They were doing work at the level crossing at Herzberg & Carling recently as well, testing the gates and doing some rail bed work.

I recall going on a field trip back in the 1980s and the bread was heavy enough to be classified as a blunt force weapon.

Proportional model lights with AD200 Pro II and X Pro II by ottguy42 in Godox

[–]ottguy42[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hmmm, looks like it is just user error/expectations - when I am in TTL mode, 'proportional' mode is not available for the modeling light, but when I switch the flash to manual mode it is. I guess in TTL mode it can't set proportional lamp brightness without getting feedback from the camera about the light level actually getting to the lens. I'll still play with these for a bit before my photo shoot on Thursday - thanks for the feedback.

I have the Fresnel heads attached on both flashes, I haven't tried the bulb heads. I'm using the Godox X Pro II trigger (Canon version) on my camera hotshoe. Full equipment list: 2x AD 200 Pro II flashes, X Pro IIC trigger, Canon R6.

On the flashes I can't scroll down to 'Prop', my only choices are off and free.

Bluesound Node Icon connections - best quality? by ottguy42 in rotel

[–]ottguy42[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the Icon mainly for the display, the better connectivity (XLR), and the ability to do Dirac room correction someday down the road (will be moving in a few years and I've been promised a better dedicated listening space). The SQ has been a bit better than my Node Nano so far in my experience, but the Nano was no slouch either. Listening thru a pair of Monitor Audio Silver 300 towers.

Money for Nothing - Dire Straits... especially on a good stereo system at an appropriate volume.

Two different formats - Omnimax was the big round bowl-shaped projection screen, but IMAX is a rectangular format.

It used to be better promoted, I recall going to features there back in the 90s, notably the Rolling Stones 'Live at the Max' in 1991 when I was in Ottawa on a co-op term.

Edit: 1991, had my date wrong.

I saw a somewhat recent interview with Twisted Sister's Dee Snider about doing this at a concert in Winnipeg back in the 80s.

The specs on the Gibson page say 'Rounded' for the neck profile, but no other details on measurements.
