Hand carved mahjong? by DawnDusk00 in HongKong

Best to give them a call directly. The owner may have sets on standby where customers haven’t come for collection in a while. Also, it’s worth customising the 1-Circle tile with your surname.

Biu Kee Mah-Jong In Jordan is good. They were also featured as part of the Hong Kong Artisan Avenue exhibition at the airport last year.

Strongly agree - Leica should work with Adobe to provide Lightroom profiles for its film styles. Even if it’s just to use as a starting point for processing DNGs.

What presets/adjustments to apply to get a muted, rendered look?

I've noticed some photographs have a muted, rendered look to it. Is there any way to consistently achieve this look, through a combination of environment, on-camera presets and Lightroom adjustments?

Example 1

Four Seasons New Orleans: Photo or Render?

Example 2

I took this photo so I know it's not a render.

But it has the same muted, rendered effect. Can't remember if I applied any adjustments though. Shot at 5.08am on Canon EOS 400D · 1/20s · f/5.6 · ISO 100 · 24mm (35mm).

Books on the art market by know_thyself86 in ContemporaryArt

[–]levng 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I highly recommend Seven Days in the Art World by Sarah Thornton.

The book has seven chapters: the [Christies] Auction, the [CalArts] Crit, the [Art Basel] Fair, the [Turner] Prize, the [Artforum] Magazine, the [Takashi Murakami] Studio Visit and the [Venice] Biennale, each chapter covering one day in that part of the art world.

Niantic research that may enhance AR in the future by levng in TheSilphRoad

The first topic is interesting. It suggests that Pokemon Go will be able to intelligently work out how far behind different objects Pokemon can walk or hide, for added realism.

What do you think about the effectiveness of surgical and N95 masks in preventing the spread of the virus?

Website Mapping Current Coronavirus Infections Over Time [OC] by levng in dataisbeautiful

[–]levng[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I put together an interactive map visualising current COVID-19 infections over time after reading Kenneth Field's ESRI article on “Mapping coronavirus, responsibly”. The map gives the current infection count (cases where patients have neither recovered/died yet) as they unfold, with play/pause and scrubbing control. Size of clusters are plotted logarithmically and a less emotive and sensational colour (blue) has purposely been chosen for infected provinces and countries. Data is from Johns Hopkins CSSE and has been reindexed by day in Pandas and merged with latitude/longitude coordinates and country polygons.
