  • the Vaiṣṇava Jayākhya Saṃhitā calls yogis “cruel beings” and classifies them together with evil-doers, the demonic dead (bhūtas), and zombies (vetālas).4 Even today, sinister yogis are stock villains in Bollywood film plots, and as soon as one ventures out from the subcontinent's metropolitan areas, yogis are such objects of dread and fear that parents threaten disobedient children with them: “Be good or the yogi will come and take you away.” Yogis are bogeymen, control freaks, cannibals, and terror mongers.

    "but I need the eggs". La-de-da.

    Woody was fond of trope-embedding. Annie Hall was his best at that, similar in many ways to Young Fankenstein. Though I think "I need the eggs" was an original Woody contribution.

    Annie Hall also inserted the phrase "Marshall McLuhan Moment" into the language (at least in my commuity). I have been fortunate enough to have seen it in action in reality, when a youngster asks a question about some famous chip at a conference and the developer of said chip stands up and says "meet me afterwards".

    I haven't been hanging in these parts long, but it seems to me that civility breaks down when pricing/cost is interjected into a discussion.

    Everything has a price, even civility. Weird word it is....that civility

  • @eross said:
    Yes, I think we should dedicate at thread for discussing app pricing (for those that wish to do so.)

    Shhhhhhh....let's not talk about pricing or the developers will realise how cheap these apps are...

  • I'm as much a 'Nikon-Freak' as I am an 'Apple Freak' so my next 'walk-around' camera will be the newly released Nikon DL 24-85 f/1.8-f/2.8 for those moments I don't wan't to drag along the D600 or when I need a bit higher quality than the my current iPhone 5 delivers.

    Mine was cool because it had the rotating flash cube!

    I remember those cubes, you could throw them against the wall and they would flash. :p

  • A couple of years ago I rationalised my digital cams: Can they shoot good video in 25i or 50p preferably with stabilisation? The expensive answer was none! I had to get actual camcorders to fix that.

    The Nikon D7000 I’d previously saved up a lot for was only capable of 1080p24, but the NEX3n I had since then as a pocket camera has 25p or 50i. But! Neither of those had clean hdmi output (like the camcorders can). The Sony RX10 however has full-bandwidth full bit-depth 1080i50 or 1080p25 clean hdmi output! It’s all about the video for me now.

    About video making I've been using canon 5dmkII(one you get black lantern overriding the default firmware it gets definitely good), c100 and c300. Gotta say I rather prefer the easy hands on of the c100(and much more compact size) rather than the c300. Gotta say tho that the thing where you place your eye(can't remember how is it named in English) of the 100 is completely unusable by any extent.

    The viewfinder, or the eye-cup. A lot of pro video cams are unusable for me as I’m left-eye dominant, which is how I should be as I’m left handed.

  • edited February 2016

    Viewfinder! Right!
    Most of this cams are supposed to work along with a(depending on the budget bigger, smaller, better, worse)external monitor. Otherwise the c100 would be completely worthless.

    tried to remove my images since this isn't really a photo site... but the edit won't let me delete them. sry

  • Try something like this, sometime.
    JVC MV-P602 inside outside composite

    It’s a composite of two sets of stacked-focus images. This involves taking a macro photograph at several increments of focus from front to back, to get almost everything in there somewhat sharp at least once. I think these were five steps, but in actual fact I should have increased that to more. The set of stacked focus images was then taken into Enfuse (or can be done in Hugin, which uses Enfuse) and this “hunts” for the most focused areas of each image and fuses them all together to produce an aggregate of total maximal sharpness.

    This one is a stacked focus set:
    6abovelokeyoutside0000-6abovelokeyoutside0005
    and so is this:
    7abovelokeyinside0000-7abovelokeyinside0004
    and they were then composited in the usual masking and alpha channel manner with a wacom.

    @u0421793 - I would love to get your take as compared to the PreCambrian era.

    The fossil record doesn’t contain much evidence of civility. If we go further back, we may find that life forms evolved that were able to consume other life forms. This would have been in the water. The means of consumption would by process of selection favour the “front” of the organism, given a dominant direction of movement.

    Later, sensory organs would evolve, again, around the “front” end where the mouth is. The senses would have been weak electrical and chemical, and much later, small areas skin would develop photosensitivity, and transparency and evolve into rudimentary lenses and sensors (which has happened over and over — it’s an available pattern).

    Given that there’s limited visibility at most depths underwater, visibility would be limited to the quite near range, yet offer some advantage to no visibility at all. It was at this point that evaluation of perception would evolve, and response to that evaluation would also evolve.
    ...
    The next most sophisticated level of response, given the binary choice of “act”, is how to act. Typically, this would be go toward the perceived stimuli, go away from it, or go round it (lefty-forwards, or righty-forwards). If you wish to eat it or have sex with it, go toward it. If it will eat you, go away from it. If it presents no threat or opportunity but is in the way, go around it. Choose whether to go this way round it, or the other way round it.

    And that ladies and gentlemen brings us up to the present day, which is as far as we’ve got with this sophistication thing.

    ... 500 million years later, in his experiments in underwater photography in the 1890s, Louis Boutan – a French zoologist and a pioneer underwater photographer - used a cumbersome magnesium lamp (a glass jar).
    1930 The first photos using the american "Sashalite" flashbulb were published by The 'Morning Post. The pictures were of the engine-room and other compartments of a submarine.

  • I'm putting a medium format lens up for sale on ebay over the weekend - a Zenzanon-E 150mm F3.5. For some reason I have two identical, so one has to go. Then later, the other, and the ETRSi+75mm.

    Anyone on here still shooting Medium Format?

  • I dont really get the poll, so i wont vote on it. I dont understand the whole topic properly, but ill ramble.

    I havent been here for too long, so i dont know what this place used to be like, so no comments on that.

    Other forums on internet are often largely habitated by teenagers, who cry about stupid crap, say stupid and ignorant crap, rage about stupid crap or what ever uncivilized crap they do. I havent seen that kind of stuff on this forum. Ofc there are other civilized forums as well, but this is definitely one of the most well behaved ones.

  • @ToMess said:

    Same here. Sounds like there might be a backstory, there.

    @ToMess also said:

    Agreed! Been rather surprised by this, to be honest. Age may be a factor, but it’s also about community management. IMHO, @Sebastian does a great job of chiming in at the right time while remaining pretty hands-off in most situations.

    Perhaps the most surprising thing about this forum, and one which isn’t obvious to the outside, is that it covers a whole range of things which have little to do with Audiobus. People behind other apps would likely require their forums to stick to the topic at hand (their respective apps). But the threads here cover a fairly large variety of topics and people aren’t even discouraged from venturing off-topic. Will probably use this as an example in class, at some point.

    Even before (re)discovering this forum, had been thinking quite a bit about the whole iOS musicking ecosystem, with AB as a key part of it. The list of AB-savvy apps is quite impressive and this forum has become a place to discuss many of them. Surely, there are fora out there for some important music apps. But there might be more insight about them in threads about them in this forum. For instance, a DuckDuckGo search about Korg’s iWavestation app brought me here, a few weeks ago. Found much deeper coverage than anywhere related to Korg.

    At this point, this forum’s search engine is my go-to tool when trying to learn more about an app (after hearing about it through discchord or Palm Sounds). There’s a new cool musicking app on iOS? Will listen for what people on the Audiobus forum have to say about it. It’s often a nice complement to the videos people post about that tool because you get diverse viewpoints.

    Having said that, this forum could lead to budgeting issues. Too many cool apps, including some which are only going to be released later at an unknown price point.

    I have hasselblad 500 c/m. Havent used it in years tho, kinda waiting for me to find something i need the money for. So not really interested on that lens(also i dont think it fits hassy)

    And cuz music and photography:

    Very interesting topic! It seems many of you are engaged in photography. Recently I found http://fixthephoto.com/blog/tech-tips/best-camera-for-amateur-photographer.html Are these good tips for beginners?

    Not at all. It is entirely badly-written (or badly translated) bullshit. Ignore it.

  • I’d recommend hanging around https://www.photo.net and also join https://www.flickr.com and participate in some of the groups there – they’re fairly sane places to discuss and learn from. Don’t spend time at the forums at https://www.dpreview.com – those forums are full of arseholes trying to prove something to each other, and you’ll end up feeling depressed in a matter of minutes.

  • Also, my recommendation for which camera to get is to get a camera. That’s it. Photography is a lot more difficult without one. With a camera (even if it is your phone) it becomes a lot easier. Which camera? That’s a minor detail, once you start acquiring cameras you’ll know what to look for next, but to start, pretty much anything will do.

    Best for beginners is an used dslr. Which one, it depends on many things. First question is the sensor size. Cheaper models have 1.5x or 1.6x crop sensor, which essentially maker focal length longer and depth of field(background blur) smaller. Canon also makes 1.3x crp factor cameras(1d series) which is a nice medium between full frame and this 1.6x "consumer" crop. I have been using 1.3x crop camera for long because its wider than 1.6x, allows easier setting of depth of field, but using something like 50mm 1.4 lens in low light, i find full frame sensort bit too shallow depth of field. But its great for wide angle.

    Remember that amount of megapixels is not relevant really, 4mp is enough megapixels for computer viewing and small prints. I would recommend around 10mp(more just means you need more storage). Personally if i were looking for a budget camera now, i would start with canon 5d mki, 50mm 1.8 lens and split image focus screen, used they should go about 300-330€ together. However original 5d is quite old, so its only 8mp, has max iso of 3200(and more noise than todays cameras), but its a full frame pro camera that gives good results in good light(not that good in dark cuz old) and allows good manipulation of depth of field, wide lenses are really wide etc. This isnt the right choise for everyone tho.

    Whats your budget and what you wantto photograph?

    Generally, very decent. Much better than elsewhere. I long ago gave up on anti-social media, due to dopes and trolls. Here, we all sometimes have strong opinions, but usually we manage to express them civilly....

    ...and on those occasions where someone is looking for a fight, or professionally offended, we can just stop posting on that thread and get on with making music
