    graphicnatured reacted to Ed_David in How I got scammed through "Ebrahim Saadawi"   
    here's details on him - the younger one at least - goes to the  Faculty of Dentistry
    Lives in Mansoura, Egypt
    His dad seems to be a radiologist (physician)
    Makes sense, the younger one couldn't cut it in med school, so goes to dentist school.
    I think using this info and geotagging facial recognition software with all his photos you can find his friends and then find him.
    He doesn't work professionally in film, so he has no reputation to keep there.
     
    So all you can do is embarass him at his school and his dental practice if he has one and then shame him with his father and his business and probably find the whole family.
    I'm probably guessing his dad doesn't know this is giong on, so reach out to the dad on nofilmschool and find other ways to contact the dad.
     
    Unless there is an explanation.
    But anyway, you can ruin his reputation and really embarass the shit out of him with his dad.  Who will probably give him a good spanking.

    Okay now it's time to let the world know about this and ruin his reputation in the filmmaking world unless he explains himself.

    graphicnatured got a reaction from Zak Forsman in 5 reasons why I will be getting a Panasonic GH5   
    I hear all those Pocket gripes and I've experienced all of them, but I have a GH4, Pocket and Micro and the GH4 sits on the shelf. The image on those little cams is so much better IMO. If I need the extra slow mo I'd use it or borrow the FS7 from work, but when I look back at a whole summer of footage from last year the GH4 shots mixed with the Pocket the GH4 shots stand out and not in a good way. I guess if I didn't shoot with both maybe I wouldn't have a problem with it. And it definitely is the batteries on the Pocket. Like Renaissance Man, sounds like Wasabi Power or other cheap batteries. All my cheapie give me issues. Even are hard to get out of the battery compartment.

    preliminary test is wiping out the lines 100%. 

    1. Shot gray card out of focus at a light level that seemed to maximize the vertical lines.
    2. Brought that clip into DaVinci and used Temporal NR to remove noise, leaving the lines intact. Raised it to 50 IRE. Removed all color. Then applied the inverted color LUT.
    3. Exported that as a single frame 12bit dpx.
    4. Re-imported and applied as a matte. Layer mixer set to Overlay blending mode.

    and that's it. right now there is a slight shift in gain. which means I need to dial in how neutral the 50% gray is. it's a little too bright right now. I want to get it so it doesn't affect anything but the lines. Also wondering if I could use a luminance secondary to limit it just to the shadows.

    Luckily mine doesn't have the magenta vignette problem. I feel bad for the people who are having the problem b/c Blackmagic isn't really acknowledging it. I've tried to help out alot of users who are using the same lenses as me to figure out if there's is defective. It's pretty obvious when it is. If they can get that problem sorted out it's gonna be a huge hit. I love the Micro camera too. The images look great.

    Dug up an old thread to share some screen shots from a 4.6K video I just shot for photographer Daniel Kelleghan. Full video should be up Monday. I'm so blown away everytime I use the camera. The color and DR is just insane.
    Shot in ProRes UHD with the Sigma 18-35.

    You can buy stick-on buttons in various colours that will likely fit.  maybe look for stick on rubber feet for hi-fi furniture and the like.

    Been shooting with the Micro for over a week and have shot a ton with the Pocket, which I love. So far, I like what I see out of the Micro and the obvious plusses like 60p and battery life. As Andrew pointed out earlier, the buttons suck. I'm getting better with them, but the record button seems to suck way more than all the others which is just plain unfortunate. There are times when inside my wooden cage (which also sucks) that I fumble around trying to start or stop recording. Major pain in the ass. This wooden cage is going into the spare parts drawer for when I need some mounting options for something McGyvered. Once I do some edits I'll share footage.

    Astral photography isn't the first thing I think of when I consider the type of photographer I am, but the experience of researching and going to this spot and tirelessly researching the techniques it took to get this shot I think really does sum me up. This is why I love this forum and what Andrew has done with EOSHD. I'm constantly reading what you all share and love the community aspect of being a creative person in this day and age. I very easily could've died getting this shot as I almost was bitten by a rattlesnake in the dark when helping another photographer with her camera settings. Makes it an even more memorable experience for me.

     I'm always down to do some shooting. From what I've seen online they look pretty similar. I'm stoked on the obvious frame rate and battery situation, but it will be interesting to see if an IR cut is still necessary. Anyone know?

    Thanks for the info. I've been carrying 6-8 batteries per shoot. It wouldn't be that big of a deal, but the Wasabi Power ones get stuck in the battery compartment, which doesn't look too professional. Here's me over in the corner using tools to extract a stupid battery. This should help a bit. I was tempted to just go with a V-mount solution since I have a bunch, but this is way better weight and size-wise.
