I'm the opposite. Video was never a consideration for me, yet I've shot about 2 minutes of video in the couple years I've had the camera.

Pi, you should give it a try sometime.

I will watch when I get home.


Video is nice but not a major thing for me. If I need it then its cool to have.

They clips are from a drift competition. Not great by any means but they do capture more than the stills I shot, even though I prefer the stills.

Amen to that, Robert!

I do use my credit card to pay for just about everything but that's just so I can hold on to my money a little longer (I haven't paid interest on my CC in ages, though). And also so that I can accumulate CC points for free stuff (I have a 32" Sony flat-screen TV and a Les Paul electric guitar which I got for free with my CC points).

Hmm will have to check that out.

btw, any suggestions how to light Film Noir like shot? Sort of Sin City look?

Hah, I was just writing down some ideas for a film noir shot the other day.

If by that you mean go party. I did that when I was 16, not too proud of it. In Luxembourg the age for alcohol and tobacco is 16.

Sweet, right up my alley!!! I hate the MF so thats why I stopped haha


> that episode of house

Well, I've been busy so I have no idea what any of you been talking about, but I got a question that needs answering.

B&H finally got the opal glass in for the Mola dishes. Yeah, yeah, I've yet to use mine, but I still want the glass. I always liked the word opal.

I don't see anything in the accessories that holds it. Do I have whatever I need to mount the opal glass by dint of having the setti and whatever accessories came with it? I also purchased the Mola hardware kit already so have extra of those metal tube thingies and extra screws, etc.

I just selected a small aperture and picked a focus distance that was "kinda in the middle." Hand holding a camera while panning cars isn't going to allow that much sharpness anyway. Vincent is a trained professional so maybe he could pull it off, but I don't even qualify for the "Aspirational Prosumer" segment of the pie chart, let alone "That one episode of 'House.'"

Mine is held on with metal tabs.

I have few ideas, but I dunno how to do it properly. Will have to test it out this evening. Also sad that I don't have B&W film + chemicals. Think it would look so much better than digital + photoshop

The Opal comes with 4 clips you screw onto the metal tube thingies.
There´s a blog entry over at the Mola blog that shows a step by step instruction how to mount both the PAD and the opal glass. Very informative...

That´s the link: http://mola-light.com/blog/?p=425

Hugging his Mark IV, rocking up and back slowly, and whimpering softly. Yet another boatload of crap Coolpixes? I just can't believe it.

Dave F.

why can't you believe it? Didn't I tell ya they were coming out with ZERO this time? But PDN is around the corner, maybe something up their sleeve for then instead of a rabbit.
