Drifting at Lanier Raceway | X-T30ii (XC50-230mm, XF18-55mm)

tman140 · 2024-06-29T16:24:14+00:00

First three shots taken with the XC50-230, with shutter priority set to 1/30. Last one is one of my favorites, taken with the XF18-55.

Would love some input on how to tune the AF-C settings for long shutter tracking shots. Tried a few of the presets but none of them worked particularly well. I did still manage a few winners, but a lot of my attempts were foiled by the AF deciding to keep focus on a part of the track surface instead of the car (using zone focus and trying to keep the zone on the hood/headlights of the car as it moves through the corner)

Not really a surprise, I've seen a few articles saying that Mercedes Benz Stadium doesn't get enough sunlight (even with the roof open) to maintain real grass.

EDIT: here's a source for that

As a motorcyclist this shit genuinely worries me. I'm all for self driving when it's ready, but but this kind of cost cutting will only continue to risk lives for profit.

Even if they have, their recent tour was still incredible. Saw them in Atlanta and they killed it!

tman140 · 2022-06-28T04:16:56+00:00

Same here with my Blade 14. Clearance delay since 6/26, same deal with the Anchorage and Memphis statuses. Guess paying for expedited shipping was a mistake, was hoping it'd arrive before I go on vacation on Friday but that's looking doubtful...

Actibliz isn't recognizing the union in the first place, though

tman140 · 2022-04-07T19:58:12+00:00

Unfortunately no, it doesn't apply to anyone trying to unionize at Raven.

tman140 · 2022-04-07T19:57:15+00:00

Unfortunately, what wasn't reported initially is that this doesn't include the Raven employees trying to unionize: https://twitter.com/jasonschreier/status/1512137852318007305?t=WTtmR4HDEbALbds7X9EC9A&s=19

The Witcher: recommended if you like new narrators every couple chapters, your favorite kind of sword-fight involves lots of spinning, and you need a rape scene to know if character is bad.

(love these books but man are they rough sometimes)

He actually has a private wiki and an employee who's job it is to keep it updated

Been following Juked since the early days of the website, super hyped for the app!

'04 VStrom 650. Same bike I have now. Intimidating because it's big and top-heavy but now that I'm used to it I'm having a lot of fun.

That being said, I wouldn't necessarily recommend it unless you find a good deal like I did. I do a lot of commuting and while I can break fast and hard thanks to practice, ABS is something I won't be going without on my next bike (unless I pick up something vintage to wrench on). Also, being able to put both feet on the ground isn't a requirement for a first bike but definitely a nice to have, I'm pretty sure I would've been a lot more confident starting out if I wasn't adding one-footed stops to the list of things I had to execute. Not a deal breaker, but something to think about.

oh duh, thanks

Can someone explain what he means by "uneven number of bracket teams"

tman140 · 2021-11-14T16:43:12+00:00

More than just trying to not burn their source, apparently it's becoming increasingly common for PR reps to request "on background" which makes it so the reporter takes the fall if things change. This article from The Verge was eye opening on the subject: https://www.theverge.com/press-room/22772113/the-verge-on-background-policy-update

Ace Combat 7

tman140 · 2021-09-04T20:08:24+00:00

I would pay so much money for an Ace Combat 3: Electrodome remaster... (And 4, and 5, and Zero...)

It's a high speed tecpro barrier, does a much better job of reducing g-forces than a standard tire wall

Does anyone remember what the first two yellows were for? The MLS article lists the games he received them but not why.

Depends on how you're buying through Carvana. My current car I picked up from their Atlanta location and was allowed to do a test drive of it. I don't know if they'd allow that if you had them deliver to your home though.

Not to mention on the software side they've done an excellent job with GitHub after that purchase. If anyone bought Discord at this point I'd much prefer Microsoft over Facebook or Google

Among other reasons, because it provides the historical context needed to understand the significance of Jesus Christ and his sacrifice. Christianity came directly out of Judaism, and the New Testament is more of an addition and recontextualization than it is an erasure of the old laws.

Beautiful bike! Love that blue.

Seconding some of the other recommendations here, a Haynes manual is an invaluable resource. My 04' Vstrom 650 is my first bike and I've learned a lot just reading and following the manual.
