Whatever you do, break your habits and question your wisdom.Otherwise, you will be enslaved from your habits.Even it costs so much power to break our habits and to start new as a beginner… We have no other choice if we want to live an exciting life.Many relationships fail because the spouse is too boring. The wife or husband looks for excitement outside of their marriage. Many firms fail because they don't find new opportunities to monetize or better offer for their customer. Be the inventor or you lose.For instance, in the camera field, the market shrank to 90% within 6 years (see link at the end). Fujifilm reinvented their cameras and their cameras are far better than from the market leaders Canon (42% of the market) and Nikon (31%). The Pro is choosing Fujifilm (9%) over Nikon and Canon. The old traditional optical viewfinder from the DSLR cameras is out. Nikon even has no camera in the DSLR area with an electronic viewfinder,- how stupid!!! Nikon and Canon have all the techniques, don't have to invent anything new; they just have to adapt to the market. But they don't like and so they lose. Fujifilm and Sony win with their electronic viewfinder; smallest, lightest, full metal camera-body, 4K video, and the best images. After the news, Sony is today the market leader in the USA with over 60% sold cameras during Christmas!!!Sleeping never works! The same was true for Samsung in the Smartphone business, Nokia lost and Samsung became Number 1. And today Oppo and Vivo smartphones overtake the market from Samsung…Today, the world changes fast so we have to find always new solutions.Do You like to become a dying Nikon or Samsung?Make a list in which area you like to become better and a list in which area you think that you are the best or don't need to become better. Think out of the box.Every night before going to sleep ask you yourself:How can you improve for both lists? With which amazing new things you can begin?How can you live an exciting life?

When you collect vintage film cameras, if they don't work, just send it out for a CLA and some technician will take it apart, clean it up, lube what needs lubing, calibrate the shutter and it is ready to go, good as new! How boring! If the simplicity of CLAing a film camera is not enough of a challenge for you, perhaps you should consider collecting vintage digital cameras. Incompatible memory cards, legacy file systems, unsupported USB cables, and batteries which no longer hold a charge are all the rage! Although the era of digital cameras barely exceeds three decades, the earliest days of digital saw a tremendous amount of innovation and strange designs because camera makers were still trying to figure out what and how a digital camera should look and work like. In this episode, the Camerosity crew (minus Anthony) go over this early innovative era of digital camera design and pick out some of the coolest cameras of the era. Many of these cameras have early sensors which do not stand up to the quality of modern designs, but that's not why we collect them, Joining Paul, Theo, and Mike are returning callers AJ Gentile, Larry Effler, Mark Faulkner, Miles Libak, Pat Casey, Stephen Strangways, and Will Pinkham and we cover a great deal of history regarding the earliest and most important digital cameras like the Kodak DCS-100, Nikon E2Ns, and Minolta RD-175. We declare two cameras from the late 1990s to be historically significant moments in camera design, on par with that of the Leica and Nikon F. Stephen Strangways shares with us his wide depth of knowledge about camera sensors. We discuss the differences between CCD and CMOS sensors, why companies made the switch between the two, motivations of Live View, and why DSLRs eventually gave way to digital mirrorless cameras. We discuss the limitations of early CCD sensors, what are hot mirror filters, why we think Nikon missed the mark on mirrorless, plus we cover a great deal of cool digital cameras, some of which have features cameras today don't have, like the Sony Cybershot DSC-F828, Olympus E-100 RS, Panasonic GF1, and the Ricoh G900. In addition, Mike shares his large collection of 17 Pentax Q-series cameras, plus a very strange "camera coffin", a wooden Nikon rangefinder camera that has the guts of a Sony alpha mirrorless inside. As it is officially the holiday season and each of our schedules has gotten increasingly complicated, we do not yet know when the next show will be, or what we will discuss. Rest assured, that once we know, you'll know. Be sure to follow us on our Camerosity Podcast Facebook page, the Camerosity Discord server, our new BlueSky page, and right here on mikeeckman.com. In This Episode What Exactly is 'Vintage Digital'? / Differences Between Still Video and Digital Cameras Kodak Had the Most to Lose with Digital But Pioneered it Anyway Apple Quicktake 100 / The Kodak DCS-100 Was Used in the Gulf War Did Kodak's Involvement in APS Impact Their Role in Developing Digital Cameras? Early CCD Sensors Were Extremely Difficult to Make, Resulting in Smaller Sensors The Sony Digital Mavica Was the Beginning of the End for Polaroid The Digital Mavica Was Also the Introduction of Digital to Many People Floppy Discs Gave Way to PCMCIA Cards and Eventually Flash Cards So Many Different Formats, MemoryStick, SmartMedia 3v and 5v, Compact Flash, etc Minolta RD-175 DSLR / Early Digitals Didn't Write JPGs / Converting Extinct Formats Sony Cybershot DSC-F828 / Sony's Night Shot Feature and How it Worked / Digital IR Photography Early Digital Cameras Had Weak IR Filtration, Throwing a Color Cast on Images / Hot Mirror Filters Why Did Digital Cameras Switch from CCD to CMOS Sensors? / Live View and Video Recording Problems with Sony Sensors / Canon and Fuji FinePix Pro SLRs / Leica M9 Sensor Problems Early Live View Sensors Would Overheat / Externally Cooling Camera Sensors What Drives the Popularity of CCD Sensors Today? Larry and Paul Love the Canon G-Series / Canon Color Science / Olympus E-100 RS Sigma Foveon Sensors / Foveon Merrills and Quattro Cameras The Nikon D1 Was the Watershed Moment for DSLRs / Nikon E2Ns Canon Did Well with the Digital Rebel and 18-55mm Kit Lens Kodak DCS Pro SLR/14 Was the First Full Frame DSLR In a Nikon Body and Mount Polaroid Polachrome Instant Slide Films The Switch from DSLR to Mirrorless / Panasonic GF1 / Sony SLT Cameras Nikon One and Pentax Q-Series Mirrorless Cameras / Nikon Missed the Mark On Mirrorless "No one will ever shoot the Superbowl with a smartphone"...or Will They? Digital Mirrorless Cameras Generally Have Poorer Battery Life Compared to DSLRs Most Camera Makers Never Made a Profit off Making Digital Cameras In February 1986 Herbert Keppler Made Several Predictions About Electronic Cameras Leica M11 / Pentax W90 / Canon Digital Rebel / Epson R-D1 / Pentax 645 Digital / Ricoh G900 Kurt's Strange Nikon Rangefinder Wooden Sony Digital Camera / Hasselblad Lunar and Stellar Digicams Links The Camerosity Podcast is now on Discord!

A24のシビルウォーちょっと面白すぎた。絶対なんかデカい賞とりそう。アメリカの19の州が分離独立して政府軍と内戦する戦争映画かと思いきや、戦場カメラマン視点で描かれてて、とにかく映像というか絵がやばい。戦争映画かなり見てるけど映像クオリティでいったらNo.1。戦争をこんなかっこよく描いたらダメだろレベル。映画に登場する主人公の戦場カメラマン、過去に賞もとってるベテランの方がSONYのα7使ってて、23歳の駆け出しカメラマンが父親から譲り受けた古いNikonのカメラ使ってるんだけど、意図的に映画自体も一眼カメラの絵作りというか、映画ぽくない映像がガチかっこいい

Talvi yllätti suomalaiset jälleen hyiseydellään, mukaan lukien ylläpidon jäsenet. Kylmyydestä huolimatta omiin etästudioihinsa palaavat tällä kertaa Petri Leskinen sekä Niko Lähteenmäki, joka toimii tuttuun tapaan ohjelman juontajana. Ensimmäisellä puoliskolla perehdytään The Game Awards -ehdokkaisiin ja pohditaan muutenkin Geoff Keighleyn roolia tämän juhlagaalan yhteydessä. Onko kategorioita liikaa tai tarvittaisiinko mahdollisesti jotain lisää? Miksi ehdokkaat herättävät närästystä vuodesta toiseen? Miksi show on niin julmetun pitkä? Toimitus sai taannoin hoteisiinsa PlayStation 5 Pron. Puhetta riittää täten kyseisestä laitteesta sekä sen ominaisuuksista ja tarpeellisuudesta. Käy myös ilmi, että alkutaival on tuonut mukanaan yllättäviä ongelmia. Mediakörnerissä puhuttaa jälleen Game of Thrones, joka on edennyt nyt neloskauden loppuhetkille Nikon taloudessa. Poikkeuksellisesti jäsen N on käynyt myös leffateatterissa, jonka johdosta puhetta riittää rajusti mielipiteitä jakaneesta Joker: Folie a Deuxista. Petri puolestaan pamauttaa analyysinsä Gladiator II:sta, Anorasta sekä Smile 2:sta. Pelien osalta on ollut hiljaisempaa. Petrin konsoleissa ovat saaneet ruutuaikaa lähinnä Loco Motive sekä vanha kunnon Minecraft, kun taas Niko on viihtynyt muun muassa Metaphor: ReFantazion, Sonic x Shadow Generationsin sekä Horizon Zero Dawn Remasteredin parissa.

About Joseph Nounou Md, Mba From a young age, Joseph Nounou MD, MBA, possessed an unstoppable passion for helping others and a thirst for knowledge. A fifth-grade project on the heart convinced him that a career in medicine was his life's goal, and he went on to graduate from medical school and residency to become an anesthesiologist. It was during this time that he began developing a way for anyone, even those with no medical training, to administer life-saving medication to victims of drug overdoses. In order to understand the business aspects of getting such a product into the hands of consumers, Dr. Nounou attended and graduated with an MBA from the Haslam School of Business at the University of Tennessee. With his medical and business training, as well as his belief that the power to help each other should belong to each of us, Dr. Nounou developed the ResPen – an affordable, accessible way to save lives. https://aurospharma.com/ --------------------------------- About Autumn Carolynn My name is Autumn. I am a freelance travel writer and photographer based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I've traveled to 31 countries, 48 states, and 6 continents.

Everyone get out your Aqua Net hair spray and G.I. Joe lunchboxes because it is time to hop in the Hot Tub Time Machine and go back to the 80s! In this, the 80th episode of the Camerosity Podcast, we revisit the decade where Michael Jackson and Madonna reigned supreme, taking a look at everyone's favorite cameras from that decade. The Nikon F3, Minolta Maxxum 7000, Olympus XA2, the Minox 35 series, Contax RTS II, and many, many more. Joining Anthony, Paul, Theo, and Mike on this show are returning callers AJ Gentile, Mark Faulkner, Miles Libak, Mina Saleeb, Pat Casey, Patrick Rapps, Will Pinkham, and first time caller Christopher Wells. Each person shares stories of the cameras they used during the 1980s, but Patrick Rapps didn't get the message about the 20th century and went back all the way to 1889 with his beautiful and fully functioning Kodak No.2 String Set. This camera was the follow-up to the original 1888 Kodak and shares many of the same design features, including that camera's distinct round film gate! We get into a little bit of history of early point and shoot cameras and how their autofocus systems work and why so many of these early cameras consistently have such high image quality. We discuss the history and merits of Kodak's Disc film cameras and two features of those cameras that influenced cameras that would come later. We revisit the era of electronic still video cameras like the Canon Xap Shop and the original Sony Mavica. We talk about focusing auto focus cameras and reflect back on how focus screens work from the Rick Oleson episode. Theo shares with us a strange 3 lens 110 film camera, and finally, we answer a question asked in the Camerosity Facebook page about a recommendation of a compact SLR for a 10 year old. As always, the topics we discuss on the Camerosity Podcast are influenced by you! Please don't feel like you have to be an expert on a specific type of camera, or have the level of knowledge on par with other people on the show. We LOVE people who are into shooting or collecting cameras, no matter how long you've been doing it, so please don't consider your knowledge level to be a prerequisite for joining! The guys and I rarely know where each episode is going to go until it happens, so if you'd like to join us on a future episode, be sure to look out for our show announcements on our Camerosity Podcast Facebook page, the Camerosity Discord server, and right here on mikeeckman.com. We usually record every other Monday and announcements, along with the Zoom link are typically shared 2-3 days in advance. Our next episode will be Episode 81 and we are planning on tackling the complex and wonderful world of Zeiss-Ikon. Since the recording of Episode 80 however, some scheduling conflicts have come up which may require us to pivot this show and postpone it.

We hear from participants at this year's Cranky Dorkfest, the U.S. Marine Corps flew the XQ-58A Valkyrie drone with four F-35B fighters, American Airlines flew a B787 from Dallas to Brisbane in a 15 hour and 44-minute flight, a pair of corporate flight attendants are suing their employer, airlines are reacting to flight restrictions over Russia, and the Portland Jetport is replacing the firefighting foam with something more environmentally friendly. Also, a self-propelling ionic thrust wing, an exploding satellite, and thoughts on DB Cooper from an expert parachutist. Cranky Dorkfest 2024 Brian Coleman recorded interviews at Cranky Dorkfest on September 14, 2024: Melissa - Why she keeps coming back. Her husband is former military mechanic. Benny - A first-timer with a unique Boeing airplane-related telephone number. Jvan - He took home last year's brick mosaic. This is his 3rd year participating. Matt Sauchelli - He's shooting with a Nikon mirrorless camera and a long lens. Ben Grenuchi and Heather - From NYCAviation. Ian Petchenik - Director of Communications at Flightradar24 the live, global flight tracking service. Also, the co-host of AvTalk podcast. Brett (Cranky) Snyder. The man behind it all. For Those Who Didn't Attend, Here's What You Missed at Cranky Dorkfest This Weekend Aviation News Marines score aviation firsts with F-35 squadron, drone test and more A Marine Corps XQ-58A Valkyrie drone completed a test flight last week at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida. Col. Derek Brannon, branch head for the Cunningham Group, deputy commandant for aviation said “The flight focused on the use of tactical data links to enable digital communication between the XQ-58A and an airborne four-ship of F-35Bs from Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 214 and other joint aircraft.” XQ-58A Valkyrie, courtesy AFRL. The XQ-58A Valkyrie is a low-cost, high-performance, reusable unmanned air vehicle developed through an Air Force Research Laboratory partnership with Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. This vehicle is an example of an “attritable” aircraft designed to be used for several missions, but built at a cost that permits it to be a combat loss. American Airlines' longest flight set to be one of the most tracked in the world The American Airlines inaugural flight from Dallas to Brisbane in Australia was heavily followed on Flightradar24. Director of Communications Ian Petchenik said people worldwide “are especially keen to watch the livestream of the landing.” The Boeing 787-9 (N825AA), flight AA7, made the trip in 15 hours and 44 minutes covering a great circle distance of 13,363 KM. See Flight history for American Airlines flight AA7. Overworked Private Flight Attendants For Co-Founder of The Home Depot Claim ‘Inept' Colleagues Kept Their Jobs Because They Were in ‘Romantic Relationship' With Boss Two private flight attendants filed a lawsuit claiming they were overworked while working for the co-founder of The Home Depot, while “inept” co-workers had romantic relationships with their bosses. The two FAs, who quit their jobs, said they sometimes worked 26 days per month and around 90 hours per week. Why It's Harder Getting to China As a result of the war in Ukraine, non-Chinese airlines are no longer entering Russian airspace, so some are discontinuing service to China, or reducing frequency. Demand for flights to China is down, and the cost of avoiding Russian airspace in time and fuel is significant. Virgin Atlantic is dropping its flight connecting Shanghai to London, LOT Polish Airlines is suspending its Warsaw-to-Beijing flights, and SAS plans to stop direct flights between Copenhagen and Shanghai. Chinese airlines are adding capacity. PFAS-free firefighting foam coming to jetport The Portland (Maine) Fire Department plans to replace the AFFF firefighting foam used at the Portland International Jetport with PFAS-free foam.
Unlock the secrets of living a meaningful life as we challenge popular misconceptions about Ikigai in a conversation led by AI co-hosts. Could it be that passion alone isn't the key to happiness? Journey through the complex dimensions of Ikigai as we revisit insights from the book "Ikigai Kan: Feel a Life Worth Living" and Japanese psychiatrist Miko Kamiya's seven psychological needs, from life satisfaction to self-development. We'll dismantle the Westernized Venn diagram interpretation and debunk the notion that Ikigai is solely an Okinawan treasure. It's time to understand how these elements contribute to a truly fulfilling life.Our exploration doesn't stop at individual well-being; we also dive into the broader societal implications of Ikigai. Drawing from Nick Kemp's perspectives, we examine practices like Nikon, yutori, and shinrin-yoku that emphasize gratitude, relaxation, and connection with nature. Discover how cultural nuances and language can impact not just our personal Ikigai but also that of others. And as AI technology advances, we explore how it might offer new sources of meaning and purpose in our rapidly evolving world. Whether you're curious about the philosophical depths of Ikigai or its practical applications, this episode promises a transformative insight into living a balanced and purposeful life.
