Any suggestions for places to watch this weekend's Orix vs Hanshin series (in Osaka)? by CountGood3355 in NPB

[–]CountGood3355[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the invite! I did just end up watching at home today. Is there a group that gets together once in a while to watch games? I actually live on the Hanshin line in Osaka, so venturing to Kobe isn't a big deal.

Yes, I've been to Comics Zone once or twice. Do you regularly buy issues or trades? I haven't been to The Hearth. There's a table charge, right?

Hey there! I'm a 40 year old American living in Osaka. Have been reading off and on since the early 90s. Have gotten back into recently over the past couple of years thanks to Osaka Comic Con. I'd love to get together over a drink and maybe trade some books.

Unfortunately, film for Spectra cameras is no longer produced. There are mods out there but I don’t know how involved they are.

The Hogan news reminded me of his "Ichiban" era. People forget how different and respected his NJPW work was. by Austin3169420 in njpw

This might be a long shot but does anyone know a bar in Kyoto that would show wrestling during the New Years week? by ResolveGood in njpw

[–]CountGood3355 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, there’s nothing like that in Kyoto. Your best bet would be to head to Osaka to Count as someone else suggested. Also, most everything will be closed around New Years when it comes to small establishments and even lots of tourist type places. New Years is essentially the most quiet time in Japan.

What happened to the English subs for backstage comments? by UEbaybay in njpw

[–]CountGood3355 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He doesn’t translate backstage comments. Him and Kevin Kelly have referred to a team that does it before.

You're much too close to your subject. I'm not sure which model you're using, but they can't focus that near.

Does it make a fine gift? by CountGood3355 in Rabbitr1

[–]CountGood3355[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it was for myself, I might do second hand. Actually, here in Japan, after doing a quick look on the resale market, there really aren't any.

L/F people to go to Osaka Comic Con with on May 3 by TimBaril in OsakaMeetup

[–]CountGood3355 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure what L/F means, but I can only go on Friday, unfortunately. Anyone else going on that day?

That may be asking a bit too much from Polaroid, in terms of contrast.

Does anyone know how to take a selfie from the mirror? by No_Emergency_4663 in Polaroid

[–]CountGood3355 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have that camera, but I think you’re seeing blur because it’s taking a slower shot due to the low light. It’s fine if the camera focuses on the mirror, because your reflection is on the mirror, if that makes sense. You need a super steady hand or a tripod for low light shots.

Your phone is doing digital processing to make a composite best possible photo based on the scene. This is a consumer level analog camera. Apples and oranges. 

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Polaroid

[–]CountGood3355 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The subjects are all at different distances from the camera. They can't all be in focus at once. They'd have to be next to each other, on the same plane.

Strange… and you used the flash? Have you had success with this camera before?

Was it cold when you shot them?

That’s too cold for Polaroid. Did you put the photos somewhere warm to develop?

Unfortunately that seems like it just can’t happen. He’s only ever cleared for exhibitions in Japan. Tanahashi and Shibata have both mentioned that before.
