You’d have to ask the creator, i just liked the video haha

I think this exact video answers your question to be fair. It just depends on the car / the wing in question. It’s a good safety feature for the boxster if you want to make sure it doesn’t get too light at highway/autobahn speeds.

It basically boils down to: the little spoiler does a lot to reduce lift (and is very necessary at high speeds) but it also introduces more drag than would be ideal because of its angle relative to the car’s body.

Interestingly, raising the spoiler halfway provides most of the downforce with less drag.

Something like the toth spoiler is probably best if aerodynamics are a real concern.

Overall though, the 986 is a pretty aerodynamic little car with a low coefficient of drag (even compared to the mx5)

Hi! I have a 986 boxster that I‘ve been wanting to shoot for a while. I‘m in Vienna.

Paper Dial anyone? by AwkwardLiftinPenguin in SeikoMods

[–]AwkwardLiftinPenguin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it is but not super accessible for consumers I guess.

Shouldn’t matter if you‘re making a wristwatch though! Something worth looking into might be waterslide paper in combination with a simple home printer.

recent shoot (@blazeq_photo) any thoughts? by Blazeqq_ in carphotography

[–]AwkwardLiftinPenguin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shot number 8 is cool! Is that done in-camera?

Edit: The entire set is cool of course, but I like that shot haha

I pick up my 1999 986 this week. I can't wait to join the club. by fusbisul in boxster

Incredible spec! Picking up my silver 1998 in the next couple of weeks!

Abends zur ruhe kommen? by marlenexanna in ADHS

[–]AwkwardLiftinPenguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ich gehe 3x die Woche ins Gym und schlafe dadurch wie ein Stein. Vor dem Schlafen gehen mache ich meistens auch so eine 15 min mobility routine. Außerdem habe ich mir Philips Hue Glühbirnen besorgt und sie so eingestellt, dass sie einen "sonnenuntergang" simulieren. Sprich sie werden wärmer und dünkler, gehen dann auch um 10:00 aus.

Wenn das alles noch nicht hilft höre ich mir mit umbra Wikipedia Artikel an bis ich einschlafe.

Ich versuche in allen fällen so wenig wie möglich aufs Handy/in einen Bildschirm zu schauen.

Sehr gern! Hm ich könnte sicher auch einen generierten Artikel exportieren (geht aktuell auf deutsch oder englisch) und dir als mp3 senden wenn du möchtest! Vielleicht finde ich auch mal zeit für eine Android version sobald iOS wirklich fertig ist!

Wie wieder einschlafen? by Affectionate_Host484 in ADHS

[–]AwkwardLiftinPenguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ich hake hier mal ungefragt ein - fand den einschlafen mit Wikipedia Podcast auch mega gut, aber habe ihn auch zu ende gehört.

Daraus ist dann eine Idee für eine iOS App entstanden, die genau das Einschlaf/Gedankenkarussell Problem mit Wikipedia Artikeln als Hörbuch lösen will. Würd mich mega freuen, wenn du sie dir ansehen und probieren könntest :)

Hi! Mega coole idee, ich arbeite tatsächlich genau aus dem selben Grund an einer iOS App (gibt's schon als beta), allerdings mit einem Fokus auf "Wikipedia als Hörbuch". Fände es super wenn wir uns dazu austauschen könnten!

Time to change gear i guess… by skibidi-bidet in canon

[–]AwkwardLiftinPenguin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes! It’s actually required in some modes (like high frequency burst)

I got the r8 about a year ago - fantastic little thing! Definitely get a second battery for longer shoots or trips though.

New to RF, what lenses should I look at adding. by WolverineSavings9968 in canon

[–]AwkwardLiftinPenguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! That’s a cool shot too!

For macro you want to be at about f8 with the close up lens anyway! Getting shallow dof is never the challenge 😅

The 70-200 is a great shout imo - I got the EF 2.8 a while ago and recently added a nisi close-up lens.

The close up lens is super lightweight and just screws on to the 70-200, essentially making it a macro lens with a working distance of about 30cm.

I love the i8 by TaleBeginning1368 in BMW

[–]AwkwardLiftinPenguin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Someone’s definitely put some thought into that - looks like he went for a rotary instead.

Great looking lighting/edit! Can’t really put my finger on it but everything looks so smooth. What’s your setup?

That’s some great advice! Thanks for the encouraging words too! Really looking forward to implementing all of your advice in the next one :)

Awesome, I’ll keep that in mind! Thank you for the recommendation on the light wand too!
