            I'm an amateur (idiot) at taking pictures.  Which is why I bought a canon T2i. My question is, is it the macro lens that enables some of u to take such amazing close ups?  Or is it my inability to work it correctly why I can't get a good shot?

              If you do not have a Macro, that would certainly help.  I'd pop into a local dealer with your camera body and ask to try a few macro lenses out…

                      i think that only I can answer this 😛 well i actually just use my 50mm 1.8 and for super macros, i use the "super macro" option of my olympus digicam!…

                        Why have the Aero/IH collabs disappeared from the site?? 😞

                        @Giles:

                        Wil@Aero has left Aero.  The new management see no value in an association with Iron Heart.  I am trying to sort stuff out…..

                        thast sad but ma jacket will be more valuable in the future 😛

                          i think IH must be made their own leather jackets
                          IH is a Motorcycle brand….with Will in the Team they have THE MAN...he knows the busisness and have the connetctions to horwenn in chicago.
                          to found a crew in japan they be able to made this jackets are nit the problem too;-)
                          the thing is in my opinion they must be use the horween horsehide!
                          i saw FH leather jackets @ DC4 ....they cost 2000€ but they dont comparable to AERO leather jacket!!!

                              I have a perverse need to buy this thing:

                              http://shop.vtarmynavy.com/bridge-coats–-overstock-p8190.aspx

                              But I have problems finding someone that ships to Europe. Any of you lovely yanks want to proxy it for me? I can pay in beer, leather goods or good old fashioned american dollars.

                              Seize the day and don't you cry.

                                I need a little coaching on bar etiquette from our American friends. The only places I have really been hardcore drinking in the U.S are once in the Greenwich/ SoHo area of NY when I was too drunk to really know what was happening, and likewise on Sunset Strip in L.A.

                                In England the process of buying alcohol in a bar is ridiculously simple, you pay the bar tender for the alcohol you have ordered….and that's it. I seem to recall uncomfortable moments for me in the US, where I have ordered booze and have not been too sure whether to tip for each drink, or even pay drink by drink or pay all together at the end, or some other variation.

                                In short, when I want a beer in a bar in NYC, what is the process?

                                Made in England, clothed in Japan, fed in America and drunk in Belgium !

                                  If you're walking up to the bar and then walking away to get to your friends, I usually tip heavy for the first one (100% of the cost of the drink), and then leave a buck or two for every subsequent drink. This guarantees that the bartender will be attentive to you for the rest of your stay

                                  If I'm sitting at the bar and I know that I'm going to be there for awhile, I'll leave a massive initial tip and then not tip for the next couple

                                  I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

                                    Hi guys! I don't smoke but want to try out a cigar. What brand would you recommend to someone who doesn't smoke but wants to test the "flavours" of a Cuban cigar? I'm willing to pay ca. 20 € (25$) per cigar but only want to buy two pieces max.

                                    Any help is appreciated 🙂

                                    Alex1976 if you read this:
                                    Welche Zigarre würdest du einem Einsteiger empfehlen, der den Geschmack einer kubanischen Zigarre entdecken will und bereit ist ca. 20€ pro Stück zu investieren? Will nur zwei kaufen. Jede Hilfe ist willkommen 🙂

                                    Thanks!

                                      Bin nicht Alex, aber eine Cohiba ist immer eine gute Wahl. Ich würde ne Siglo III (ca. 17,00 €) nehmen. Die ist für nen Anfänger gut geeignet und nicht zu schwer.

                                      Go for a Cohiba Siglo III. It's not to big and to heavy in taste for an am. It's about 17,00 €.

                                        Thanks for the input Jordan23. My first cigar will be a Cohiba Siglo III. What would be your second recommendation?

                                          You can also have the option to run a tab.  The bartender will usually take a credit card from you and then give you a total at the end of the night.  You can add your tip in at that point.  This works well if you're planning to stay and drink for a while, order food, etc.  Otherwise, Doug's advice is pretty much dead on for how I operate at a bar.

                                            Romeo y Julieta Petit Coronas is a decent cigar.  Once you are ready to branch out, you can try different sizes (e.g. churchill / double corona / robusto) and leaves (e.g. maduro).  You will need plenty of time to fully enjoy a cigar.  Relax and try to have at least an hour or two.  Sit down in your favourite chair with a glass of cognac/scotch/port/beer.  These drinks will bring out the unique flavours of the cigar.  Enjoy!
