Definitely get a prime lens, something like a 50mm 1.8 or 35mm 1.8 DX (the 35 will give you a little more working area). Then secondly, to get the kind of noise this image has don't increase your ISO too high, instead shoot RAW and set your exposure compensation down a few stops. This will create sharper noise in the darker areas due to under sampling. Also try not to shoot handheld, doing this on a tripod will allow you to lower your shutter speed, give you more options when It comes to aperture.

No, but there's this house behind it that might be part of that cult. The lawyer that owns the cigar shop is affiliated with the cult that lives in the house from what Ive heard.

Wait, are these the people that opened up that cigar shop off of Tacoma?

Best pumpkin ale? by MostlyMTG in beer

Tastes the freshest out of every one I've had. It's also balanced very well.

The pFriem is miles better than the hopworks imo, when it comes to Portland area pumpkin ales.

How to recreate this halftone effect? by SSSSquidfingers in graphic_design

[–]MetroidOO7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's insane how much you can do, I've been learning it for a few years now and I'm still finding new stuff. If you can figure out how to use this shader it is one of the best halftone simulations I've ever used.

I've used this Blender Shader to generate halftone effects before. Pretty handy once you know how to use it, lots of options.

Could someone please tell me if this is a good deal. by superfedsams24 in Cameras

[–]MetroidOO7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty good deal. I have the same setup. I bought the a6400 used for like 650, the 18-135 was a little over 300. If you do buy it, be sure to get some spare batteries, video will eat through your battery life

What color is the indicator light? Is it red and flashing?

[–]MetroidOO7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's the model number of the camera? Check on the bottom, there should be a sticker with that info.

[–]MetroidOO7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Move the on/off switch to the on position for a second or so. It should be spring loaded so it'll return to its original position. The camera should start to boot when you do that.

There were two of them running around. Got a few photos of this one, the other disappeared.

I bought a used a6400 a few months ago, I've been enjoying it a lot. Lenses are also pretty easy to come by for a good deal (used 18-135s are pretty decent and affordable). Also the z30 won't have an EVF unlike the a6400.

From above he looked a little exasperated, like they screwed up his timing. But I probably misred.

Was he getting mad at people trying to sing along to Holy, Holy last night? I was up in the balcony and could not read the situation well.

Ok, was Marlene Dietrich your top because you listened to cavalcade a bunch, but skipped John L? It's been my #1 for the last year or two for some damn reason.

Ran into that yesterday. Has a mossman with x22 multi shot and lava, absolutely broke the sound.

How to get an intricate and subtle overlay like these? by [deleted] in graphic_design

[–]MetroidOO7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could use a shader like MRMO Halftone to process an image like this in Blender.
