![]() In this image the sun was out of frame, but I was still able to capture the flare without the blown highlight of the sun. When I detached the lens, I ended up having a bit more control over where the ring was placed. If you notice in the other flare images the flare is right on the edge of the frame. This is an example of a freelensed image. I ended up moving around a bit to get the flare positioned around the cherries. It’s just off to the right side of the image. Taken right around golden hour so the sun was low in the sky. It was taken mid-afternoon with strong sunlight. This was one of my first accidental sun flare images. ![]() I’ve seen others that make a purple, pink, and red. Side note: Not all of these lenses produce the same color sun flare. This will allow you to “move” the flare to different areas of your image. Try to freelens (if you’re comfortable doing that). Tilt your camera ever so slightly away from the sun so it can “catch” on the lens. Place the sun at the edge of your image (or partially block it with a tree, window, wall, or something). Shoot at a higher aperture to get different shapes (example below). Tips: Shoot at a low aperture to get the circle. And, oh my goodness, if this isn’t my most favorite sun flare of all my lenses. Pretty early on, while I was trying to get all my bokeh shots, I accidentally turned my lens full on into the sun and found a sun flare. Check out these courses that will help you get creative with photography! ![]() This is an example of where I moved the subject to have the lighting I was looking for. It was mid-morning and the sun was bright on the water. This was a set up image, I picked the blue flower and placed it on some wet pavement. These little flowers are pretty small, and behind them were other flowers and grass with dew drops. I handheld the camera and squirted the water bottle, but it would totally have been helpful to have someone else spraying or have the camera on a tripod. I added some water from my spray bottle which caused the background weeds to catch the light, and the smaller foreground bokeh dots is water spray catching the light. And this little plant was surrounded by other weeds (honestly, I’m so bad at making sure the garden is weeded, but it DOES make for some nice background every once in a while). It should toss all those light specks into beautiful circle bokeh.įor the image above, it was mid-afternoon in the summer. Then I like to place my subject with a little space from the background and focus on the subject. I like to look for backgrounds that will produce good bokeh to begin with: things like water drops, trees with light filtering through the leaves, morning dew, etc. Like I mentioned above, I was first drawn to the bokeh this lens produces. Just a reminder to be gentle on yourself and embrace the look. You can definitely have an in focus and out of focus image, but even the in-focus ones will be just a tad softer than if you were using a newer lens. One more thing to note before we get going, this is a vintage lens, and as amazing as it is, it’s not going to be super tack-sharp like the more modern lenses. Also, because it’s manual focus, I like to use the live view on my camera with focus peaking turned on. Once I received it (about 6 weeks later, due to international shipping), I pretty much left it on for close to a month.īecause this is a manual focus lens, and a slow-to-focus one at that, I highly recommend starting out with stationary subjects: flowers, other nature items, abstract, or the like. Here are my tips, tricks and some inspiration for creating with the Helios 44-2 lens! After a few weeks of this I got curious enough to go try to find one and promptly purchased one. Nearly every time it turned out to be this unknown-to-me lens: The Helios 44. and seeing all these absolutely amazing bokeh filled images. Way back last summer, I was scrolling my recommendations page on Instagram. ![]() Vertical tracking angle: The body of the cartridge and the tip of the stylus should be directly parallel to the record surface while playing.The azimuth adjustment lets you rotate the tonearm slightly in each direction to make sure it is correct. Azimuth adjustment: The stylus on the cartridge should be directly perpendicular to the record itself. ![]() If neither your stereo system nor your turntable incorporates a phono preamp, you’ll need to buy an external one. Many audio receivers and some powered speakers have built-in phono stages. Some turntables have one built in some don’t. Phono preamp (aka phono stage): A phono preamp is needed to amplify and equalize the sound coming from vinyl.This is adjusted at the end of the tonearm opposite the cartridge. Apply too much and you’ll cause excessive wear of the stylus and the record itself. ![]() Apply too little and the cartridge and arm will bounce around, skipping constantly.

Performing the different procedures such as replacing a heart or pulling teeth is great fun, and then there are the alien autopsy stages which are on a whole ‘nother level. The devs could have adopted a scheme seen in Loading Human or Job Simulator where items would go back to their original positions if accidentally dropped it would have made things a lot more bearable. Spacial limitations of the PlayStation Camera makes this a bigger task than it should be, which is something you’ll definitely need to take into account for a smoother experience. You’ll also need a lot of room to play Surgeon Simulator, as dropping a tool means you have to bend down and pick it up. It’s troublesome, especially when all you’re trying to do is simply grab the bone saw. Moving the floating hands onscreen worked particularly well as the PlayStation Camera tracked the controllers brilliantly, but if you moved where your virtual mitts can’t, your hands turn skeletal. Fighting with the collision detection is the first battle you’ll face, though. It’s a strange control scheme that is key to success here. Pressing the large top buttons closes the thumb and index fingers, and pressing the triggers closes the rest of the hand. ![]() ![]() Using the PlayStation Move controllers works the best. It required individual key presses to control each finger which, in turn, made the simplest of tasks almost impossible but, at the same time, it also made it hilarious but for the wrong reasons.ĭevelopers Bossa Studios have translated Surgeon Simulator to the PlayStation VR with Surgeon Simulator: Experience Reality by not only using the headset’s magic to place you next to the operating table, but making it more playable by simplifying the controls. Surgeon Simulator first hit PC in 2003 putting a twisted, humorous tone on a normally serious situation. With all the tools at your disposal, life or death in the palm of your hands, the beeping ECG machine all in front of your very eyes, it all comes together to create a strange game that is unlike any other. With all the experiences granted to us thanks to the unhinged accessibility of virtual reality, being stood next to an operating table with a patient awaiting procedure has to be the most bizarre. ![]()
It was forced to sell its Canadian subsidiary, itself in weak financial shape, and started a massive reorganization. Īt this time, Willys decided to clear the boards and produce two new models – the 4-cylinder Willys 77 and the 6-cylinder Willys 99 – but since the firm was once again on the verge of bankruptcy, only the 77 went into production.

This vehicle was picked up by International Harvester, who installed their own 213-cubic inch engine and offered it in 1933 as the International D-1. This was not a sales success, with a mere 198 units being built. There was also a pickup truck version of the Whippet, called the Willys-Six C-113 (reflecting its wheelbase in inches). Production of the Willys-Knight ended in 1933. Whippet production ended in 1931 its models were replaced by the Willys Six and Eight. ![]() In the economic depression of the 1930s, a number of Willys automotive brands faltered.

Willys–Overland dealer at 388 East 5th Street, Texarkana, Arkansas, circa 1948 (In 1925, the Maxwell car company became the Chrysler Corporation.) Walter Chrysler and the three engineers who had been working on the Chrysler Six all moved on to Maxwell- Chalmers where they continued their work, ultimately launching the Chrysler Six in January 1924. The plant built Durant's low-priced Star, while the Chrysler Six prototype was substantially reworked to become the 1923 Flint. Durant, then in the process of building a new, third empire. The Elizabeth plant and the Chrysler Six prototype were sold to William C. To raise cash needed to pay off debts, many of the Willys Corporation assets were put on the auction block. Chrysler had three auto engineers: Owen Skelton, Carl Breer, and Fred Zeder (later nicknamed The Three Musketeers) begin work on a new car, commonly referred to as the Chrysler Six. Chrysler to sort out the mess and the first model to go was the Willys Six, deemed an engineering disaster. The New Jersey plant was replaced by a new, larger facility in Indianapolis, and was to be the site of production for a new Willys Six at an adjacent site, but the depression of 1920–21 brought the Willys Corporation to its knees. In 1916, it acquired the Russell Motor Car Company of Toronto, Ontario, and the Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Company in Buffalo, New York, by 1917, New Process Gear, and in 1919 acquired the Duesenberg Motors Company plant in Elizabeth, New Jersey. John Willys acquired the Electric Auto-Lite Company in 1914 and in 1917 formed the Willys Corporation to act as his holding company.

I played it by myself and it urged me to comment it with anybody! :) Oh, and also, I came to know very recently that a kind of OVA came out based on the game, its called “Dimensional Adventure Numa Monjar” ( Jikū Bōken Nūmamonjā) and its incredible! :) Well, to sum up, I had so much fun playing chrono trigger I would really love If someone can share too his/her experiencie with it. There are ridiculously crazy finals, sad finals, dark finals, there is even a final in which - I think, because i didn’t get it- you can find the game creators! Is genious! Everybody talked so much about the Stanley parable and yes, its cool, but don’t talk to me about crazy-extraordinary finals if you don’t live the moment in which <3 (….no, I won’t do spoilers). ![]() From all of the great stuff this game has to offer, the greatest of all has to do with the finals, they are SO MANY POSSIBLE FINAAALS! I said to myself “I will achieve EVERY FINAL IN THIS GAME”, but if you ever say that to yourselve, you will be lying. Chrono trigger is full of epic moments, and I appreciate that a lot, moments that you will never forget and one day you are just laying in your bed thinking how bored you are and how senseless is life but suddently you remember one of this moments and life is great after all. Also, the battle mechanics are very confortable for someone like me who is used to real-time battles, I got used quickly. The characters are unique, I loved so much the design was so Toriyama <3 the music is beautiful, que time travel is done great! You will fight from dinosaurs to robots, from imps to shadows and blood yolks, and all of it makes sense in the story. In these days, I’ve played and tried a lot of games that amaze me in their graphics, their mechanics, their innovatios, but its very difficult for me to find what I love the most: GREAT STORIES, and chrono has one of the best, in my opinion. I dont have anything new to say, everything has been told about it and im sure most of you (who like games) have alredy played it, but I think the acclaim will be never enough. Nothing convinced me entirely until I saw a video made by my dear MatPat in which he explained how Chrono Trigger could be retteling the bible (being Chrono one kind of god), and I thought that was one of the coolest arguments I could get to play a game, so I did. Before I played the game, I read a lot of things about it that it was one of the greatest games ever, that it was the first game that introduced the time travel-thing so well, that the story was one of the most great ever, etc. The game is a RPG developed by God (Squeare/Square Enix), created by the FF series creator, Hironobu Sakaguchi, and the Dragon Ball series creator, Akira Toriyama. The games that I loved the most were Earthbound, FFVI, FFIV, a Link to the Past (yes, all mainstream) and Chrono Goddamn Trigger. Some years ago, I decided to play all the SNES games I didn’t because they were “too old”, “too pixelated” (yes, that was me, only willing to play the newest harvest moon/animal crossing/mario games). |
