WC 1M Post Challenge - You Ready?!

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

As much as I respect the software achievements here, I think an overreliance on G cam ports to fix bad native cameras is a mistake all around.

I'm quite happy with my camera. It's more a curiosity than anything else.

Yeah I'm also curious for your phone. I use it since I don't always like what Samsung does to skin tones.

Well, you see my shots all the time. Yes, LG pulled a HTC M9 with the smaller sensors on the G7/V35, but it's not a terrible sort of cameras. G Cam ports just highlight one approach to taking pictures.

Back to work. The GF was already complaining about her own return last night.

I'm dragging into work today myself. I know I'll be hammered, so I'm not rushing.

I know I posted pictures of this already but I did some editing on the photos.

Turned out all right.

I don't know. Maybe because I'm trying to slow down my consumerism and only buying things when and if I need them I find the hype around Prime Days a bit disconcerting. It's also the summer sales here in France.

I'd swear that Mobile Nations is a subsidiary or being paid well to advertise for Amazon... hmmmm

Both could be correct. (By both, I mean on you with consumerism and them being paid to advertise.) I don't really care for Prime Days at all. I didn't even look to see what's on sale.

Speaking of them, I'm late but any thoughts on the Xperia 1 review from them?

The only reason why I'm seeing it is because I'm using a web browser and going to the main page to start with.

Both WC and AC are advertising Prime Day offers galore.

Mobile Nations always like to push 'stuff' for people to buy. They're heavily consumer driven sites.

In a time where we should be looking to change our habits it's things like Prime Day and other things like Black Friday sales should become a thing of the past.

I get that they need to get rid of old stock, I used to work in retail, but it's getting a bit silly now.

I haven't used the Mobile Nations website in a while. I stick the forums app to duck the ads.

If you're a YouTuber full time, picking up sponsorships is a standard practice. Not hating on those who do, I just sleep walk through the consumerism.

More importantly, did the workers at the Amazon warehouse in MN go on strike?

I am too lazy to switch smartphones. Need to sell a couple since they are just sitting there collecting dust.

Sounds like a plan. Will any of the Pixel 3as go?

In a word, yes.

Probably one of the two.

So just some pictures from the King Tut exhibition.

In France they let you take pictures in these things in other countries they don't.

The lighting was quite difficult. I used auto but should've gone manual. I'll explain why I didn't.

The detail is still pretty good.

My opinion on the exhibition.

Rating 3/5

To start. I love ancient Egyptian objects and I'm fascinated by the archeology and culture. We are so lucky to have so much information on an ancient culture. I've been fascinated since I was a child.

The first problem with this exhibition is that they really booked it out. There was simply too many people at once. Didn't help that displays we're close together either. So it felt cramped and there was lots of pushing and shoving going on.

Next is the advertising. It gives the impression that you will see the King Tut golden death mask but it's not there. It's a bit of a let down.

They did have some unique objects there and some with their first time out of Egypt. But it was tiring to see everything with so many people.

Another annoying thing is that they let people in with backpacks. This is unheard of. So that added to the feeling of being cramped and jostled about. Some people with backpacks are so clueless with them. Add to that children's push chairs. I mean really?

To top it off there's people just constantly taking pictures and standing in front of things. If you want a picture you need to take it fast so that's why it's auto.

I actually felt relieved to leave.

If there were less people, visible staff and maybe lack of picture taking I think it would have been a lot more enjoyable. Even without the death mask.

Other than that a decent display.

I'm looking forward to my trip to Egypt in about two years time.

Nice shots. Sounds like this in terms of how busy and semi obnoxious the crowds can be :

Always liked Egyptian culture. Got a real education from one of my clients earlier this year. Interesting stuff indeed.

We saw the King Tut exhibition at the Getty Center last year in May. Although the primary reason was to see the Van Gogh being inspired by Indian Mughal paintings (which my then 8 year old wanted to see).

I also think that the British Museum in London had a great collection of Egyptian historical artifacts.

It sounds like it was just enough of a taste for you to really go to Egypt. I think it's cool that you're going. Thank you for the review.

Ah, this class is annoying me with the particular grading.
