Snowfun

Sony A7S. The high iso made filming the aurora borealis in real time a reality. Definitely my film highlight of the decade.

The intellectual territory of the accomplished surgeon...

Can we swop Advent calendars please? I got a steam train this morning.

Choice. There really is something for everyone.

Blind Spot gear are worth looking at.

I don’t think any of my posts are clever enough to be misread for intelligence, artificial or otherwise.

Other than stills is there any compelling reason to put this above the C200 on the Christmas list?

The pogo pins on the back? The plan was to produce a module which added a much higher quality camera. Although there was an early photo of the unit, it was never revealed exactly what the module would be or do. In reality they didn’t do anything. Possibly an attachment to monitor Komodo?

Given that he alludes to health issues, that comment is rather disingenuous? Not a surprise that Hydrogen is being terminated. The non-release of the modules and, crucially, the lack of other viewing devices was always going to be a problem. Komodo must be about the same price as the new Canon... different markets perhaps but comparisons are inevitable?

In the spirit of Halloween we’re all playing dead. (Or getting over excited about the new way of getting rid of disposable income with the latest Canon) What makes a movie “scary”?

I’ll be getting my students to sex, age and otherwise identify a few (replica) human remains... but when one works in forensic medicine & science everyday is a bit Halloween!

I’ll just throw in one perspective - if you gain a Masters degree then you have a useful transferable qualification if your first choice career doesn’t take you in the direction you wish.

“Nothing to see”? The price tag certainly made me look twice. And then look away sharpish.

@kaylee what did you eventually do with the scene (bedroom?) with the camera heading skywards through the ceiling/roof? Sorry, I cant recall the details but it sounded a fun challenge you were confronted with and I wonder what you achieved. Any possibility of seeing the result? [Apologies - it’s off topic!]

@kaylee TenPole Tudor et al. Names from my past...

No matter what I sit down to listen to I always seem to end up listening to Green Day or the Pistols. Might be via Aida or Cash or Dylan or YT videos of the Barmy Army... but it’ll end in the same place.

Are the MFT SLR anamorphic really that bad? I’m often tempted even tho’ the x2 looks slightly absurd on P4k but have never got round to it. I don’t want the hassle of adapters etc etc so they have obvious attractions but if the image is as terrible as implied then maybe I should stay away.

In what? Look at the numbers of FS5/7 out there making stuff. Not to mention live broadcast. Arguably they are de facto number 1 in some areas? There is no single “number 1”. Just an awful lot of pedestals serving different markets.

Sony. There, I said it.

Stay positive, Zach. You’re not alone in having a psychiatric condition and it is part of who you are - it doesn’t define you but it’s just one aspect of “you”. Look at the history of creative individuals and you’ll find a splendid cornucopia of potential diagnoses. I was going to ask whether you were satisfied by the focus (viewed it without sound on public transport a while ago but didn’t get chance to watch it again).

Apologies - edited this as it refers to what we don’t want to discuss. Suffice to say it referenced scratched sunnies and the Newton...

Sony A5000 (£100) and Nikon 18-55 (£49). ...And justify the €12.99 or whatever it was you spent on some delectable objet d’art!

Someone lend me an Alexa and I bet I could prove that point..

I’m stealing that joke...

Picture with a GDU lens attached. AF?
