Anyone know how to filter my online experience?
Anyone know how to filter my online experience? - Lemmy.World
The last time Trump won, there was this constant barrage of scandals and frankly horrifying news permeating my online experience. And while I admit that from my European perspective, there was some entertainment in the whole thing, the experience was more exhausting than anything else. I like to keep up with the news, but I also like my mental health. Are there any effective strategies for keeping the amount of trump-spam I’m exposed to at an absolute minimum, while also keeping up with whatever else is going on in the world?

A study in what a pair of hands can do in a shot. Hands are a big part of a shot I’m planning, and every bit of research into how you can play with the motion helps. Scanned top to bottom over about two minutes, open lens, two well placed tube lights to get the drama going.

This is a fairly old one, from a few months after the camera was built. An artist friend asked me to document one of his rooms, he was into installation and sculpture at the time. I agreed on the condition that I had complete freedom in how the documentation was done. This was the second time working with this model, and she is one of the very few models I’ve worked with for whom the time shift effect has properly ‘clicked’. No direction required, just time and play. The blanket-waterfall stuck. Scanned top to bottom in about two minutes.

The nyquist sampling theorem is a cornerstone of analog to digital conversion. It posits that to adequately preserve an analog signal when converting to digital, you have to use a sampling frequency twice as fast as what a human can sense. This is part of why 44.1 khz is considered high quality audio, even though the mic capturing the audio vibrates faster, sampling it at about 40k times a second produces a signal that to us is indistinguishable from one with an infinite resolution. As the bandwidth our hearing, at best peaks at about 20khz. I’m no engineer, just a partially informed enthusiast. However, this picture of the water moving, somehow illustrates the nyquist theorem to me. How perception of speed varies with distance, and how distance somehow make things look clear. The scanner blade samples at about 30hz across the horizon. Scanned left to righ, in about 20 seconds. The view from a floating pier across an undramatic patch of the Oslo fjord. *edit: I swapped the direction of the scan in OP

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/17697235 [https://lemmy.world/post/17697235] > One of the results of a collaboration with a dancer. Once the motion-aspect of scanning photography clicked with her, it was a blast playing around for a few hours. This is a quick scan, left to right in about 20 seconds.

The last shot I posted gained some traction, so I felt like sharing some more of what I’ve done with my scanner camera. The scan is done from top to bottom in about 2 minutes, the model did a great job of staying still throughout. While scanning motion is definitely eye-catching and spectacular, there are other qualities to appreciate. The gorgeous soft, yet tack sharp aesthetic of large format photography is easily available with a scanner. Usually I fight the IR-super sensitivity of the sensor, but this time it made her skin iridescent against the rock in the background.

Taken on a small group of Islands in the Oslo fjord, called Hvasser. A 15 meter peice of fabric playing in the wind, scanned right to left in 21 seconds. Got really lucky with the clouds this time, allowing a single beam of sunlight in as a highlight.
