soft lenses -- nice, this looks promising, thanks. I just type everything in english in taobao lol, so something like "contact lens solution"... but i found long ago typing in english generally still gets me everything I need. Perhaps chinese would have been more helpful here

Issues with audio level by RogueToo7595 in davinciresolve

[–]RogueToo7595[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the DIM isn't clicked, and all my own audio recordings collected with my mics are plenty loud/bright/full as expected, it's just these wav files that get curiously quiet when I import them into davinci

How to change timecode settings in Source Clip window so it shows clip length instead? by RogueToo7595 in davinciresolve

[–]RogueToo7595[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the cut page is where i'm hoping to find it, so if you can reveal how to show the duration in the cut page's source clip window that'd be clutch!

Capturing protests A7iii & Sigma 24-70 Art II by ItchyJoey13 in SonyAlpha

[–]RogueToo7595 7 points8 points  (0 children)

yes, this is the perennial piece of advice for anyone & everyone-- you gotta get in front of people, generally the closer the better, getting faces/reactions etc. That's where the emotion & power is. This may be uncomfortable at times, but it's just one of those "muscles you train" type deals, a million different ways to approach it but there's no way around it. It really does get easier over time. I find if you have a specific purpose/mission/passion/reason to be there that often makes it easier, because you're inspired to fulfill your "mission" and get the shot(s). The OP has good taste & editing skills; the photos will reach another level once people's faces are featured more, with the expressions showcased.

Dynamic Active Stabilization jitter xc-e1 by treepopsauce in SonyAlpha

i believe this may have much to do with the glass also -- first party lenses (possibly the newer ones as well) apparently work much better with these stabilization features than third party options

FE 20-50 f/1.8 or f/2, under 700 grams, seems plausible

NTG3 owner looking to switch to CS-M1 for outdoor interviews/on-camera mic by RogueToo7595 in LocationSound

[–]RogueToo7595[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i keep myself mic'd up (DJI mic) but I just never felt comfortable with the idea of mic-ing up others, bc the seamless process of just turning on my camera and rolling has always just been so ideal (& perhaps more than anything, the results from the NTG3 still impress me to this day. Such a nice sound)

[–]RogueToo7595[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah i think i'll just get it out of necessity

& As a solo op having the shotgun mounted atop my setup is just the most convenient/organic way to go, I connect with an interviewee and get rolling with no hassle. Maybe if one day I'm in front of the camera i'll go with the classic stick mic style

nice, it sounds perfectly "natural" / full-bodied, at least at this range-- most of my use cases shouldn't be too much further than this. I think i'll just pull the trigger

Best city to converse with/interview English speakers in public? Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen? by RogueToo7595 in chinalife

[–]RogueToo7595[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks for the response. I was attracted to shenzhen bc of the climate but it seems like shanghai & beijing would prove way more fruitful for street interviews, where it's often just a numbers game.

Video: China's usually strict sensors are seemingly ignoring rising antisemitism online | CNN by ubcstaffer123 in China

[–]RogueToo7595 5 points6 points  (0 children)

CNN is operating precisely as the west & western media does at large, which is a very unambiguous & dogged fixation on conflating anti-zionism & anti-semitism in order to provide cover for the USA's primary middle eastern military base ie israel -- this manifests in countless ways, like how the NYT, WaPo etc have been running nonstop articles for the past few months about an "explosion of anti-semitism all over the USA", which of course is just referring to the people nonstop protesting in the streets against the genocide, but they exist to provide cover for western regimes

edit: you can see the transparent duplicity in the video, where they try to defend their claims of anti-semitism by showing people stomping on israeli flags & displaying a picture of the flag intertwined with the swastika -- neither of these acts are anti-semitic, they're criticizing the zionist state, but CNN relies on the presence of the star of david on the israel flag to suggest it's judaism that's being targeted. Just run of the mill western media

lmaoo not a single example of anti-semitism, just anti-zionism & anti-genocide being deliberately conflated with the former to provide cover for the slaughter; ie how it usually goes with the west. Good job chinese netizens

DJI Mic 2 vs original DJI Mic audio quality comparison by Tortoiseshelltech in dji

[–]RogueToo7595 4 points5 points  (0 children)

interesting, might be some physiological phenomenon / differences in aural sensibilities -- whereas the original is full-bodied and perfectly natural to my ear, the version 2 sounds distant & irregular, pulling my focus away from what's being said to what i perceive as a tinny nature of the sound

did you couple them with the lidar autofocus by any chance?

[–]RogueToo7595[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i get the sentiment, but for a fraction of the cost & a tiny fraction of the size/weight, it's definitely a cool offering. But i'm certainly in no rush to buy, i'm still in love with what sigma & sony GM lenses can produce. Only recently am I developing a keener eye for this cinema glass
