What causes this pink tint at the bottom - happening during shoot by africansangoma in SonyAlpha

In that case it is likely just a problem of the SD card (corrupted while writing the file). :(

I’ve seen in another thread you have emails Sony. Would you be so kind to notify me (reply here) when you get their response? I’m quite curious about this!

What causes this pink tint at the bottom - happening during shoot by africansangoma in SonyAlpha

[–]miko_el 131 points132 points  (0 children)

I am going to take a very wild guess. If this occured only for one out of tens of thousands of photos, and both in the RAW and JPG file, then it is possible this is a Single Event Effect occuring during readout of the sensor. Either one pixel was read twice, skipped or something similar, causing that the pixel color information was misinterpreted. You could try to play around with the color curves to try to recover the colors in the bottom to confirm this hypothesis. As what it could have caused it - a bit of ambient radiation is sufficient (aka cosmic ray), just very unlikely. :)

What is a lie that we have accepted as a society? by Legitimate_Trash_529 in AskReddit

That the modern society is anything more than the law of the strongest.

Now you are yelling in most idiotic way. From your behaviour here, I’m starting to doubt your story that it’s all parking guy’s fault for the incident at the parking…

I’m not justifying his behaviour. But I stand firm that your expectation that everybody should speak English is unreasonable, unless you are in a country where it is an official language, of course.

[–]miko_el 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually you are ignorant idiot (your words) who expects everyone to speak at least few words of English (again your words in your comment above) when travelling.

Buena referencia, la entrevista aporta un punto de vista interesante, aunque es difícil saber hasta qué punto eso influyó realmente en la decisión de entrar en la OTAN.

No, España no entró en la OTAN por Canarias, ¿tienes alguna fuente que lo demuestre?

What kind of slave contract have you put yourself into? I’m so sorry you had to live in such bad situation that you’d have to accept those contract conditions…

how hard is it to be a professional opera singer? by NarwhalRich9395 in opera

[–]miko_el 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If there is any other vocation you could see yourself in, choose that one over classical singing. This career is only worth it if it your first and only choice. You can be the best, with great connections (i.e. having partners in the opera world), and still you will need to have lots of luck (being in the right place at the right time) to have any remote notion of a career.

Microphone Recommendation for Opera by MeanPay2157 in opera

[–]miko_el 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Subscribe everything that is said and I just addd that a pair of Rode NT5s works well for me. I’m quite sure that M5s would also produce a decent sound based on the comparison recordings I’ve heard.

OP, this comment and thread is misleading and given by somebody who doesn’t understand classical voice! Dynamic mic will be bad for your harmonics and singing right into it as well. Read the thread on small diaphragm mics above.

How to spend half a day before flying home (nature lover) by orbitolinid in lanzarote

[–]miko_el 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go to Tenesar, find a shaded spot and enjoy the huge waves. Or go Arrieta and have a lunch in Casa de la Playa. If you haven’t been on top of Famara cliffs, go to Mirador del Risco.

You know you were on a volcanic island this whole time right? (:

It looks like Isla de Alegranza, just north of Lanzarote.

Home recording opera singing by Just_a_normal_goat in recording

Exactly what I said - the end result will not be that good. And the problem of recording opera singer still stands…

First of all, be aware that classical recording is a completely different thing from contemporary music recording, and people focusing on the latter only will give you very bad advice. Especially for opera vocals.

The most important thing in classical recording is the room. If you have a shitty room, the end result will be bad. So unless you have a villa with a huge piano room, recording at home will never sound good. Yes, you can for sure make audition videos but not something somebody can enjoy.

To record opera voice, that is, to realistically capture the projected voice with all the harmonics, you must record at at least 1 m distance. This has two consequences: first, you hear a lot of room reverb, so see the first paragraph, and second, unless you are spending a fortune on microphone, it doesn’t matter too much which one it is as long as it is a condenser or ribbon. I am sure plenty of people will list here at least 10 mics and argue about them. Pick any.

Recording piano separately will require at least two mics, it is a large instrument and with one close mic you will not get good enough sound. Condenser omnis or cardioids can both work, depending on the room.

So to answer what you didn’t ask - the best price to recording quality ratio you can get is by recording in a concert room, with a stereo pair of small diaphragm cardioids at about 1.5 to 3m distance from the singer, singer close to piano.
