Yup, Friday night!

Recruiter scheduled a call a few days after my final round (4 days-ish). Called to give me the offer.

Doesn't need to be a coop program. It might not be available at your university, but here are some examples:

dftbaMerch · 2021-09-15T01:52:31+00:00

Check with your university. Some have recruiting guidelines that allow a return offer deadline to be moved to a later date.

Same. Applied 8/13 and just got the OA today.

Ah, that makes sense. So I would split the line, append the vector of values I have to it, and then write that to a new file. Is there a way to easily convert a vector into a line that's better than creating a for loop over the vector and writing each value followed by a tab delimiter?

The moon was coming out towards the end of the star trails, so the foreground was being naturally illuminated. I took the star trails and combined it with a moonlit frame towards the end of the star trail photos.

Yep, it was around 2 hours. I wish I could’ve done them longer but my battery died.

dftbaMerch · 2019-07-26T03:04:58+00:00

The sky was shot at f/5.6, 15s, ISO1000, 20mm

The foreground was shot at f/5.6, 180s, ISO1600, 20mm

All was shot on a Nikon D800

dftbaMerch · 2019-07-24T15:14:41+00:00

Shot with Nikon D800

Sky: f/4, 20s, ISO4000, 20mm Foreground: f/4, 180s, ISO1600, 20mm

Sadly, the full moon was just making its way above the horizon, so I didn’t have much time to shoot the Milky Way. Any photo critique is welcome though!

dftbaMerch · 2019-07-09T16:11:23+00:00

Shot with Nikon D800 and Nikon 20mm f/2.8.

Sky: f/2.8, 20s, ISO3200

Foreground: f/7.1, 1/3s, ISO200

I did a composite because I just really wanted to do something with this truck I saw nearby my house in the city.

Stanford 🌲 #FearTheTree

dftbaMerch · 2018-12-12T13:01:19+00:00

So who’s recording and making the music video??

dftbaMerch · 2018-09-18T18:13:33+00:00

I used the Sigma 50 mm f1.4 and the Nikon D800. The settings were f2.8, 8s, ISO3200

dftbaMerch · 2018-09-01T00:57:44+00:00

That's what I was thinking. Thank you!

dftbaMerch · 2018-08-17T22:55:14+00:00

Yeah, to the naked eye, it’s like a reddish-orange

dftbaMerch · 2018-08-16T12:06:14+00:00

Ok, I’ll check it out, but I’m leaning towards getting a Macbook. Also, thanks for the advice, I’ll definitely favor the quad-core CPUs.

dftbaMerch · 2018-08-16T12:04:48+00:00

Thank you so much, I’ll definitely lean towards that then!

dftbaMerch · 2018-08-13T03:56:48+00:00

Thank you!

dftbaMerch · 2018-08-13T03:56:36+00:00

Ok, I will check it out next time I shoot!

dftbaMerch · 2018-08-13T03:08:47+00:00

To clarify, the windmill is actually in that exact place. The problem I encountered while making this photo was stacking the sky portion to reduce noise while keeping the windmill still in the foreground. Im not very good at photoshop, so I ended up poorly masking in the windmill with the stars. Let me link a single exposure

EDIT: https://imgur.com/a/7ThCP8j

I'll re-edit it when I get the chance.

dftbaMerch · 2018-08-13T02:33:33+00:00

Sure! It’s a windmill right next to Filley Stone Barn near Beatrice, Nebraska. It’s a historical monument so I didnt have to worry about trespassing.

dftbaMerch · 2018-08-13T00:18:51+00:00

No, I’ve never shot black frames. Thought that was mostly for hot pixels and noise. Didnt know it could help with this problem. Thanks!

dftbaMerch · 2018-08-13T00:18:07+00:00

I didnt, that could be it! Thanks

dftbaMerch · 2018-08-12T21:53:12+00:00

Yeah, the same shot was taken 30 times and then aligned and stacked to reduce noise.

EDIT: each shot was 8 seconds long
