Lost - seriously fuck that show Prison Break Heroes The Walking Dead Dexter
Are the first to spring to mind…
Around Black Friday time they have had sales and you get both for a year for around 20€ so the lifetime subscription doesn’t look so much of an attractive deal.
It blow my mind too. The scale of everything is just crazy. To think this is over 2.5 million light years away and the number of stars in it is about double the Milky Way. All the stars we see are closer and the galaxy is much further in the background. Just been watching a fantastic YouTube video about Andromeda and the whole space/time phenomenon is just mind blowing.. What a time to be alive to be able to capture and see these things without specialised equipment.. Amazing!
16:9 crop if it’s of use to anyone for a desktop wallpaper.
Thank you. I think it’s small in the sky and quite difficult to see. I used a star finder app on the phone; starting at 200mm until I found it then zoomed in and took some test shots at 600mm until it was in the frame. It’s still kind of a fuzzy blur in the frame. Then set it to take the images and it’s only once you stack the images and then stretch that the details really come out. It’s really great fun from start to finish. (My first edits were dreadful; learnt a lot through a discord forum on how to do the processing)
Yes, I had dabbled a bit with astro photography with wide angle lenses and thought the zoom might be too heavy for the mount. Used a Sky Adventurer 2 tracker and had to use an additional weight to balance the lens.
Really happy with the way it turned out.
Sexy Beast - fantastic film; one of the best opening scenes put to film. It has everything from fantastic acting, great story, great music and just an all round enjoyable film.
I wonder how many injuries were caused. That stepping stone game must have broken it’s fair share of shins and teeth…
Currently live in Portugal and the rail network sucks. Talk of a high speed link through Spain but Spain doesn’t want to play ball. Central Europe has great rail but move to the edges and it’s absolute ass. (Have lived in Germany and France where the situation is much better)
This makes sense. There’s too many streaming services which leads people to piracy. Reducing the number will drive people to the one platform. If you make it easy for people to obtain content the rights holder will get paid.
I stopped pirating about 10 years ago as it was easier just to pay for the service and stream. Then the providers got greedy; complete segregation of the content not only by platform but also by region. Streaming was no longer easy; you don’t know what platform the show/film is on or if it’s available in your region. So now it back to the high seas for films and TV shows as well as paying for an IP TV service that includes movies and TV on demand as well as live streams.
It all to do with ease of use and accessibility; I mean the music piracy has dropped off a cliff due to Spotify.
To be fair I pretend to be my own secretary when answering cold callers.. I urge others to do the same. You can get them running round in loops..
