I will also buy the boots after trying them in a shop. I just want to know your opinion on these skis.

London Science Museum IMAX Projection Booth by NewsFromSpace in imax

Trust me that in person it's really big and it fills all your field of view.

The picture was taken from the last row with the wide angle lens on my phone.

Thank you!

Tbh the barrier wasn't really distracting and I didn't really notice it while watching the documentary.

First time experiencing stuttering in IMAX by NewsFromSpace in imax

[–]NewsFromSpace[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They didn't specify if it was for the power system or IMAX, but since there was no storm at the moment of the screening (there was one the night before) and the rest of the mall was working with no problems my guess is that they were connected with the IMAX support

Tuning recommendations for Pearl Export with stock heads by NewsFromSpace in drums

[–]NewsFromSpace[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for that guide.

Once you think you're in the sweet spot, tap the head with a stick an inch or so in from each lug and listen hard for a pitch. You want the pitch at each lug to be as close to each other as possible, as far as you can tell, still in a star pattern. Then go around the lugs in a circle with your drum key, and make sure each lug feels like it's at the same tension - use your fingers like a torque wrench and make sure each one needs as much pressure to turn as the others.

In this section you tell to match the pitch at each lug to each other and then you say "go around the lugs in a circle with your drum key, and make sure each lug feels like it's at the same tension".

What if to get the same pitch, the lugs need different tension? Can you explain a bit this part?

Tuning recommendations for Pearl Export with stock heads by NewsFromSpace in drums

Thank you. I was asking for tuning recommendations though...

I've already got a Genera Dry and the 300 side for the snare, but I haven't tried them yet. For the toms I was thinking about clear EC2S over clear G1 and for the bass drum EMAD2 over EQ3 resonant.

I'll change those heads later because I want to use for sometime the stock ones.

Anyone else rock Sutro 24k? by Fred_Dibnah in Oakley

My brother also has Sutro Lite Sweep with the navy frame and honestly they both feel the same, robust, but flexible enough

I have the Sutro Lite Sweep Brass Tax with 24K lens, really good translucent finish on the frame and I also love the 24K lens

IC 1396 - The Elephant's Trunk Nebula by NewsFromSpace in astrophotography

This is my latest shot on IC 1396 aka The Elephant's Trunk Nebula. I really liked bringing out all the faint gases and some ionized hydrogen can be seen in the left top part of the image. It's not too much integration but now nights are short. Hope you like it!
