This is an article against DNG, I liked it because it clearly goes through what the pros are of DNG but then goes on to say why they still don't like it. They feel that it is weird to throw away the raw files, and while they understand why and are not purely against DNG, they still prefer not to use it.

Converting it to a DNG will make your file universal and smaller in size. It is worth converting to make your work flow a lot easier.

To DNG is the answer. It slightly shrinks the raw file with ought loosing too much data so it is smarter to. Also, converts it from proprietary to a universal which i incredibly useful. DNGs also can be opened with any program which makes them an overall great file format.  

this is a really good article on the pros of converting to DNG after reading a couple of other websites about the pros and cons of converting to DNG i decided that i was pro and i think that this artical sums up the pros in a pretty simple and easy to understand way.

I think that this article agrees with the process of converting your photos to DNGs. I highlighted main points made by the author, but basically he listed many reasons why we should convert our photos to DNGs. One of the reasons I think would be the main reason I would convert my photos would be because I could would be able to open my photos in a lot of different softwares, not just Adobe softwares. It would be brilliant if camera manufacturers could use DNG instead of the RAW format. #proDNG

The benefits of DNG makes me personally want to change my work flow. DNG is universal, smaller in size, and is adjustable like an ordinary raw file. Unlike Canon, Sony, and Nikons proprietary RAW formats. DNG is universal and I've seen it used for video and photo. Id make the switch.

Our world is saturated in color, from soft hues to violent stains. How does something so intangible pack such a visceral punch? This hour, in the name of science and poetry, Jad and Robert tear the rainbow to pieces. Podcasts More To what extent is color a physical thing in the physical world, and to what extent is it created in our minds? We start with Sir Isaac Newton. Then, we meet a sea creature that sees a rainbow way beyond anything humans can experience, and we track down a woman who we're pretty sure can see thousands (maybe even millions) more colors than the rest of us. And we end with an age-old question, that, it turns out, never even occurred to most humans until very recently: why is the sky blue?

I like how the camera was positioned on some of the photos

The well known musician, Paul McCartney, made some very nice visual art paintings. Color seems to be a big part of his work. The colors give you a feel as to the emotion attached to it.

I find it very interesting that such a talented singer is also such a talented artist. The way he uses colors to express the emotions shows a lot about his artistic style.

i like the different colors he used to make the design

From Nike's "swoosh" symbol, to Starbucks' mermaid, firms take great care of their logos, but how much do they really contribute to a company's success?

One of the most beautiful poets ever. This poem is about bullied children. when i listen to his words and the music in the background i picture images of what his poetry is portraying.

I liked this video because it was funny but at the same time extremely serious. He had very interesting stories that kept my attention.

I saw this a few years ago, outstanding. I especially love the part about the homework revenge. I am not certain how this relates to the original question. Yes indeed, I picture many of the scenarios he describes, he is a good storyteller. Most kids I know who are bullies have been bullied. Does that mean we should excuse the way they treat other people? I don't know many people who weren't mercilessly picked on as children for some short-coming. It seems to me everyone should just be kind to each other, even if they don't know them-- or even if they are teachers. :-)

wayne martin belger makes sculptural pinhole cameras that are each designed to be conceptually & aesthetically related to the project for which he will be using them

awesome video showing how even very young children can offer feedback and improve their work to make it better if they know how to use the process of  critique

Americans have played baseball almost as long as they have been Americans. Lewis and Clark played catch during their trek to the Pacific, and men organized the first game just outside of Brooklyn as congress debated a fugitive slave law. The game quickly grabbed the nation, and game scores dotted newspapers beside news of Sherman's march through Georgia. This article talks about the history and myths of baseball throughout history.

This is a great article. If you read it, you would have a new perspective on baseball. I challenge you to earn 25 bonus points on this assignment by reading this article and sharing it with the class. You MUST tell us what stood out to YOU and if this article changed your original opinion of baseball.
