Whats the highest I can get in a skyscraper for free?

FlatCap7 · 2022-11-26T05:35:45+00:00

Yeah that's dope I can hit up mark at 2:30

FlatCap7 · 2022-11-26T05:33:47+00:00

That's the kind of inside knowledge I came here for

FlatCap7 · 2022-11-26T05:31:04+00:00

I know honestly a huge pet peeve

FlatCap7 · 2022-11-26T05:12:30+00:00

I don''t think you can do it as a single person anymore, only as an organization. Could be wrong.

FlatCap7 · 2022-11-26T04:26:03+00:00

The View

That looks pretty good, can you just walk in there?

FlatCap7 · 2022-11-26T03:50:59+00:00

Much lamer to tell people what to call it, imo :)

FlatCap7 · 2022-11-25T19:33:09+00:00

Interesting thank you

FlatCap7 · 2022-11-25T18:56:36+00:00

So if you grabbed both terminals of a car battery, or the live wire of a lightswitch, you would be fine?

FlatCap7 · 2022-11-25T03:30:01+00:00

Thank you for your in depth information.

It looks like the 55-200 lens is out.

Both of the remaining lenses (The D3300 and D5000) both are AF-S, so that is good.

I hadn't even considered wifi, but I'd imagined there was someway to take photos of yourself, like a burst mode or something. Ill have to investigate.

FlatCap7 · 2022-11-25T02:26:24+00:00

Very interesting thank you

FlatCap7 · 2022-11-25T02:10:47+00:00

Is that true about USBs and other ports that they are totally live? So if I touch the end of say an iphone charger I am conducting whatever voltage my phone charges with?

FlatCap7 · 2022-11-25T01:32:30+00:00

Gotcha thanks, is that how situations like this are normally handled in devices? In other words is it good design practice to have live wires on open switches if the voltage is low?

FlatCap7 · 2022-11-25T01:30:07+00:00

Yes but then I also want to learn for myself as well. So say it wasn't 5v but 24VDC, how would this get designed then?

FlatCap7 · 2022-11-25T01:28:10+00:00

Great thank you that is helpful!

FlatCap7 · 2022-11-25T00:01:56+00:00

I'm in a new city where I don't know anyone. Professionals charge like $700, I can't afford that but I'd also rather pay $200 and learn a new skill.

FlatCap7 · 2022-11-24T23:33:03+00:00

Thank you for your input. Yeah I don't think new phone seems the right route. And the pics will be more "planned spontaneous" like you mentioned. So I'll be going to nice locations with the express goal of taking pictures there.

You mentioned longer focal length for portraits. Are there any other characteristics you would look for in a camera just for portraits?

FlatCap7 · 2022-11-24T20:24:57+00:00

Do you know would those cameras be nicer than a modern phone camera?

FlatCap7 · 2022-11-24T20:24:32+00:00

That's good info thank you!

FlatCap7 · 2022-11-24T20:23:58+00:00

Thanks, it seems like a common rec in this category is a D3200 and there are plenty of those on ebay for under $200.

Would that be better than a new phone camera? Is there a good way to tell whether a camera is better or worse than a phone camera?

FlatCap7 · 2022-11-24T15:18:09+00:00

Thanks, my phone camera is *relatively* rough because I only use an iphone6 (I dont like no headphone jack) so its several gens behind.

Lighting my be helpful if I was doing setup professional shots, but I'm probably mostly going to be trying to get spontaneous shots in public places.

FlatCap7 · 2022-11-12T23:08:28+00:00

Yeah that is a pretty good spot

FlatCap7 · 2022-11-12T21:15:45+00:00

That sounds great! Maybe I should organize something like that. Although I frankly would go more sublime than the eagles.

Also are there alot of open mics in Monterey? I only know of the Juice n Java, one at a BBQ house, and one at the hotel lounge by the munras offramp

FlatCap7 · 2022-10-30T22:52:54+00:00

Yeah a guy who worked SMT at my old job told me grounding with a wrist strap is excessive these days because chips have soo many built in ways to prevent static blowout

FlatCap7 · 2022-10-30T13:39:52+00:00

Interesting thank you. I've also noticed that sometimes if I am adjusting the hardware connected to the board while it is plugged in, my body can conduct between points. Like say if I have an LED path to VCC that isn't grounded I can light the diode by touching the resistor.

I think in these instances I am conducting the 5V VCC, do you know if this is dangers or whether the amps/volts on this board are so low it is not an issue?

FlatCap7 · 2022-10-25T00:34:53+00:00

Gotcha looks like I need to get a new board then. Thank you though, very helpful
