Video: Two Thrifts And A Computer Store

As noted in the video this was just intended as an exercise to test a new camera, but I ended up with enough footage to make a video. I was a little uncertain whether I'd get any weird looks walking into stores with a camera around my neck, though that's probably just a memory of the early 2000s, post-9/11 era; probably, with us being this many years post-vlogging and post-cameraphone, no employee anywhere is going to care about bugging someone over this.
I need to work on my hand-stabilization, since the in-body can't fully keep up with walking, but otherwise I am pretty satisfied with the camera, and the lens is _amazing_. I know it's easier to make ultrawides on MFT but still, f/1.7 is _ridiculous_. Check out that night footage near the end at the uwajimaya - it was _dark out_. The sky was barely perceptibly blue; I didn't even realize until editing that I had let the camera _overexpose_, and it still looked pretty damn good, with minimal noise. Had I adjusted my AV comp it would have been even better. A GH5 is no Red, but it's new to me. I cannot wait to Do Things with this camera.
I probably will upload a Crab Rave Cut later

Got my Server and Quadra 950 there as well as a few other fun things. Always hoping to run into you there. Have you been to the Connections Museum?

It's nice to see they finally turned some inventory, or cleared out all the ancient stuff sitting under the tables. There was a Wang system sitting in the as-is area for at least 3 or 4 years.

2024-01-16 03:08:07 +0000 UTCMicro Center’s location isn’t the worst, but it would be better if it was in, like, Chelsea or something. It’s not that hard to afford a large retail space in Midtown if you do like Mood Fabrics and make people take an elevator to get to you. It’s only convenience retailers that need sidewalk-facing locations. So idk Micro Center could open a location on, like, the fourth floor of the Siegel-Cooper Building.
