So I focused on the object [lamp in my little room] and look what happened. It's as if the lamp is protruding out of the display of my VCR [3D effect]! Not related: a few shots. Among other things, this is what my pics will look like if/when I ever sell something on eBay Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switch to HD mode to view this [720p at least, or 1080p if your CPU is really fast] So Med: In doing a search on that EOS 550D that is in that video, am I correct in assuming that model is the European version of the Rebel T2i that is sold in America?

I think it confuses the hell out of people [i myself thought they were 2 different models until I read and watched videos about it]. By analogy to cars, it kinda reminds me of the VW Golf that's called "Rabbit" in North America and "Caribe" in Mexico. And unlike those "reviews" on youtube where people spend 14 minutes unboxing something they just bought and 1 minute "reviewing" it, here's what I call a true in-depth review of a product such as this camera. This guy should have his own TV channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy should have his own TV channel If you go to Canon Japan they often list the regional variations. Search on google and there is bound to be a site that lists them. Its the local marketing departments in most cases who drive this. Some car names may translate to ''big poo {censored}'' in another language so I guess that's how these departments first justified their existence On numbers it's kind of silly although some numbers are unlucky in some countries.

A few more: Vatican City (would love to know who is in the statue standing over the Pope) Statue of St. Paul. Three things I like about this pic: 1. Shooting angle: you really have to look to see the sword it's holding with its right arm. 2. The 2 statues in the middle of the roof above look like a music duo: one playing a guitar and the other dancing and singing [look closely at his posture] 3. The Pope looks like he's really sitting there You can color-correct him according to his surroundings using Photoshop and lure your friends into thinking you were really that close to him Somewhere in England Is that moss growing on those roofs? Love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you buy an EOS 13 or an EOS 666 Like the Chevrolet Nova which, allegedly, didn't sell well in Latin America because "NOVA" in Spanish means "won't go" or "doesn't go" But I think you may be right about the EOS "550D". It seems any number followed by a "D" in the US refers to the boob size of a woman. Now imagine what a 550D measurement would be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Gribs Posted June 13, 2010 Members Share Posted June 13, 2010 I had an uncle (now deceased) who sat with pope JP2 in the pope-mobile when he was in Chicago. My uncle was a doctor, our family has a lot of devout and influential (well maybe at one time - dunno about now) catholic doctors, and they always have a doctor with the pope in the pope-mobile. Anyway I think it is weird that people get bent about people posting photos of their kids here when millions of people do it on Facebook all of the time. Perhaps the difference is that on Facebook there is some supposed control over who can view the photos while here there is not. I have a Canon Rebel xTI which is an okay entry-level camera. It works just fine for my purposes which are mostly family photos and Ebay with some nature photography and experimentation thrown in. I have a macro zoom lens that I bought that works nicely for portraits. The photo that I posted here was taken using that lens. I just got my wife a Panasonic Lumix LX3 for her birthday, and she is playing with it - again mostly for pictures of our kids.I should mention that in the research lab I have done quite a bit of photography under various microscopes, mostly with a Zeiss stereoscope and a Nikon research scope and using Optronix CCD cameras. There are expensive pieces of lab gear that are really nice. If I can find anything interesting in my files I will post later. I have done some time-elapsed photography of things like "black spots" eating away at OLEDs in situ while the OLED is turned on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the difference is that on Facebook there is some supposed control over who can view the photos while here there is not. I don't get it either, and I think it's not only absolutely ridiculous, but also scary [see pic of pyramid I posted earlier on this thread]. The photo that I posted here was taken using that lens. I just got my wife a Panasonic Lumix LX3 for her birthday, and she is playing with it - again mostly for pictures of our kids I really wish I had seen it, especially knowing that your son is getting into synths thanks to you. Obviously I wasn't quick enough to check back on what pictures people were posting.. Happy birthday to your wife, Gribs. Great gift too I should mention that in the research lab I have done quite a bit of photography under various microscopes, mostly with a Zeiss stereoscope and a Nikon research scope and using Optronix CCD cameras.

You will save some money. cool- i will pick one up, cameras are 100% tax deductible for me. i've already shot a number of time-lapse video experiments by scripting the Canon Hack Development Kit (CHDK) firmware on my Powershot to prepare for the T2i video. the video should be awesome, sort of a cross between a 1960s experiment in time-lapse and a 1970s horror movie. if i like the T2i, i'll buy one.

Members Mediterranean Posted December 4, 2011 Author Members Share Posted December 4, 2011 Found a way to do panning automatically. Now try this with a handheld camera, lol Next challenge: how to make the motion two-dimensional. Here it's moving in a circular motion only. I need to find a way to have it move in a straight line all while spinning. Motorized track? Any ideas on how I would build one for cheap? Music made using what you see in the vid. Select "720p" for clearer audio & video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
