A little less lag today it seems so I can actually kinda play the game.
So if the game crashes, you don't get any XP from the round, is that true? Kinda annoying as it crashed when the "Your team won!" text hit the screen.

Alright. Couple of hours of gameplay on Caspian Border and Metro.
Left unimpressed mostly due the insane lag on every server.
Hopefully they are just testing something that isn't obviously working but the whole Origin/Battlelog stuff needs to die a painful death. I thought I had seen the worst with Origin but the 'Log thing is just utter abomination.

It wanted to install BF3 on my OS drive which is rather small SSD where I do not want anything other than OS to be installed. Just like Steam I had installed Origin on my other HD with plenty of space but like I said Origin just defaults to your C: drive and when I cancelled the install it wants to download THE WHOLE CRAP AGAIN!
I can find the 4 gigs of installer tucked in my C: drive but is there a way to force Origin to suck it up and install it?

Trying to get to the beta party boat. The Origin is truly a world class clusterpuppypuppypuppy and a masterpiece of shoddy engineering that makes most malware look pleasant. The whole UI looks like an Android developer got drunk and used a Wacom with the pen between his buttcheeks. Can't change settings (terrible language localisation, wrong default program install folders) while downloading beta that's being bandwith restricted by EA's side.
The squirrel avatar is funny though.

Finland is the absolute bottom end puppypuppypuppyhole of photography. You know Lensrentals.com right? Nikkor 300mm f2.8 VRII for 273 $ for 7 days? Yes please! 
Yeah, we got nothing like that. Old 70-200 for 214 $ for eight days? Anything better or longer? Oh, some f4-f5.6 stuff? How about no.
Anyway, some double exposure from earlier this year.
This is from a couple of weeks ago. Production is finally moving on after the client picked what she wanted. This is from the B-picks so the good stuff is still to come. Hope you like 'em and post some race cars fast!

What is that? A syringe?
And damn guys, I would soooo like to get to shoot racing and cars like that. Excellent work everybody.
I was requested a private exhibition of some sort for last weekend and pulled together 50 self portraits printed and hung on the wall. You can see a small selection of them at my Flickr but they aren't very mainstream stuff unfortunately.
"Yes, I hear you but what do you mean by we ran out of budget?"
Let's start dumping crazy stuff here. Pics of our racks' asses too.
Yeah, it's as inspiring as filling your tax report.
You actually don't need a MIDI interface or other input device next to mouse and keyboard to make sounds happen. You can just click notes on a grid and you can lock them to a beat so everything is perfectly synced. Some music theory is helpful so that you understand what kinda makes a rhythm work but it's really very simple. Punching MIDI notes live with an interface takes some patience and usually quantasizing notes to align better with the grid but can make the rhythm sound more natural if you got the chops.
Also the cord pulling and experimenting is most of the fun with Reason. Load a rack full of strange stuff and make weird connections. Pull a plug and insert it to a random input or unit and you might stumble on a freaky cool sound. Super compressed drums to a reverb unit that sends both channels to a different delay units that are combined back to a gate controlling vocal track? Everything goes!

The Rewire technology is just a tunnel that can send and receive MIDI signals and live audio between Reason and another DAW (almost all modern DAWs support Rewire). Via Rewire I can control Reason from my recording and mixing station and thus save all automation, MIDI and audio data in one place for easier project management. Reason simply listens to what MIDI commands are coming through the pipe and sends them to the routed devices and sends audio back to DAW on assigned tracks.
I make it sound more complicated than what it really is but it's flexible and solid.
Yay good topic!
First register your stuff to get access to Propellerhead support and forums. Downloadable goodies awaits.
Reason is quite fun for just dicking around and patching and side processing synths. The purchasable addons like Reason Drums come with different pre-installs of nice setups that you can use as a base to get cool sounds.
Second, Reason has been by far the most user friendly professional audio software. Having gone through through Sonar, Cubase and Ableton Live, the Reason is currently living mostly Rewired to Reaper. Reaper is definitely the undisputed DAW king in price/performance and I highly recommend you to check it out.
If you plan to record and combine live instruments with Reason's synths, Rewiring is the way to go, I'd say.
At the moment I have Korg Axiom25 and Trigger Finger hooked to Reaper that sends midi signals via Rewire to different instruments in Reason and sends live audio back to Reaper that are recorded on different tracks. Cheapass Firewire M-Audio Solo audio interface is enough to record 16+ live audio tracks in 24bit/48khz.

Cool band.

Some further impressions.
Don't bother buying this if online racing is what you're after.
It's the rFactor syndrome all over again, "no track available" or password protected servers and next to no one online.

That reminded me about the already notorious Nikon V1 release.
Now, I was actually really looking forward to having one as a side arm / backup body for D700 (my current backup body is an ancient D80).
But the price with the 10mm pancake lens is 970 euros - that's 1300 USD!!!!! Un-feckin-believable so it's 70-200 VR2 time or down payment for 200-400 f4 then.
Cool work, you definitely have your look nailed.
Was many of those manual focus stuff? My eyesight is terrible and can't nail focus manually even if my life depended on it.
Can you give me an estimate how many frames you usually end up shooting and how many shots you deliver? If it's a wedding or other important event I'm usually somewhere in the 500-1500 frames per day and around 100-200 frames delivered to a client a week later or so.
Usually 99% of the overall frames are usable, in focus and ok exposure but just look boring or expressions are weak and so on so.

Had my first online race yesterday. Couple of thoughts for other peeps planning to jump into NKPro.
The online experience is very spartan compared to LFS. Netcode felt at a times very inconsistent with laggy, disappearing and reappearing cars and blue boxes with car shadows underneath. LFS netcode looks and feels much more smoother overall.
The opponents seemed to be aware of their surroundings and overall the racing was good with smaller grids.
Me likes the car selection too.
