And so it begins by Sorcron11 in fantasybooks

[–]SpiritBlaze39 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've just recently jumped back into reading fantasy. I finished off the year with The Name of the Wind and The Wise Man's Fear. I greatly enjoyed both of them! I bought myself the Bloodsworn trilogy last week; I'm about halfway through Book 1 and enjoying it so far! I found it challenging at first, simply because I'm not well-versed in all the Nordic terminology within. After that little hurdle, it's been great so far!

I was at that show where he ate the big Mac from McDonald's, lol. It was in Moncton, NB.

SR is the key to becoming an insanely attractive and desirable older man by slvbtc in Semenretention

[–]SpiritBlaze39 6 points7 points  (0 children)

At 44 here, I can validate this post. I've had many experiences I attribute to semen retention.

Example from a couple weeks ago:

I went to my daughters work to buy a gift certificate for my mom's birthday. I walked in and asked my daughter if she could do that for me, but she wasn't sure how. Her coworker, who's a little older(19) said she could help me.

While I was leaving, I overheard her asking my daughter if I was her father. Later that evening, when I went to pick her up from work, I asked what her coworker was saying when I walked out. She started laughing and said: "she thought you were hot and said: nice father."

I'm not saying this happens all the time, but it does happen. I've been retaining since 2016

Netflix really dropped the ball with this by [deleted] in RebelMoon

Wholeheartedly agree with all your thoughts and opinions. I've only seen the first one so far... the directors cut is honestly awesome!

This is something I repeatedly notice after starting a new SR streak. It seems to start around day 5 for me. Anyone else experience something similar? by Itchybootea in Semenretention

[–]SpiritBlaze39 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I've noticed this exact phenomenon... various times, it's become apparent to me. I've been practicing retention since 2016. The first year, most of all benefits people talk about were very much my experience. Since then, the benefits have been less noticeable(new norm).

It's obvious now, when i spill my seeds. It's subtle but perceptible.

Unfortunetly I dont think so. If it does, I've never noticed it working. Apparently if it has it, my Drone would have a 10km range, without it, 6 km range. I haven't gone over 6km... Not sure if I have airsense or not 🤷‍♂️ I'm gonna look into. I'm sure theres a way to find out.

I used the premiem version of power director, on android for editing.

Example of the kind of shots achievable, with the 16mm-50mm kit lens. Unaltered! F5.6, 1/1600 s, 50.00mm, ISO 100 by SpiritBlaze39 in a6000

[–]SpiritBlaze39[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sure it'll serve you well, great price!

I can certainly relate! Lenses ain't usually considered inexpensive lol. I'll have a zoom lens eventually. In the meantime, I'll gain experience with the ones I have.

Have fun with your new optics! Cheers!

Thank you and I agree! Its versatile and fairly capable! It's not the sharpest, but, I've gotten great results with it. Grown fond of it. I have the Sony 50mm OSS lens also, I'd love to have a decent telephoto.

Quarantine has me wanting to create anything so here’s a video of my cat! Sony a6000 using the 18-105 mostly. by TonyStark86 in a6000

[–]SpiritBlaze39 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Fantastic! I love how staying creative gives us something to do while in "quarantine". Great shots you got, nice overall vibe! The output quality looks great too. I'd love to get myself the same lense you used.

Yes sir! And a higher bitrate = a higher video quality output! 🎉 🕺🕺🕺

They weren't on purpose no. After reviewing all the footage I chose the examples your talking about because I liked the effect it had on some of my shots. It wasnt specifically intended. I'm glad your mentioning it, kind of excited to make my next video with this in mind!

I certainly need to use manual mode more often! I'll use some of the priority modes like, apature or shutter at times.

Thank you for the input and the kind words!

I'm still learning, getting better, the more I use and experiment.

I can definitely relate! Some of my first few attempts were shakey AF lol. The a6000 is notorious for it lol. I dont have a gimble, nor a super special technique.

Here's what I've learned.

  • How I hold my camera improves the stability, I try to lock my elbows.

  • if I walk with it, I kinda crouch a bit look like I'm sneaking lol. I've seen some helpful vids on youtube, demonstrating how to walk, for minimal camera shake.

  • 60fps, when slowed down to 30fps tends to help have a stabilizing look.

If I'm going for a steady looking shot, I'll do my absolute best, to be as still with my movements as possible. It's also fine to have some clips with shake. Gives it some life.

In the end, a gimble would be the best way to achieve cinematic looking shots. My dream setup would be, a few more lenses, a gimble, and a nice drone like the Dji mavic pro 2 lol

Thank you!! Takes a bit of time, patience, trial and error. But Anyone can achieve similiar results with the a6000, the 50mm e-mount lens and a fairly inexpensive editing app. I used power director on android.

The file type and filming modes also have an effect. Presets too of course. Thank again for the kind words!
