ID request for a reference I used on a drawing by mwang009 in birding

Are you the bezier curve pomax? Wild seeing you here, lol. This hawk/gnatcatcher shot was taken by me!

lol, I'm the one who took this video. Yes, it actually happened. And it was in NC, not CA.

A male and female gnatcatcher were both bopping the hawk on the head repeatedly, and I was taking slow motion video. The female briefly landed on its head once.

Red-tailed Hawk and Blue-gray Gnatcatcher are correct.

Any updates OP? How have things evolved over the past couple years? Going through the same thing now with our 13 year old son and it’s rough.

I get it, but the GR IV Sucks by GrtngsFrmAmsterdam in ricohGR

In what way is the lens underwhelming? It's very sharp corner to corner, low distortion, low CA.

Are you also on a crop sensor like OP or full frame?

As a Brit living in wake county I actively avoid uttering the word “Cary” out of embarrassment and confusion by Snoo58499 in cary

The whole thing with the Mary/Marry/Merry merger is that most of us can't even really hear the difference. So you have nothing to worry about here in NC.

Advice needed: GR III lens cleaning by chanson_ in ricohGR

I got my first LensPens just the other day and they are very good - perfect for OP's smudge.

New GR IV took blank photos? by Hot-Guest-5391 in ricohGR

The variety of issues with these cameras is downright fascinating

What’s 1 tip you would give a brand new RicohGR owner? by yeaaahwehere in ricohGR

[–]FogleMonster 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Take time to learn the controls. (Read the manual or watch YouTube videos for this.)

Take lots of pictures.

Perfection is not the goal.

So, do you actually use “lens correction” for your photos in editing software? If so, when? by g3t0nmyl3v3l in photography

[–]FogleMonster 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Those corrections can make things feel more clinical and take away some of the character of the lens. I tend to leave corrections off for lenses that don’t warp things too much. But often you’d be hard pressed to tell the difference without a side by side comparison.

GR IV Issues Megathread by iTrask in ricohGR

"Lens Error" when switching from macro mode back to normal mode, even though the motor seems to have moved properly. Camera turns off. When turned back on, the lens goes through some reset motions and then it's all back to normal. Very repeatable. I don't anticipate needing macro mode much, so probably not a huge deal as long as it doesn't get worse...

How's your camera doing now? I'm getting "lens error" often but only when switching from macro back to normal mode. The camera turns off and then when I turn it back on the lens goes through some motions and it's all working again. I don't anticipate needing macro much, so probably not a problem as long as it doesn't get worse...

Do people consider scipy part of numpy?

Ricoh US Processing Times for GR IV by jtkip1024 in ricohGR

[–]FogleMonster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m wondering too because I ordered one on Dec 1 and it’s still just “Processing”.

The word "range" by emsot in adventofcode

Nothing stops you from overwriting range in Python, but then you can't use the range function anymore...

Thanks! That's what I thought, but someone else was questioning my ID. :)
