As you can see, I'm managing to combine both at the moment. I do have a couple of ideas about how to do something interesting regarding the multiple exposures but not necessarily conventional approaches....

Sadly, even today, the zealots are trying to make some Brexit capital out of the crisis so the lunatic isolationist project is still very much in play. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/coronavirus-brexit-dominic-raab-uk-cuba-foreign-secretary-a9406736.html

Or 10%, -8%, 2%, 7% and then finally 5%

The UK Government has just stepped up to the plate with a similar financial aid package, pledging 15% of the UK's GDP to bridge gaps. I'm sure there will be some devil in the details (particularly for one man band self employed people) but on the surface this is will come as a huge relief for millions of people affected. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-51935467

I have an MC21 but its the Sigma SA to L version so its Sigma lenses only and on the FP whilst they do work I can't get the OIS working on them so I need to dig into that a bit, though I suspect its because the two lenses in question aren't on the compatibility list. @Andrew Reid has the EF version and has been using it on the S1 and FP with EF lenses so hopefully he will break cover long enough to comment. Here is a video of someone using it on the FP with a couple of non Sigma EF lenses in the meantime. As a more general look at how the adapter copes with a broader variety of non-Sigma lenses this uses quite a wide range of them on an S1and a crowd sourced list of tested Sigma and non-Sigma lenses and how they perform on it on the S1. https://www.tttphotography.com/sigma-mc-21-ef-l-lens-adapter-compatibility/ As always with these things though, the difference between stills and video mode is where all the performance caveats live.

We've got three countdown clocks going on while we are sat locked in the house. When we left Japan on the 8th of March. When we transited through Madrid airport on the 9th of March where not one precaution was in place by officials or staff and a bunch of people were coughing their heads off on the connecting flight to Alicante. When we went to our local supermarket which had about 3 people in it (all of us wearing gloves) to buy some Frosties on the 15th of March. I'll be honest and say I'm far more bothered about clock number 2 but with this thing it might easily be clock number 3 so I'll be wracked with angst until that one finishes. And then it will be clock number 4 when I run out of Tony The Tiger's really ggggreat corn based breakfast treat and have to venture out for more. Having to live in 14 day cycles of uncertainty will be enough to make anyone a fatalist after a few rounds of it. Or at least to explore the possibility of switching to Crunchy Nut Cornflakes.

They are now attempting to gaslight the country that herd immunity wasn't on the cards despite them crowing about it last week. When this is all done, I hope that not only have the country developed herd immunity but also developed turd immunity so the country stops electing absolute shit to lead them. They can't sloganeer, focus group, war game and micro target Facebook ads their way out of this one.

The contrast between Macron's handling of this in France yesterday and Johnson's in the UK couldn't have been more stark. While Macron offers up a €300 Billion aid package and vows that no company will be left to go bankrupt, Johnson tells everyone not to go to pubs, restaurants, theatres etc but doesn't enforce their closure thereby leaving them unable to claim on their insurance and dooming them to bankruptcy. Along with everyone over the age of 70, my mother is now confined to home for a period of 3 months from this weekend with absolutely zero plan on how food supplies and visits will be organised and managed for her and the other residents of the sheltered accomodation complex she lives in. The centre did manage to have enough of a plan to ban their bingo game in the lounge last night for contravening the social gathering restrictions though. Good luck to everyone on here, particularly those in countries without adults in charge.

I'm guessing he's referring to activating it using the Android app that I wrote a while ago that is linked in this post. I don't have a G9 so can't offer any advice over how it responds.

Not sure if this was a question specifically for me ? I don't have a 5D Mark iii so better leave the specifics to those who do - particularly around usability/practicality - but, yeah, the image quality is certainly there from all I've seen of it.

Day 4 of lockdown confinement. Some projects have been looked at but now I've discovered marble racing videos then I may have no need of any distraction. Sound on so you can hear the commentary and I defy you not to get invested in Comet's performance here

Keep the little fellas safe though.

No, I know. Germany has a specific foreign trade law to scrutinise and prohibit takeovers from non-EU countries if it threatens national security and order. https://www.pinsentmasons.com/out-law/guides/germanys-foreign-investment-regime The issue at hand really is whether he tried rather than whether he was thwarted Scooby Doo style by the meddling of those pesky kids.

The German government are taking the report seriously enough to be discussing it today in their crisis meeting so we will see what we see. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/mar/16/not-for-sale-anger-in-germany-at-report-trump-seeking-exclusive-coronavirus-vaccine-deal A cynic might wonder why if such a report as this, with attributed comments from named German politicians is indeed "fake news", why a certain someone who is so enamoured of that phrase isn't tweeting precisely that. With caps locks on and many, many exclamation marks. Great exclamation marks. The best exclamation marks ever, in fact.

And yet here we are. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/mar/15/trump-offers-large-sums-for-exclusive-access-to-coronavirus-vaccine

Probably worth pointing out to younger readers that "Kiki Wipes" are not, as the name might otherwise suggest, an alternative product with which to circumvent the current toilet paper shortage.

I've seen her demo the Tricaster at various shows in the recent past so I think she still works for them. And combining both aspects, here she is talking about another application of NDI

Looking forward to seeing the results of the time lapse and milky way project @Trek of Joy My milky way project will mainly be eating the chocolate variety whilst not achieving anything on my list.

Yeah, a Community Video project. We could call it COVID-20. No, hang on.

If you haven't already, I'd offer a nudge towards investing some of that research time into NDI. Although its core use is to simplify video connections into a hardware or software switcher via a LAN (there are hardware adapters and apps to bring in regular cameras, PTZ cameras, phones and computers) with low latency, it also means that the sources and the switcher can be in entirely different locations using an NDI cloud service. As PTZ is part of the protocol this means you can do full remote production without requiring operators at the event. A lot of information is generally skewed towards Newtek switchers (as they invented the protocol) but there are much more affordable software options such as vMix that integrate it. https://www.ndi.cloud/secure.html https://www.vmix.com/ndi/

It will double up as a worldwide wide angle lens test as well !

I've bought so much of it that when the lockdown is lifted I'll be having to do some urban combat tactics for laxative purchasing to make sure I get the stockpile down !

'World Cup' was probably the wrong term as they are only held once every 4 years and I've managed to hoard enough lenses over the years to make it a daily event !

My municipality is now in lockdown with travel restricted in and out and all bars, cafes, restaurants and leisure facilities closed. I'm pretty sure that it will last much longer than the 14 days currently decreed by the regional President and that we won't be fully back to normal for many months. Being confined to the house isn't too much of an issue for us work wise as we both work from here anyway (though boy did I get out of being a professional sports photographer at the right time as I would be fucked) but it does mean needing something else to fill up the non-working hours to stop us getting cabin fever. I'm guessing that a lot of people on here might well be about to experience similar confinement if they aren't already, so, trying to make lemonade out of lemons, what long put off projects will you be doing ? For me, aside from finishing a couple of the latter Final Fantasy games to get me sharp for the release of the VII remake next month , I think I might look at : Making a start on learning some Unreal Engine stuff Re-wiring/configuring my music studio Having a couple of lens world cup shootouts to try and thin the collection Developing a wireless interface for BM ATEM switchers Advanced urban combat tactics for hand sanitiser purchasing Be interesting to see what people are planning and seeing how those plans progress here to keep our spirits up ? Might even be a good time to have a "One Single Room In Your House Film Challenge"

Unfortunately, one of the reported cases is two streets away ! I might drive up to Vera as it looks like that isn't in lockdown and if there is anything that will scare this virus away its the sight of me and a bunch of other fat Brits playing beach volleyball in the nude.
