Hey all you photographers out there. Me and Tammy just went out and got a Sony A33 DSLR. I have been reading on this thing, watching various lessons on youtube and playing with the camera for hours. I think I need to take a class. I am figuring out setting a custom white balance, setting...

Wondering if somebody could help me out. I am looking to replace both fans in my light fixture. One is really noisy at start-up as well as when the other fan turns off. One sucks air into the fixture while the other pushes air out. I want to replace them both, but I want them quiet. Having...
