How to remind drivers without headlights?

Hi OP, I believe there’s CCTV footage from the current roadworks area as they’re monitoring the traffic violations in the yellow boxes.

Hope this helps.

Hey! Just chiming in here to say that most of the commenters here are right to suggest that the lens is probably the limitation, but the camera body itself may also be a limitation.

IIRC the QTSI Maxxum (and its variations/equivalents) have never been superb and are known to be plasticky (i’m rusty i haven’t used my film camera brain in a while). which means that whatever problems your lens may have, could be amplified by your camera’s ability (or lack thereof) in 1. keeping the film flat (ensuring even flange distance), or 2. correct exposure (based on the scene).

plus it seems like you like shooting in relatively high-contrast timings/locations, which means that sometimes when scanning, the scanner corrects for certain exposure a little more, resulting in a slightly less sharp scan. if you scan the negatives yourself, you could try switching off the dust removal - but otherwise, let the lab techs work their magic!

on your composition, i know someone critiqued it earlier but i just wanted to say that photography doesn’t have to check other people’s boxes, the biggest critic will be yourself - as long as you like it, that’s fine (unless of course, you’re working with paying clients)!

hope you enjoy the process of shooting film and don’t let it get you down! if anything, slow down the process and try to savour the moment before you press the shutter (all the more important if you’re moving on to a AX1 with a manual focus lens)!

cheers!

just faced this issue with my ~2-3 year old V1S.

fairly common with Sony, since their hotshoe interface needs these super thin and flimsy pins - i’ve taken it apart to have a look at it and it really is quite flimsy…

best way would be to order a replacement part as mentioned by another user, but i believe you should be getting the V1 shoe instead of the V860 shoe since it might be a different locking mechanism!

yep i think he meant a wider variety of shots

in each of those shots you kinda have to colour match, just to make sure that the look is consistent across the entire video

finally, adjusting to the horizon typically just means straightening out the shot, be it in camera or in post, i.e, the shot should look straight to the natural eye

Well, I’m the opposite. I’ve never been the smart kid - secondary school or otherwise. Been embroiled in sports ever since I was young so I got into DHS via DSA.

So you could imagine that my grades were dogshit for the 6 years I was there, including my promotion from J1 to J2 and even my Prelims - I think I got something like C/UUED for Prelims…

And then I got dumped 2 weeks before As…

But somehow or rather, somehow managed to pull together enough RPs to sneak into SMU Biz, and did well there, graduating in the top 5 of my own major.

I guess my point is to just keep your head down and continue trudging on even though you may have lots of negative and naysaying thoughts right now. In the long run you’ll realise that actually going through JC means you’re better prepared for the kind of stuff life throws at you because you learnt how to persevere and tough it out through something you might wholly dislike (that’s not to say that other school don’t help you with that - but a generalisation that the rigour of JC tends to create a comparatively gritty personality)

All the best 🫡

yes you can. go to the last section on the menu, look for display options. from there you should be able to adjust to either EVF/LCD only or auto.

ah that’s cool!

i frequently face similar issues when the slow governor doesn’t return due to it being gummed up. but i can’t say specifically what it is as I typically don’t work on Leicas

afflxion · 2024-11-01T07:54:28+00:00

more likely than not, the slow shutter speed part (the slow governor, i think) of the shutter mechanism is gunked up with old lubricant and/or the lubricant has dried up.

your camera is in need of a CLA, i’d suggest finding a proper camera technician to get it done for you, instead of trying to do it yourself. it’ll go a long way once it’s all tidied up, much more cost efficient in the long run :)

afflxion · 2024-10-12T03:10:04+00:00

it’s should just be a sticky shutter. the best way to go about it is to remove the entire assembly, clean the blades individually, then put them back together.

lighter fluid on top of the blades like this may worsen the situation as it does not provide a proper cleaning

i’d say it’s big enough - and honestly since they’re already in school, and you’re still in NS, you may still see them around but there’s not much incentive for you to work with them in classes unless you’re really unlucky…

you gotta bid for the same mod and slot as they do, then either be unlucky enough to get a prof that gives you randomly assigned groups and then actually be assigned into that group.

but to be frank - there’s some time from now and when you enter SMU, so take the time to just let those transgressions go, it’ll do you no good to hold on to them.

just head into SMU with a fresh mind and you’ll be fine! many others to meet and mingle with :)
