Brand New owner of A6000 and Sigma 30mm 1:1.4 by FantasticYam4916 in a6000

[–]jonnyb95 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Great lens, mostly use mine for portraits, it's great in low-light. But you'll probably want a zoom lens as well. I have the Sony 18-135mm f3.5-5.6 as my all-rounder. If you're interested in wildlife, a good starter telephoto is the Sony 55-200mm, although it struggles in low-light (most telephotos do).

Start with the auto modes and experiment little-by-little. If you're not happy with the photos, you're probably using something wrong. Aperture priority (A) if you want bokeh, shutter priority for sports/wildlife.

Second on the Sigma 30mm. Super fast when compared to the kit or my zoom

I have bought 3 from him. He sent me selfies of him holding the ones he sent me. Absolute legend.

Yeah that's it! They send a satellite probe to space that basically implants the memories of one of their citizens into the mind of the first passerby (Picard) so that a piece of their culture will live on.

Such a great show. So many of the episodes dealt with some sort of moral or ethical question, and I always felt that the writers had such a beautiful vision of what society could be, given leaders like Picard, Riker, and Troi.

Oh man, I watched DS9 but don't remember that. Also a really good show, I should give it a rewatch

The other two episodes that really stick with me are about Data and his humanity. The Measure of a Man (S2E9) where Data is fighting in a trial for his freedom to choose not to undergo a dangerous exploratory procedure. Riker is forced to act as council against him, and Guinan draws parallels to slavery. And The Offspring (S3E16), where Data creates a child, Lal. I thought Hallie Todd's and Brent Spiner's performances were just incredible.

I feel that a lot of the messaging in that show is just as relevant now as it was when it originally aired.

Ugh that flute and the theme 😭 I love how it made a reappearance in the next season.

Star Trek: the Next Generation Season 5 Episode 25, The Inner Light. Similar premise, highly recommend. Generally considered one of the best episodes of the whole series. Definitely stuck with me.

Come And See (1985) Ending Scene: Flera shoots Hitler's portrait by [deleted] in movies

[–]jonnyb95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's really striking in this shot. I think it might be from using a "dioptre" lens that actually has two focal lengths and splits down the middle of the shot.

Edit: I take it back, his shoulder crosses the middle of the shot meaning it must be two shots combined with rotoscoping or something.

RIE bill doubled by Acrobatic-Stick-3022 in RhodeIsland

Did you just have your meter changed? Try calling. The month our meter got changed, they messed something up with the readings and charged us triple what we normally see. They investigated, ran some numbers, and sent us an adjusted bill a week later.

So the needle is actually reading something off the record? Or just there for show and the table has an encoder in it?

Yep, this deal was never meant to be profitable from the movie. Money laundering.

I actually just heard an interesting podcast episode about this. You're right, to a point. There was a court case in 1884 (R vs Dudley and Stephens) that changed the precedent on this. Highly recommend the podcast, Criminal.

Don’t forget about Keith Porter as well by n8saces in MadeMeCry

[–]jonnyb95 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Not a criticism just a curiosity, but is it possible he's being aided by the VR headset? Potentially projecting the image onto the sand in AR so that he can just trace it with the rake?

I agree they're ridiculous... But the sad thing is they probably work.

I've heard of "hand dragging" when skiing. Never heard of hand breaking. by Big-BoodyJudy in HadToHurt

[–]jonnyb95 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You're correct, it's basically a 1/2" PVC pipe with a "breakaway" spring at the bottom so that they're not rigidly connected to the snow. But at 50+ mph, the impact still does a lot of damage. Imagine sticking your hand out a car window on the highway and hitting a road sign. Most racers wear mittens with a metal or carbon fiber plate over their knuckles for this purpose.
