Skill Level Beginner
In Final Cut Pro we access video filters from the Effects menu and this is what allows us to create an effect across the duration of a clip rather than at the transition point between two clips. In Media Composer, these types of effects are referred to as segment based effects and they are accessed from the Effects palette. Here in the beginning of my sequence I have a clip that already has a Timewarp effect on it. If I wanted to add now another segment based effect on top of that, first I browse for the category that I'm interested in.
In this case, the Blend category contains the Picture-in-Picture effect and that's what I am going to start out with. So I am going to drag the Picture-in- Picture effect from the Effects palette and drop it on top of the first clip in my sequence. You can see that the result is immediate and I can play that back. (Music playing) So, so far we have managed to apply a segment based effect without having to go into Effects mode. If I'm happy with the default effect, I can move on and start creating other effects wherever I need them.
In this case though, I'd like to edit this effect. So in order to edit this effect what I need to do is go into Effects mode, so let's launch into Effects mode and this is the Effect Editor that we used when we're manipulating transition effects earlier in this chapter. We are going to use the same tool now to help us change the attributes of this Picture-in-Picture effect. Since I am going to make changes which last for the entire effect, the first thing I am going to do is highlight the keyframe at the front end. Then I am going to use Command+I to highlight all of the keyframes.
And now I can move over to the Effect Editor and start making changes. I am going to open of the Border parameter here. Once I use the disclosure triangle, I am going to see the effects sliders here, and then I am also going to see the actual category and if I open up within the category I will see the individual parameters and I can see a keyframing window here for keyframing with. In this particular case, we are just going to make a change to the width of the border. Make it slightly larger like so and then soften it up a little bit like that.
I'd also like to change the Scaling. At the moment it's defaulted to 50%. The X and Y attributes are linked together so I am just going to highlight my slider here and then I can either pull on the slider itself or I can use my arrow keys on my keyboard to reduce the size. I can use the arrow keys to stat at one value at a time, or if I hold the Shift, I can move ten values at a time. Down here underneath the viewer, I can switch on the Grid tool and this would allow me, for example, if I wanted to place this towards the edge of the frame.
I could make sure that I was still inside safe action. So let's go ahead and do that. Let's open up the Position parameter and now we can start to reposition our clip using the sliders here. If I want to switch between sliders, I can just use the Tab key on my keyboard and I can manipulate that attribute as well. If I want to move backwards and forwards between the attributes then using Tab or Shift+Tab will allow me to go backwards and forwards. There, I like that. Now if that's an effect I'd like to use again in the future, what I can do is I can tag the effect and drag it down into my bin area, let go, and now I get a copy of that effect for future use with the customized parameters already applied.
Let's look at an example of now layering another clip in concert with this on the timeline and compositing them together. Let's close the Effect Editor and look at this clip here, 9964. I have already got it marked up and I am going to put it onto the V3, like so. Now the moment because there is no effect applied to the clip on V3, we can only see that clip. If I step underneath, we can now see our original Picture-in-Picture, which is of course over nothing so it shows up as the black.
So now of course what I could do is I can take my Picture-in-Picture effect from the bin, drag it over, and drop it onto the clip that's on top. Obviously, it's exactly over the top of the effect that I already created. So let's go back into Effects mode now on the top clip and change its position. Obviously, I could use my X and Y sliders like I did previously or I could just go and grab on the image and move it down here, like so. Now notice that when I did that I was parked in the middle of the clip and so because I made a change, a new keyframe was added.
But luckily because all of my keyframes was selected at the same time, the same keyframe values have been applied to all of them. So as I scrub through my effect, now I've got two Pictures-in-Pictures, one in the top right-hand corner of the frame and one in the bottom left. Let's exit Effects mode and now that effect is live in the timeline, like so. So there is a simple example of using a segment based effect and starting to layer more than one clip over the top of each other in the sequence.
Let's look at a slightly different example. Further down here in the timeline, I've created a different type of Picture-in-Picture effect, but this time using a different effect. You can see that the icon here is a paper icon. Here, this is the icon for 3D Warp effect. That's this effect here at the top of the Blend category. Now first a note on 3D Warp. This is an effect that has many, many attributes. As a result it can be a heavier effect to process. So if you really only need to do a Superimposition or a Picture-in-Picture, you are better off selecting one of the most simple effects.
However, if you are going to need to do rotation and scaling, change the background, do de-focusing, then this is the effect for you. 3D Warp. Now the effects already applied to this clip and if I play it back, you will see that it's kind of a shaky shot. (Female speaker: To perform those dances, and not all?) So what I would like to do is use this as an example of nesting effects. I'd like to apply a Stabilize effect to this clip. So how should I go about doing that? Well, in Media Composer what we are going to do is we are going to step into the effect.
So here I am popped over the clip and I am going to go to my Step In arrow down here at the bottom of the timeline. Click on that and now the timeline view changes altogether. Notice that the timecode track is now called N1 and that mans that we are in nest level 1, so we are one layer down from the timeline inside of this effect. Now, the 3D Warp effect defaults to throwing a spare track on V1 and that's in case you have a customized background that you'd like to apply.
So the actual video clip is on layer 2 here. So now if I'd like to apply the Stabilize effect I just need to come over to the Image category, grab my Stabilize effect, drag and drop it onto my clip. Media Composer will nest out of multipoint stabilize. Stabilizing the image as much as possible and then at the end it will auto-zoom the image by just the amount needed to make sure we don't see any black edges at the side of the frame. And there we go. Now all I need to do is close the Effect Editor and I can play back the results of my Stabilize effect.
So you can see that the image is a lot more stable now and of course to see the full context, all I need to do now is step out back up to the timeline level. And so we have a Stabilize effect within our 3D Warp effect. (Female speaker: To perform those dances, and not all vintage clothing is designed with comfort. And also it has become much more scarce now.) So there we have it. A quick example of how to start compositing using segment based effects in Media Composer.
And if we need to combine effects, we can nest effects within each other and the order of the nesting is totally up to you. In this case of course, it makes much more sense for us to stylize the base image and then have the base image processed by the DVE, rather than the other way around. In the next video, we will look at some different compositing techniques.

Cloud Computing
The CIA clearly doesn't want to wait any longer for work to begin on the $600 million cloud infrastructure it has tapped Amazon Web Services to build.
Justice Department attorneys, responding to a motion for injunction filed Oct. 10 by IBM after a U.S. Court of Federal Claims judge overturned a previous bid protest decision that went Big Blue's way, provided notice to the court that it had filed classified documents detailing the "harm to the United States" an injunction would cause.
"These documents detail the harm to the United States of an injunction, the current state of the agency's information technology requirements, and the significant challenges that further delay to the procurement at issue would present to the agency," the notice states.
The CIA has been trying for nearly two years to procure a commercially developed cloud infrastructure for the intelligence community.
It pulled the procurement once in August 2012, taking corrective action after Microsoft and AT&T protested the agency's bid solicitation. IBM later protested the CIA's award to AWS, which FCW first reported on in March, and a series of legal maneuvers ensued. IBM has said it plans to appeal the Court of Claims ruling that overturned the bid protest decision.
Meanwhile, the intelligence community has rolled out its own internal cloud computing infrastructure based on the NSA's cloud model. It currently provides data hosting and storage, utility storage and analytics for the all agencies within the IC, though the cloud project currently being battled over in court is expected to greatly enhance the IC's capabilities.

The battle over Georgia's new sex offender law now turns to the Statesboro area.
The Bulloch County School Board voted to designate bus stops, and the sheriff there sent letters to sex offenders warning them they can't live within 1000 feet of bus stops.
A group against the law is now asking a federal judge to stop the plans.
Earlier, the same judge ordered Columbia County deputies to stop enforcing that part of the law.

I have 2 blogs, one hosted under my main domain, and one on a subdomain. I would like them both to use the same hostname for CDN served content (static.joostschuur.com). For media library content, this seems to work just fine. I set my Settings -> Media -> 'Full URL path to files' to http://static.joostschuur.com/blog/ and http://static.joostschuur.com/idg/ respectively, and by some behind the scenes magic, it looks like you subtracted the hostname that I provided in my CloudFront settings from the URLs above and figured out that you needed to place files in a sub-directory. Quite impressive, I was actually looking for an option to configure that, and didn't expect this much magic.
However, when I exported my theme data, it proceeded to add that to the root directory of my CDN bucket, i.e. static.joostschuur.com/wp-content. This means 2 sites couldn't share the same hostname. Have I hit a scenario that W3 Total Cache can't handle right now?
I tried appending my subdirectory to the bucket name or hostname under my CDN settings, but both broke the CDN test.
I'm currently running 0.9.1.1.

Posted on 01/28/2013 6:22:27 AM PST by Pan_Yan
Islamist insurgents retreating from the ancient Saharan city of Timbuktu have set fire to a library containing thousands of priceless ancient manuscripts, some dating back to the 13th century, in what the town's mayor described as a "devastating blow" to world heritage.
The manuscripts survived for centuries in Timbuktu on the edge of the Sahara hidden in wooden trunks, boxes beneath the sand and caves. The majority are written in Arabic, with some in African languages, and one in Hebrew, and cover a diverse range of topics including astronomy, poetry, music, medicine and women's rights. The oldest dated from 1204.
Seydo Traoré, a researcher at the Ahmed Baba Institute, who fled Timbuktu last year shortly before the rebels arrived, said only a fraction of the manuscripts had been digitised.
"They cover geography, history and religion. We had one in Turkish. We don't know what it said."
(Excerpt) Read more at guardian.co.uk ...
Muslim is pond scum.
Its the Muslim's MO.
That is a reprehensible loss. Cretins destroying history. Very sad.
So these were all known about, but never studied/copied/read/recorded/photographed/etc. ??
(confused head-scratching)
..at least they knew enough not to piss everybody off by drowning a bunch of puppies...
That's Timbuktu for ya.
Yep, took the words right out of my mouth. Wonder how long before the vast majority of our so-called "scholars" deny it ever happened, as they now do in regards to Alexandria?
Amazingly (well, maybe not anymore), within 24 hours, Iran will announce that it was the Jews that torched the library at Timbuktu, the Muslim 5th column in the West will blame it on the French and seek revenge, Hillary Clinton and John Kerry will blame the act on some as yet unidentified Western incitement for the jihadi actions, and President Zero will withhold comment seeking "a deeper understanding."
What a terrible loss of knowledge...after surviving all those centuries.
Of course they would burn libraries. The goal is to send the whole world back to the 8th century to match their intellectual, cultural,societal, philosophical, and moral level.
It's everybody's MO. In the 18th century, when English colonists from Georgia and South Carolina attacked Spanish Florida, they burned the Franciscan convent in St Augustine. Fearing that they hadn't done enough damage, they actually went back and burned what was considered one of the most valuable libraries of its time in the territory that is now the US. The Franciscan library consisted of books on the sciences, languages, music, theology and philosophy, as well as maps and of course the documents relating to the records of the Franciscan missions. It was a disastrous loss to later scholars, and certainly to the people of the time.
It's a very spiteful, gratuitously ugly act but not restricted to Muslims, alas.
They were in the process of being studied, etc, but there were a lot of them, and there weren't many researchers involved, it is, after all, at Timbuktu. Not the easiest place to get to, and certainly not a center of high tech.
Nope. Halliburton wanted to drill there for oil.
This is like when the Taliban blew up those Buddhist statues in Afghanistan.
These animals know only death and destruction and it is about time the world gave it to THEM wholesale. They are a cancer on humanity and need to be wiped from the face of the earth before they engulf us.
No surprise here...remember the statues in Afghanistan?
For the "Religion" of Pieces history begins with the birth of MoHAMhead, pizz be upon him.
And MSNBC will blame it on the Tea Party.
And these Muslim terrorists were likely armed and trained by the US in the Libyan war and its aftermath.
This is why Western nation SHOULD loot third world cesspits like Mali of their "treasures." At least if it is our museums, it would be protected. We should have cleaned out Iraq...
Well, then, so are murder, kidnapping, slavery, and rape "everybody's MO." To deny these are a Moslem specialty is to descend into meaningless generalization. For Moslems, these crimes are part of their pirate religion, and they commit them more than anyone.
For a contrast, when the Aztecs were overthrown in Mexico, the Catholic Church didn't torch old documentsit had them translated. That's in keeping with the Church's tradition of learning native languages and keeping and developing what is good in native cultures, to anchor everything in Christ.
In Israel, the Israelis preserve and document antiquities and holy sitesincluding the Moslem ones. The Moslem-Palis destroy them, including their own, because they often give the lie to whatever is the current Islamist party line about the sordid history of Islam.
The Christian ethic has been so strong in the West (despite human temptation to the contrary) that it has shown up in some surprising places. When the German Army occupied Paris, Hitler ordered it burned. His generals ignored the message, ordered another Cognac, and went to the museums.
Yes, the West is different. Islam delenda est.
Key words, "In the 18th century". We've evolved, Islam hasn't.
There was a time, not all that long ago, when it was THE center of knowledge.
Sadly, this simply isn't true.
What is their saying, something like: "If it isn't contained in the Koran, ..."
Is 13th century now considered ancient? I thought it was medieval, like Islam.
Spain had just escaped centuries of brutal islamist rule, the taint of which lead directly to The Inquisition and the burning of the codices.
It takes any culture time to recover from that big of a trauma.
it's just like the same bunch of radical Moslems (Wahabbis/Salafis -- sponsored by Saudia) who destroyed the 1400 year old tombs of the first Caliphs and Mohammed's wives in Mecca. The Saudis were about to destroy Mohammed's tomb as well but were stopped by Moslem outcry from around the world.
to Captain Rhino -- note that the ones doing the destroying are/were radical Sunnis. The Shia's (12'ers like the Shias in Iran and Iraq but also 5ers like the Ismailis and Bohris) and Ibadis will oppose this as will the mystical Sunnis -- the Sufis
Isn't it obvious the purpose of Muslims and leftists? They want to destroy traces of history so that they can re-write it in their own words and to favor their own goals.
Don't be surprised if there's an unexplained fire in the Library of Congress, the Smithsonian, or the National Archives at some point during Bambi's tenure. They want this history of this nation to be re-written.
In Obama World the 80s were medieval.
The mid-40s, about the time of the surrender to the Allied Powers, was when the serpent showed up in the Garden of Eden.
In order to rewrite history, you must destroy the current version of it. You must absorb what is there and change it to your liking, inserting and deleting wherever needed to accommodate your view.
This happens over and over. The Muslims are just the latest and most brazen example.
Sadly, it wouldn't. But at least we have a lot of digitized records as well. Timbuktu did not. We'll never know what has been lost. Like losing the Library of Alexandria for them. And us. :-(
The opposition of the Muslim world will have no more effect on the radical Sunnis, Wahabbis, and Salafis, than did the outcry over the destruction of the Buddhas of Bamiyan. They simply view anyone and anything not falling within their very constrained circle of faith to be unworthy of consideration. The fact that others, regardless of faith, regarded the tombs, the ancient manuscripts, or the ancient statues as part of the cultural and artistic heritage of mankind only excites them to commit these acts because they know the pain it will cause. This is unconstrained nihilism being carried out by self-empowered adult men who have no more maturity than teenage boys.
We are already seeing desecrations of religious buildings, graves, and public monuments in Europe by young Muslim men who have fallen under the sway of this thinking. (Not to mention the murders, rapes, etc. arising from the same community.) Can there be any doubt of what would remain if such an ideology were to gain ascendancy in the West?
Only force deters them; only the grave will stop them.
Sadly, this simply isn't true.
Sadly, how soon we forget. Here's a well-known example indeed of a Spanish priest burning Mayan and Aztec codicesand being condemned for it by the Spanish (Catholic) government itself.
It gets even more complicated. This very priest, Fr. Diego de Landa, had created a phonetic alphabet for recording and translating the Mayan hieroglyphic code. It is because of his work that we can read Mayan symbols at all. (His system was finally understood as phonetic, rather than ideographic, in 1952.) And Mayan culture and society are understood today because of his journal and other writings. What he said was that most of what he burned involved devil-worship. The Spanish decided he'd gone overboard, and condemned him for it.
Here we are, living in a culture that respects the pastcomparatively speaking, since we did not do as Mao did, torching every speck of ancient Chinese knowledge and architecture he could get his hands on. (Which the ancestor-worshipping ancient Chinese sages had preserved.) Torching your enemies' stuff (oops, as the pagan Vikings and Huns also did) is typical human behavior. It's only a confident culture that seeks objective truth that fights this urge and seeks instead to understand what went beforeknowing that its own search for truth in Christ is stronger than faction or tribe.
The Soviets extirpated all the inconvenient knowledge they could, and it crippled them and resulted in their downfall. The liberals here rewrite history continuously, and their lies never agree with each otherso they must continually change the subject and "Move On." (There has never been a more aptly named organization.)
Get this straight: Yes, the victors among men usually try to destroy their enemies' history. But we live in a culture (the Christian tradition) where this is largely not the case. The lamentable exceptions to our historical sensitivity are just thatexceptions. Don't accuse the West of being in the same category as the Moslems or most other pagans.
And what went on before the Mayans and the Aztecs? Certainly the practical-minded Aztecs did not invent the writing or Indian culture they used. Did they torch it all?

For the moment, this is "just another new blog" about cameras and photography! I hope you'll enjoy it!
The Sony FE 28/2 is the current hot lens for Sony FE-mount. It's a fast and affordable wide-angle prime lens. Reviews show that it's sharp (yes it is … even though clearly less sharp than my Zeiss-branded 35/2.8 under real-world conditions), also it has a really high contrast, and of course its f/2 aperture is great not only under low light conditions. All this for a mere 450 Euros list price. What's not to like?
The big downside, they say, is the massive geometric distortion of this lens. Some of the usual testers – such as Amateur Photographer – don't even dare to quote the exact amount of distortion that this lens produces in their FE 28/2 review. Probably it even holds a world record here. :p
But, hey, we all use RAW don't we? And in Lightroom, distortion is not automatically corrected in such a way that you won't ever see it. it's visible. You open your files, taken with a Sony A7 series body and the new FE 28/2, in Lightroom and you'll immediately see the massive amount of distortion, almost like a weak fisheye lens:
Now the fun thing is that you can actually use that distortion to your advantage when you try to apply perspective correction (a.k.a. digitally "shifting" the lens) to your photo. But how comes that? Let's first do a simple distortion correction. I find (without having tested it in any pseudo-scientific manner) that applying +25 distortion correction in Photoshop removes all visible distortion very well:
As you now can see, you've got some "extra" image area in the corners. When you try to simply rotate the photo a little bit (as if you were correcting if you failed to hold the camera at level during taking the photo), you'll immediately notice the advantage that you do not lose any image area at the borders if you do apply that correction!
Same, of course, also goes for more complex corrections such as a digital shift:
At the very bottom left and right edges, clearly more image area is left after the correction as would be the case with an "ideal" lens without any geometric distortion! The net result is this:
Here's another example. The first file below has only geometric distortion correction applied, so an ideal, distortion-free 28 mm lens, would deliver just that same result:
I decided to apply just a little bit of "shift" to this frame to make the car look a bit less distorted. Notice how there now is a bit more area left in the frame to the left of the wall post in the rear? It would not be there if I'd taken the shot with an ideally corrected 28 mm lens!
Bottom line: I still prefer ideally corrected lenses over this. It's probably the habit of a photographer who learned his stuff in the old analogue days :) But I think you should at least realise that optical "faults" in lenses can also have their own, unique advantages. So why … not just make use of them!
I love my cameras but there are those times where I just don't carry any camera with me. So when I saw this scene on my way back home from work in early October, I only had my mobile phone to capture it. With a little post processing in Lightroom (…it also imports JPG files), this is the net result:
My phone (Nokia 808) has a fixed 28mm equivalent lens. I have to admit that I'm not always so happy with that focal length. Now the camera manufacturer of my choice, Sony, has announced a 28/2 lens for the A7 system for early 2015, and I started thinking about that focal length. It seems quite some Leica M photographers use 28mm lenses because these are the widest you can use on some M bodies without the need for an external wide-angle viewfinder. I already have a 35mm so would a 28mm make enough of a difference? The more natural choice to complement a 35mm seems a 24mm.
Anyway, "The birds" would have worked with any of these focal lengthes. 24mm? No problem. 28mm? You see the result. 35mm? Why not. Apart from those situations where I can't move back any more because there's a wall, or where I stay at a bridge and can't change position, I am pretty happy with almost any focal length, it seems. :)
Looking into my website statistics, I realise that quite a lot of people are still reading this blog entry. I wrote it in late 2011 when the then-amazing new Sony NEX-7 and the Zeiss 24/1.8 lenses were announced.
Just out of fun, I decided to create a follow-up of that article and to outline a current – late 2014 – Sony APS-C mirrorless camera system for €2.500. I can't really say "NEX" any more because Sony marketing has dropped that name.
First of all, I'm currently not a Sony APS-C user. I used to have a NEX-5 and NEX-5N and while I did think about upgrading to the NEX-7, I was not so happy about the first-generation 24 MP chip inside it, so I skipped that body, opted for a nifty little Olympus E-M5 (a great 2012 novelty) and finally came back to Sony when the full-format A7R was made available.
Anyway, I do love some APS-C stuff that Sony makes. Especially the amazing Sony A6000. It's super fast, the 24 MP sensor is refined by now, and it offers real bang for the buck. So why not take that for a start of the late 2014 APS-C system.
Okay, while the photo below shows the body with the amazing little 16-50 kit zoom, I personally would never bother with a lens like that (which is not to say that it will surely deliver great results for a lot of people – but it's just not mine).
I've thought quite a bit of why I would opt for an APS-C system today instead of a full-format one. The first reason, of course, is cost. On the other hand, with €1.199 Sony A7 bodies, it does not seem that impossible to set up a €2.500 full-format system instead, and especially when you look at all those amazing prime lenses that are available today – both new and used – I just can't see myself going for a primes-only APS-C system these days. Instead, I'd concentrate on the points that APS-C does really well. Apart from lower cost, APS-C can offer great versatility and speed, when you select the right lenses.
If you are really on a tighter budget and want clear, crisp imagery more than anything else, I'd just have a look at the Sigma primes – 19/2.8, 30/2.8 and 60/2.8 for the A6000 body. They are cheap and very good.
If you, however, want to follow that route of great versatility, I'd suggest to have a look at the Sony zoom lenses. There's in fact one that I find really interesting as a standard zoom and that is … the Sony 18-105/4 G. While this lens has truly worrysome distortion characteristics, it's sharp, it offers an amazing 28-160 equivalent zoom range with constant f/4 aperture, thus giving nicer portraits with blurry backgrounds than other, shorter APS-C zooms. I'd always take a zoom with a longer end over one that's a bit wider at the other end. Of course, your mileage may vary.
But the 18-105/4 G is also really cheap! The A6000 bundled with the 18-105/4 G retail for about €999 in reliable German online shops as of October 2014.
Now you've got another €1.500 left and you can do a lot with that. Given that I already can cover anything up to 160 mm (in 35 mm terms) with my standard lens, I would go and buy the best telezoom lens available for the system: The FE 70-200/4 G.
I do, in fact, own this lens for my A7R. The image quality is very good. But it's not the perfect companion for the A7R due to that camera body's slower AF system and the A7R mechanical shutter introducing some vibration that can sometimes spoil images at specific shutter speeds. I have, however, once tried the FE 70-200/4 G lens on an A6000 body and all I can say is that this lens really sings with that body. It's fast, and it's really sharp and contrasty even at open aperture. Plus the OSS stabilisation works flawlessly.
So, just a body and two lenses and we're altogether at €2.400. From here, you could stretch your budget just a little bit and still take the 50/1.8 OSS lens that I already suggested back in 2011. You'd then have a nice portrait prime lens to complement your two zoom lenses. I do not think that you really will need much more than what these two / three lenses do offer.
Of course, I realise that I have selected two very big lenses. Wasn't it the point of all mirrorless cameras to be small and light-weight? Well, for what it offers, the 18-105/4 G lens is not really heavy. It looks bigger than it feels. And it's normally the weight, not the size, that makes you moan about carrying all that stuff around. The FE 70-200/4, of course, is a 840g lens. Yet still telezooms with that speed and reach just don't come smaller than that. And given the reach of the 18-105/4 G, you'll not have to lug the 70-200/4 around every time you leave your home.
Of course, most people would probably select other lenses than I do. That's the nice thing about 2014: Even for Sony users, there are now at least some more lens options available. So, I'd suggest you have your own fun with finding your personal dream set-up!
Here's a simple photomontage that I created of an A7R body and a picture of the upcoming FE 90/2.8 G macro lens that I took at Photokina 2014. The size of the new macro lens will be approx. 130 mm x 78 mm. For comparison, the current Nikkor 105/2.8 VR macro is shorter but wider in diameter: 116 x 83 mm.
As you already know by now from all the photos floating around the web, the new FE macro lens will feature OSS stabilisation, focus down to 1:1 life size, and it has a printed-on distance scale. Most likely, switching from AF to MF will be accomplished by moving the focusing ring forth and back, and we'll just have to wait and see how exactly the ring with the distance scale will behave e.g. when the lens is on AF. (Normally, these scales are behind glass on AF lenses so that no outside lens parts move during automatic focusing.)
So far, Sony says that the 90G macro – together with the other three new FE lenses that were shown at Photokina – will hit the shelves in March 2015. I hope they'll stay to their word as this would be just in time for the macro photo season 2015. :)
Having used only the Sony FE 70-200/4 or the OM Zuiko 135/2.8 recently, I figured it's about time to take out the Zeiss Contarex Sonnar 135/2.8 again for a spin. These shots are from a walk around the Rhine in Cologne on this nice first October weekend.
Mounted on the Sony A7R, the old Zeiss 135 certainly is not perfect wide open, with some color fringes. After all, it's not an apochromatic design. But it cleans up so much already at f/4 and f/5.6. It's just sharp and contrasty from corner to corner. You just have to love a lens like this for all it's classic quality!
A click on any of the shots below opens a 2500 pixel wide view. Enjoy!
… with the camera and FE 35/2.8, a gorillapod, that's all to it.
September 15, 2014: Sony finally announced some new FE lenses for their A7 camera lineup. One of them is a mighty Zeiss FE 35/1.4 lens to accompany the superb, ultra-compact FE 35/2.8 that was available right from the start of the system in very late 2013.
The other one that personally interests me is the new Sony G 90/2.8 macro lens. I got all that information from the usual rumor pages who "leaked" the images and, for a quick size comparison, I put together the product images of the FE 90/2.8 G macro, the Zeiss FE 35/1.4 and a well-known existing lens, the Zeiss FE 24-70/4 (on top of the image below).
Note that the Zeiss 35/1.4 will be the first Sony FE lens with a dedicated aperture ring.
As for the 90 macro, it comes with "G" label, OSS (optical stabilisation) and, according to the numbers on the barrel, true 1:1 life-size capability. As is the case with all the competition lenses in that class. Judging from my size comparison, I'd guesstimate the new Sony macro to be about 121 mm in length (give or take a few millimetres) which would put it right there with the Canon 100/2.8 IS (123 mm length).
No pricing info so far. My personal, more-or-less well-educated guess would be that the macro will be competetive in price to the Canon 100/2.8 IS or Nikon 105/2.8 VR offerings. As for a price for that nice Zeiss 35, I can only fear that it will be very expensive, even though the competition (Nikon 35/1.4, Canon 35/1.4, Sigma 35/1.4 Art) also should set some rough guidelines for Sony to follow …
These shots are from my visit to the Photokina 2014. They show how big these new lenses really have got. There's no size advantage whatsoever in comparison to other similar full-format lenses, other that you are going to use them on the light-weight compact A7 bodies, of course. But it quality will be as promised, I will certainly still go for them. :)
The Zeiss FE 35/1.4 Distagon promises to get a beautiful finish with outside metal barrel (that having said, I guess the internals will be plastic just as they are e.g. on the current FE 55/1.8). I'm sure that it will have optics to match the finish. I love that aperture ring. It's a huge lens, though. It will be longer than the Zeiss FE 24-70/4 zoom. No official pricing info yet. I hope it will come in at under 1.800 EUR but that's only a guess by my side.
By the way, the also brand-new Zeiss 35/2 Loxia (a manual focus lens dedicated to the Sony A7 range) is much, much more compact, only a little bit bigger than the Zeiss FE 35/2.8. Overall, you're getting the choice out of three 35 mm Zeiss-branded lenses in 2015.
This is the new FE 90/2.8 G macro. Similar to the existing 70-200/4 G telezoom, I expect the rear outside part of the barrel to be made from plastic. But as long as it all works flawlessly, why not. I like the printed markings on the lens barrel when you manually focus the lens. It's got a three-position focus limiter with the settable focus limit at either 0.5 metres (approx. 1:4) or 0.25 metres (1:1) distance from subject to camera sensor, apart from the switch for the optical stabilisation of course. I suspect it's an internal focus design as are all modern macro lenses.
It's roughly the size of any modern 10o/1o5 mm macro lens. Probably even a centimeter longer or so. No pricing info available yet, no idea of how heavy or light-weight it actually will be, but as you can tell, it has got no provision for a dedicated tripod collar.
As the Zeiss 35/1.4, this 90/2.8 macro is announced to hit the shelves in March 2015 and I will almost certainly get one for the next macro photography season.

What do you believe?
Over a year ago
I saw a topic, and I posted earlier, but I want to make a separate topic specifically for this topic. I don't generally like the idea of hijacking someone's topic.
Anyway, what's your personal beliefs, philosophically, religiously, and the like? Do you believe in the existence of a god, gods, or do you worship his Noodly Appendage? Are you an atheist, a theist, or simply believe there is no sure way of knowing? If you're an atheist, do you believe in some "supernatural" things or completely reject all things pertaining to mysticism and the like?
Personally, I'm an atheist and a humanist. I also have a few philosophical views that originate from religions. I practice yoga. It calms me and opens me up to a time for instrospection and "meditation" in a sense. I've made major life decisions based on what I finally saw in a yoga asana. My favorite's Chandra Namaskar (Moon Salutation). It's a good philosophy to live by, the Yamas and Niyamas (aside from the concept of God).
Anyway. What are your beliefs and philosophies? I'm curious. 🙂

@autumnrossi, you said you're more agnostic but you also said you believe in God. Agnosticism is the middle of knowing and not knowing, not taking a position on the stance or just not feeling any compelling evidence or arguments towards either side. An agnostic would not have a firm belief in God.
Do you mean you just no longer hold traditional Christian values? If so, the word you'd be looking for is simply "theist". It refers to the belief in God without connotations of any specific religious doctrines.
I'd love to hear your reply on this 🙂You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

I mean a church that preaches that homosexuality is a sin even, not homophobia lol.
I think homophobia is a sin to be fair. I can't stand homophobes.You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

I was baptised as LDS 5 years ago, and I consider myself Christian, but I don't attend church anymore. However I do study scripture.
I just can't associate myself with any church as such as I don't want to be associated with any church that preaches homophobia, free thinking, natural emotions, masturbation etc is a sin. Too many people have committed suicide over feeling like they're terrible people because of what Churches and people preach.
I just practice at home now I guess, believing that God is love and compassion.You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

I've recently decided that I'm more so agnostic than christian now. I believe in God, our creator , loving everyone, and bettering the world with love, positivity, etc. Also, I believe he hears our prayers. I feel that everyone builds their own relationship with Him and that as long as you believe what you are doing is for the right reasons and is right as well as with love, then you aren't wrong.

This search should be done in tennis shoes and long pants.
This Letterbox is one (or two) of my childhood memories, once you find them read what is in them and you will learn more about those memories.
Frome 101 North bound - Take the last right before you go over the bridge. Then take the first left and continue straight till you are at the jetty and find a place to park.
From 101 South bound - Take the first right after the bridge, then take the second left and continue till you are at the jetty and find a place to park.
#1 Go to the first telephone pole on the east end. Walk east along the road 38 steps. To your right are two small bolders, from these take the trail to the left for 35 steps. Take the trail to the left for 130 steps. You will see a road ahead of you to the east. Turn right on road directly after lightpost. Continue on road and follow curve slightly, take left off road between old growth and new growth. Go down steep short hill and continue until you come to a steep hill of sand to your left. On top of the hill you will see a tree with rope dangling from a limb. Beneath this tree is the memory you seek.
#2 - Find your way back to the Telephone pole (though be carfull you dont eat sand like I have many times) Beneath a rock you can sit, you will find the home of memory number 2

Sources: 9to5Mac, Network World
quote: According to multiple sources inside and outside the company, Christie's exit has been known for weeks — and planned for even longer. His stepping aside has been designed to allow for a transition of leadership inside the Human Interface group. Christie worked under Forstall for many years, and there may have been plenty of times he didn't agree with Ive, but there has reportedly been a distinct lack of drama in this transition.If there was any ill-will between Christie and Ive, it doesn't appear to have taken the form of any open conflict and a flare-up of friction was apparently not behind this exit. We hear Christie will stay at Apple a bit longer working on "special projects," in a similar manner to former SVP of Technology Bob Mansfield, until he exits. From what we understand, Christie was recently moved into a role with no direct reports, which is often the harbinger of retirement at Apple.
quote: I've been asking around since the news broke this afternoon. What I've heard, from several sources: Christie and Ive may not see eye to eye on UI design style, but his departure isn't nearly as contentious as Mark Gurman's report at 9to5Mac implies. The basic gist I've heard is that Christie is a guy who's been in a high-pressure, high-profile job for 18 years, most of it reporting to Steve Jobs. He's made a lot of money and is ready to enjoy it. That's largely in line with the Apple PR line given to the WSJ, but I heard all of this from ground-level Cupertino-area pixel-pushing designers.Interestingly, Christie's retirement was announced internally a few weeks ago — yet it didn't leak outside the company until today. Also interesting (and backing up the company line that his departure is not contentious): he's staying at the company until later this year — and from what I've heard, it's more like "end of the year". If it's ugly, why hang around?There's no way to spin the fact that Ive is taking more authority (or perhaps better said, consolidating all aspects of "design" under his direct authority), and surely that played some part in Christie's decision. But from what I've gathered, it is wrong to think that Ive in any way forced Christie out.
quote: Computer manufacturers never really would have started to understand the design part without Apple
