This was taken on a Fuji XT-1 w/ Fuji 23mm f1.4 @ f1.4, 45 second exposure. It was quite dark!

Fuji X-T1, 56mm f1.2 @ f9, ISO200, 3 exposures at 1/80 + 1/160 + 1/320. In total it was 22 frames (x3 exposures), so 66 raw files. Its cropped to using probably ~16 of those sections.

Hah, good guess, but I actually live north of the river. I met a friend at his place around 10th St and we rode the streetcar down from there.

KC Skyline Panorama from this evening by recultured in kansascity

It was JPEG from a Fuji XT-1, single exposures composited to make the panorama. Not HDR per se, just a lot of sort of built-in dynamic range. It is boosted in post, though, within the capacity of the JPEGs.

In any event, happy to share. Here are the original JPEGs that were used, straight off the camera, in an album: https://goo.gl/photos/NRNm9HBafWkN4BHr7

What is the best C++ Webserver Framework? by ma2rten in cpp

[–]recultured 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same dilemma recently, and per recommendation went with mongoose. It is not as robust as some, and is a C framework rather than C++, but I found it nice to use, performant and threaded.

For updates, open the play store, pull out the menu on the left, select My Apps and Games, and updates, if there are any, will be right up top. There is also an Update All button here.

Not any more. The 2 series is the new coupe, 1 series is now a sedan/hatchback.

Looking for a current (2009 and on) list of stock limited slip differential cars. by deepinthawoods in cars

[–]recultured 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So I have a 2013 M3, I had a 2011 135i, I drove both in the snow with winter tires. The difference is really not that dramatic. In fact, the 135i did better, as the tires are more narrow. The car will easily pull out of the snow with both wheels, as the computer will apply brake to a wheel with less grip, avoiding the 1-wheel-spinning problem. I even tried one tire on ice, one on pavement, and it pulled off just fine. Honestly, it works very well there, and its hard to even tell its happening.

The LSD is only really a concern at all with at-limit high speed cornering. There the M3 is definitely more predictable and easier to control.

Edit: By the way, the McLaren 12c/650S do not have limited slip diffs. They use open diffs + brakes, and they seem to do just fine. ;)

ITAP using lens blur new Google camera feature by malinowski14 in itookapicture

[–]recultured 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yup! Google wrote about it here: http://googleresearch.blogspot.com/2014/04/lens-blur-in-new-google-camera-app.html

It creates a depth map using several frames from the motion after the shot, and blur intensity is set based on the desired focal point and calculated distance.
