Reddit mentions: The best flash cards

Well, on-camera flash tends to look pretty terrible when it is pointed directly at the subject. (Think deer in headlights) Direction of light matters more than diffusing, but diffusing is useful.

So first, you want to address light direction:

1. Use a hot shoe mounted flash, but angle it upwards so it bounces off the ceiling and comes at your subject at a more natural/attractive angle. If you ever hear "bounce flash", that is really all it means, pointing somewhere to bounce onto the subject. Note that with the A6000 you can actually use its built-in flash and use your finger to point it upwards to achieve bounce. There are also these nifty little plastic things to do bounce. Found here:
   https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LEX4RW4/
   
   
2. Use a flash off-camera flash with a hotshoe mounted transmitter. There are a number of options here.
   
   Once you get the hang of light direction, you can add "modifiers" like diffusers to the front of the flash to soften the light or direct it.
   
   I would experiment with bounce flash first with the built-in flash. Note that bounce flash becomes ineffective in places with high ceilings like hotel lobbies/atriums.
   
   Once you are ready to buy a flash, I recommend the Godox TT865S which supports Sony TTL and HSS for about $119. It can mount in the hotshoe for bouncing at much higher power than the built-in flash. It can also be used as a off-camera triggered flash with the Godox X1T-S transmitter. Both of these can be purchased for about $150 total. You can set the power level or flash compensation on the transmitter and put the flash on a stand or hold it out with your hand, or have a friend/assistant hold it to the side of the model, etc.
   
   Here is a amazon link for the Godox TT685S for $119 and includes a softbox diffuser that optionally covers the front of the flash:
   https://www.amazon.com/Godox-Speedlite-0-1-2-s-Supports-20-200mm/dp/B01DTXB66G
   
   Here is the transmitter for $46:

   Best of luck!!

11.) Something that would have a profound impact on your life and help you to achieve your current goals. I'm a student and I practically live in the library most of the school year. I need a laptop because the computers at school are SO outdated.

Anything made in Oregon. This is a bit of a stretch but bear with me. The Bourne Triology preceeds The Bournce Legacy. Which starred Edward Norton who also starred in Fight Club. A movie based off the book who was written by none other than Chuck Palahniuk who is from Oregon & resides there.

I'll be back to finish this!

Asking mainly for Kaleope and Kevin. Not sure if I can be gifted for Joely so asking for a second opinion. There was someone trying to buy them more, but it didn't go through for some reason. Technical error I guess. So Joely does not have the thomas container (it was marked purchased) and an item it said Kaleope had, a puzzle, she did also not receive. I deleted received items because I thought I was supposed to, but you can check the comments posted and I can send any order #s I have so you can check those if necessary. Just making it clear so you know I didnt lie. I didn't see anything in the rules about not deleting purchased items and I didnt know at first that they came off the list or showed on their own that they were bought. I am mainly worried about Kaleope since she is the oldest and more aware. I would also like to get something for Kevin if possible. Joely has only a couple small wishlist items but he also did get gifted that communication device so Im not sure if I should be gifted any regular toys or anything for him or not. Is the original price important? It was gifted used, but it is very expensive to purchase. If not he only has 3 items even with the device. I dont want anything for myself or Sylar obviously because we have too much as is. I didnt even expect to win the other things. I entered for fun and won. Thank you for this. xo Happy Holidays.

NB: I'm not at all very good at Latin.

My middle school started foreign languages in 6^th grade, and I picked Latin since my brother had chosen French and my parents thought Spanish was too easy. So I did two years in middle school, then I went to secondary school in 8th grade where an ancient (Latin or Greek, but Greek wasn't available to 8^th graders) and a modern language (at the time just French or Spanish) were required. My two years of middle school Latin covered maybe three months of high school Latin I, then it was all new stuff. After two years of Latin (the minimum), I dropped it and picked up Spanish.

I'm good enough to give you a halfway decent motto or tattoo translation, but reading actual ancient authors is tough for me. For interest's sake, I checked out the beginning of De Bello Gallico on Project Gutenberg just now, and I really need to bone up on the little connecting words to even know how the phrases relate to each other. I have a similar problem when reading, say, a French or Spanish newspaper; my vocab is just too limited in all of these languages for me to be any kind of awesome.

What's my advice, then? As for books, I learned from Wheelock. It's pretty good. But I was in a class, and I learn way better when I'm in a structured environment like that, so I have no idea if it's any good for the autodidacts of the world. I highly recommend making a ton of flash cards (the Pacon ones are my favorite) and learning the hell out of the vocab. And when it comes to vocab, I implore you to hammer the itsy-bitsy connecting words. For instance, in the linked Gallic Wars I had to look up the following little guys, all of which should come naturally if I want to read any of this quickly.

• propterea therefore, for that reason; I thought I knew that but I was thinking of "propter", a preposition meaning nearby.
  
• Horum Genitive plural of hic, meaning "this" or these"; I actually thought I knew that, but I had to look it up to be sure.
  
• minime least of all. I only knew this as "no," which I am led to understand wasn't a classical usage of the word.
  
  Those are just the prepositions, adverbs, determiners, connectors, what will have, you that I didn't know in the first sentence of the third paragraph. Getting through this book would be, as you can imagine, a slog for me. So learn them shits if you want to read any classical Latin.
  
  What am I actually good at, then? Since I understand (roughly) how to decline and conjugate nouns and verb (respectively), I can express a sentence reasonably well by getting the vocab I don't have from Wiktionary, where it is conveniently tabulated. Thanks, nerds of the internet.
  
  Spero arbitreris hoc utile—I hope you find this useful. I had to go to Wiktionary thrice in there, and I'm not sure how to deal with deponents^+ . So maybe don't take my advice on translation with deponents.
  
  +Deponents are verbs with a passive form and an active meaning. They can be transitive (take objects), but not all of them do. For instance, "speak" is "loquor," which deponent, and I don't think it's transitive. To say "I speak Latin" you say "I speak latinly"—"loquor Latine."

I took the CA bar this past July and passed. I have a ton of BARBRI books that I didn't send back so I'm still holding on to them. If anyone on here needs any extra practice, I still have all of the books except for the Conviser Mini Review. I also have attack sheets for each CBX subject. Feel free to PM me and I'll send them to you. Some random tips:

1. I'd recommend getting the Critical Pass MBE flash cards. They've added civil procedure to the new edition but you could probably score a good deal on used sets.
   
   
2. Eat healthy and exercise! I snacked a lot during bar prep last summer and I'm still paying for it. You'll feel better if you eat well and take the time to be active. You can always bring your outlines and flash cards to the gym or on walks.
   
   
3. Stay away from other test takers after testing is done each day unless you know the person is chill. Being around other anxiety-riddled test takers sucks and discussing issues on the test will not help you or your results. I went out to eat (and have a drink) with my fiancé after each testing day and it was one of the best things I did.

Free Stuff:

• Use Capture One Express for raw processing; its free.
  
• Use DaVinci Resolve for video editing; its free.
  
• Be able to shoot videos longer than 30 minutes.
  
  Low Cost (Under $30):
  
  
• Have at least one or two spare batteries.
  
• Remote triggers are nice; long range ones are even better.
  
• Mini Tripods are better than no tripod.
  
• Get a hot shoe cover (with a bubble).
  
• Almost always shoot with your lens hood on.
  
• Get the timelapse app.
  
• These flash bounce cards are magic.
  
  Expensive:
  
  
• Shoot RAW and get a big SD card.
  
• The sigma 30mm F/1.4 is almost glued on. I use it a lot.
  
• If looking for a flash checkout Flashpoint and the transmitter (rebranded godox). I have 3 of them.
  
• Flash Bender is a great all around flash modifier; knockoffs work pretty well. If you get a big flash you'll want a modifier.

This is my first year with a kid in school, kindergarten!! aaaahhh!! and my little one is going to baby speech class and he's got a list of supplies to get too! so thanks for thinking of us this time of the year.

These sight word flash cards would really help me keep the learning going when my little one gets home from Kindergarten. but really its this backpack that would make life SO much easier. its neutral colors help with the revolving favorite colors, and my son has a hand-me-down Jr backpack that won't work for his school, but will probably work for my little son's speech class once a week.

LOL the phone light trick does work, you can AF it too if you have adequate light and lock the focus with half push of the shutter button. Honestly the best way is to use the on-camera flash. I also use this nifty diffuser for my A6000. It's useful for indoors ceiling bounce for close-ups and the white one also works to help evenly distribute the light for less shadows. And it's cheap!


http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LEX4RW4?keywords=a6000%20flash%20bounce&qid=1451936770&ref_=sr_1_1&sr=8-1

I have had the A6000 for a couple years now. Love it.

No matter what the camera you own the primary thing to get good exposure in low light situations is a lens designed for it. Don't get me wrong, the camera and it's sensor matters. Just not as much as the lens most times.

For the A6000 your going to want to use a super fast lens. I use either my Rokinon 12mm f2 or the Sony 50mm f1.8. The other advantage is to get some bounce cards and use your flash.

If you don't want to drop the money on a lens, the bounce cards are the cheaper route. If you want to spend the money on a lens, great, you can also afford the bounce cards. Get em.

Outside of that, you can shoot in shutter priority or manual depending on your skill level. The trick is to make sure your aperture is as fast as possible for the lens you are using. This will allow you to lower your ISO and keep your shutter speed as fast as possible as well.

As for the open box previous settings. Go into your settings and do a factory setting reset. From there, do a ton of research about the settings. If you don't understand a setting, leave it alone until you do.

BH photo video does a decent intro video on the A6000.

You can also check out Gary Fong on YouTube who works with the a6000 a lot.

1. Make or buy flashcards similar to these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0046IPFPW/?ref=idea_lv_dp_ov_mw
   
   If you write them out on 3x5 cards yourself you get to practice drawing clefs/staves/notes too. One side should have the note on the staff and the other should say both the note name and the fingering. Practice memorizing them away from your violin. Practice with a friend and give the note name/fingering AND play it on your violin
   
   
2. When you practice scales, say the note name as you play each note. Play scales in the key of the piece you are playing. Using a method book like All for Strings makes this easy
   
   
3. Start writing fewer and fewer fingerings in your music. If a note recurs in a measure or within a few measures, you don't need the fingering for the second/third one! If a phrase repeats, challenge yourself to not write fingerings the second time. Track the music with your eyes as you play to reinforce the association between written note and your muscle memory

I bought this deck of social stories cards to work on pragmatic skills with my patients on the spectrum. They're kid-orientated (e.g. a lot of stuff about school routines) but I just remove those ones when I'm working with the adult part of my caseload. They're pretty large cards and the back has a ton of scripts, pretend scenarios to act out, and comprehension questions.

Other than that most of my patients are responsive to games with "fun aspects" (Photo Fish from Super Duper, and anything with magnetic chips that you use the wand to pick them up), sensory items (bean jar, pushing marbles into TheraPutty, shaving cream), and puzzles of varying degrees of difficulty.

• alphabet puzzle (for later) https://www.amazon.com/Melissa-Doug-Alphabet-Puzzle-Storage/dp/B0009OW3L6/
  
  Look up some Montessori toy lists. Things like stackers, sandpaper letters, etc can all be used when he's a little older

There is a way that you could work with her independently from a speech therapist. The real thing would be far better. Nevertheless, the item and book I am suggesting should help her tremendously. I used myself as a guinea pig, so the Toobaloo has my stamp of approval. Nonetheless, I am having issues with independently teaching myself vowel sounds, as a LD. In the end, she will of course need your help.


So, she can hear vowel sounds better

There is also a teacher edition with more information too. However, I would start with the student. If she starts advancing, then it's time to go with the teacher version.

You will need to watch Youtube videos in order to properly pronounce some of these sounds, so you can deliver the information. However, this is not going to be a constant issue. There is a high probability that you already research things, so do not stress.

Alrighty!

1. Not sure if this would be more linguistics than what you're looking for, but the Appalachian dialect is thought to have evolved from Elizabethan English. Would explain why in literature, the stylized dialogue of 20th/21st century Appalachian characters often times looks very similar to Dickens street people dialogue. We also share some unique verb tenses and slang words with the Northern UK nowadays.
   
   
2. Not sure how young of an age group you work with, but this might be helpful for preschoolers.
   
   
3. When the sunlight strikes raindrops in the air, they act like a prism and form a rainbow. BONUS: You probably use that in your speech therapy to hear how your clients are forming words. It's also used by dialect coaches to train actors.

Since you'll have a range it'll be easiest to have one activity that you can adapt to all of your groups throughout the day - especially since you won't have a room.

Books are perfect for this. Look for short books with a repetitive phrase.

I find that reading a short book (and throwing in WH questions throughout) and doing a group activity takes about half an hour. You could do pretend baking (I just bring in kitchen supplies from home) to work on sequencing and vocabulary. Having a "guess bag" of items from the story (you describe what it is and they guess, and then switch the roles).

Animal puppets are great (IKEA has great ones) because you can incorporate them into a lot of activities. You can grab a chair and everyone can practice prepositions and verbs etc.

For centers I did a lot of categorizing and describing activities. I did it by theme (there are a lot of themed calendars of tpt). I used a lot of laminated and cut out things for that. I put them all into a zipped envelope that stayed together in a binder. I just grabbed the envelope and away I went!

I also love these action cards http://www.amazon.com/Smethport-976-Actions-Language-Cards/dp/B0019VJEHO?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage

They were pretty cheap and I use them all the time.

I haven't used them - but you could look into story felt boards. They usually have them at the conventions. Could be portable and could work on a lot of activities and most of the time they go with a book.

Not exciting my bum! That handle is friggin genius! (Adding to my WL now, thank you kindly.)

Correct. I take low-light music events photos with the flash straight up https://www.flickr.com/photos/heri_quebec/24599344602/in/dateposted-public/ Works great if the ceiling is white

To make it easier you could get one of these bounce gear: http://www.amazon.com/Sony-A6000-Flash-Bounce-Card/dp/B00LEX4RW4/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1454252426&sr=8-5&keywords=sony+a6000+flash

For people that are using the A6000/NEX-6/NEX-7, the way that the flash is designed allows you to pretty easily bounce the flash by just holding it back with your finger so that it points mostly straight up. You can even purchase some cards that will slide into the hotshoe that will hold it up and make this even easier - I don't have these myself but I've heard good things.

I also made the same upgrade you did, and only recently started using this method. I just ordered these from Amazon which I hope will help further :Sony A6000, A6300, A6500 Flash Bounce Cards https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LEX4RW4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_isHwyb4Q7RVRF

The most important thing to realize is that the flash can be directed upwards to bounce off white ceilings and create really nice diffused light pictures

I don't know why most camera manufacturers don't give this ability.

Thanks for contest!

I have these bounce cards which are a nice little tool: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LEX4RW4

Are flash bounce cards ever worth considering when using an A6000? Example: http://www.amazon.com/A6000-A6300-Flash-Bounce-Cards/dp/B00LEX4RW4/ref=sr_1_1?s=photo&ie=UTF8&qid=1463593682&sr=1-1&keywords=sony+a6000+bounce+flash

Have you checked out the flash bounce cards? They're relatively unique to the NEX/a6x line because of the off-center flash design. It holds up the on-camera flash for you, and also acts as a diffuser. I found it very helpful for shooting indoors, especially if there's low ceilings.

You can also use these http://www.amazon.com/A6000-A6300-Flash-Bounce-Cards/dp/B00LEX4RW4?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00

angle the flash upwards or get one of these if you're shooting something close-ish

If you google for blank flash cards you can find all sorts already "cut" in a variety of sizes for low cost (probably not much more then 3x5 index cards)

I would drop sounding out words. It's a hard concept.

We started with sight words. You can get a set of flash cards or just print your own. Go through the flash cards every night. Even if you have to tell her what every word is, just keep repeating. She'll eventually memorize words.

Once she can read words that she's memorized, then go back to sounding out words.

Here are the flash cards we use (now we're on level 2 with my 6yo kindergartner). https://smile.amazon.com/Sight-Words-Level-Pocket-Flash/dp/B001AZ4W5I/
