe someone with some extra time and access to the information can help me out 
?
You may want to check out the ENR 500. Hope this is what you were getting at.
