Episode 341 – Disney Conspiracy Theories

Bruce Williams

This week, I thought I should share the Youtube channel of the slo-mo guys; a couple of fellas with a decidedly destructive bent who like to film their shenanigans at stupidly high video frame rates.

Through the week, I tried Glynn’s suggestion of inverting the pixel data on a layer of a manually-stitched panorama.

2 layers. Bottom layer positive. Top layer inverted (negative).
2 layers. Bottom layer positive. Top layer inverted (negative).
Same as before but with the top layer opacity reduced to about 30% to allow for manual alignment.

Once aligned, the top layer is then converted back to a positive (run the 'invert' command again). As I said on the podcast, it's a valid technique, although not one that I would necessarily go for in my workflow. Each to their own!

I also came across yet another youtube video explaining the inverse square law, and I felt this guy did a pretty decent job of explaining it for anyone who needs a refresher.

Steve Peters sent me a link for the Google translate story that Glynn mentioned last episode,
plus the story of the wedding photographer who turns his brides and grooms into the people of Lilliput.

Adam sent us the story of the Rescued Film Project, who recently received 31 rolls of UNDEVELOPED film shot by a World War 2 photographer!

Glynn is pretty excited about his new Velbon tripod.
Got a little dose of Trump-like narcissism going on? Maybe you’d like a 3D print of yourself!
Glynn is hoping to include the Pushkar camel fair in next year’s India trip. Here’s a teaser, if you’re undecided on whether or not you should go along.
Seagate has just release a whopping (by today’s standards, at least) 10TB desktop hard drive!
Canon has filed a patent for a 40-800 zoom lens. Whether it ever makes it to market shall remain to be seen.
Kennedy fans can pick up a little bit of history right now. Jackie Kennedy’s camera is currently up for auction on Ebay.
From the “Silly Ideas” bucket…
If you try hard enough, you can prove anything. Like this collection of “compositional templates” to help ‘improve’ your photography.
Last week it was Fibonacci templates.

I have been a professional audio engineer since the mid 80's and am happy to do for free in my spare time what I get paid to do during the week. I created Shutters Inc in May 2005, and it is today (as best as I can tell) THE longest-running photography podcast in the world.
