Speaking of digital photography, my new camera has a cool sweep panorama function. But what can you do with those images? -- nm - psilotum Oct 29, 20:19 10
- there are two kinds of pano functions, the fake one that just cuts the the top and bottom off your normal frame and a software based one that stitches - No Geist before its Zeit Oct 29, 20:31 5
  - In this case, you slowly rotate the camera either 180 or 360 degrees, and it "stitches" in-camera. - psilotum Oct 29, 20:36 1
    - *boggles* -- nm - No Geist before its Zeit Oct 29, 20:41

  - you're supposed to file in any case, however it's quite possible that you could get away with it if you didn't - zork Oct 29, 18:34 1
    - Correct. I filed even though I was paying taxes in the UK. I owed nothing to the IRS because of taxes paid. -- nm - loosilu Oct 29, 18:57

  - So the IRS owed you? -- nm - Dano Oct 29, 18:30 1

- I've never paid US tax on any money earned in Canada - zork Oct 29, 18:26 10

        I *am* a US citizen. No need to make a claim. I applied for a SS number back in the nineties ... - zork Oct 29, 18:40 3
        
        I think you're supposed to be filing taxes. -- nm - loosilu Oct 29, 18:41 2
        
        perhaps, but I'm not going to worry about it. -- nm - zork Oct 29, 18:42 1
        
        You might want to. The IRS is really starting to crack down on people like you. - spamlet (iPhone) Oct 29, 19:18

  - There's nothing quite like using real film. -- nm - Qale Oct 29, 16:58 10
    - These are digital. I upload to the Costco photo department and they're printed by the time I walk down there. -- nm - MojaveMeg Oct 29, 17:00 9
      - Ah well, my point does still remain however! :P -- nm - Qale Oct 29, 17:02 8
        
        Oh, I completely agree. I no longer take 'photographs,' I take 'snapshots. It's a very lazy method. -- nm - MojaveMeg Oct 29, 17:06 7
        
        I remember when I used film, I was so much pickier about setting up shots. -- nm - loosilu Oct 29, 17:08 6

        I like at conventions I can whip out my camera and take shots while most are fittling with their digital settings. -- nm - Qale Oct 29, 17:14 4
        
        Hmmm, I think my old camera and my digital camera take about equal amounts of fiddling. -- nm - loosilu Oct 29, 17:20 3
        
        I must have been trained in the Paparazzi Style of Photoging. -- nm - Qale Oct 29, 17:20 2
        
        it was rule to put the camera away at a typical/standard for you settings so when something was happening you could set up faster - No Geist before its Zeit Oct 29, 18:20
        
        maybe your friends are just fiddlers! -- nm - loosilu Oct 29, 17:21
