Sony has introduced a collection of new Creative Looks with the A7 IV. Sony A7 III: 5 steps, Standard stabilizationīoth cameras have 5-axis in-body stabilization, but the A7 IV boasts a slight improvement in stabilization of 5.5 stops versus 5, and it also has a new ‘Active’ stabilization mode.Sony A7 IV: 5.5 steps, Active mode/Standard stabilization.Sony A7 IV image stabilization unit (Image credit: Sony) Sony quotes 79 raw+JPEG images for the A7 III, which is very good for a camera in this class, but practically unlimited raw+JPEG capture with the A7 IV, thanks to its new BIONZ XR processor and CFexpress Type A card slot. Continuous shootingīoth the Sony A7 IV and the older A7 III can shoot continuously at 10 frames per second – but there is a BIG difference in the buffer capacity, which is the number of frames they can capture before slowing down. We look forward to testing the new camera to see if there are visible real-world differences. Interesting, the A7 IV offers an expanded maximum for video that’s 1EV lower at ISO 102400, where the A7 III’s stills and video ranges were the same. ![]() ![]() Nevertheless, the maximum (expanded) ISO setting is the same at ISO 204800 for stills. ![]() Sony says that the new A7 IV has better noise control at high ISO settings than the older A7 III. However, the higher resolution does not make any difference to the maximum video resolution, which stays at 4K. The Sony A7 IV has a new 33-megapixel sensor that offers significantly higher resolution for stills photography and also puts it one step ahead of similarly priced rivals from Nikon and Panasonic.

1/18/2024 0 Comments Krita tutorial beginer projects![]() The keys Cntrl, Shift, Alt, and right-click all interact with the tools you are using, it is in your best interest to learn what they do with each tool you use. 50 and change them to be more or less sensitive as you like. In krita the "dynamic brush tool" (looks like a half oval with a dot inside the curve) is your best friend when drawing lines, when you select it, the tool options bar in krita shows you two sliders "Mass: " and "Drag:" try scribbling around with the dynamic brush selected and playing with those sliders until you find a setting that suits you bonus tip, start with both of those sliders at. The selection tools work wonders in all kinds of digital art, I suggest you pay attention when you watch other people using them for their drawings and paintings, those tools can ease and speed up your work so much if you learn how to use them properly. In Settings>Configure Krita> Keyboard shortcuts, set one to flip your canvas horizontally, when drawing our eyes get used to the thing we're drawing cause we stare at it too much, flipping the drawing "resets our eyes" allowing us to see errors our brains would otherwise just ignore this is very useful when drawing faces, and especially eyes. Work with layers, the more layers the better, and name them, this will help you avoid so much confusion and frustration in the future. Opacity and Size (top right bars on Krita) are how you change the size and transparency of your brushes. When opening a new file, make it BIG, like your screen resolution in pixels x2, this way you won't run into the problem of having done a drawing for ants. If you're using a drawing tablet, make sure to set the pressure of your pen right, this is usually done in your tablet's settings program. ![]() At the same time I think it’s a great opportunity to learn and grow.Things you should do beforehand and that a lot of tutorials just assume you already know and extra tips: It’s really challenging for me to get the hang of painting from reference like this. Around day 19-30 I was really unhappy with the development of my style and so I decided to work more with references and closer to a realistic style, starting with day 36. There are only four days where I didn’t really follow my own rule (two mandalas, one collab and one creature). I think this limitation really helped me to find a focus and move forward. Day 1-40 for the 100 day challengeįrom the beginning of the challenge I knew that I wanted to concentrate on drawing characters. The idea of the challenge is to draw/paint something every day. I’m also currently working through a 100 days of art challenge. ![]() I’m not finished with this painting, I hope I will be able to finish it next week. I wanted to integrate some mushrooms at first but it felt too cluttered. Some branches are growing out of the head. So for the final project I decided to work with Krita again. Photoshop is not the tool of choice for me. Again, I have no disrespect for the artist, but this tutorial didn’t seem to be for me. You watch her paint most of the time and learn some shortcuts. You don’t learn enough basics in those hours. And painting portraits is not that simple. I’ve always needed my teachers to give me some tasks to work through. 1/18/2024 0 Comments Nucleo stm32 tutorial![]() Loop between /* USER CODE BEGIN 3 */ and /* USER CODE END 3 */ section (this will preserve your code after regeneration).While C may be the preferred language of many embedded programmers, C++ does have a place, especially if you want to use certain libraries, like TensorFlow Lite for Microcontrollers.

This study aims to examine efficacy of eidetic image therapy in comparison to cognitive behavior therapy for treating depressive and anxiety disorders, and to compare the patients' dropout ratio in these therapies. ![]() Ahsen’s theory of eidetic imagery and its ISM model has been proved by the modern literature, in neuropsychological perspective (i.e., Gains et al., 2004 Slotnick et al., 2005 Patel et al., 2007 Ganis & Schendan, 2008 Holmes & Mathews, 2010 Ji et al., 2017)īackground & Objectives: Depression and anxiety are common mental health disorders around the world. Ahsen (1965, 1968, 1977a, 1984) compiled and extended their work more scientifically and established eidetic imagery as an independent school of psychology with a well-formulated set of principles about the function and structure of the image and the state of consciousness. Reviewing its vividness, sensory and somatic components, many researchers began to study imagery under the name of ‘Eidetic Imagery’, in the realm of psychology. The strong relation between affective-somatic processes and imagery was emphasized. Mental imagery has been used for various therapeutic purposes several approaches to mental imagery were critically analyzed and recommendations were offered for future inquiry. Psychologists studied imagery under the term of ‘Mental Imagery’ and identified its role in learning and memory, and defined it as a process (not as merely a picture) (i.e., Finke, 1989). From Aristotle to Ludwig Wittgenstein, almost all the leading philosophers acknowledged the significance of imagery in one way or other (i.e., Watson, 1913 Aristotle, 1930 Allport, 1924 etc.). Literature reveals that imagery and its significance have been demonstrated by a number of philosophers. The study critically analyzed the evolution of eidetic image psychology, from its philosophical background to the scientific neuropsychological evidence. 1/17/2024 0 Comments Redline mx 24 2015 specsSix factory performance Mustang models were available (GT, Boss 302, Boss 429, Shelby GT350, Shelby GT500, and the Mach 1). ![]() The 1969 Ford Mustang featured numerous performance-themed model names and engines. However, "GT" was deemed insufficient to describe performance, thus the Mach 1 model name was introduced. This was a strong performer and indicated the direction of the 1969 Mustang. Late in the 1968 model year, Ford introduced the 428 cu in (7.0 L) Cobra Jet FE engine in a small group of Mustang GTs and into the 1968 Shelby GT500KR. After a few years of development, Ford saw the need to create performance Mustangs to compete with GM and their release of the Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird.Īs the performance war continued, the Mustang's platform and engine bay were progressively redesigned to accommodate larger engine blocks. The Ford Mustang was successfully introduced in April 1964 as a sporty pony car to attract younger buyers to Ford products. This concept vehicle used a cushion of air as propulsion on a circular dais. This generation of the Mach 1 was discontinued after the 2004 model year, with the introduction of the fifth generation Mustang.įord first used the name "Mach 1" in its 1969 display of a concept called the "Levacar Mach I" at the Ford Rotunda.

I wore my reefs, hubby loves his Tevas, baby girl has a million pairs of Old Navy flip flops and my son wears these Under Armour slides. Goggles – our kids wore these, as did many kidsįlip Flops or Sandals – For walking around the water park. One bathing suit for each day of the trip (we stayed one night, so we had two suits each) including swim shirts for the boys Now that I’ve been, here is what I would for sure bring next time (and keep reading for what I might leave at home). A new trip, to a new experience, well that just stresses me out! I scoured the internet reading posts, and talked to many local friends about what to pack. Since you CAN stay at the water park all day, not sure why you would pay more, to spend LESS time in the main attraction? Guess it depends on how far your ride home is! (If you have utilized this option, and found it worth the money PLEASE tell me more in the comments).Īs my loyal readers know, I have a love/hate relationship with packing. However, for us, the difference between checking out at 11am and 2pm was not worth the extra cost. A hot shower and a chance to really freshen up after a day at the water park would have been great. After our stay, we would have definitely paid extra to be able to check out of our room at 5 or 6pm (which is not an option, we asked). When booking you can choose from the standard check out time, or for about $60 more, have a 2pm checkout. ![]() There is a fairly hefty “resort fee” and tax added to the advertised rate.

There are larger rooms that sleep 8, perfect for large families. There are a variety of room configurations – a standard room fits four, we opted for a KidKamp suite which sleeps 6 in a queen bed, a pull-out couch and twin bunk beds.At Great Wolf Lodge Poconos PA, it was 8pm each evening. You must check out of your room by 11am on check out day, but you can stay in the water park until it closes. You are not guaranteed access to your room until 4pm the day of check in, but you can access the water park as early as 1pm. Remember the resort total includes your room accommodations, and essentially a day and a half at the water park for room guests.I paid less than $250 (total) for a KidKamp Suite, which is an unheard of price.Ī few tips about booking your room at Great Wolf Lodge: I had been looking at Great Wolf rooms and prices for a few weeks, and got lucky to hit a sale. When you book a night at Great Wolf, you have access to the water park at 1pm on the day you check in. Sunday night.Īnother consideration was that little man had a soccer game on Sunday afternoon and we would not arrive until later in the day.

This was our first visit to an indoor water resort, and our first trip to Great Wolf Lodge. The Ultimate Review of Great Wolf Lodge Poconos PA ![]() Great Wolf Lodge supplied my kids with their own Paw Passes for purpose of this review. Since my kids have been begging, I mean BEGGING, to go to an indoor water park, I knew a night at Great Wolf Lodge Poconos PA would be the perfect destination for this fall break! With some random fall days off, Election Day & Veterans Day specifically, I wanted to plan a little getaway where we could have fun, spend time together and maximize the small break from our daily activities!

Other improvements are more subtle, giving more visual clues to damage (purple means you fumbled your attack, blue are criticals, etc.) and spell interactions.Īdding to the gameplay mechanics, all players now have a charge bar at the bottom of their screen. There are eight critters to choose from (up from the original two), but none of them beat my little goggles-wearing ferret “Tookit” – he’s awesome. They can now equip little trinkets to make them more powerful they’ll attack your enemies, look super cute, and carry your loot back to town so you don’t have to! Just as before, you can send them to town with a shopping list for items like potions and various scrolls. Speaking of pets, your little critter sidekicks get a bit of an upgrade too. Little things like this keep the pace moving, even with quite a few players in the mix. Shift clicking items when your pet inventory is open automatically transfers them across. Pressing it with no open windows brings up your stat window and character paperdoll/inventory. Similarly, if you press the space bar all open windows are closed. Sure, you can still use them in your quickslots, or perhaps assign lesser potions to those locations to switch things up, but it’s a nice subtle change. Simple improvements include pressing Z or X to drink your highest-value health or mana potion. ![]() Improvements abound in the interface, but they are actually quite subtle. Sony PULSE Explore wireless earbuds review - Planar Magnetic Thumpers The fact that the frame rate never wanders is just icing on the cake. Even at the highest resolution, the game doesn’t push your graphics card a whole lot, making the game more accessible to a wider audience. This means you can turn off the display of any vendor trash, or any value of magic items – handy for when you want to keep playing after completing the game – just not sure why it’s buried like that. Surprisingly, buried in here is also a cool option that allows you to simply turn off the display of any loot under a certain value. It also supports UI scaling (a rarity in PC gaming and non-existent on any console title), Anti Aliasing, adjustments to map opacity, and various other display options. Torchlight II supports 16 resolutions ranging from 800×600 all the way up to 1920×1080 (update: we’ve confirmed resolutions including 2560×1440!), and clearly anything in between. That isn’t to say that there aren’t improvements – there are plenty of those. Torchlight II continues that tradition, adding very little to the overall interface and just sharpening an already-solid looking graphic engine. Torchlight featured a very simple format, giving players health bottles, mana bottles, and a semi-cell shaded look that has become the series’ signature style. None of that really matters a whole lot…let’s get to the heady task of whacking things with spells, swords, and sticks and making gold and items explode out of them like twisted little piñatas! This Blight has destroyed the town of Torchlight, enabling The Alchemist to corrupt the guardians of the world. Courtesy of partner Klei Entertainment (the guys who handled the visuals for Shank), the storyline is explained courtesy of a sepia-toned trailer that explains that The Alchemist from the first game has been corrupted by the Ember Blight coming from the Heart of Ordrak. Torchlight II begins after the events of the original Torchlight with a new addition to the franchise – a cutscene. Fast forward three years and it’s time to return to the world of the Estherians…only this time, bring some friends! There was one big thing that was missing – Torchlight didn’t have multiplayer. What made it huge was just the right dose of stylized graphics, challenging levels and bosses, and a staggering amount of content for just $20. The game hit hard with a huge following, and there was no doubt that we loved it at Gaming Trend, giving the original a 94%. Torchlight hit Steam in 2009, courtesy of a partnership between developer Runic Games and publisher Perfect World. Unfortunately, other than Torchlight, they also have something else in common – none of them sold well. Titan Quest, Divine Divinity, Dungeon Siege (the first two), Sacred, Path of Exile, Nox, and Torchlight all of these titles have one thing in common – they are some of the best Diablo II clones ever made. 1/17/2024 0 Comments Hawaiian tropic sunscreen powderMost importantly, the sunscreen provides 50 broad spectrum coverage from UVB and UVA damage. The organization brands its seal of approval on this sunscreen, and so do we, thanks to its barely detectable finish, water-resistant formula, and four shades ranging from fair to deep. ![]() Look, we love a Gomez or a Garner-recommended beauty product, but regarding sunscreen, we trust no one’s judgment more than the Skin Cancer Foundation. Type: Spray | Size: 2 oz | SPF: 30 | Active Ingredients: Avobenzone 3%, Homosalate 10%, Octisalate 5%, Octocrylene 4% | Cruelty Free: Yes While some reviewers say the product leaves their strands a little greasy, we’ll take a slicked-back style over a sunburn any day. However, we’re just as pleased about what the formula leaves out, like hair-drying sulfates and octinoxate and oxybenzone-two potentially harmful chemicals for your health and the environment. The 30 SPF broad spectrum sunscreen is super effective at protecting burns along your part line, but don’t be surprised if you also notice your hair looks healthier, too, after spritzing on the vegan formula.Īntioxidant-rich ingredients, like sunflower seed oil, are an added benefit to this scalp sunscreen, as it contains Vitamin E which can help strengthen your hair and increase shine. Wolinsky recommends this pick from Sun Bum for its lightweight formula and easy application. We also took into consideration how each product benefits scalp and hair health, because these products can be a two-for-one, providing UV protection as well as hair and scalp health.Īs one of the few products specifically targeted to protect your scalp and hair, Dr. We conducted hours of research on the best scalp sunscreens, evaluating formulas on type, active SPF ingredients, and SPF level. Unfortunately, while your hair provides some protection, it won’t save your scalp from harmful UV rays, and the sun can be just as damaging to your strands as it is to your skin.Īnd, look, as much as we love the trucker hat trend, they’re not always appropriate to wear 24/7, which means it’s vital to find a scalp sunscreen with a formula that works best for your lifestyle, skin sensitivities, and hair type. “The surgical treatment of these skin cancers is more difficult than in other areas of the body and is also higher risk than in other locations,” explains Dr. Wolinsky, who adds that skin cancer, particularly nonmelanoma skin cancers, can occur on the scalp due to repeated UV rays over years of sun exposure. You should be slathering on SPF every day from head to toe, according to Dr. Thanks to aesthetic packaging and luxe ingredients, we actually look forward to incorporating sunscreen into our daily skincare routine, but one area we often overlook is our scalps. |
