It is confirmed! I shall be there

I don’t think Jagerbombs are the shots they’re talking about I should be able to make it but I’ll confirm for definite tonight.

I finally got around to watching Mollys Game last night. Based on the true story of Molly Bloom who ran a high stakes poker game in America until the Russian mob joins and she gets arrested. I wasn’t too convinced by the trailer but it’s Aaron Sorkin so that convinced me watch it. It is very much in the style of Sorkin being very character and dialogue driven. The story and dialogue held my attention, well worth a watch 8/10.

Welcome welcome, always good to have another OCUK'er join the FG fold. Even better I already have you on PSN so less work for me

Hi Rob, unfortunately the D5100 is a cropped sensor though shipping to the USA wouldn't be cheap anyway. As for my prime, it is a Nikon 35mm 1.8DX.

@Spacedeck I’m out at the moment so can’t check the box but looking at Manfrotto’s site. I think it’s this one (If it isn’t, it’s one extremely similar). https://www.manfrotto.co.uk/compact-action-aluminium-tripod-with-hybrid-head-black Edit: I'm home now and can confirm it is this one.

I can’t say I know of any to specifically recommend as it depends on what comes up for sale. All I can say is go for a branded one and not some cheap one. I had a cheap one when I first started but it wasn’t all that stable and it has quite limited adjustment. My current one was about £60 new and is far more stable and much better quality. I’m more towards specific photo trips though where possible I’ll always take my camera just in case.

@Spacedeck From memory, all the bird ones are cropped except the duck one. All the others are as taken. Though depending on the photo some have sight level adjustments etc.
-
Sort of, as a general rule DSLR’s will just take better quality photos regardless because of the larger sensors in them than standard cameras / phones. However where DSLR’s have a massive advantage is changable lenses. In none of the bird photos was I actually stood that close, I simply was using a zoom lens. Equally changable lenses are also what makes DSLR’s a pain.

Hi all, With Spacedeck joining and talking about his interest in photography it has spurred me to make this thread as it is also an interest of mine. I'm sure there are others on here too so I thought I'd create this thread to show off you photo's, talk about them or for anyone looking for advice on camera's to composition. So I guess as I started this thread I should go first so I've been into photography for years finally upgrading to a DSLR about 10-12 years ago. A few different ones until getting to the kit I have below. Though I am thinking of making the change to a 7000 series Nikon but that is more of a shiny new toy itch rather than any actual need. My preferred photography is landscapes or people though as you'll see I take a lot of pictures of birds (the flappy flying kind not the female kind ) My kit currently consists of; Nikon D5100 Nikon 18-55mm kit lens Nikon 55-200mm zoom lens Nikon 35mm Prime lens Manfrotto Tripod Yongnuo Speedlight Skywatcher Star Adventurer star tracker Various remotes, reflectors, ND filters etc.

It was a good night, it took my a few races to get my groove back. Especially as I hadn’t raced some of them before
-
That is a nice entry level camera and a nice selection of lenses You should be able to get some nice pictures with it. It is cliche to say but it really is a case of going out and taking pictures and finding what you like. I went on holiday earlier this year and took about 400 photos but there is only (I think) 16 that I was happy to post. I keep meaning to create a photography thread on here and it would be good to see some of your when you feel confident enough
-
I’ve done the same as Phil, pre-ordered on Amazon just to get the beta code. Short of the beta being fucking amazing which let’s be honest - it won’t, I’ll be cancelling it.
-
I’ve never had a problem with it though I’ve really only used it in the last few years. I was rendering on a 3770 so not massively more powerful but maybe working with already compressed files helps. I really don’t know that much about video files. @Diddums how did I know you were going go link to that one! Forget that though, go full spec with dual socket threadrippers or xeons, a couple quaddro cards Can the FGFG fund stretch to £50k+?
-
Nice introduction! I’m far more into my cars than bikes but anything with an engine and wheels is an interest so good to have more petrolheads on here. You seem to have a hood selection of games which overlaps with most if what we play. I’ll try to remember to add you later on PS

Welcome to FG, it is good to see another OCUK’er join the fold. Don’t worry about being shy, the amount shit some people on here chat you’ll barely get a word in even if you want to Though most of the chat is related to taking the piss out of each other, moaning about something or other or telling to @Amnotright to stop telling his terrible jokes. Tactics and strategy are something other people do On the subject of photography, what camera do you have? Any particular things you like to photograph? It would be cool to see some of your photo’s.

Welcome to FG. It is always good to see fresh meat......I mean see a new face around here. It is good to have more PC people too.
-
What were you rendering / rendering on? I know Fraps doesn’t compress the video and Vegas will have more options than what I use. However that still seems excessively long. Using my Elgato to capture PS4 which admittedly does compress the videos as it records. However I can render out a 10 minute video in about 15-20 minutes. That was on my old PC, I haven’t tried my new one yet. Also a tip, download Handbrake to compress video files. It’s another 10 or so minutes of waiting around but you can reduce file sizes from 8Gb+ to under 2Gb without much loss in quality. Then upload times to Youtube are massively quicker.

With England playing better than I expected, I am hoping for a England v Belgium final just so I win either way

That is what makes it all worth it Everyone has a tough time once in a while and what sort of friends family would we be if we didn't look out for each other. -
It does make you question some of the decisions Bungie have made with this game. Generally it seems people like the Escalation Protocols so GG Bungie but why make it 9 player if you can't group up as a fireteam of 9 Oh well, good that people have found a way round that problem though I'll try and level up as quick as I can then I'll be down giving it a go.

Obviously I haven't tried the strikes yet as I'm still at D2 Vanilla levels but it is good to know they are a challenge. At times in the past the heroic strikes have been too easy in my opinion as with a decent team you could spend an entire evening doing strikes and not wipe. It does seem stupid about the drops from the Strikes, I sort of see why they did it as if it dropped up to 350 you could grind strikes to level up quickly but equally to drop lower level stuff is pointless.

It was another fun night of ..... can I say racing? and it was great to see so many people on, the races are a lot more fun once you have a 8-10+ people on together. The highlight for me was a race on Double Helix in which I managed to knock about 6 or 7 people off the edge Annoyingly my Elgato crashed during this race so I don't have a proper recording of it but I saved the clip on the PS4 so I need to see how much of the race I actually have. I also seemed to spend a lot of the night hitting @MrBiron I guess you just spend too much time near the front

Sunday's are the only evening that I can't do and very rarely will ever be able to do to ticked all the other days. I can't remember what level I am or what you need to be for the raid(s) so I'll need to log in and see where things are.
