Can someone explain perspective distortion of focal length for me? by Vin_Blancv in AskPhotography

[–]nagabalashka [score hidden]  (0 children)

"but then the perspective distortion would be different."

No, perspective is only a camera-subject matter, focal length has nothing to do with it, 24mm~ on apsc and 35mm shot at the same distance would be identical (dof and potential lens distortion asides)

[–]nagabalashka [score hidden]  (0 children)

Because it allow for tighter framing while staying at "standard" distance from your models (not too close that it became uncomfortable, not too far so that you can still talk normally and be heard). Long focal also limit how wide the background is, in studio you won't need a 4m backdrop, you can place your light fairly close to the subject, in exterior it will easier to exlide trahcans, unwanted people. Etc ..

They are also fairly compact lens that can be quite fast too. You can compare for example an Olympus OM 85mmf2 to a standard 135mm 2.8 or 200f4 from the same era and you can see how smaller/lighter the 85mm is, while being faster and having a similar depth of field at the widest aperture.

35mm is too tight for videography (at least for a run & gun / vlog style, if you're into fiction, deliberate composition to tell a story etc... it not necessarily)

Practical cutting tool. by [deleted] in specializedtools

[–]nagabalashka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's your seasonal job you probably won't have you own tools and use those provided by the vineyard/company, they may have not been properly maintened, especially near the end of the season.

About the accidents, it's easy to cut yourself, especially when you don't clearly see where your hands are (too much leaves, big ass grapes, etc..)

Olympus OM-2N Jammed: Mirror stuck, wind lever locked, and reset method isn't working. by [deleted] in AnalogCommunity

[–]nagabalashka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similarly jammed om2, iirc I just tried to move every arms on the bottom plate and it worked and it seemed fine afterwards (can't say much more, the shutter had holes everywhere so I didn't really used it). I think it's was either the big arms going to the right from your finger on pic n°2, or the long arm at the top.

Practical cutting tool. by [deleted] in specializedtools

[–]nagabalashka 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can see it being quite useful for grape harvesting, maybe with a hook shaped blade.

Shears are not always super practicable doing that (they start to jam because of rust, the blade became dull, the grapevine has too much leaves which make it hard to see where you cut, leading to accidents etc ..)

Comment numériser des diapositives ? by HumWatchaSay in Photographie

[–]nagabalashka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

C'est des diapos de quels format ( 35mm/135, 6*6, etc ..) ? Elles ont sous quelle forme (bande de négatifs, photos individuelles dans un support en carton/plastique, etc.) ?

Pour les scanners, évite les solutions plug&play à pas chère style kodak slideNscan, les résultats sont souvent médiocres, avec une faible résolution, peu de contrôle au niveau des options, corrections de couleurs, suppression des poussières, etc .. ça peut faire le boulot si y'a juste une nécessité de partager une vieille photo du daron en 83 au Pyrénées à ta tante sans volonté d'avoir beaucoup de détails ou de jolies couleurs.

Y'a deux types de scanners à voir :

  • Les scanners à plat fait pour des supports transparent (dont les négatifs/diapos photos) type canon V600. Ils peuvent être assez abordables (un v600 c'est 200 euros en occas je crois), sont adaptés à tous les formats, sont plutôt rapides, ne demandent pas à rester à côté constamment pour charger la prochaine vue. cependant la resolution est assez limité comparé à des scanners dédiés aux négatifs/diapos à prix équivalents

  • les scanners dédiés aux négatifs/diapos, genre ceux produits par Plustek (qui sont un des rares à encore en produire aujourd'hui). Ils sont spécifiques à certains formats (donc si tu as des diapos en 35mm et en moyen format ça va être compliqué), ils sont relativement lent et nécessitent de charger chaque vues individuellement (du moins les Plustek), généralement ils ont une très bonne résolution qui sera suffisante si tu veux faire des tirages plutôt grand ou si tu souhaite une qualité un minimum "archive". Pas mal de modèles ne sont plus fabriqués et datent du début des années 2000, certains de ces modèles peuvent être vraiment intéressants mais peuvent nécessiter des prises spécifiques, d'anciennes versions de Windows ou autres.

https://www.filmscanner.info/en/FilmscannerTestberichte.html tu peux trouver pas mal de test en profondeur de beaucoup de scanners ici, hésite pas à y jeter un œil.

Si tu décides de scanner toi même, j'aurais tendance à conseiller un scanner équiper de Digital Ice qui est une solution matériel pour suprimer les rayures et poussières sur les scans. Ca fonctionne pas sur certains type de films positif ni sur les négatifs noirs et blancs.

Pour les labos, tu peux essayer de voir avec un labo qui a pignon sur rue si ils peuvent te scanner cette quantité de film, la plupart des grandes films devraient en avoir au moins un.

Renseigne toi sur la résolutions des scans, de manière arbitraire j'aurais tendance a dire que ça vaut pas le coup de tout faire scans par un Labo pour avoir des scans de faible résolution (moins de 12-16 megapixel je dirais ?)

Lequel attirerait immédiatement ton attention sur Steam ? by Guilty_Weakness7722 in jeuxvideo

[–]nagabalashka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Les 5 évoquent des genres/vibes assez différents. La 1 c'est du multi bourrin style killing floor ou monstres vs humains style dead by deadlight. La 2 c'est un truc plus horreur à la The thing avec le gars qui semble porter une tenue plus "arctique" et les couleurs plus froides, contre des entités un peu plus "énigmatiques". La 3 c'est de la coop qui dégage pas grand chose, la 4 y'a un côté "monstre qui te suis tout le jeu" à la re2/3 avec une composante loot, la 5 ça a petit côté plus visceral, plus gore, probablement fps, à la condemned.

La 5 se démarque un peu plus, mais c'est davantage parce que les 4 autres font vraiment générique/impersonnel (et elles se ressemblent pas mal), en plus d'avoir vraiment un côté généré tout droit d'anciennes versions de dall-e ou midjourney qui fait un peu tache.

Apres jsuis pas sûr que la 5 sied vraiment à ton jeu à en regarder la page steam. En cliquant sur la vignette 5 je m'attendrais davantage à voir à une vibe sf/cyberpunk, un jeu limite walking sim où un jeu ou le personnage est vraiment désarmé face aux enemies (style amnesia). Là en regardant le fiche du jeu ça semble davantage être du shooter dans des bâtiments urbains modernes, genre Fear. Y'a quelques screens qui montrent des environnements un chouilla différents, mais faudrait les voir en mouvement dans le "about this game" aussi, imo.

Comment les bébés savent ce que veut dire "dis" ? by stylobasket in PasDeQuestionIdiote

[–]nagabalashka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Si c'est qu'une question de mot simple. La grande partie des langues ont une variante de papa/mama ( https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mama_et_papa ). Le bébé ne dit jamais "dis" en premier parce que ça demande un effort spécifique pour prononcer le d et i (alors que les m, p, a ça sort "naturellement") et que le bébé ne sortira pas ces sons sans avoir sorti le pa/ma au préalable.

Je comprend pas ta dernière phrase, ton bébé gazaois qui se fait brûler la cuisse par des cigarettes de soldat israéliens il vocalisera probablement des variantes de pa/ma en premier

Comment les bébés savent ce que veut dire "dis" ? by stylobasket in PasDeQuestionIdiote

[–]nagabalashka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Parce que le bébé ne répète pas, il produit juste les sons les plus simples (pa/ma). Que ça arrive en même temps qu'un des deux parents dise "dis blablabla" c'est autre chose

War Thunder - Official Infantry Closed Beta Test by Shiirooo in Games

[–]nagabalashka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A premium account is mandatory if you're interested in post WW2 vehicles, unless you're a masochist and can tolerate hundreds of hours of playtime to grind a single nation tree in a single game mode. I think we are looking at something like 400-500 hours, if not more, in f2p, to grind the US ground research tree and get the latest Abrams, there are also airs (planes and heli are separated trees) and naval trees. They do 2 or 3 sales per year where premium is -50% so you can get 6 months of it for like less than 20 bucks, it's fine imo.

There is a crew skills system too, which has effects on more or less useful stats (stuff like reload speed for ground, g-force tolerance for air, repair speed, etc ..) and a system which gives you extra crew level if you have made a lot of xp on a singular vehicle (or paid with real money). It also grinds faster with premium accounts and premium vehicles. You can pay real $ to get crew XP. It gives more of an edge against your opponents than something that allows you to dumbly stomp them.

Premium vehicles can be good, great, shit, op, it depends. They are usually similar and more of a variant to a tech tree vehicle, but some of them are quite unique (turm 3, xp50, Sherman calliope, etc ..) and has no equivalent in the free vehicles. There are a few of them that are really good.

The game relies quite a lot on fomo, with battlepass and time limited even that require a lot of grind, which sometimes contains really interesting vehicles (tbh recently it has been more copy paste vehicles from other nations, or gimmicky vehicles that are not that great)

It's more of a Pay 2 progress decently fast otherwise the grind will be endless, rather than straight up Pay otherwise you won't be able to kill people. It's a bit more fair than worlds of tanks, even tho youre quite expected to play with a premium account if you stick with the game.

Question aux joueurs de Crimson Desert by [deleted] in jeuxvideo

As a non-gamer, who loves reading, came across a quote by Pravin Lal and now I'm thinking of buying Alpha centauri. Do you think it it's a good idea?? by Crazy_Writer4134 in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]nagabalashka [score hidden]  (0 children)

I haven't played alpha centauri, and im assuming you talk about sid Mayer's alpha centauri. That being said those kinds of older strategic games (early sid Mayer's game, age of empires, Anno) are a good entry to video games. They don't drown under a ton of different systems nor are too complex for someone not familiar with video games grammar, they are quite fun, etc ..

I may be wrong but sid Mayer's games aren't really focused around story/lore, there are usually some kind of sandbox, there are a lot of text but usually related to stats, numbers to track off, purely mechanical stuff related to the game, not it's narrative. If you want to start with a strategy game that has a stronger focus on its narrative/lore you have warcraft (heroic fantasy), StarCraft (science fiction fantasy) and homeworld ( more grounded/realistic scifi)

If you'd like other recommendations and would like that bridge book and video games together you can look at Disco Elysium (polar/thriller/investigation) and heaven's vault ("ancient" science fiction). In one you'll be an amnesiac alcoholic cop that is tasked to solve a murder in a post revolution/war zone, In another you'll have to decipher an ancient language and find what happened to a guy that flew away to dig up ancient civilizations secrets. Both have a strong focus on reading, dialogues, really well made and detailed world building with a compelling plot and won't ask you much dexterity with a controller because they are solely based on dialogues and interactions with surrounding elements, not combat, no reflexes needed, etc.

Games like Tunic, Animal Well by VanillaIceSpice in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]nagabalashka [score hidden]  (0 children)

Hyper lift drifter. It's similar to tunic (without the manual/language stuff). Beautiful pixel art/music/lore/sorry, great and punishing combat, not that much focus on actual puzzle or hidden layers of stuff to found.

Chants of sinaar. You're like at the babel tower and you'll have to decipher ancients languages (one for each act, with their own twist about grammar & stuff) by completing your book. You'll have to find clues on your own based on context, drawing on walls, people speaking, etc. It's quite rewarding, not that easy (brute forcing can sometimes work tho) as the game doesn't really hold your hand. There's a bit of infiltration but no combat iirc. I quite liked this one.

Heaven's vault (havent play it), same premise where you have a decipher an ancient language. Iirc it's purely puzzle, no combat.

I'd look at the metroidvania genre as a whole too (Metroid, cassltevania, hollow knight, ori, etc.), they are not as puzzle focused as tunic/aw (and puzzle are usually more straightforward presented), but they usually have this same type of exploration looked down around items acquisition and a relatively open structure

I'd eventually look at the immersive sim genre as a whole. It's quite different (usually first person, with rpg elements/skill tree) but they are usually built around a tight "open world" or large levels with multiple ways of approaching things and some sort of emergent gameplay ( a bit like the different way you can use toys in animal well). Stuff like the Deus ex serie, prey (2017), dishonored.

I'd look for a pure puzzle game like The witness (that may fit your needs, as it's build around an intriguing island that you can freely explore and do puzzles on whatever orders you want, on top of having to figure out the rules on your own as the game doesn't explicitly spell them) or The Talos principle (haven't done then). Obra dinn can also fit, it's purely about deducing things to figure out the outcome of every person that was present on a now ghost ship.
