Medium format vs frame high iso1/7/2024 ![]() ![]() This is just 16,000 pixels out of 36.5 million and 60.5 million respectively (0.04% and 0.025% of the frame respectively). Phase One IQ 160 with 75-150mm at 80mm and f/5.6 on right (same angle of view). But if you print bigger than that you will definitely see a difference in fine detail.įigure 1- Nikon D800E with 24-70mm at 50mm and f/5.6 on left vs. Compared to something like a 22 megapixel Canon EOS 5D Mark III you will start to see some differences but this is mostly due to the much lower dynamic range of the Canon sensor. If you generally don’t print much larger than 11×15 (A3) or even 12×18 (Super A3) and your photographic technique is good, you will be hard pressed to see much of a difference between a 36 megapixel D800 and a 60 megapixel Phase One IQ back. Whether this maters or not largely depends on how big you print. Distant grasses that are muddled on the D800E still show individual blades of grass on the IQ sensors. ![]() The difference is plainly visible when cropping down to a small detail within the frame where the 36 megapixel 35mm frame might record a small blob as a small feature like a barn in the distance, the Phase One backs still records actual wood detail. Let’s get one thing out of the way right up front! The D800E is no match for the 60 or 80 megapixel digital backs for recording fine detail. Second, since flash does not need to synchronize with a moving focal plane shutter, any shutter speed can be used in flash photography. By using the much lower mass and smaller leaf shutter built into these lenses, focal plane shutter vibration is eliminated. The 645 format focal plane shutter is large and can cause some vibration even when using mirror lock-up. First, since the lenses use an internal leaf shutter, shutter vibration is significantly reduced. These lenses are leaf shutter lenses which have two advantages over regular lenses that use the camera’s focal plane shutter. The lenses I used were mostly high quality Schneider – Kreuznach optics designed to cover the full image circle of the large 645 sized sensor. The sensors are approximately three times the surface area of a full frame 35mm sensor. The Phase One IQ digital backs are full frame 645 sensors available in 60 and 80 megapixel resolutions. I also had a D800E with me and used it occasionally to take comparison shots for later evaluation. It was a full immersion into the Phase One Medium format system for about 18 hours a day. I then shot with the Phase One system for 7 days for an average of 6 hours per day and spent another 2 hours per day talking with Phase One pros and others very experienced with the system. Since I have the opportunity to handle and test many camera systems from most manufacturers, I am able to learn a new system very quickly. By the time I took my first real photograph, I felt very comfortable with the camera, digital back and lenses. I then spent about 6 hours hands on with the camera and back prior to taking the first photograph. I thoroughly familiarized myself with the camera before arriving via online resources. ![]() I joined Phase One for a shoot in the Dolomites in Northern Italy to fully evaluate the system including the 645 sized sensor digital backs, it’s lenses and the Phase One 645DF+ digital camera. In September I had the opportunity to photograph with what is widely seen as the highest quality digital photography format available to photographers and test the validity of this statement. Much has been written in the last 18 months stating that new high resolution cameras like the Nikon D800 and D800E equal medium format image quality. ![]()

Bucky falcon and winter soldier1/7/2024 ![]() ![]() “The Zemo character is going to lend a lot of voice to You can see what he thinks of it,” he said. And after getting walloped by Black Panther, Zemo appears to be rotting in a jail cell, doing what all good captured criminal minds do: chess.Īs creator Malcolm Spellman told AV Club in a recent interview, Zemo’s opinion hasn’t exactly matured since his first encounter with Earth’s mightiest heroes. Bucky, under the assumption the Flag-Smashers and their stolen Super Soldier Serum must have connections to Hydra, decides the only way to figure out what the hell is going on is to connect his ol’ frenemy, Helmut. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier episode 2 only gave us a hint of Zemo. Zemo’s path in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier We won’t say that it’s because Baron Zemo co-creator Jack Kirby hated drawing ears, but we will say that there’s a lot of circumstantial evidence. The Marvel Cinematic Universe may have chosen to go a different route with Zemo - one that’s less about Nazis and more about person grevances - but Falcon and the Winter Soldier looks like it’ll bring back the hood, at least. And when he died in a battle against Cap and the Avengers, his genocidal cause was taken up by his son, Helmut Zemo, who also honored his father’s “legacy” by wearing a stupid-looking ribbed purple hood, often with a gold circlet. ![]() When the Avengers hauled Cap out of his ice block years later, Zemo was still alive, and still wearing that ribbed purple hood that he couldn’t get off his head. But he dealt Cap and his teenage sidekick Bucky a significant blow when, towards the end of World War II, he orchestrated a plan that left Bucky presumed dead, and Captain America lost in an icy ocean. In his first battle against Captain America, the hood that he wore to conceal his identity was accidentally permanently bonded to his face, which he didn’t much appreciate. ![]() In the comics, Heinrich Zemo is literally a Nazi scientist. Image: Stan Lee, Jack Kirby/Marvel Comics The ensuing rift between Captain America, loyal to Bucky, and Iron Man, really mad about his parents, sundered the Avengers - and Zemo’s revenge was complete ( Captain America: Civil War). Specifically, he showed Steve and Tony that Bucky killed Tony’s parents, Maria and Howard Stark, while making their deaths look like a car accident. Zemo’s scheme involved both framing Captain America’s long-lost best friend for some murders he didn’t commit, and revealing some of the secret murders he actually did commit while brainwashed. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it’s weirdly easy to pick up old Hydra diaries full of Russian code words for brainwashed assassins. And a bit of torture later, he uncovered a subliminal trigger phrase that would send Bucky into a killing frenzy. They did do that.)īut Zemo had also done his research, tracking down the former Soviet operatives who, back in the day, had created the Winter Soldier. Zemo is Sokovian, and when his wife and children were killed in Ultron’s attack (in Avengers: Age of Ultron) he blamed the Avengers for creating the evil machine intelligence. The last time we saw Helmut Zemo, Wakandan hero T’Challa, aka the Black Panther, had captured him and turned him over to the Joint Counter Terrorist Centre for doing quite a lot of crimes, including killing T’Challa’s dad, the king of Wakanda. With his return playing a key role in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, here’s a quick refresher on how Zemo became Bucky’s worst nightmare - and viable informant. If it’s not fresh in your memories, the newly initiated arc might be foggy - he spent most of the movie hovering in the background as Steve and Tony punched each other in the face. if you remember exactly what happened in Captain America: Civil War. A scene between the ex-Winter Soldier and Zemo is tense. ![]() In episode 3, Sam and Bucky go one step further than a consultation by breaking out their old enemy to aid in the investigation of the mysterious Power Broker. note: This post contains spoilers for the latest episode But Marvel’s Disney Plus series has taken Zemo in a different direction: part Hannibal Lecter, part Suicide Squad. Was Zemo the big bad of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier? Trailers showing off the Captain America: Civil War villain in his classic purple-masked costume from the comics suggested that the aggrieved Sokovian mastermind would once again duke it out with the Avengers. ![]()

The release of iOS 4.3 added support for the iPad 2. The release of iOS 4.2.1 brought compatibility to the original iPad and was the final release supported on the iPhone 3G and 2nd generation iPod Touch due to significant performance issues. This was also the first major release to be free of charge for iPod Touch users. For example, both devices lacked multitasking, and the ability to set a custom home screen wallpaper. The iPhone 3G and the second generation iPod Touch were capable of running iOS 4, but had more limited features. With this release, Apple dropped support for the original iPhone and the first generation iPod Touch, which is the first time Apple had dropped support for any device in an iOS release. It was the first version of the operating system to be called "iOS", due to the iPad being released. iPhone OS 2Īpple announced iOS 4 in April 2010, and released it to the public on June 21, 2010, alongside the iPhone 4. It was succeeded by iPhone OS 2 on July 11, 2008. iPhone OS 1.1.4 is the final version of iPhone OS 1 for the first generation iPhone, with iPhone OS 1.1.5 being the final version of iPhone OS 1 available for the first generation iPod Touch. IPhone OS 1.1 was the first version supported by the first generation iPod Touch. ![]() ![]() It also lacked support for third-party native apps, and only supported web apps, which was criticized by reviewers and developers, including John Carmack. IPhone OS 1 was criticized for its lack of support for Adobe Flash web content, copy and paste, and Bluetooth stereo headphones. A number of different user interfaces were prototyped, including one that involved a multi-touch click-wheel. Many on the team were skeptical of the feasibility of a touchscreen keyboard, and believed that users would prefer hardware keyboards. During the development phase of iPhone OS 1, "probably 16, 17 different concepts" were developed. No official name was given when the iPhone was released, and Steve Jobs just said "iPhone runs OS X".

While it's true that Bing Chat has started to roll out plugins to users, you can count them all on two hands (for now), and they're available only in Microsoft Edge.

With Bing Chat, you're able to chat, compose content, generate images, and get summarized answers to complex questions-all in one interface. "I have not seen something like this since I would say 2007-2008, when the cloud was just first coming out," Nadella told CNBC's Jon Fortt in an interview following Microsoft's event.But I've been keen to try out Microsoft's new Bing AI chatbot to see if it lives up to the hype.
