Hello! I recently got into photography, and purchased a Minolta x700, with several MD lenses. I’m very happy with it, but I didn’t realize how expensive film photography can be. I am considering to switching to DSLR once I develop my skills, and I was wondering what some good options are for entry level DSLR cameras would...
Like others have said, I’d recommend a mirrorless camera over a DSLR, especially if you’re taking photos of kids. I’ve recently switched from a Pentax k-x DSLR to a Sony a6000 mirrorless. One of the main reasons I switched was for the burst speed of a mirrorless.
This means that if the kids are running around like lunatics, I can set the burst mode to high, and it takes 11 photos a second, for a bit over two seconds. I’ve got a much higher chance of catching them with their eyes open, or not pulling a face as they’re moving, and so on. With a decent sized memory card you can take thousands of photos, and just delete the ones you don’t like.
The camera is a lot lighter too, and the lenses can be smaller, so they’re easier to carry and to use hand held.
As an example, watching Strange New Worlds is great, but they can’t put certain characters in life threatening situations, because we know that they’ll survive. They’re not going to kill off Kirk before he takes command.
It limits the story in some ways. Give us something new where anything can happen.
About a year ago I introduced Rustdesk as an experiment. For those who don’t know Rustdesk is a piece of software that allows remote access. You can use the public servers or you can use your own private server....
Do you know how it compares to NoMachine, Any Desk, or Team Viewer for speed over a LAN connection? I’ve tried all three in the past, and get slowdowns every now and then, even if the network is fine.
I’ve found that VNC can have some slowdowns, but it seems to be faster than the others I mentioned. I can’t remember why I switched away from it now though.
It sounds like it’s worth giving Rustdesk a try, so that might be my next project :)
First time home owner here. I stuck these vent deflectors a month ago on one of our vents and I removed it today for some other reason. I noticed these stains that looked like water stains but I think it’s actually something that is growing - maybe unfortunately mold or something. I need help in understanding this situation...
Spray - possible. My cleaning people come over once every two weeks and clean windows and blinds as well. This vent happens to be right above a window.
The shape of the stain and the spread of the dots look a lot like a spray to me. The large stain is where the centre of the spray hit, the smaller dots are where it misted out / splashed from the centre, and the neat clear line across the middle looks like the front of the acrylic piece protected part of the back / inside because of the angle of the spray. If it’s mounted the same way up as you’re holding it in the photo, it would make sense based on someone spraying upwards towards the top of the window.
As remotelove said, some chemicals can damage plastics, and that’s what I think has happened here.
It was the nightclub scene that got me. Something felt off, but I couldn’t put my finger on it, then she did the bad girl pose and her mouth just looked wrong.
This is exactly what I use mine for, and I’m trying to convince my wife to do the same. We’ve had to buy some relatively expensive things for the house recently, so I’ve been using the credit card for the extra protection, while she’s been paying in cash / debit card.
Luckily, we haven’t had any major problems yet, but she doesn’t seem to understand that the extra protection is worth it.
I’m in the UK, and we have to build a credit score if we want to get a mortgage, a loan, or any sort of finance, unless it’s from somewhere predatory like a payday lender.
From SLR to DSLR. Advice?
