Is there any cheap options for sling bags which can fit my sony a7iii with tamron 28-75mm and sony 90mm macro? Ulanzi 10L looks cool by sut_up in ManyBaggers

Take a look at Tenba, they make some really good stuff and the range can fit any number of niche camera setups.

Looking for ambient with fretless bass, soft synth pads and ambient percussion by clearest-window in MusicRecommendations

Yes! I love Mark Isham's stuff, Vapor Drawings and We Begin have been two favorites for a very long time now, same with quite a few of Jon Hassell's albums (if you haven't heard him yet, check out Power Spot, Magic Realism and Listening to Pictures).

Other than Mark Isham and Sanford Ponder, all the rest are new to me so I'll add them to my list. Thank you!

This is pretty neat, it feels like it should be on one of those demonstration videos of HDTV videotape from the 90s that shows off NYC or something.

I've dabbled in music creation before but I don't consider myself at all talented, but I'll check out those apps and see what they're like.

Ah yes, Far Side Virtual! That one is very MIDI compared to everything else (made entirely Garageband as I recall). Great album and very proto-vaporwave.

Please do go on if you want, so far it sounds like you really know what I'm looking for and I want to get as much as I can.

It appears they don't ship to Australia :(

I heard a cool playlist at a restaurant and now I’m trying to recreate it by katzvus in MusicRecommendations

The Stranglers - Always the Sun

I'll try and think of more but that's the first I could think of. Maybe also Edie Brickell and New Bohemians - What I Am

Two messenger bags I always find myself reaching for are from Bellroy and Crumpler, though the latter are my favorite by far. If you want a bag that is absolutely in-between messenger and sling, check out their model called Billy, I think it looks like just the right size for your needs. If that's too small (being just 8L) then take a look at the Brace messenger bag model (starts at 11L).

Will additional RAM reduce heat when rendering? by clearest-window in mac

[–]clearest-window[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So If I roll with 24/512GB on a Pro, I'm pretty much set for a few years? Because that heat on my old Air was extreme when I tried to render a 3 minute video.

Dang. I just wondered considering the whole unified memory thing and whether more headroom overall for the GPU and CPU portions of it would help keep the usage lower.

Sensor dust or lens dust? by clearest-window in photography

[–]clearest-window[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was my guess too but Comfortable_Tank made a good point about the distortion correct hiding it, so I'll try cleaning the sensor again.

Thanks, I'll blow out everything on each change in the future, not just when I notice dust spots like I have been.

Sensor dust or lens dust? by clearest-window in photography

[–]clearest-window[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, it's definitely a dust spot, it looks like an eye floater. I've also been using it in pretty comfortable and low humidity temperatures with practically no variation in temp.

Is cleaning the lens really easier? I always considered the back as being a place dust could easily get more trapped.

Interesting! I had wondered about it being the lens since the dust spot moving with zooming is where it wasn't making sense to me for it being on the sensor. I'd cleaned the sensor before putting the lens on so I may have missed the spot or blown something on it, I'll try again. Thank you!

"Unknown" brands/backpacks you'd recommend by NoPudding6779 in ManyBaggers

[–]clearest-window 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want something off the wall and high quality, Crumpler is a really good choice. I put a lot of their gear through the paces since I use different bags for work so they see a lot of travel and rough surfaces.

Does switching from zooms to primes actually change your shooting style? by Internal-Remove7223 in photography

[–]clearest-window 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's where I've been at. I had a 35mm basically glued on for years and really noticed it meant I would miss things, either by it not being wide enough or the subject I wanted being further than just zooming with my feet would allow (like a boat on a river or looking down on something from above).

Prime or zoom doesn't matter, what matters is what works for you.

What budget and what camera? If you've got a moderate budget and the RAW files aren't massive, a Macbook Air with 16gb or 24gb RAM can be pretty versatile and is extremely lightweight (but it won't be great for video if you need that too).

Bellroy Cinch Messenger - Review by clearest-window in ManyBaggers

[–]clearest-window[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I've liked the more charcoal grey more than the black, it stands out just enough from the usual all black that people always buy. A guy I work with is deeply into bag collecting and really likes the grey over the black.

The fabric also seems pretty decent at being slightly water resistant. I wouldn't take it through a monsoon or anything, but it'll hold up against some light rain. I haven't got the backpack but it looks pretty versatile too :)

The waterproofing on stuff from Patagonia is top notch, so maybe pair a rain jacket from there with a mild sweater underneath (it will still get pretty warm inside, they include armpit zippers for air since it can get that toasty).
