These solos are written for the beginner level student assuming you can already play a few simple solos or lead breaks. The music is written in standard notation and tablature in three distinctive guitar tunings. If you are just starting out and you are having difficulty-finding solos for your level - look no more. Having written or contributed to several volumes of Celtic guitar music over the course of four decades, El McMeen offers fresh and unusual concepts in these 30 fingerstyle arrangements of both familiar and lesser-known Celtic tunes. the mandolin and fiddle share the same tunings so their solos are just written once for both. Within these pages you will find solos for the entire band: lead guitar, rhythm guitar, banjo, mandolin, fiddle and bass.

With the introduction of the Creative Cloud branding in June 2013 (and in turn, the change of the " CS" suffix to " CC"), Photoshop's licensing scheme was changed to that of software as a service subscription model. Photoshop CS3 through CS6 were also distributed in two different editions: Standard and Extended. However, in October 2002 (following the introduction of Creative Suite branding), each new version of Photoshop was designated with " CS" plus a number e.g., the eighth major version of Photoshop was Photoshop CS and the ninth was Photoshop CS2. Photoshop's naming scheme was initially based on version numbers. Its feature set can be expanded by plug-ins programs developed and distributed independently of Photoshop that run inside it and offer new or enhanced features. In addition to raster graphics, Photoshop has limited abilities to edit or render text and vector graphics (especially through clipping path for the latter), as well as 3D graphics and video.

What I liked was that there wasn't long distances to walk, as walking gets tedious quickly. I found myself hearing collision sounds despite being well away from objects or vehicles. The car can be a bit 'slippery' to control and collision detection isn't great. You either drive or walk, with driving being a very enjoyable experience as you can fly with quite a bit of freedom. The simplistic gameplay serves Cloudpunk well. Elaborating further would risk spoiling the story so I'll stop, but the lack of impact of decisions and anti-climactic ending marred my experience somewhat. what this does mean is there is some replay value. A second playthrough would probably illuminate this for me but I have other games in my backlog to tend to. A key mechanic seems to be the choices you can make throughout the game, and while these are interesting, I didn't notice how much of an impact these choices made. A handful of characters are consistent throughout the game and become very memorable despite never seeing more than a thumbnail picture of them. Quite an unremarkable premise, however it's the character development that is most remarkable about this game. Cloudpunk is an illegal delivery company and you are working your first shift for them. ![]() The story of Cloudpunk is the bread and butter of the game. A smoother framerate would have brought the game closer to five stars. The main issue I had with the graphics was the framerate drops, especially when transitioning between areas. I noticed that there is a lot of pop-in when driving around and this causes issues when driving at higher speeds. Despite this, I found the graphics mesmerising due to the omnipresent neon lights. Graphically, Cloudpunk is immediately different not modern AAA standards but instead a retro and pixellated graphics system that is actually quite befitting of the cyberpunk theme.

5/6/2023 0 Comments Google reader alternative 2017![]() ![]() The scientific literature needs a tool like this - we have hundreds and hundreds of new articles coming along all the time, and while scrolling through them in RSS isn't ideal, it's a lot better than any other solution I've come across. One size doesn't fit all.Īnd that's where Google Reader will be missed, unless someone else can step up. I am feeling more like a dinosaur every time I say this, but I don't own a tablet (or not yet), and I wish that web sites would find a way to deliver their content both ways: in concentrated blasts of scrolling info for people using a more conventional desktop (or who just like it that way) and in big, flippy, roomy, tablet-screen-sized chunks for those who like it that way instead. What I already know is this: many RSS-based services seem to be colorful-picture-tile things (like Flipboard), and for the chemical literature, they're of no use to me. And The Old Reader seems to be an effort to recreate the service as well, going back to some sharing functionality that Google stripped out a while back in the interest of promoting Google+. And now the search is on for a replacement.įeedly is apparently trying to clone the service on their own, so that's a possibility. ![]() Problems had been apparent for some time now, but this still took me by surprise. Google Reader is to be shut down on July 1. Well, as you've probably heard, the site that many of us have been using to do all this is closing. (No more "new journal table" in the library, is there?) Journals are updated constantly, and that's the most concentrated way to get all the new information in one place for flipping through. And I feel sure that many readers here follow the current scientific literature that way. I suspect that many people follow this blog through its RSS feed. ![]() 5/6/2023 0 Comments Tiltshift adapter![]() and so yes, Depth of Field in closer circumstances (like within a few meters or yards) is much more challenging. What all that capture area implies is that to get a "wide angle lens" equivalent to a P14mm f2.5 you'll need a 90mm. Go grab a blank sheet of A4 paper and draw a rectangle of 4" by 5" on it then in the middle of that draw a rectangle of 0.78 x 0.59 inches (yes) and then you have the sensor size of a 4x5 sheet of film and a m43 camera. One needs to grasp a few things about "view cameras" (which I've been using for quite a many year) such as base tilts, center tilts and the "front stand" (where the lens is) and "back stand" (where the film is) variants of that. making the current ones on eBay which behave more like the TS-E Canon lenses (which I used to own before I sold out of Canon) where tilt or shift is employed only on one axis and you rotate the mount to get the "tilt plane" (or shift direction) you wanted. Its difficult to master because really you need to "tilt the camera body" (you'll see that effect in my video) and has no geared method (as do the eBay ones) and is totally free. There are plenty on eBay to choose from now. The work you want to emulate is made with very specialized, high-end gear, and it's unreasonable to expect the same can be done on the cheap.I bought a tilt only adapter from a guy in Italy back many moons ago (clearly he manufactures them) which is based on the bottom of the adapter moving (on a ball joint) closest to the camera. I cannot imagine there is a truly "cheap" or "easy" way to get what you want with the equipment you have. ![]() ![]() The Olympus PEN T/S kit you referenced is, as noted, from a FF lens onto a 4/3 sensor, so the effect is analogous to a much larger image circle onto a FF film/sensor. Tilt and/or Shift functions demand a much larger image circle in order to project the image onto the film/sensor with any offsetting adjustment. Second, as I tried to explain, the focus circle on standard lenses will typically just cover the film/sensor area. It is uncertain whether or not a "useful" focus range will be maintained. Infinity focus will be lost, while the close focus distance will be reduced. As I tried to explain above, and as touched on by RJ, there remain two main physical issues with your desired approach: First, as per RJ, adding the thickness of any adapter will be similar to adding an extension tube, as for macro work with non-macro lenses. I cant find any that goes from OM mount to OM mount Yes - outlining exactly what you want to achieve is really helpful to get focused advice. ![]() Possibly, you could remodel the LensBaby’s mount to suit an OM Mount, if you have the skills and the tools, or a technician could possibly do that – but maybe that would cost more than just buying a Canon or Nikon SLR.īy the way, there's no need to apologize: this is a Beginner Forum and it is understood that you might have only a basic understanding of some things - that's why a continuum of conversation will usually get to the hub of what you really want. Obviously you’d need a camera: I’d expect there are many Film SLRs for next to nothing nowadays. Samyang (Rokinon) make a T/S Lens for Canon and Nikon and it is marketed at a lower price than the Canon similar lens. In any case, as I have already mentioned above, and to the best of my knowledge the cheapest variant is LensBaby: they make a “LensBaby Spark” and also the “LensBaby Composer Pro”.īoth are very basic optics, but, neither is anywhere near the price of a quality T/S Lens.Īs I also previously mentioned, I don’t know if they make these for OM Mount, my guess is not, but they do make them for Nikon and Canon. It’s a bit confusing to me as to whether you want: “Tilt” or “Shift” or “Shift and Tilt" - these are different. Any suggestions to a fairly cheap analog setup, that can use a tilt setup? ![]() ![]() ![]() Proctors at exam testing centers are resetting all financial calculators back to original factory settings.Īs a result, any settings for compound interest and decimal settings are being deleted.

They were referred to as " bucketheads" by Rebel pilots, due to their bulky helmets. The TIE pilots formed the elite of the Imperial Navy's Flight Branch. ![]() Distinguished by all- black flight suits and bulky, fully enclosed, vacuum-sealed helmets, the Galactic Empire at its height produced millions of TIE pilots and generally considered them expendable assets. TIE pilots served in the Starfighter Corps of the Imperial Navy by piloting the various TIE Series starfighters. He's new at using the TIE/SF gunning system by he's by no means inept." Lemme describe an Imp pilot for ya, Artoo-lotsa guts wrapped up in a little skill with no brain." ― Cade Skywalker, to R2-D2 (Or, for that matter, who's to say that we're not seeing a close-up of the gunner half the time? Their helmets are identical.)įurther discussion about the new TIE/sf and why Finn and Poe don't wear life support helmets like other TIE pilots: Why did the TIE Fighter in Force Awakens have Life Support?Īlso of interest: a discussion of Finn as an exceptionally talented stormtrooper. He'd be totally blocked by the pilot and the chair, but just because we don't see a gunner onscreen in any other TIE fighter doesn't mean he isn't back there. One final observation: because the seats are directly back-to-back, it's unlikely we'd see the gunner in the classic "head-on close up of a random TIE pilot" shot that we usually get during dogfights. Compared to flying a foreign ship, using the weapons system is definitely the more straight-forward job. Even though Poe is the "best pilot in the resistance," he's in a very tricky situation - flying a ship he's never flown before that's tethered to the wall surrounded by enemy fire. No word on whether Poe could take control of the weapons from the pilot seat, but he's pretty busy in the moment. It's not like Poe is going to kick Finn out of the cockpit and desert his new friend to certain death or "reprogramming," so they make the best of the situation they're in. They're both fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants kinda guys so this lack of meticulous planning in a stressful scenario is totally in character for both of them. They've clearly only roughed in the plan (it's a surprise to Finn that Poe plans to return to Jakku) but it's definitely been decided that Poe will pilot (in the "You need a pilot." exchange) and he doesn't find out Finn isn't trained on weapons until they're in their seats. This is in keeping with the First Order's military philosophy, which values individual, skilled pilots more than the Empire did, so having specialized roles of gunner and pilot in their more elite fighters makes them more effective.įiring backwards is crucial for Finn and Poe's escape from the hanger, as that's how they fight off the stormtroopers attacking them, and destroy the hanger bay command center. There is a rear window for the gunner (along with their targeting equipment), and the TIE/SF can fire backwards and forwards. Finn patrols the ship and would be able to lead Poe to a hanger bay that houses the kind of ship they are looking for.Īs confirmed in Incredible Cross Sections The Star Destroyer Finalizer definitely has more than one hanger bay and a fleet of fighters larger than the few we see in the scene. TIE/SF fighters are clearly marked with a red blaze on the hull, and someone more knowledgable about TIE fighters could recognize them by other features. ![]() The TIE/SF has a number of new features that make it ideal for their escape: mainly that it's a two-seater and has a hyperdrive, both necessary for Poe and Finn to a) escape together and b) escape the system. Though we don't get to watch Finn and Poe formulate a plan for escape (for pacing concerns in the film) it's likely that stealing a TIE/SF Space Superiority Fighter is their primary goal and best chance of success. Poe & Finn escape the Star Destroyer Finalizer in a TIE/SF Space Superiority Fighter, not a normal TIE Fighter. ![]() |
