I really like the skintone, it has a very strong effect! The lips and the eyes are amazing too

Najs! Gillar de skarpa fΓ€rgerna.
Som nΓ₯gon sade, det Γ€r bra att de dig lite aktiv igen, Γ€ven om det nu rΓ₯kar vara framdrivet av avsaknad av tv och internet. Hoppas allt gΓ₯r bra fΓΆr dig med det nya boendet.

Nice expansion from the original.
Good to have you back brother.

Thank you! It's getting better. Moving cost's a hell of a lot I discovered. Now I count the days till my next pay check. Only food and gas until then. It brings back memories of life as a student.

You have to get back to your art work, because it is all that you can afford.
Hang in there.
Good to see you getting some spark back.

Sadly, that's so true. I still have some chemicals left so I can develop some negs to. I can't even watch proper TV on my 14' oldschool thick TV.

The US broadcast system went digital so I have several TVs that will only work with analog cable.
I have better screens on computers than I have for TVs.
Gives you a chance to do something else you did in school.
Read a book. Catch up on your reading list.
I've been reading Ambrose Bierce.
He is a more irreverant contemporary satirist of Twain.
To me, some of his horror may have inspired Lovecraft.
Not necessarily in the story, but in structure.
I like his definition of religion: A daughter of Hope and Fear, explaining to Ignorance the nature of the Unknowable.

We have the same over here but you can use old TV with a digital box. In the cable net of this house there is both digital and analog signals still so mine works. I also use this small TV to check shutter speeds on old cameras I repair. You can't do that with plasma or lcd TVs. So I'll have to keep it even after I buy a bigger one. Ambrose Bierce sounds interesting. I'll have to check him out.

How do you check shutter speeds?
Scan rate ratios to the setting?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes, basically. You can check speeds of 1/60th and up to 1/1000. You get an estimate but that's enough in most cases. You put a ground glass on the film plane and shoot towards the TV and look for how large part of the picture is showing at the different settings. 1/16th at SS of 1/1000, 1/8th at 1/500 and so on. You can also see by the shape of the part of the picture showing whether the first and the second curtain is moving in sync.

That is crazy stuff.

Yep. It solved a lot of problems when I found out how to check these things. The other day I found this gadget on ebay made by some guy in Romania to measure shutter speed by sound(i think) you record it and upload it to your pc and check the soundwave graph to get a really accurate reading of shutter speed, and it cost about $12 or so. If I get one of those and it works I can throw out that old thick screen TV, but until then it stays.

If you had the proper audio software, I assume that you could do standard recording and watch the peaks and time interval on the screen.
Also appears that if some trip of the shutter is visible, you could take video and count frames.

I doubt video can record at 1/1000 or faster of a second but sound might work with the right software. I will have to look into that
π: 0 β©: 1
Yep, I looked up video sampling rate vs audio sampling rate and now I get it.
But if you used a photo cell to view the shutter, fed the analog signal to an audio sampler.
Then you would get a photo response at with audio speed.
That should keep you thinking for a while.
You crazy Swede.

Dude! I'm a history and political science teacher. I'm stretching my technical know how to the max as it is.

Alternately, you can feed direct analog to your crt oscilloscope.

...if only I can remeber were I put it after the last time I did that.

You can also record the direct analog system to your reel to reel.
That is how they did the magnetic signal in the early pipeline smart pigs.
I'm a mechanical engineer, I may not understand the details of digital, but at least I can understand analog.

I have no real understandings, only vague ideas. Pipeline smart pig? Reel to reel? Is this Cheaper then the $12 Romanian gadget?
π: 0 β©: 1
Nothing cheaper than 12
I'm just throwing out stone age technologies
