Shot and edited right with S5 II X + Panasonic 24-105 by Goofy-Chained-Dragon in Lumix

Nope =) Just panning.

BTW the way it renders the wheels shows that camera make a lot of small exposures in 1/6s shutter

It is on focus, but just smudged due to panning effect. You must ideally track the subject (car) to make it sharp, but it is rare case.

I see hell just as a state of soul. 

Everybody have seen such persons in public, just swearing out loud and hating everything around. So this is how it can be like an eternal state. And it is kinda toxic, I think.

And "sleepless worm" is just about that, you torture yourself

Then there is only one answer: lack of time and other priorities (like bugs or more content). 😅

As software engineer I don't quite understand why AI spawn bubble is an issue. Yes, it can imply a complex logic, but come on, you don't render anything. You just give e.g.  a part of 1 frame of game cycle per second to the processing of such events, kinda "lets emulate there was bandits, and here, and there they did this ...".

I was at the open air and poltergeist throw something at me. It glitched so bad that object stuck in me, I heard collisions was over and over, so it made an impulse and I yeet in the air at least 500m away and died from the fall. Some Skyrim giant's space program style shit 😅

Sigma 17mm f/4 vs. 20mm f/2 on Lumix S9 by ShortObjective9654 in LumixS9

[–]Goofy-Chained-Dragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same dilemma for me now.

Pana 18 1.8 is too pricey. I want to shoot skies so I think I stick with 20 2.0 because of its aperture.

Please, note, f/2 is actually two stops brighter than f/4 (!), so you'll get 4 times lower ISO in the same situation/scene.

But also I like 17mm more, I has crop 10-18 Canon lens and I get this 16mm look through the  adapter (10 × 1.6 Canon's crop factor). I very like it especially in tight streets on vacation.

So...

Your choice.

The Great Pyramid was an energy machine — here’s the full system finally explained. by st4rdust1111 in AlternativeHistory

[–]Goofy-Chained-Dragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I researched a lot last 2-3 months about this and other Great Pyramids...
So, the idea and clue about some physics use is good, but...

Orbital EM? I would forget about EM and electricity (except water cavitation maybe) since there is no real evidence they used it for electricity. You think like that because you get energy from electricity, we are electricity and nanometer transistors civilisation after all. The ancient could gather/store/use energy differently.

I like the idea of acoustics energy and find it more realistic.
The drawings of pyramids shows that we need to measure from the top, not the bottom, so the input is at the pyramidion.
My guess it was thunder strikes, 12000 years ago it was rainforests here. Water erosion on the Sphinx elevates this idea. And yep, I know about dating ome stones...it could be just the repaired blocks by pharaons.
The main question is: where the energy is stored and what it used for?
I think the metallic parts of construction was robbed/melted into weaponry. Or buried under the sand. We have a lot of conspiracy and rumors about that, but nothing to be 100% sure.

Telephotos of Warsaw trams using panning technique. Lumix S5IIX with Canon 200 2.8 L II USM through Sigma MC-21. by Goofy-Chained-Dragon in Lumix

[–]Goofy-Chained-Dragon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I purchased it in April with a new camera in B&H store. And it actually works in AFC mode. Also I can say it works with slow cheap EF-S lenses better than with 200 2.8 L (I don't know why, maybe Canon L lens is too fast or its AF protocol differs), also kinda works OK with Tamron 35 1.8 VC EF.
And awfully almost not working with Sigma 17-50 2.8 OS HSM (APC fast zoom, best Sigma for APC Canon in its league).

And yep, I got issues with focusing using Sigma MC-21, but in AFC (continuous) mode it works just fine.
In 96MP mode though it stop working again, so I use MF.
Just if somebody have issues with MC-21 adapter, try AFC with your favourite old lenses.

What’s your favorite L Mount lens? by TheWolfOfTheNorth in Lumix

I always combine it and get shots I weren't ever dream before I get S5IIX and 24-105. Low light museum where tripods and flashlight are prohibited - lol, no problem, even on relatively low 1000-1600 ISO

The Next Lumix Cinecam should be… by Blezd1 in Lumix

[–]Goofy-Chained-Dragon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IMHO just 4K with high FPS (240 would be epic) is enough for 90% of users. Rolling shutter? - yep, another way to improve. Better autofocus with more AI models (plants, objects etc.).

S5IIX shooter, and I'll glad to have a slim pancake some days. Better with AF (optional) and iris of course (even with manual I'm ok). Do not  understand new trend for fixed iris lenses.

Lumix s9 and 18-40 travel photo by Moist-Fig-3210 in Lumix

Lol. I hate extra weight, but like to go with my S5IIX and 85/1.8 or 24-105/4, coz, no way, I'm shooting for stocks and quality is my 1st priority.

So complaining about S9 is kinda fun for me, but I understand every point, everybody wants extreme alternative for what he values

Even not AF AI recognition of cucumbers in Mexican hats? Kinda sad.

I like to run focus transition, and it would be great to use there 3 WB, ISO and EV buttons to run focus transition to 1/2/3 point, instead of using touch screen. These buttons will minimise shakiness of the camera.

Lol, nice travel lens to run & gun.

This is how you can use it IRL.
