Cool/Exciting/Interesting things (probably videos)
Without context it just seems like that guy is one some really great drugs, lmfao
Amazing reaction. Thatâs probably how I felt the first time I saw purple, too.
WHAT THA FUCK IS THIS PURPLE
A feature-length commentary on Raiders of the Lost Ark by Jamie Benning that includes seemingly every tidbit related to the film, including deleted scenes, audio commentary from the cast and crew, behind the scenes video, and much more.
LOL, thatâs exactly how it looks. I was waiting for him to roll around in the grass like a dog.
Can anyone explain the concept of tilt shift? This isnât like a video filter, right? This is a series of rapid pictures, right?
Itâs a mechanical process done with the lens. So, when youâre taking pictures, your lens is parallel to the sensor right? This means that your focus plane (the area which is in focus) is also parallel to your sensor/film. But from time to time you may not want that to be the case. Maybe youâre taking a picture of two mountains, and one is behind the other (from your perspective). To get them both focused, you âtiltâ the lens in such a way that the focus plane is tilted in such a way that both mountains fall inside the focused area. This is tilting, which changes the relationship between your sensor and the focus plane. Shifting is for other, more complex uses (ever wondered why you canât take pictures of buildings with straight vertical lines like they have in professional photos? thatâs because theyâre âshiftingâ, which is moving the lens up/down, left/right while keeping the focus plane parallel to the sensor/film). For those very big wooden cameras you can just move the lens around because their body is not completely solid. But in solic cameras like SLRs, you need a lens especially made for it. Theyâre tilt/shift lenses.
So, to get that miniature effect. So, if you want to take a picture of the ground and have it all in focus, you would have to tilt the lens towards the ground, right (this is actually not correct because of complicated optics and geometrics but iâd need to draw to explain it, just go with it)? To make it as close to parallel to the ground as possible. Miniature effect is achieved by doing the complete opposite. Basically making it so the focus plane is perpendicular (almost/more than, not sure) to the ground. Then you speed up the video with some frameskipping and it looks like theyâre moving in stop motion. Iâm pretty sure you can do it in software too, but thatâs super lame.
Around the world in three years. Walter Chang saved up, quit his job, travelled around the world for three years, and made this video. This video makes me happy. And sadâŚI am clearly not grabbing enough tiger by the tail in life currently.
[quote]I went to South America and trekked through Patagonia. In Zimbabwe, hippos, lions, and elephants roamed through our camping ground. When I got to South Korea, my relatives treated me as one of their own, despite having last seen them 18 years prior.
It was in China, the third country of my trip, when I realized that what I was doing wasnât totally crazy. I had already met a multitude of other backpackers taking extended trips ranging from several months to four years. Young people from abroad were prioritizing travel over hurrying into careers.[/quote]
