    dahlfors reacted to Dave Maze in a7S II "3d" Music Video   
    I just wanted to share a fun passion project I just finished for an artist named "Fleurie". We shot all this in my living room and I did all the VFX in Apple Motion 5. Shot 4k with a7SII but delivered HD (my computer wouldn't handle 4k 3d graphics well). Just thought I'd share! Let me know if you have any questions about it. I had fun making it

    Are you actually here for help? People have given you advices but you're not willing to try anything new because it's a "shitty camera you will never buy."

    dahlfors reacted to Inazuma in Sony A6300 review (rolling) - Striking image but nagging issues   
    No idea where you read conflicting reports. The a6300's 1080p doesn't touch the detail of the GH4 (or other panasonic cameras) unfortuantely   It's similar to Canon and Nikon DSLR's.
    Oh here's a useful chart from dpreview.

    dahlfors got a reaction from Flynn in Is there a way to turn off the forum automatically bringing up a comment   
    @Andrew Reid might be able to disable the features.
    I've had that issue where it's impossible to enter anything in the text field as well. I can't recall exactly what I did - but the issue is that the forum uses a client-side javascript which is buggy. Since it's client-side, I was able to fix the issue by using the browser inspector in Chrome (I do web development, so I could easily pinpoint the issue).

    dahlfors reacted to sanveer in How to Kill Piracy by 2017   
    What a ridiculous idea.
    Corporations run countries like the US. All sorts of human rights violations already take place on a Huge Scale, despite the Plethora of Human Rights Laws.
    If Corporations are given a Free Fun (like with Private Prisons in the US), almost everyone who is not buying thousands in music and films will be in jail. Regardless of who commits piracy.
    Also a huge population of young children indulge in piracy. I am not sure I would want corporations handling them.
    A study by Harvard University Students not too long ago showed that Piracy actually helps draw traffic for sales for music and movies. So people opposing Piracy are also people who are either genuinely uninformed, or part of Corporate Greed.
    I don't support Piracy. But giving Corporations more teeth is suicidal for human rights.
    Also, Interestingly the Biggest Plagiarists are the Corporations/ Studios/ Uber Riche. Did you read about how Getty Images has been indulging in some terrible levels of piracy and monopolising Public IP of late (it is rightly being sued by a photographer whose worked it stole and then attempted to Blackmail her for using her own pics). When Large Corporations are given teeth, they usually go on a criminal rampage.

    The 3 EOSHD Moderators jgharding, jonpais and myself jointly in unison have given Ebrahim Saadawi 2 warning points for fraudulently scamming 3 EOSHD members and making bogus/false posts on the forum
    He is now restricted to only reading threads and making personal messges to the 3 EOSHD members he fraudulenty scammed.
    He must fully repay them asap.
    This thread is now Locked.

    Posting to confirm this was discussed by all moderators and was chosen as the best solution to both allow the problem to be solved by all parties involved, and minimise the negative impact on the wider EOSHD community.
    Please take extra care when trading privately online.
    Stay safe and keep making this the best camera forum around! Peace out x

    Guys. A few deep breaths might be helpful. Believe me, I am as angry as anyone here and I want to be compensated. Ebrahim has committed himself to do something about that in the coming day, and providing evidence of it. We shall see about that quickly enough.
    Regardless, there is the issue of proportionality one how one should respond, certainly if you're not directly affected. Who decides what the 'punishment' should be and who should deliver it? I think @dhessel made some similar remarks. I feel this community (and it's administrators) can decide how to deal with the situation here. Whether that means a ban or keeping this thread on the site can be debated.
    Reaching out to a large pool of strangers (Ebrahim's contacts) and dragging them into this mess might be a bit much at this point, though. But that's just my 2 cents ... (or actually $275...blegh).

    A crime was committed here and all the people ripped off need refunding until that is done we should not be so quick to forgive, ES has to make good on his word to pay everyone back. , as they still may not get their money back there is no guarantee of that . Andrew Reid can be the final say on ES and his fate on this site.

    Emanuel, he's probably an undiagnosed pathological or compulsive liar.
    This is a real, medical condition.  
    I'm sure the sister's story is false.  But that doesn't mean we can now keep attacking him while he is in a very fragile emotional state.
    Yes he brought this upon himself by stealing thousands of dollars, but now, we can get, without the corrupt Egyptian police the end goal : money back to those he scammed.
    Isn't that the end goal?
    Or do you want to see him rot in an Egyptian jail?
    Or get disavowed from his family.
    Use empathy.
    Understand he's in Egypt, they have a different set of rules.
    How would you feel if he killed himself?  Or went to jail?
    Would you feel better?
    No, revenge is fleeting.  At first it feels great, but then after a while, you feel like a D-bag and regret what you did when you were younger.

    Incredible. 
    I always had the impression Ebrahim Snr was the main user of the account, due to the impressive knowledge, warm and fairness of his comments. It really didn't match this 19 year old beginner/noob thing. 
    Did Ebrahim really go to all this effort of posting very helpful information for 3 years - just to gain the trust of an online community and scam them for just a bit of money? Baffling. Absolutely baffling. 
    I'd do this: 
    1. Submit a video message of yourself and your Grandfather together. 
    2. Submit some of your portfolio work and any proof of directing credits. 
    3. Submit any websites/imagery of your media company - behind the scenes? Projects? Anything? 
    If I was convicted of being a scammer, I could do all the above in 20 minutes. It would go a long way to actually show us you're a genuine person who is in fact says who he is. 
    Myself, like most other people, don't want to mix with anybody involved in criminal activity. 
    All other forum topics are dying because of this thread being stuck at the top. I feel sorry for Andrew. It's not fair. 
    Let's clean this up, nice and fairly, shall we?

    Ebrahim, you keep talking about how sad and depressed you are because you have lost your credibility in this community. Why are you not doing anything to gain it back? You are just making yourself look worse and worse everytime you write here because you're not answering anyones questions. At least not the important ones.
    If everything you say is true, just provide the evidence that people here want to see and no one would have to be bothered with this anymore.

    Ebrahim, I tried sending an email to you earlier. If you want help about finding out about account access on Facebook, contact me here and you can get my email address / skype or other suitable option. There will be interesting data to pick out from that data dump.
    I'll be away on vacation the full upcoming next week, but before Sunday I can give you all the advice I can. (I'd recommend you to NOT give that data dump to me or anyone else - but to a very trusted programmer if you can find one near you in person. But I can give advice on the process).

    Nice thread at least since it made me read up, do the math and learn something new:
     
    For a person living in Paris you would need to touch a lens emitting 5 microsievert/hour at a minimum of an hour every day, 365 days/year to reach the same level as the yearly background radiation here in Stockholm. Who would have thought?

    Hi Aaron
    I posted on page 7 about the review...SLR Magic sent him one to review...maybe one of the indications that this was'nt Ebrahim at all, as the seller claimed they paid 599 for it and were losing money selling at 250...also posted weird "will you buy me a drone and ship it to me from the US" Ebrahim post....unnoticed in the feeding frenzy, but indications to me seem to point to the fact, that this is not the same person...the language completely differs...Ebrahim's knowledge of cameras and technical aspects of filming run too deep for a scam artist to be having arguments/discussions with other members about a highly technical subject...most importantly, if you're really curious, read his drone buying request  to Jonesy Jones...definately not written by Ebrahim, so whatever this is, it started a while back...

    Notice how calm the thread starter (and victim of a scam) has been throughout this thread?
    I think it would be great if Ebrahim Sr and Timotheus would have a calm one-on-one call by themselves to try to figure and possibly sort things out. No need to make this into a reality show. If everything said by Timotheus and Ebrahim Sr is true, they're probably both going through some shitty times.

    man this thread is disgusting, getting enjoyment from someone being scammed and a long time respected member either behind it or worse being publicly shamed and accused while they themselves might be victims as well. So all of you can enjoy this, savor the misfortune of others and continue to concoct your wild theories. If someone hacks my account is this what is in store for me too? How about all of you? I would remind you that this isn't a movie, there are real lives involved and non of us know what really happened.

    Joining a site in December 2013, then put in the effort of writing more than 2000 posts in a forum for two and a half years, to do six scams worth of a few thousand USD? If you want to scam, I think you could have as well done that after the first 300 posts or so...
