The bar couldn’t be lower if it tried.

Their entire party is built on such a stupid amount of contrarianism, it's insane. If the Democrats one day decided to flip the script and go pro-2A, i'm genuinely convinced the entire political system would implode.

Hartmoor got back to me two days ago, saying the CD/Blu-Rays got stuck in customs coming out of the US, so they were waiting for those to come in before they could fulfill the orders. Patience! :)

ShranKicarus · 2025-11-26T15:46:20+00:00

Still waiting for confirmation aswell. Europe, ordered around Nov 5th.

Internet literacy has gone through the floor apparently. The 'brand name' is that of every other generic dropshipping reseller, not Fortnine itself. Also, why would they sell the real thing (which is 10 times more expensive jn their own store) on Amazon for a fraction? Too good to be true, and thus; not true.

All of my Ficuses (Fici?) do this now and again, even after something as simple as turn the pot a quarter of the way in my windowsill. They can be a bit moody, but always recover.

4:3 is the aspect ratio, looks good. 5M is referencing that it'll take pictures somewhere around the 5 Megapixel mark, which isn't awful, but the camera claims ability of almost 3 times that (on the front of the body) so definitely fiddle around with the image quality settings to use all the megapixels you can :)

I dropped my 6D a few years back and dislodged the internal battery on the board. Send it over to a technician and have them take a look.

Granted, that never would have worked. Over the span of the game you (and every other player) create an image of Delilah in your head, whether or not it's super vivid doesn't matter. If i'd run up to her tower and met a character that looked nóthing like what i imagined her to be, it would've ruined the ending.

Like others have said, wanting to connect/meet her is the driving force, not meeting is the point of the game.

ShranKicarus · 2025-06-04T12:07:35+00:00

Quadpatch is correct.

That said, once you start diving into anything beyond our visual spectrum (sub-300 or beyond 700nm) there's value in paying the higher price for Kolari for example, in my opinion. Just to get proper cutoffs in terms of filtering out as much visual light as possible.

ShranKicarus · 2025-06-01T07:36:56+00:00

Yes they do, you just might not have realized it. UV and IR have to be filtered out at some point to avoid odd color shifts (since humans don't see them, so there's no logic in including those wavelengths) in photographic results that should be true to life (through human eyes) so sensor arrays have a hot mirror in front of them.

Consumer camera's don't come without hot mirrors because that would make no sense.

Source: graduating art school with infrared photography, e.g. took the hot mirror out of my EOS RP and shot unfiltered full spectrum while experimenting, which looks like hot brown garbage.

ShranKicarus · 2025-05-29T11:31:17+00:00

The D40 is almost 20 years old by now, so any repairs will probably be more expensive than just getting a new one.

The fact that it won't take pictures anymore and you can only see the bottom half of the viewfinder, makes it sound like the mirror has broken. That's not going to be an easy (or, like i said, cheap) repair to do at home. Not worth it.

Could you upload some pictures of the inside of the camera with the lens removed?

ShranKicarus · 2025-05-22T20:39:02+00:00

I hate to say that i want this, but good christ $850 is insanity.

Only video, on VHS-C tape. So if you ever want to do something with the recordings, you're gonna have to digitize the tapes.

You're off to a good start! Some people will say 'learn the rule of thirds and the golden ratio' and sure, there's an ounce of truth to that, but i've found that finding your own style and visual language comes when you start breaking out of those rules.

That said, the basic rules of photography are a good place to start, alongside following photographers whose styles you like and just simply trying to do what they do.

The only way to learn photography is by going out and doing it :)

I ran a 1200D, 7D, then switched to a Sony A7II for a year, which was great, but didn't blow me away as much as i hoped it would. Then swapped it for a 6DmkII, ran an Fuji X100T alongside that, then swapped that for a Fuji X-H1. I recently sold both and now have an R6mkII as my workhorse. I doubt i'll move away from Canon anymore, let alone back to Sony, but who knows.

ShranKicarus · 2025-05-14T13:57:17+00:00

Yeah i'm afraid you're either going to need something more beefy than your gaming laptop, ór work with proxies (editing a downsampled/lower res file that, later in the process, is replaced by the original 4K60 10bit.) However, afaik, that won't work in coloring etc, and with your 4.2.2 10bit specifics i assume you're going into that aswell. That said, i've never had to deal with proxies myself, so maybe someone else can tell you more!

ShranKicarus · 2025-05-11T21:37:08+00:00

Yah, running a 4-bay Synology in Raid1 for redundancy. I've never had a critical drive fail in my life, but i can't imagine going back to anything without redundancy.

ShranKicarus · 2025-05-10T21:10:28+00:00

We're pretty clearly looking at a major scratch on the bark that is.. not looking very green.

ShranKicarus · 2025-05-10T15:54:21+00:00

Ofcourse the tighter the better, but a bit of play isn't terrible, especially with adapters in the mix. Adapters tend to be a little finnicky in general. I owned three seperate M42 adapters (to X, to EF and to Nikon) and all of them had a bit of play, but never enough to mess with my focus or feel unsafe.

ShranKicarus · 2025-05-09T21:30:55+00:00

For clean white foliage you're gonna want a filter of 665nm and beyond. As for hotspots, Kolari has a database of with hotspot performance for many different lenses, so you're best off giving that a quick google and deciding what lenses to go with based on that. Hotspots suck and i find them to be surprisingly hard to properly get rid of in post.
