What can a tripod do for you?

Depth of field!
Exposure for the image on the left: 1/30" and not much depth of field at f/5.
Exposure for the image on the right: 1.3" and lots of depth of field at f/29!

This is my late father-in-law's Keufel & Esser slide rule, previously posted http://365project.org/rhoing/365/2011-02-10

I remember when “smart quotes” was an innovation with MS Word. Now we've gone too far: some fonts and applications assume you want [real] double-quotes when you hit the " key. In the cases of length measurements in inches and time measurements in seconds, I don't *want* the closing-double-quote, ”; I want ", thank you very much. For editing this image, I had to give up because my keyboard is failing and I need to replace this box. (To give you an idea of how old it it, it came with Vista as its OS.)
