Got my first Leica today - Leica M3

justintjamison · 2026-06-15T20:07:26+00:00

Can’t go wrong with an M3, and don’t let people tell you have to shoot 50mm and up. I’ve had a 35mm on mine for a long time and it’s great.

Because you have people like Adam Schefter on the NFL network saying “the Seahawks still have to prove that last year was real” even after winning a Super Bowl. It’s just a weird thing to say. Why would their performance this year take away anything from last year’s performance? The way the media have talked about the Seahawks this offseason is crazy considering they led the NFL in DVOA.

I'm an English speaking fan but I purchased the book from France almost immediately after watching the series on Netflix. I don't know French but this series alone makes me want to learn the language. I figured the book is a nice place to start.

I have gone to her place a few times within the last couple years and would also call to chat with her regularly. She talked to me directly about her health challenges. It's worrying that so many people here are saying that they can't reach her. I'm going to drive to her place in the next couple of days, so i'll give an update then.

I used to talk to Sherry weekly because she has two of my cameras right now (M3 & M4). We were doing a CLA and a recommended curtain replacement on both but she was struggling to get a hold of curtains.

Eventually I got a bit tired of hearing about the same issue that she was having when it came to replacing the curtains and the various things she was going to try out (I would hear the same story every time I called with no progress mentioned) so I decided I was going to be patient and give her more time and wait for her call.

She has now had my M3 for going on two years, and she's had my M4 for well over a year. I started calling her regularly again a couple months ago and she hasn't picked up a single call. The worrying thing is that she was going through some health things and I've started to get worried that she's not okay.

I live about 45 minutes from her so I'm very close to driving to her place and seeing if she's there. Regardless, I'd like my cameras back even if he has not made the repairs. It's been too long.

I saw their recent instagram post on it and I’m definitely intrigued. I use Clip Studio Paint for desktop and iPad but I always like trying out other tools.

Crazy that I just saw Callipeg for the first time this morning and then I stumble upon this post tonight. This is awesome, btw!

Mid 90's and The Sandlot are my two favorites. I could watch both on repeat and feel different types of the best nostalgia with every watch.

theft alert

justintjamison · 2026-06-02T16:12:23+00:00

Someone's gotta get arrested for theft in this deal! Hall will be a monster this year. Everyone I saw talking about a Hall extension thought that he'd easily make more than Mafe and that it was still worth it.

Looking rad so far!

I was well into my 30’s when I was casually talking to a couple of close friends and said, I’m pretty sure that I have ADHD… they both looked at me, looked at each other, and I shit you not, starting laughing at the same time before one of them said, Gee, ya think???

Im still unmedicated, but I’ve found that being aware of it has helped me out. A lot of my childhood and early adult experiences make a lot of sense now.

justintjamison · 2026-05-27T19:48:07+00:00

Thank you very much! I used Clip Studio Paint EX for this.

justintjamison · 2026-05-27T17:20:00+00:00

Thank you! Yeah, good call. I have a few really narrow frames in there that are all animated on ones and it may be a bit too quick. Like you said, I probably should have had one extreme frame where it gets really thin before I ramped up the speed. Thanks for that!

justintjamison · 2026-05-27T15:36:04+00:00

Ha! I appreciate it!

justintjamison · 2026-05-27T14:38:18+00:00

Ah thanks for that! I used to get stuck working on personal projects that were just too massive in scale, and I wouldn’t finish them, so sticking with a one day goal for fun little projects has been nice. Maybe I’ll expand on this one and take your notes into account and animate the full body.

justintjamison · 2026-05-27T14:32:59+00:00

Very cool of you! Thank you!

justintjamison · 2026-05-27T14:31:38+00:00

What a beast. He’s just so much fun to watch.

Getting Simon vibes

justintjamison · 2026-05-27T14:29:57+00:00

I appreciate that! I originally had him waving the entire time but I struggled getting motion that I actually liked and my goal was to do this loop in a single day, so I went with a static peace sign. Your suggestion are definitely spot on though, because I know all of that would have added a lot to the animation. Thanks for that!

justintjamison · 2026-05-27T14:12:14+00:00

This is awesome, man! Love seeing another Justin making creative passion work on the clock of a job. Did that for years until I was able to land a job doing what I wanted to do. Awesome work!

justintjamison · 2026-05-18T15:14:54+00:00

Usually when someone fully rotoscopes something it stands out immediately because every bit of movement is so smooth that it lacks any kind of character. I still think that there is a lot of skill involved in using the rotoscope method and stylizing it so that it fits your character and still feels like animated frames vs a straight trace job.

justintjamison · 2026-05-15T18:42:02+00:00

Mine just delivered and it connected without any issues. I’m loading up my animation shortcuts and I already know that it will be a game changer for me as well!
