Thanks, it was an interesting experience. I need to design a device to hold the rose, I put it into a tall glass turn moved the camera on a tripod to get the distance right. Also trying to focus with such limited contrast difference wasn't easy. Luckily the camera has a way to highlight what is in focus when using manual, but that wasn't really working well because the rose would still move around.

Think Before You Donate

One of the problems with these ratings, I believe, is the subtract the cost of raising funds from the funds before they are then added to the budget. So the administrative costs do not include the costs of funds raising.

What to do on a rainy, miserable day other than watch the Giants and Jets find ways to Lose

These roses I bout the other day are gorgeous, they looked someone translucent, so today I decided to experiment with transmitting light from a flash through them. I used a long cord between camera and flash, so I could try different distances and directions. Used manual focusing and settings and fooled with all of those. PP With PS Elements and Topaz Photo AI. These are the best of the results.

Think Before You Donate

Years ago i ran a NGO as part of a university program. Our total operating budget was then $4 million and we were always comming really close to not meeting our expense needs. We looked into a fundraising company. One of those that are involved in telephone solicitations. After we looked over the proposal of three such companies, we said no thanks. They assured us wevwouldvraisebtens of thousands of dollars a year, but their cost and profit, aka their cut was over 80%. We tell such solicitors when they call, if we even answer the call, that we never donate over the phone.

the United Way is a total outlier, it is locally run. In NJ there are multiple United Ways, when you donate, you have no idea to which you are donating!
