My guess would be that it’s referring to the recently-opened Elizabeth Line, a railway line in London. Possibly referring to something they’ve mentioned in a previous video.
It’s a Linos 50mm TV - Heligon lens, the aperture isn’t posted anywhere as far as I could find but with some measuring and math says it’s about f/0.9. The lens has no aperture or focus control which made for some fun. Basically the easiest way to focus was by literally moving the camera.
Also due to how far from the sensor the lens sits it made this lens a macro lens on my camera as I was unable to get the back of the lens close enough to the sensor to actually focus very far out.
For post-processing I put the raw into Lightroom and adjusted the colors a little bit and I added the vinette in Lightroom as well because I wanted to add a more “from the eye” kind of look to it.
As a fun little fact: the miniature in the photo is about 35mm tall and their hand is about 10mm in front of their face.
I’ve got a lot of images that would need explanations for how I got them so I’m always happy to explain the origins of the weirdness.
Some are hard to explain though due to their strangeness, this one was luckily quite a bit easier to explain the process for them some of the other ones chilling on my hard drive.
While I can definitely enjoy most of the fairly cheesey popular sci-fi like stargate and star trek, I really like it more when sci-fi is written so that it seems like it could actually happen one day, at least in not breaking any physical laws. Especially as the scale of what is depicted starts getting a bit extreme. Like, portraying a star empire that is basically just a historical maritime empire with the population scaled up a couple orders of magnitude, living on a few planets mostly with a couple modern cities each with starships that travel across the stars in a few hours to weeks is cool and all, but so unrealistic as to not be super exiting. On the other hand, portraying what an actual interstellar spaceship would probably have to be like, based on known physics, complete with the kind of size it would probably be and the sheer length of time it would take to travel, and the scale and age of the kind of civilization that would have the economic capacity to build and use them, while much harder to get right due to the needed attention to detail, results in something that is made all the more awe-inspiring by the knowledge that it isnt impossible for something like it to exist one day, or might even exist already, somewhere very far away.
Same. The Outter Limits and The Twilight Zone hits both of those spots. Multiple short stories that are either completely futuristic, all the way to, relatable to today.
If you haven’t already, read yourself some Arthur C Clarke. He wrote speculative futurism based on known science. If you pick up later editions of some of his books, they’ll include forewords by him going over the effect on the story and premises therein of evolutions in scientific understanding that happened since first publishing.
I’ve read several books of his actually, namely the space Odyssey series, Rama series, the songs of distant earth, and childhood’s end, tho I didn’t like that last one as much as the former ones.
i loved seeing a missile in space in the expanse. You see it reorient itself backwards and fire its thrusters to cancel out its forward velocity, smoothly changing orientation during the manoever to end up accelerating towards, and pointing to the target (the target was to the side of the direction it was launched at). Very cool touch.
She does look like Bonnie Plunkett (the mom on the tv sitcom Mom). On IMDB it says her doppelganger is Magot Robbie. ¯\(ツ)/¯ Closer to Leslie Stahl, CBS 60 minutes news anchor, than Margot Robbie.
