    • Happy Thursday Everyone, I've created some cool new metal texture images and uploaded them onto this page on my site: TXR - METAL - (Tile-able) https://soundimage.org/txr-metal-seamless/ As always, they're 100% free to use with attribution, just like my thousands of other images, music tracks and sounds. Speaking of which, I have... BIG NEWS -- FREE HIGHER-QUALITY OGG TRACKS ARE ON THEIR WAY! For those of you who use my music tracks, specifically my looping ones... Wordpress apparently now supports Ogg music files, so I'm in the process of replacing all my looping Mp3 tracks on my site with even higher-quality Ogg versions! Besides sounding more rich and full, the Ogg versions always loop seamlessly in game engines...(Mp3 files sometimes need to be edited...this is due to the Mp3 encoding process which sometimes discards a tiny bit of audio information at the looping point...very annoying.) Anyhow, I'm very excited to be able to make the higher-quality Ogg versions available to my fellow creatives! Standard tracks (and those that don't have to loop seamlessly) will remain in Mp3 format so video creators can use them... (Premiere doesn't seem to support the Ogg format.) For those of you who want to bulk-download all of my Ogg tracks at once, my Ogg Music packs will still be available. It's taking some time, but I'm making very good progress...hopefully I'll have all my looping game music tracks converted soon. Enjoy!  😄
    • I guess that people must have been complaining to Panasonic that the S9 was too affordable and they really needed the same thing, but more expensive.  😉
    • It does look really good and if it only had a mechanical shutter, it would be golden. Titanium golden to be precise.  
    • Unboxing here - I should say that it looks amazing.  
    • Art… Over the last couple of years I have become increasingly disillusioned by “video”. Far too much emphasis on gear. Buying the latest drone or gimbal or battery solution and upgrading this or that or, preferably, both. And to what end? To produce something that a handful of people will watch once on a phone screen? Last year I had the opportunity to produce a couple of short promotional films for a heritage steam railway. They got in the order of 10k views. Were they “art”? No, they were artistically dreadful. Was there any joy in making them? Not really - far too many hours sitting staring at a screen trying to remember how to use Resolve. (And, to be honest, the parts people liked most were the iPhone bits - the “artistic” sweeping views and thoughtful sequences were redundant…) All the time wondering whether a Canon might be better (whatever that means) than my Sony? A LUMIX better than my P6k? Or should I look good and get a RED badge? Or a Nikon? All, of course, irrelevant… the quality of today’s stuff is way more than what I’m capable of. So a change of scene. I’ve bought a M11M to produce art for the wall. Something which will last beyond a quick Vimeo view. It’s gorgeous to use. I got a mix of Leica and Voigtlander lenses (the latter’s 28/35/50 Apo are fabulous). The results are incredible. Ok, so I still need to sit at the computer with Capture One but protecting the highlights and pulling up the shadows reveals staggering levels of detail. And standing by the side of a Scottish loch debating whether to use a green, yellow, orange or red filter? Well, it ticks the pseudo-intellectual hipster box.  Of course, the P6k will come out of the cupboard every-so-often but the focus - the passion - is now on monochrome art.  Art. In both process and product.
