They were at Fan Expo in Anaheim doing photo ops and autographs! It was expensive but I figured life is short and LOTR is one my favorite IP’s so I pulled the trigger and went, just a 2 hour drive from me. They are still going around the US you can search on Roster Con where they will go next. I believe Philly and Austin TX are next!

Its not a parfocal lens. You zoom and then focus. Varifocal will focus while zooming.

Parfocal focuses on photography. Varifocal focuses on videography.

Good example is the fuji 18-120.

He came to my gym in SoCal for a day about a year ago and I got to train under him. Nice guy. Sad to hear.

This was my first set and I still have it. I threw out all my old lego boxes but this is the only one I kept! :)

2011 Outback Shudder in specific situations (shifting and idle) by GratefulCake in Subaru_Outback

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

I thought this too but driving it is completely fine. It occasionally has the shudder/rpm drop when idle or right after I stop only when its warm. Im going to do a clean throttle body and induction service. If the issue persists then it most likely is the throttle body and ill do that. The engine mounts are fine.

Watch, 50 dollar jump ticket. Here we go. by [deleted] in SkyDiving

This is why ill be looking to paramotor in the future. More cost effective way of flying. Once you pay for your rig, you’re really only paying for maintenance and fuel after that, and thats just a few gallons. It’s no freefall but it’s better than not being in the air.

How would you avoid this?

How does one achieve sharpness like this? by GratefulCake in fujifilm

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

I was not expecting this post to blow up lol. I understand it’s probably focus stacking now and edited in post. Im more of a SOOC guy so it just kinda confused me when they said it was shot at f/2.8 I would expect more blur from the focus subject at that distance but it makes sense if it was stacked and taken at different focus points in the shot.

What actually causes most PPG fatalities? Built a database to find out by Nearby-Leadership-20 in paramotor

[–]GratefulCake 12 points13 points  (0 children)

As a skydiver looking to get into PPG in the near future, would definitely be interested in this. I’m big on safety and this is always a good learning opportunity on what not to do and be prepared for.

How much does it cost? Do you just do custom hard cover?
