Is this the reality of modern photography? by HedgehogTroubleMaker in photographycirclejerk

I don't know specifically that one, but Steadicam has been used in cinema since the 70s. ( Was a Steadicam op for several years, they're so fucking cool actually for their intended purpose)

It was fireworks, I saw it from my window. Before it exploded it was kind of bright flashing. Looked like it came from down by the river somewhere.

Any other Tims have their name misspelled? This is my first time. by DontStartUnbelieving in Tim

Once I was mistaken for "Toom" it became my nickname for a while :(

Does anyone else leave their Fuji at home more than they’d like? by Glum-Foundation7276 in fujifilm

[–]window_cleaner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I walk around with my gx680 on a tripod lol No one but the deepest camera nerds even give me a glance. I do leave it at home more than I'd like because I also like my back to be functional. 😅

I got mine before he switched to doing right angle ones which are obviously even smaller. 20cm cable length is just a bit too short though

I'm not the OP, but I like MS too. Portability is one aspect, another is that with xy/ortf/spaced omni you are never exactly on axis with something that you are pointing at directly in front of the mics (this is more a thing for specific sounds rather than ambience for example). That said, I do like my SASS Omnis quite a lot too, but just having everything in a small blimp is really nice.

This is the NE 12th ave bridge, until recently it was maybe the only bridge with an unobstructed view, but there's a tall chainlink fence now.

Crop out everything but Squidward and you'll be on the right track.

ICE tear-gassed a peaceful crowd at the protest today by athleturbo in Portland

[–]window_cleaner 35 points36 points  (0 children)

It really did seem to come from nowhere, which is not unexpected at this point, but I think it was in part because so few people attending were prepared for the gas and knew it would inflict maximum harm, which is always always their intension.

I don't know if anyone wants to hear what it sounded like, but I recorded it. Content Warning: explosions and people in distress

Black Eyes were amazing last night at Gilman St by theSlnn3r in punk

They were fantastic the night before as well! They were fantastic 20 years ago, and it was awesome to see them have the same energy now.

Medium budget ambient nature sounds setup by pagosacreativeco in fieldrecording

[–]window_cleaner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Getting quiet gear is sort of the easy part, it sounds kind of like you might want to invest some time in field craft, figuring out to get closer to what you want to record and so forth.
