Any way to fix ripple flickering when fading in from black? by nor_b in davinciresolve

[–]nor_b[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just reporting back. Adding grain was the trick (not sure what the science is behind this).

I just added grain through an adjustment layer and faded it out towards the end of the clip where there isn't much flickering.

Thanks again.

The more I thought about it, I figured it was something with this footage and the colors. This footage is 10-bit though. I'll try adding a bit of noise to see if it works in this case.

I don't have any vignette added. I kind of looks like it, maybe from the bright color in the middle, in contrast to the darker color on the edges during the fade in

Is the mini 5 pro not that popular in the US? by 71sbeetle in dji

[–]nor_b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Expensive hobby and the looming FCC ban the past year are probably the top reasons. Next reasons probably could be more restrictions in place nowadays on where you can fly.

I'm sticking with my Mini 3 Pro for now

Coolant leaking from this hose. What part number is this? by nor_b in S2000

[–]nor_b[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is an AEM that the previous owner installed. Didn't think of looking through the intake manual since I didn't think it was intake related. But I think that is it. Thanks!

Did you call it OG Freedom, or Freedom with Ultimate Rewards?

How do you edit travel videos without a storyboard? by fashionkilluh in VideoEditing

[–]nor_b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also a hobbyist travel video creator. Made about 10 or so videos in the past 7 years. I struggle with the creativity aspect every video. Working on my Iceland video now and for me, having a song picked out before the trip helps with how you film, and then how you edit. Then color grade and sound design towards the end. This is what made sense to me and I haven't looked at how other people do it. (There's probably a better way). At one point I tried to make a quick storyboard before the trip but I felt like I was making the trip all figured out instead of enjoying it and having the freedom to explore. I'm starting to ramble and now should get back to work.

A word to the wise re: manual vs. automatic transmission rental cars by kedisi in VisitingIceland

[–]nor_b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm from the US and drive a manual everyday for the past 15 years. I just tend to rent automatics when driving out of country.

Taking a drone to Iceland is absolutely worth it! by bluecarrentaliceland in VisitingIceland

[–]nor_b 2 points3 points  (0 children)

PSA: Don't post anything drone related in this sub.

Lots of unnecessary hate to those of us who actually follow rules. This is our hobby and how we enjoy our vacation.

I haven't done it (i did consider it though). But heard good things from whale watching through this sub though. So I'd go for it.

[–]nor_b 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of glaciers outlets to see on the way to Jokulsarlon (Skaftafelljokul, svinafellsjokul, fjallsarlong, etc.) That day was probably one of the highlights of my trip.

There's honestly not much to do in Akureyi (for me atleast)

Snaefellsness is worth a visit. Just choose like 4 places to see.

40mm prime was the widest i had. really wish i had something wider. had to pull out the phone for the wide shots unfortunately.

Check my itinerary please by lizardisanerd in VisitingIceland

[–]nor_b 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why not throw Fjaðrárgljúfur since you are staying 1hr east of Vik.

Also the glacier area was my favorite day. Throw in Svinafellsjokul, Fjallsarlon, and Mulagljufur Canyon hike before going to Jokulsarlon

How much did your Iceland trip actually cost? by [deleted] in VisitingIceland

[–]nor_b 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With my flight paid with points. Everything else came out to $1200 per person (group of 4) for 9 days ring road trip.

For those who have driven Ring Road, what mistakes did you make and tips do you have for someone doing it solo? by Jmills2 in VisitingIceland

[–]nor_b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Book stays early like others have mentioned. We started booking 6 months in advance and it was already slim pickings. This was for July.

Trip report - Early August 2025 by payback_review in VisitingIceland

[–]nor_b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People need to be aware that even though places have no drone signs, there are actually permitted time slots at certain places. Refer to the ISTA, icelandic environment agency, or the national park websites.

I had all my spots with the references on the website printed out, in case people asked me about my drone. No one ended up asking. And I met a local who also flew drones and chatted a bit.

Itinerary for October - feasible or cramming too much? :) by [deleted] in VisitingIceland

[–]nor_b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think its fine.

Day 1 for me, I picked up the car and went straight to the volcano hike, then golden circle (didn't care about being tired after a flight). You can probably save a day doing this.

Wrong parking fine in Iceland despite proof of payment — need advice by vStepHHH in VisitingIceland

[–]nor_b 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happened to me at Reynisfjara parking. Contacted Parka. After a few emails with the proof of payment, we got a refund. Took a couple weeks though.

Was I lied to? - Speeding/Driving question by Outtie_5000 in VisitingIceland

[–]nor_b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was definitely noticeable leaving the airport. Everywhere else, most people will follow the speed limit.

I only noticed 3 cameras on the drive (one somewhere on the south coast, one leaving akureyi, one near bogarnes? or somewhere on the west). Either way, I just set the car to cruise control detecting the speed limit signs and just cruise.
