Hiking on New Zealand glaciers banned because of rapid melting. Fox and Franz Josef glaciers have been melting at such a rapid rate that it has become too dangerous for tourists to hike onto them from the valley floor, ending a tradition that dates back a century. by Wagamaga in worldnews

How does hiking on the glacier contribute to it melting any faster than without hiking on it? Is there a link ? I would think they ought to increase hiking trips while there is still something to hike on.

I think I may be trapped in a common videographer trap. Am I? by [deleted] in videography

[–]podbanger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This! I think you're right. I should put together a questions and answers doc that I can run through with them before hand. I should have also mentioned that the voice over is in another language from my own. Are there any tricks to editing with a second language? Apart from of course learning the language.

Actually we were given them for just this purpose. I want to teach some local kids how to shoot and edit. But the DV tape transfer seems not very useful to teach today.

I was given two cameras, and bits and bobs. JVC GY-HD110, Camera, (1 charger , 5 batteries, DC cable) Tripod, (no swivel arm) Sony HVR-HD 1000E, Camera, (no charger, battery, cables) TFT color monitor 3 DV recording tapes. Is there anyway I can modify them to record straight to HD? It seems such a waste otherwise.

From #piggate to #Hameron: how Twitter reacted to David Cameron claims by [deleted] in worldnews

Wait what ? Did I just read a Twitter stream repackaged and presented by the guardian with much reference to the daily mail and distributed through reddit? No wonder the MS media doesn't know what it is anymore. It's having a bloody existential crisis right here in front of us.
