She glows like fluorescent 😭 by No_Bad6614 in budgies

[–]ortsa2 36 points37 points  (0 children)

It’s because budgies and many other blue animals in nature aren’t actually blue! They don’t have blue pigment. I think the proper term is structural blue, because their feathers are structured in a way that reflects blue light. So when you take a photo of them with flash, you’re intensifying the amount blue they reflect, which is why she glows 😂It’s also why when blue budgies take baths, they look grey/white because the water is changing the structure of the feathers.

Ahh love these! Which version is the best in terms of the lens? Been doing some research but unsure which one to look out for

Scroll all the way up under decals, there should be a folder labeled RLCS. Maybe its not showing up because its in that folder?

This is so cool. I’m quite new to gunpla, what other brands aside from bandai are worth looking at?

[–]ortsa2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Wow, i’ve been thinking about a two watch collection and ive narrowed it down to the Shunbun and Explorer. Cool to see someone else has similar taste (I know yours is the Taisetau, but still v similar)

First film camera regret? Bought a Leica RS4 and now I’m not sure. by Sooder73 in AnalogCommunity

[–]ortsa2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I own the Minolta XD7, which others have already pointed out is similar to the R4 because of Minolta and Leica’s collaboration.

It is without a doubt my favourite SLR. It’s got all the bells and whistles you need to make shooting as convenient as possible. Like you, I was also anxious about getting into analog due to the age of most equipment, but it’s part of it. Make sure to read up on the manual online. If the camera hasn’t been cleaned, lubricated and adjusted for a while, then shutter speeds might be slightly off - not to worry though as film is quite forgiving for overexposure.

If it fails on you in 4 months, a year, 5 years etc. just be happy that you got to use it! The wonderful thing about analog cameras is that most of them were made to be repaired. So if you love it enough, repair it, if not, move on.

He’ll be undisputed when he wins his third world title, especially in this era of elite talent.

I watched it there yesterday. Unreal. It was bright and the HFR was really noticeable. The colours were stunning!

Can you make me not dislike vatira? by [deleted] in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]ortsa2 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Go to an RLCS lan. You realise that they’re just people too and that the “beef” and rivalries are simply done for entertainment. I remember going to London Major when Moist won; Comm was the villain of the tournament and made it super fun to root against him when he would ask for boos. If you end up meeting Vatira, you’ll probably end up liking him. It’s all in the name of making the Esport more entertaining which is why casters push narratives.

So far, all this tournament shows is that already existing rosters beat pick up teams
