This reminded me, what kind of gear carrying system you cool Chechs use to cover events? I'd image lots of walking and gear is involved. Simple backbacks or perhaps Thinktank modular stuff?
Also, daaaaamn...
They should take down WOW and do the humanity a favor but no, they're pussies.

It's so bright here...
A new patch eh?

Vettel's been a lucky ducky for so many races so it was fun to see his sour face for a change. Killer race but the I could have watched the Inception during the intermission.
Spammeth continues; some metal from tonight!
Dropped you a comment on your misty tree photo! Very nice.
More from Sunday!
Meaning full 5 stars for proper balls out MOVIE MAKING!
A good DP (Nolan haz it) and IMAX crew (Nolan haz it too!) isn't your average indie film group slapping on a shitty Sigma or Tokina lens on and calling it a day. 35mm cine film pulls about 3.5K of resolution and 70mm IMAX peaks at the stupid high 8K.
Going to the movies should blow your heads off and make your jaw hit the floor. It's good that someone is pushing the envelope fer chrissakes!
Only parts of the Dark Knight was shot with IMAX film cameras. The footage was apparently scanned at a freaky 8K resolution. Apparently IMAX digital projection is two 2K projectors doubled to increase brightness (Wikipedia's facts you can trust???).
However I still hope cinemas are hurrying with updating to 4K projectors with Jackson's Hobbit and Cameron's blue monkeys in the pipeline.
IMAX footage is 4K or just slightly above if I remember correctly and IMAX cinemas have 4K projectors. RED Epic pulls 5K video at 96 FPS... so, yeah.
Hopefully Cameron and Jackson are able to speed up the projector update in cinemas soon.
Most cinemas are indeed still stuck at 2K but it's changing already. Most feature length movies are recorded at 4K. Final edit is downscaled for distribution but the studios keep the 4K masters to future proof the inevitable re-releases.
EDIT: As far as I know Avatar's 3D gimmick was first in the making as a blockbuster movie and Sony's HD cameras were the only usable cameras back then during the production. Ignoring the Tron's half-assed 3D I do believe the 2D was shot at 4K. I remember reading the CGI UI artist talking about how they had to write graphic applications to render at 4K or film resolution.
EDIT2: And I recall Cameron had ordered 50 units of Red Epics (4K digital cinema) for the Avatar sequel.

Considering the usual viewing distances 720p is more than good enough. Pro's never went to 1080p but straight to 4K. All 1080p recorded uncompressed footage looks like aliased oversharpened crap instead of actual detail and resolution that the 4K produces.
Thanks dawg. Also... DAMN your lens collection is getting out of control!
(In a good way)
Can't remember/arsed to browse backwards what I've posted last but here's one from yesterday with Janina.
All exposure modes are useful depending on the circumstances. Yes, even P mode.
:lovies3d:
Meanwhile another from the gray session.
No point replying after this one.
You win for best perverted overtones.
Very close second.
The Gumball 3000 was never the same after global economic recession.
You can do better than those. Show me some comedy goldmine.
