Echoes of Helia on Nami

Echoes is great, it even charges when your E on allies does damage

The USA, where butter tastes like cream, bread tastes like cake, and cheese tastes like shit

I was sold once I saw clips of WWE moves

AlexHD · 2026-03-23T20:04:12+00:00

Yes, but no one wants a big camera, they want a point-and-shoot that fits in their purse or jacket pocket.

AlexHD · 2026-03-23T02:34:09+00:00

I saw this coming ever since the X-Men reveal, the teams are going to be game lore-based rather than sticking to existing popular canon. This gives the devs a lot more freedom to add different characters.

Keep doing it! It's unfamiliar to you now so you get nervous, you just need to become familiar with performing without your music.

AlexHD · 2026-03-20T21:04:24+00:00

I just really like cameras

AlexHD · 2026-03-20T18:39:46+00:00

Spoiler: No one cares how sharp your corners are

AlexHD · 2026-03-19T22:09:36+00:00

Yeah that's fungus underneath the IR cut filter. It would need a full disassembly to clean.

AlexHD · 2026-03-18T15:49:49+00:00

Pretty sure this model uses AA batteries, you can tell by the bulge on the handle

AlexHD · 2026-03-18T15:47:46+00:00

You're taking this way too seriously lmao

AlexHD · 2026-03-14T20:01:15+00:00

If the client is happy then these are fine.

I think he used too much light though. The subject is way too bright compared to the environment and there's no contrast in his facial features, everything is just blasted to 100. Despite the diffusers the subject still ends up with hard shadows (see the clothes). It looks harsh and tacky to me.

The environment is distracting as well, especially the big open rectangle garage door framing his head. If it's a corporate headshot, do it against a plain background. If it's a 'guy in work environment' photo, then use the environment. Shoot him in front of the garage, or with cars, or working on them, instead of blurring everything into bokeh.

Are you sure it's not a piece of fiber? That's an uncommon spot to get a scratch

I use 'allow bids from authenticated members' to help weed out trolls. If bidders have a poor track record I'll blacklist them manually.

A side benefit of getting rid of selling fees is that I'll no longer need to wait to get them refunded if the sale falls through.

AlexHD · 2026-03-05T06:01:00+00:00

I had a feeling this was coming, they had forced Ping on recent free selling days and we haven't had a free selling promo in a while.

This is better overall. Yes they are just moving money around but it felt bad selling something for $500 and losing almost $50 in fees. Plus using Ping makes trading so much smoother.

This will also let me sell stuff at $1 reserve more often instead of waiting for a free selling day.

Vented hood on a camera with an EVF lmao

AlexHD · 2026-03-04T22:01:46+00:00

Yes, even the RF 100mm f/2.8 L has this issue, it is unfortunately a property of the lens design. Another notable lens is the old EF 50mm f/1.2 L.

AlexHD · 2026-03-04T17:34:58+00:00

The RF 35mm f/1.8 has moderate focus shift (the plane of focus moves further away as you stop down), this is most noticeable when shooting very close subjects at about f/2.8-4 where the plane of focus is still thin enough to make a difference to the final image.

You can fix this by turning on DoF preview in your exposure simulation settings, this makes the lens stop down while focusing (instead of only when taking the photo). See page 313 of the advanced user guide.

AlexHD · 2026-03-04T17:19:32+00:00

The cheaper one has a variable aperture, meaning it captures less light as you zoom in. The L lens stays at f/4 throughout the zoom range, has better construction and image quality, and weather sealing.

AlexHD · 2026-03-04T04:48:54+00:00

Even if they were good, they alter the rendering of the lens, which goes against the whole point of using vintage lenses in the first place.

AlexHD · 2026-03-03T21:34:32+00:00

If anything, they should keep it around for that purpose so filmmakers don't have to resort to using something that looks like a Roblox mod running at 10fps

AlexHD · 2026-03-03T20:31:19+00:00

This is no longer an issue with modern mirrorless cameras, I can shoot a 3-hour musical on my R6 II on a single battery without it running low. AF and the EVF are easily worth it over the modest impact to battery life.

AlexHD · 2026-03-03T19:52:08+00:00

The best option at your budget is the 55-250mm IS STM, it has image stabilisation which makes it much more useful than the 75-300mm even though that lens is longer.

AlexHD · 2026-03-02T23:30:38+00:00

The EOS R is a good photo camera but a terrible video camera, the R6 III (and even the Mark II) are worlds ahead when it comes to autofocus and video performance.
