Where is the most interesting location you have been to shoot video?

I have been to some interesting places. Italy, Greece, Hawaii, Disney World and more. Family gatherings, sporting events, business meetings, classroom training. All interesting in their own way.
But as far as I am concerned, this one wins the prize. It obviously isn't mine, but I can't think of a way to beat this one. James Cameron might give it a run for the money, but I don't know of anyone else who might.

Yes, I understand how you can start out with one story in mind and come home with another.
I wanted to shoot a video of a young couple climbing the pyramid at Chichen Itza. Simple concept. The struggles up and down. Youth and an ancient pyramid.
Well, first I realized that my zoom lens wasn't going to cut it and I ended up following them up and preceding them down. That was tougher than I expected.
Before we started I shot some footage of them telling me their names, spelling them for me, and giving me permission to post the video as part of a contest. After the climb, we chatted and I found out that she was a cancer survivor. Well, let me tell you, after hearing her story, it changed the entire point of the video. Same footage. Different story.
I have always thought that the story of some of the Caribbean countries is pretty sad. Look at the difference between the two sides of Hispaniola. Haiti is pretty brown, the Dominican Republic is reasonably green. I always thought Cuba should be primarily a vacation island, like the Bahamas. Or better yet,  Saint-Martin/Sint Maarten. Happy place with people happy to be there. Or, so it seems to me.
I would hate to see it go back to the pre 1959 corruption, but the idea of casinos and beaches and great weather sure makes for a great travel poster. Besides, it is a lot easier to persist and grow in freedom than in communism.  I am glad to hear that you, and people like you, are able to go. And to interact with like minded church goers. Basically, it is nice to know that they still have their churches, unlike some other communist countries.

  • I can no longer manually select podcast episodes to download. It automatically downloads the most recent. I have been downloading a few episodes at a time due to the limited memory of my Shuffle. Is there a work-around?

    I can no longer manually select podcast episodes to download. It automatically downloads the most recent. I have been downloading a few past episodes at a time due to limited memory of my Shuffle. Is there a work-around for this?

    Similar problem here. My Ical refuses to edit or delete events. Viewing is possible, though sometimes the whole screen turns grey. Adding new events from mail is still possible. The task-pane completely disappeared. My local apple technic-centre messed about with disk utility for a bit and than told me to reinstall leopard. I could of course do that, but it seems to me that reinstalling Leopard just to fix iCal events is a bit invasive.
    I tried also tried removing everything, installing a new copy of iCal from the leopard-cd, software updates, all to no avail.
    At the moment I'm open to all suggestions that do not include a complete leopard reinstall.

  • How do you return to the US store if you have been switched

    I seem to have been switched to the Russian store without realizing it.  I went to make a purchase on my IPad and was given an error message that I had to return to the US store.  How do you return to the US Store?

    Try going to the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app on your iPad and tap on your account id, tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account, and then select the Country/Region section and select the US.

  • You have been disconnected from facetime services

    I can't use FaceTime on my Macbook Pro and I don't know why? It had worked previously before. The error message says: "You have been disconnected from FaceTime Services. An internal error occurred that disconnected you from all FaceTime services. To resume FaceTime, quit and relaunch FaceTime." I try logging on and it fails. I deleted the application and then reinstalled from the App store, but it still doesn't work. Please help me. Thanks.

    I read a few discussion posts and then tried deleting my logins of facetime from the Keychain access. Now I can't even log in. It keeps asking me for the password and not storing it. Please help.
    It says: "FaceTime password: Please enter your login ID and password for my email address. I tried entering a new account for my Apple ID but this didn't help either.

  • Anyone else have the issue where, after the 8,3 upgrade, you cannot access more than 1 exchange account on your iPhone? This is annoying to me as I need to access 4 daily and cannot due to this error.

    Anyone else have the issue where, after the 8,3 upgrade, you cannot access more than 1 exchange account on your iPhone? This is annoying to me as I need to access 4 daily and cannot due to this error.
    The first one, my private home email, works fine. With the other 3, I get the message "Cannot get mail: The connection to the server failed"
    All were working fine before the 8.3 upgrade. I did try the old trick of making one minor change on the account and resaving, but that did not change anything. I even deleted my work account and re-entered it from scratch, but again, sadly, no luck. For the time being, I am successfully getting the email via IMAP, but this ***** compared to exchange. Anyone have any idea what is happening or if a fix is in the works?

    Well, the one set up on exchange 2k3 is now working fine, although no changes were made on either the iPhone or the exchange side, so that's fun, but it still is throwing errors when connecting to the other 2 exchange accounts. The common elements are that both non-functioning exchange accounts are google apps for business accounts. So is one of the ones that's working, by the way. The settings on both accounts are the same as the one that's working, and both worked fine before the 8.3 upgrade. I have no issue accessing both of these accounts on my ipad which is currently on 8.2.x. If it's not the iphone OS at fault, I'm at a loss as to what it could be.

    I have purchased Lightroom 5 and had it installed but I had to replace my matchbook pro and now I can't find the activation key - is there a way I can get it emailed to me or how do I find it? Most other plugin's email out the activation key so you have a copy but I have seen no way to get it.

    If you registered your Lightroom with Adobe after you installed it, you can log into your Adobe account and get your serial number from your account.

  • Where are the MetaData Templates located in PS C6 on a Mac?

    Where are the MetaData Templates located in PS C6 on a Mac that you can add your contact and copyright information to?
    On a Windows machine they are located in Owner/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/XMP.  I have some templates that I want to copy from a Windows laptop over to a Macbook Pro.
    Thanks, Bill

    I’m on Mac OS 10.6.8 and there it seems to be
    ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/XMP/Metadata Templates
    I think as of OS 10.7 Macintosh hides the Library, but one can get there by alt-clicking the Go-menu and selecting it from there … or something.

  • Where is the printer head located on the MP600?

    Where is the printer head located on the Canon MP600 and how do I remove it?  I have had my printer for over 7 years with absolutely no problems!  Then, yesterday, after I replaced an ink cartridge, it would not print at all -- keep getting the message "Wrong Printer Head - Replace Printer Head" - I removed all the cartridges and re-inserted them, but that did no good.  One suggestion I found on-line said to remove the printer head and re-install it -- Where is it located???

    Hi mjomeara,
    To reseat the print head in the unit, please follow the steps located here.  Once the print head is reseated, please turn off the printer, unplug the power cord and leave it out for at least 10 minutes, then plug it back in and turn the printer back on.  If you still receive the print head error, the printer will require servicing.  Please call or email us using one of the methods on the Contact Us page for further assistance.

A couple of hours ago I renamed the file and then reopened my file a little while later, but the most recent work wasn't saved even though I'm sure I saved it before closing. What can I do? Also, when I have tried to email it to myself as a backup, the fields aren't populated when I open it up. Fyi, I have the free subscription.

    Just a comment that the playlist size only shows in List View (not Grid or Artist view).

    For some peculiar reason this option does not show up for me (11.0.1).  I do see the "status bar" (i.e. size) of playlists at the bottom of each, and I know that I've seen this setting, but this View option seems to have vanished!
