Excellent work - really nice to see the creativity you put in to that gift! Love it!!

Thus the “late 80’ies”…

The 80s ended in September 1991. One week “Use Your Illusion” was released, which meant it was still the 80s then. The following week “Nevermind” was released, so obviously the 90s started sometime during that week.

This is terrific, I’m totally stealing this line to drop at my next dinner party.

early nineties ?

Extreeemely late eighties

Nineteen eighty twelve.

1992, the year that was late to the 80's

Also called ‘perspective’ and the only way to change it is to move the position of the camera

It does not matter if you crop an image taken with a 50mm lens to get the same area of the motive as taken with a 300mm lens from the same ‘standpoint’ - there will be no difference between foreground and background (except for grain and noise - but that’s another story… ;-)

You have to move the camera to change that.

This is often seen in movies (those shot on real film) as opposed to on video as zoom lenses are often used without moving the camera, film based often use a dolly to move the camera. The effect of combining zoom and camera movement to keep the same crop of the foreground while having a dramatic effect of the background quickly getting larger/closer (or vice versa) is really effective - also in illustrating this concept.

In my early life (before taking the education as a photographer) I was really liking wide angles as it brought ‘life’ in to a lot of pictures. Wide as in 24 mm for my 35mm camera (Nikon F2, from 1973 should you wonder) was a favorite, replacing my 28 mm.

Too bad full frame digital is still so expensive. Using a 14-24 f/4 on the DX format in (Nikon D7100) just is’nt the same.

So now the iPhone is the most used camera (you know - the camera you have with you…!)

The ‘proxy’ part on MacOS (which I think was a thing way back to System 9, 8 and maybe even 7) is something I have always missed in the Windows world. Also being able toneart a path in to an open/save dialog to get the path there is a thing I miss!

Are you sure you can't do that? I remember putting an URL there and being surprised that it actually downloads and opens it.

USB keyboard?

Just came back from a vacation in Japan, and completely agree - even compared to the (much better than SF) danish public transport system the Japanese are orders of a magnitude better on so many levels!

Nu then - having 37 mio people just in one city, Tokyo, does require you to get the logistics in order (all of Denmark is just around 6 mio…)

Beautiful - I sent a ping and hope it was delivered and have a small dopamine kick ;-)

It was, thank you so much <3

ThirstyInRome I presume (the only iOS app returned when searching for ‘Fountains in Italy’ :-)

Thanx - sounds like what I need ;-)

Thats the exact reason i dichted my dock and connected the monitor directly to my labtop. 30 Hz is way too low, I need 60 (or maybe 50 would have been enough - I’m in the PAL part of the world ;-)
