  • @aDemiurge You're wrong, it's the other way around.

  • Surely, the smaller the aperture, the shallower the depth of field. The larger, the deeper. Am I wrong?

  • Thank you, that was Lovely

  • Wow what was pretty cool and easy to understand. Kudos!

  • I love you !

  • Can you post a video on F-stops for bolex cameras, that would be great!

  • An actual STARGATE/PORTAL-THING was caught on film in New Mexico. The footage can be found within the short-film entitled "SUDDEN PORTHOLE", which is parked at the PROJECT CAMELOT YouTube page (it's under the George Noory video).

    I'm not selling anything…I'm just trying to spread the word about the unseen-dimensions we find ourselves embedded in.

    My BLOG contains peripheral data regarding the movie and is where I reply to the "debunkers" (use search words "SAM ZURICK" & "BLOG"). THANKS!!

  • Also I'm commenting on a video, if you put up a video you should get your facts straight. I didn't criticize her grammar. Also aperture can be measured by width or area. So right back at you pal.

  • @itierney I know this is old but do you realize that you criticize her "grammer" and you misspelled 2 words in your statement? "Grammer"? "Focul"? Aperture is not the width of the hole, it's its area, so please get off criticizing her.

  • i came here thinking of portals
