    Wet Shaving

    I'm still learning too. I recently found that, despite being heavily right-handed, shaving the right side of my neck was cleaner using my left hand. Must be something about getting the angle right. I'm still working my way through my West Coast variety pack. I'm not a big fan of the Merkurs...

    A couple out of one of my pinhole cameras during the worldwide photowalk a couple of weeks ago.

    A little fun with the lens off my new FED3

    Nice - my FED 3 has arrived and looks excellent. Fits right in with the crew (Canonet QL17 on left and Canon AT-1 on right)

    Testing Bitrate

    You can rip the CD to wav and open it in an audio editor that has a spectral display function and see if there's a high-frequency cut-off that's indicative of most compression. Here's an example of a VBR mp3 using Adobe Audition: You can see the abrupt cut at ~19.3kHz as compared to this...

    Front Panel Express, good, bad, ugly?

    Since his only other posts are on the same subject, it smells a bit spammy to me.

    Baines93 - you should see if there's a photowalk in your area on the 18th. You can see a listing here: Listing of all Photo Walks | Scott Kelby's Worldwide Photo Walk (scroll down to UK). Sending a day with other photo junkies might get you back into the groove.

    3D movies

    I'm curious about the blue/cyan glasses. I saw both Up and Coraline in 3D and both used circular polarizing glasses (polarized in opposite directions) with a 4x frame rate movie and alternating polarization on the frames. The effect doesn't work perfectly for me, so I suspect my regular glasses...

    I dig the color contrast on the first one dfkt. agnostic - Good stuff, particularly the second one - catching the statue in a visible shadow reinforces his somber expression. An Ikon would be a fun camera to try out. BTW: Based on your earlier recommendation, I picked up a FED3 that should be...

    A bit of B&W film from a recent outing (Canon AT-1, 50/1.8, Kodak Tri-X) I've been playing with various crops on this one and I can't settle on one that I really like, although I like the overall composition.

    Head-Fi/Can Jam @ Rocky Mountain Audio Fest 2009 (CJ@RMAF 2009): It's Official!

    RMAF is a great show in general and I'd recommend that any local audio geeks attend. Having Head-Fi there will be an added bonus. I attended the first three RMAF's, but now live out of state and don't attend anymore. Al was a great guy and I had the pleasure of seeing him each year I...

    Who Here is Tempted by The New Olympus E-P1 Micro 4/3 Camera?

    Thanks for the thoughts. I want to step up the potential in my pics, but have always balked at the bulk of moving to a DSLR for traveling. I usually don't carry a backpack when walking around on vacation (unless I'm hiking), but I don't mind a camera around my neck/shoulder. When I was in Prague...

    Who Here is Tempted by The New Olympus E-P1 Micro 4/3 Camera?

    Well, I won't be buying both - at least not in the foreseeable future. The point of the E-P1 (to me) is that it can be both the travel camera and the lens-specific camera, and do both at high quality. My priority for digital is something that travels well on either an international trip, or...

    Who Here is Tempted by The New Olympus E-P1 Micro 4/3 Camera?

    Thanks for the info dj. I'm still debating if I'm going to take the leap with this one. While I'm not a hardcore photographer, my cameras are fairly diverse and in film I shoot with a combination of SLR, rangefinder, dual-lens and pinhole (a wide variety of "viewfinders"). In digital I only have...

    Twitchy epsilon 12

    Thanks for the tips. Since I don't have extra IC's, I just fiddled with the trimpot for another half hour tonight. I was finally able to get it to settle down (at about -19mV, in line with your suggestion) and we'll see how well it works. I don't remember it being nearly this finicky when I...
