    The film is done.

    Really liking it, the visuals, mood, pacing and everything. Especially the shot of Pete with the neighbor. Just got confused by the Ed name tag as I supposed it was Pete's working outfit. Probably just missing an allusion or sumthin. Finally I know what has been wrong with me all along – the beard!

    Anyone else received their order? Doesn't seem to have been any recent updates on their kickstarter website.

    Did get a mail with them asking to spread the word via social media a few days ago and that said stuff is supposed to ship at the end of the month. Sure hope so, heading for Ireland next month and that's why I pledged originally.

    I saw one that was convertible not too long ago. You'd have to bend a thin piece of metal to curve it. Can't find it for the life of me.

    Probably this one, right? They pitched it on startnext.com, but it didn't get funded. Apparently they are self-financing it now. Looks real easy to use and everything, but it will certainly take some time for production.

    Actually it's not that hard to say - a lot of anthropologists have studied this subject very thoroughly.

     

    Sure there were people like that, but they weren't everyone or even a majority apparently. The world of today couldn't have turned out the way it did otherwise.

    and we weren't always living this way. We lived 70,000 years or more as hunter gatherers. A time where the average work week was about 20 to 30 hours. And men and women were equal. We've only lived in a land of exploitation for about i think 3000 years.  A blip compared to 70000 years.

     

    Hard to say without having lived back then, eh? I doubt that the basics were much different.

    I've used the A7S II extensively at the moment, and I'm finding that a lot of these colour issues might come down to white balance. It just doesn't work properly.

    This. Noticed it when I did the comparison R II vs S II in the other thread. Both cameras interpret WB values very differently and are probably both pretty far off.

    More evil comes from obeying than from doing ones own thing (as our countries' history illustrates).

    Oh, I don't think that obedience helps, at least not in my case, of course everyone has to find something that works for him personally. And my comment was more tailored to all the stuff around 'creativity', everyday life and relationships, not creativity itself. That is, being a super creative or successful person and therefore deciding that one can be a total douche otherwise wouldn't work for me.

    Emotions or thoughts expressed with genuine passion will also be appreciated by others.

    Probably one of the the reasons the aforealluded guy was successful in our country. Being genuine by itself sure feels good but doesn't necessarily help society, it always depends on your values. And if your maxim is being creative/successful/powerful at all costs, you might put others at a serious disadvantage.

    The current crises on so many levels can't be solved by accepting practical constraints. We need more people who trust their own judgment (made with minds, hearts and souls) and who contradict the so-called common sense of their society.

    I don't think we need more people who think they can save the world and try to enforce their solution by all means, because naturally they know what's best for John Doe, Adam Arendt and Li Juan, too. First, especially the benefactors are super enthusiastic about their new rules and tools and later they wonder how it could have gotten that far. Personally, I don't think the kind of global 'crises' we got ourselves into can be solved at all.

    How can we sleep while our beds are burning?

    Guilt helps and hurts equally, obsession with it is pretty shitty, agreed.

    This is more what we expect from a still, with lots of color in the face - red, blue, and some greens hitting in the face.:

     

    I doubt that girl is into forging weapons and getting tanned by the fire. :D

    Great, thanks.

    On the images 1 and 2 the difference that is somewhat explaining what I saw for in example my pick of the Nx500 on the slider.
    In image 2 there is a grainy/noisy texture on his this where as it on image 1 is smooth.

    Yw. Can't see anything of the sort on either the jpegs or the raws. I can send you the raws if you'd like me to, just don't want to post Dropbox links in public. You might wanna work on that sentence, though, as I'm not sure if I understood correctly. :D

  11. Didn't get the focus and framing identical, but here goes. :p It's just that with the R I often notice the better resolution, especially at night with long exposures. But it's hard to really pick what's better, there's always the variance of settings/framing and shit involved, as well. In the examples I just shot I found the colors of the S better, it picked the White Balance differently, as well (readjusted that for the R in Lightroom). All in all, I don't know, I'd rather not spend too much time with stuff like this, because there's so much variables involved and I like both cameras. For stills I usually go with the R, just because of the better AF and the plus in resolution and for video I prefer the S for full frame 4K and for lower light scenarios, because it's always so clean.

    Image 1 + 2 f8 (both 1600 ISO, 1/160, standard, no PP, matched WB), first a7sii, second a7rii.

    Image 3 + 4 f1.8 (both 1/160, standard, no PP, matched WB), first a7sii 125 ISO, second a7rii 100 ISO. Lens: Zeiss 55 1.8, S uncompressed raw, R compressed raw (should have matched that but forgot). Edit: Tried both uncompressed and compressed and there's no visible difference.
