    That looks sooo sharp ! Love it I actually don't have anything to add it's really nice. The nice wooden table is a good pick if you're going for product photography, it really fits the look of the camera and adds some texture.
    Here's two really minor points though : the first picture, if you go top down close your aperture to have focus on the whole camera so you can read what's on the lens.
    Same about the third one, I would say that there's not really a clear focus point, you went really hard on the aperture but you missed the focus on the shutter where I would want to bring the attention because it already stands out real nice in red, and instead the focus just lands on the grip.
     
    Here's a couple of shots I developed this weekend, shot on my Canon A1 on some Ilford HP5+

    Looks pretty good. Id say it may be a bit over edited for my taste.
    Id say reduce the clarity setting a bit to get rid of the glow around the edges of the roof. Good composition!
     
     
    Here is a set of photos i took of my  Fuji X-pro 3. Trying out some "product photography" type composition
    Photo's where taken with a X-pro1 with an adapted ef mount sigma 24mm f1.4

    bob345 got a reaction from Hackentosher in ECAD software for integrated circuits (IC)?   
    Not much open source stuff that i know of that is comparable with something like cadence Virtuoso. The skywater PDK that google just released is pretty amazing as it looks to be one of the first open source process design kits out there. IIRC there is also a workflow being developed that ties in with yosys/nextpnr that would allow for fairly complex ASIC's.

    Edit: Somthing you may want to follow is the FOSSI Foundation as they are putting quite a bit of effort into making open source silicon, FPGA/ASIC'a a reality.

    You most definitely will not want to use adapters to connect to the 4 pin molex. Those connectors are not rated for that kind of current. If it doesn't immediately kill the psu it will most certainly melt the connector/wire and possibly start a fire.

    bob345 got a reaction from Newblesse Obblige in I am confused, What does a Computer Engineer do?   
    Ehh, in practice, as an EE you still need to be pretty knowledgeable on the software and logic side especially if you're getting more into system level design where you need to work closely with a software team to make sure ports are mapped properly. Most people i know that still have computer engineer as their title tend to do most of their work with either FPGA or ASIC HDL. Its Sort of hardware, but in a very different way than most people think.

    so wait hold up, they wanna ban chinese apps because of data concerns, but they also want a law that bans the use of encryption? or at least gives them a backdoor into anything? hold up.

    bob345 got a reaction from FezBoy in Clever Pun: Ceramic SSD's.   
    I mean sure??? As long as its not a beryllium oxide ceramic lol. This honestly seems like more of a marketing gimmick than an actual problem being solved. Sure its better, but is the likely very small benefit really worth the extra cost? Probably not. This stuff was developed and is mostly used in high performance rf and microwave electronics mainly for its dielectric properties iirc. The marginal improvement in thermal performance isn't going to be worth the increase in cost for an ssd.

    Last "major" purchase. Think I'm just gonna upgrade my hot air station soon to something from a more reputable brand. Thinking of ST-862D.

    Because electronics don't live long when fed by a cheap inverter that effectively puts out a "modified" square wave

    Good thing game devs don't write kernel level code or use DRM that makes use of such code. Just imagine if a developer infected this way is exploited to put code into the kernel. Oh, wait…
