- iPad escapado de la cárcel o el fanatismo de los españoles con el idioma 15/05/2010En este video toco dos temas, uno el de los españoles y su obsesión por decir todo como si hubiese sido pensado en castellano cuando la triste verdad es que muy poco se inventa en castellano. El otro es el del iPad mismo y como se saca de la cárcel y las cosas que se pueden hacer con el una vez escapado. El primer tema es para todos los que nos apena ver al […]MartinVarsavsky.net

- Linux users twice as generous as Windows users 07/05/2010Crunching the numbers on the pay-what-you-like Humble Indie Bundle package, the Wolfire people noticed a curious thing: Linux users contribute twice as much as Windows users. "So far, the average Mac user is donating 40% more, and the average Linux user is donating 100% more!" I've got a half-formed theory in my head that living in a world whe […]Cory Doctorow

que tal alejandro soy el numero 10 de florida y tambien soy fotografo, queria felicitarte por tu trabajo, si bien no usaste un flash para apoyarte lograste un clima interesante en las fotos, y si, che pongan un poco mas de luz en la cancha q si no es imposible, tenes suerte de tener un f1.8!!!!! yo tengo un 70-200 L 2.8 pero creo que ni con mi tele podria exponer bien con estas condiciones!!!!!!
un saludo!
Marcelo: Muchas gracias por los elogios! Sobre todo, viniendo de alguien que entiende del tema.
Un 50 1.8 es la mejor inversión que podés hacer para sacar fotos en condiciones de iluminación paupérrimas. Buscá algún chino en eBay y lo conseguís nuevo más barato de lo que cuesta comprarlo usado acá. El 70-200 2.8 es genial (no lo tengo, pero me hubiera encantado sacar fotos de minibasquet ayer con uno…. me tengo que conformar con mi 75-300) pero en las penumbras del gimnasio no te va a servir de mucho. Calculá que mi seteo el jueves era 1.8, 1/320 (lo mínimo para congelar movimiento en básquet de adultos, según mi experiencia), ISO 1600 y aún así subexpuse MUCHAS fotos. Creo que si pudiera elegir, usaría un 85 1.8.
Flash no uso porque es un perfecto chivo expiatorio. De ahí que en estadios del primer mundo estén ubicados en el techo disparados por radio. Además tendría que conseguir un reflector, porque conseguir una superficie para rebotarlo es imposible.
De nuevo, gracias por los elogios! Saludos!
