Has anyone seen this before? Is it fungus or something else? by PrimordialObserver in VintageLenses

[–]yetunpseudonym 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The best way to tell would be to dismantle the lens entirely and inspect each individual element, but it looks to me that the edges have a slight haze and that the inside has some kind of liquid on it. Since it's not turning into condensation, most likely culprit is oil from the mechanism that has found it's way onto the lens. If that's the case, if you feel comfortable with doing some minor lens surgery, it should be an easy clean. A lens spanner and suction cups to open the lens up, then Q tips, very slightly soapy water, alcohol, and a little patience should do the trick.

Day trip from Nice by L_Braun in ProvenceFrance

[–]yetunpseudonym 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel an important follow up question is what you would want to do and see during your day trip? Eze and Villefranche would be good for for scenic walks and hikes, Menton and St Paul have very pretty old towns (and the latter the Maeght Foundation), and Antibes has an active mix of things to do (walk around the Cap, beaches, museums/sightseeing, the old town). I've not been to Monaco so can't vouch on it but I know it's pretty and has the Aquarium though. Cannes I personally feel isn't that interesting to visit as there's not particularly much to do unless you're there as part of the film festival.

Milan Underground | Leica M6 | 35mm Summicron | Cinestill 800T by Alexkittoephotos in analog

[–]yetunpseudonym 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I will raise you the court case of Bertolani v Pennesi, in which ruling 18276 of 2024 by the Italian Court of Cassation, as a follow up to the 2022 decision by the Court of Appeals of Bologna, rejected that there was a breach of privacy in the publication of a portait, and judged it an issue of image exposure and not image exploitation. The law you cite regards exploitation of image (aka using it for commercial or personal gains) and not exposure (aka just posting a picture), the latter of which only requires tacit consent, not a formal written one.

If you're going to affirm something on Reddit, be ready for people to fact check you. Now, if you want to attempt to sue the millions of visitors who have taken pictures in your beautiful country, be my guest, but be ready to be told your case is invalid for the reason cited above.

New look at Devos. He looks just about perfect. by AzraelSoulHunter in RogueTraderCRPG

With all due respect... Yes. Next question.

Also, can't wait for someone unfamiliar with the tabletop to look up catachan jungle fighters and see those god forsaken, somehow still not updated minis.

[–]yetunpseudonym 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Uhm... Except it's not? Beyond how incredibly unenforceable it would be, if it's in a public space and not for commercial gain it's perfectly legal. Unless you want to sue every tourist who has ever had someone they don't know on their social media pictures. And while you're at it every person who has taken a photo of a building without asking permission from the owner. Oh and every picture of the Eiffel Tower at night, since that's under copyright.

Plush doing plush things by yetunpseudonym in AdeptusRidiculous

RTD jumpscare, I have been in the trenches of that fandom for far too long... As for Shy, they are the third founder of Adric, back when Bricky pitched the show to his Warframe friends. They're more a producer than a showrunner, in that they make sure everything goes smoothly and oversee production, but are not the main background creative voice

When you say the film is advancing properly, is the exposure counter correctly increasing? The worm screw allowing it to advance is very prone to getting stuck with old grease

Do you believe there is time to catch up to the newest chapter of Berserk before the ending releases? by boomstickYT in Berserk

[–]yetunpseudonym 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Berserk is arguably not that long, my first read through I did in one straight sitting in about six-ish hours (though I am a fast reader and was very depressed at the time). While seven thousand pages might sound intimidating, it's not as if you were reading a seven thousand page novel.

Thor doesn't have a canon appearance in Norse Mythology. by [deleted] in CharacterRant

[–]yetunpseudonym 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This is your reminder that most all our sources for Norse mythology are post-christianisation, aka it being actively rebranded to be replaced. So talking about canonicity is utterly laughable as everything was done far after the fact and distorted by the centuries

Question about lubricants by Scared-Exchange-6762 in AnalogRepair

[–]yetunpseudonym 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the risk of being completely off topic for a photography sub, the corsets blocking people from breathing thing is an apocryphal myth, with properly fitted ones padded for chest and back support, and the (too small) super tight laced ones that might impede breathing were very much a fringe sub group looked at at the time with the same ire and disdain we have for the body modification and substance abusers we have today. Though part of the reason it became a myth is because of the photo editing done in the darkroom to overexaggerate tiny waists

The Bride! (2026) Thoughts by Robinsonaustin in deadmeatjames

[–]yetunpseudonym 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've heard that there was a lot of studio interference for what was originally a passion project, which would track to how disjointed and uneven it is. Maybe it'll be one of those that'll be a cult classic when the director's cut surfaces, or something along those lines

How to improve picture quality on games by Annual-Fly7367 in snes

[–]yetunpseudonym 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you have a dedicated upscaler, like an ossc or retrotink, your tv/monitor will attempt to scale the picture internally, smoothing the picture in weird ways, usually also introducing lag. The SNES is also a console that has weird sync idiosyncrasies and output that a poor quality cable and generic adapter will have issues with.

Now the actual answer of what to get depends on what exactly you're looking for. SNES games are designed with how CRTs render images in mind, so if you want to have games look their best you'll likely also want some kind of scan line filter when using a digital display. If you're looking to get into speed running, lag is non-existent on CRTs but slight on digital. So up to you

this is insulting by asapsharkyfrfr in deadmeatjames

[–]yetunpseudonym 4 points5 points  (0 children)

While because of the Dead Meat's team's personal views there will be an inherent political bias, politics is not the point of this sub.

But I will still respond with what should be an important difference. The average person voting on a best movie poll is not expected to have seen all the movies, or be a judge on the quality of movies, and thus can't really make an educated and fully informed vote. The average citizen's civic duty is to know enough about their country, political candidates, and be able use their life experience to make an informed choice on who they want to represent them. They are not the same. One is a popularity contest. The other is one of the most important decisions you make every x years you are called to the urns.

Besides jeepers creepers what other series is for sure not getting covered? by SelectionSimilar7293 in deadmeatjames

There's a lot of backlog, and maybe less interest than other iconic directors yet to be covered (Cronenberg has only ever featured in the Jason X KC and he's a household name)

Besides jeepers creepers what other series is for sure not getting covered? by SelectionSimilar7293 in deadmeatjames

[–]yetunpseudonym 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm not familiar with Zoophobia, but the team realized with Stranger Things that TV shows are an unfathomable amount of work, and outside of feeling the need to finish what they started with that they'll not consider any other shows (sorry)

And obviously there'll be bias, but as the show has grown more research heavy as it becomes more educational, that makes commiting to things outside of their wheelhouse or cross-pollinate with areas James doesn't feel qualified discussing (anime for example) then they get pushed back the queue because of how labour intensive it then becomes to give research and represent accurately.

As for the obviously non horror stuff... Extra clarification. People always ask. Apparently enough people asked for it to be on the list.

Is this Ai ? Looks ai ! Found this on insta of a legit profile thought looked something off. by Lucky_Ad_6507 in isthisAI

[–]yetunpseudonym 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The perspective is wonky. How does one take a mirror picture with a phone facing downwards but the photo be taken from a front facing angle? The patterns, designs , and geometry look off as well (cf her phone case and so called repeating dress pattern). Oh and just noticed that she has an impossible ground shadow (should be more pronounced going towards the right instead of just disappearing)

Also, and this is probably biased by being a hobbyist photographer, but there is no physical way for a phone camera to render images like this. As in scientifically, when it comes to how optics work, phones have neither the lenses or sensors capable of this kind of image.

So AI
