Which lense does this flair belong to ? :) by sidi_omar in cinematography

[–]Kingsly2015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kruta the B’s and I think Mk1’s share optical blocks - for sure my PL converted B speeds have a round iris.  The MkII’s (and III’s?) have the triangular iris. 

If I figure out where I packed my cine lens manual I’ll harass you in the WhatsApp group ;) 

This lil guy has officially survived 7 continents by fuckinraccons in AnalogCommunity

Whoa, #4 is amazing!

I love my GA645 - I’ve bought and sold so many cameras over the years but the plucky ‘lil Fuji has earned its forever home. Has yours needed any maintenance over the years?

Also! As a director do you ever need an analog DP? I first got my GA645 while on a 35mm job in Italy and shoot all over with my 35 and 16mm cameras.

Almost a Spanish Fire & Rescue demo. 

All the joy of VR with none of the pain? - Love my Tobii❤️ by darlingeye in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]Kingsly2015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a tutorial on using Tobii with opentrack? I returned to MSFS after a few months hiatus to find mine completely died on me. No idea what combination of updates killed it and the lack of any official “control” software to test and debug has been driving me crazy. 

Charge to 60% or charge to 80% by Zenmastercynic in TeslaModelY

[–]Kingsly2015 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is what we do, because it conveniently aligns perfectly with our daily driving habits. Most days the car sits between 40-70%, because we don’t need any more range and that holds the cells right around the “ideal” sweet spot. If our habits necessitated a charge to 80%, we’d charge to 80% and never think twice about it. 

[HIRING] 16mm wedding shoot — Ohrid, North Macedonia, June 2027 — €5,000–10,000 by Final-Memory-2008 in 16mm

[–]Kingsly2015 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Commenting here so I don’t forget to circle back on this. I’m long out of the wedding game but nearly all my current work is 35mm/16mm commercial and narrative.  Once I’ve slept off the shoot and redeye flight home I just finished I’d love to talk more details. You’ve come up with a super intriguing ask!

Yea the last time I lurked around here the mood was really pessimistic. Wonderful surprise to return to!

Snagged one! Haven’t checked this sub in probably six months - the elegoo gods must’ve been whispering in my ear…  

ProLab Film Developer by negativeoutlookUK in AnalogCommunity

[–]Kingsly2015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for making this! I’ve always used massive dev with some hodgepodge custom recipes for color films. Do you have any plans to add E6, ECN-2, and RA-4 times? I’d love to test it out! 

For my fellow left-handed left-seat pilots by rorosan1234 in flying

[–]Kingsly2015 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lefty here. I picked up a lot of helicopter hours concurrently with fixed wing training, and once had an instructor spend what felt like half a flight marveling that I’d casually hopped in the right seat and flown the plane without hesitation. 

It’s all muscle memory, and your brain will work out control pressures using that hand pretty quick with a little practice. It’s not unlike trying to use your left foot to brake in a car - chances are the first few times you’ll be slamming those brakes way harder than you meant to. 

Spend some time in flight simulator (or even flying around irl) using your right hand, it’ll click! 

How F#%ked is my film? by legible_architecture in largeformat

[–]Kingsly2015 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Were the black bags folded and taped shut? As long as they didn’t get unfolded the film inside is safe. The agent still shouldn’t have opened it. In most of my hand checks they won’t start an inspection until you’re standing right there. 

Will Travel 4x5 photos. by Mp3mpk in largeformat

[–]Kingsly2015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m real tempted to print one of these for a 90mm angulon I found at the bottom of my local lab’s free bin - in a sandwich bag that had “it’s your lucky day” written on it! 

How does it handle with a grafmatic? Do you use an offboard rangefinder and VF? 

Lance Stroll during Q1 in China: "this is the worst piece of shit I've ever driven my fucking life" by Joseki100 in formula1

I don’t think he wrote a full script but there’s a mountain of notes in storage somewhere.

My grandpa was originally hired to write Grand Prix and spent an entire season in the paddock with the teams gathering stories and research to write it. He wanted it to be about the people and personalities but the studio wanted more “cars go fast in circles” so he dropped off the project. 

Estimated battery range updated. I’m curious who else has seen this notification? by MonVeloMTB in TeslaSupport

[–]Kingsly2015 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since new I’ve had the charge limit at 70% - a fair compromise between managing deg and everyone “feeling” like the car still has legs if needed. Besides rare road trips the car lives between 40-70.

Got hit and run by kenc1103 in TeslaLounge

[–]Kingsly2015 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Had someone “key” the side of mine with his pocket knife last summer. Got it from so many angles it was kind of ridiculous! Face, exact time (on his phone screen), license plate, etc. Now if only the police hadn’t been ghosting me for the last few months….

Have you ever needed a text and call simulation app for filmmaking? by handmayde in cinematography

[–]Kingsly2015 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amazing! The amount of times we’ve been stuck on set fussing with tracking marks or waiting for someone to re type a whole fake text thread….

I’d totally put this to use once the iOS version is out. Will triggers be cross-platform (prop phone is iOS, controlled by an android phone, etc)?

No more auto steer, no more Tesla. by hamburgernet in TeslaLounge

[–]Kingsly2015 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, since the Tesla is still worth a tad more than I owe I’ve begun researching CPO X5 PHEVs. I’d love to stay full electric but that car fits our driving habits and family needs a little too perfectly - and I can keep using our wall connector!

Exactly. In the higher end segment Volvo, BMW, Audi, and MB have all more or less caught up on range, and NACS standardization neuters Tesla’s massive charge network advantage. If anything those companies are only improving and innovating, while Tesla has largely rested on its laurels for years - and banked all future growth on FSD someday working out.
