    Cinegain got a reaction from kye in Video quality is terrible when playing but cleans up when I pause - WTF?   
    Browser thingie. There's also differences with Chrome, FireFox and others with HDR content on YouTube. I found that one browser kept it flat and didn't apply HDR grading if you will to make it pop. Funny enough... when you would scroll over the timeline with your mouse, you get these little thumbnails/framegrabs... and those were. Not sure why Netflix doesn't just rely on an app/software on one's computer.

    I've heard... that the best kind of labour is child labour. They need a healthy break from Minecraft anyways. ? To learn about something wholesome, like pulling focus.

    Had an interesting afternoon of working on a development that means that functionality will be coming to a right camera near you in the near future.

    We're nearing towards the end of the year... many of us are on the sprint towards the finish line, it's a busy period. That and certain constraints... means not everyone is able or willing to participate. Instead of a contest... it should perhaps be... as per the title of the thread a 'challenge'. Like with all social media challenges and memes, there's no real contest with winners and losers (which is btw another reason people might not enter, afraid of the judging, plain bad comments (opposed to constructive criticism) and coming in last (perhaps unfounded fear, but existent nontheless)), it's just... a challenge, meant to challenge oneself. Be it the cinnamon challenge... bottle flipping... or ones to bring awareness to good causes such as the ice bucket challenge. It's about getting out of your comfort zone, experiencing something new, pushing yourself and most of all: to participate... not to be 'init to win it', but just for fun, to have a certain commonality with other individuals that enjoy doing something different and perhaps a bit random. Instead of something being cleverly thought out as a contest... maybe indeed just let people run with it as they please as a challenge, the only rule being 'shot on a Soviet prime', keep it year round for all I'm concerned, until with any challenge it sorta settles itself and a new thing comes along... say the 'FD lens challenge' or what have you. All that said. I do appreciate putting in the time and effort that went into organizing this to strengthen the community around here. ☺️?

    Cinegain got a reaction from User in Large Format Cameras Are Changing Film Language, From ‘Joker’ to ‘Midsommar’   
    No way. Bar Iakwe! ? I always said I wanted to retire and start a diving school at Bikini Atoll. Bikini (of which its existence I found out by randomly placing a finger on a spinning globe as a little kid), of course known for a couple of things, like the two-piece bathing suit, Godzilla and Spongebob Squarepants. The latter two of course greatly affected by nuclear bomb tests (by now the radiation ain't too bad). There's also sunken boats and planes which has made a great home to marine wildlife and made it a great spot for diving.

    Seeing The Hateful Eight as Ultra Panavision 70mm Roadshow was quite epic.
    For us mere mortals though... I don't even want dedicate myself to an APS-C let alone FF ecosystem. For me MFT hits the sweetspot. Panasonic, Olympus, Blackmagic, Kinefinity etc are doing great things. You keep the option of frankenrigging it and adapting any sort of lens. At the same time... there's class leading IBIS, best features in the game (Panasonic with internal 10-bit as well as offering 60p in 4K), great ergonomics & reliability and the option of having really small and light lenses to go with it when that's what the situation calls or allows for that day. People can keep their LF. But... if someone is willing to go through all the trouble of acquiring in LF... hey, have at it! I'm sure I will thoroughly enjoy it!

    I wholeheartedly agree with your view. I shoot wedding mostly and my main focal is 50 and 100 but I will always have another tele in my kits no matter what. You never know when you have a photographer with 35mm during ceremony or bunch of guest with iphones.
    My idea of minimalism is the least amount of gear to get the job done, not trying to make it work with whatever because I'm too lazy to bring another 1kg.

    Just purchased an SLR Magic hyperprime 25mm T0.95 and 10mm T2.1!
    Next purchase (maybe today) will be the Z-Cam E2. I have been wanting an internal ProRes cam for a while, and the 10 bit 4K 120 h265 looks great too. With the SLR Magics I should be able to fake a full frame look. Can't wait to test it all out - I'll post results.

    Dunno... like a watch collection or any collection for that matter... it can get outta hands. But you just want to be covered for any type of occassion to be able to match the mood. Of course it depends if making the right call comes naturally to you. Indecisiveness can cause anxiety and unproductiveness, sure. If you're a handyman with a toolbox full of tools and you need to put a nail in the wall, you don't have to really contemplate what tool to use for the task at hand. However. If the toolbox is only equiped with a screwdriver and no hammer... it can be the case that you just made your job a little harder to pull off. I'm not saying you should always have all your options to your disposal at any given time. But you can be selective with what you bring along based on what you're expected you'll need on site, which you can get quite clear about beforehand. Or if you want another analogy (yeah, that's kinda my thing)... imagine karaoke night... but instead of having a folder with lists and lists of songs to choose from... there's only two songs.
