Sometimes a lens can be soft on certain f-stops. First impressions? Sharpness and bokeh were excellent! I borrowed the Helios lens from a friend who had a film camera sitting on his office-desk and bought an adapter for $10 from. Lenses for the Sony E-mount (APS-C / crop sensor) were expensive, especially for a beginner but someone told me I could get an adapter and mount a vintage lens on my camera.

This optical phenomenon gives images rendered by these vintage lenses a distinct character, which has created a cult following among fine art photographers." The new Helios lenses have a special aperture adjustment ring set up - you set the smallest aperture you wish to use with a click stop ring, then another freely turning aperture ring allows you to quickly open up the lens for easier focusing wide open. Quoting the Wikipedia page for Helios - "The bokeh "circles" become more elliptical in shape as you move away from the center of the photo. Lights or specular light (such as light coming through foliage) will be rendered as large circles. They produce an unusual "swirly" effect to the background bokeh.

An estimated release date for the game was also announced to be sometime during 2022. A portion of gameplay was shown, featuring a number of abilities and the new world of Hyrule. The second trailer and first gameplay showcase aired on June 15th, 2021, during the E3 2021 Nintendo Direct. Later, in a December interview, Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser added that the contents of the game would be shown when they felt they had enough to show. ĭuring the announcement of Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity on September 8, 2020, Eiji Aonuma said that Nintendo was still working on the game and that the fans would have to wait before getting any news. Initially, new ideas were thought of for DLC but evolved into a new game when too many were gathered. ![]() The idea of creating a direct sequel came from the fact that Eiji Aonuma, producer of Breath of the Wild, wanted to revisit the same Hyrule while incorporating a new story and gameplay mechanics. During the E3 2019 Nintendo Direct, it was announced that it would be a sequel to Breath of the Wild. ![]() Developmentĭevelopment of the twentieth game in The Legend of Zelda series began in 2017 after the production for Breath of the Wild concluded. You can help by adding the missing information. Reason: Doesn't say much about the game itself, leaving most of it a mystery. The chaos throughout Hyrule is known as the Upheaval. Finally, Link falls out of the sky above Hyrule and lands on a large, flying mechanism, which he appears to pilot. Next, Link climbs up the root of a Tree sticking out of a floating rock. Next, Link jumps onto a large boulder traveling into the air, showing a giant storm forming nearby. Afterward, more gameplay footage shows Link pushing open a large door and jumping into a free fall. In the third trailer, a large portrait similar to the Calamity Ganon Tapestry was shown depicting Soldiers fighting with Moblins and Bokoblins, an unknown figure surrounded by seven symbols, and a few people resembling Zelda and the corpse from the announcement trailer. The floating orb has a golden glow, and the damaged Master Sword has a faint blue glow. The delay announcement video shows Link standing next to a floating orb of energy and examining a heavily damaged Master Sword. The trailer concludes with scenes of Hyrule Castle being violently lifted from the ground by a huge mass of Malice. The second is Ascend, an ability that phases Link through a solid structure from underneath. The first is Recall, an ability that can move an Object backward on the path it came from. Link also wields new abilities which seemingly come from his altered right arm. Link is seen battling various enemies, such as a Stone Talus carrying a Monster Stronghold. In the second trailer during E3 2021, gameplay footage showed Link skydiving and paragliding among landmasses floating in the sky. Text is then displayed announcing the development of a sequel to Breath of the Wild. As the ground shakes, the Castle is seen rising into the air. Ganondorf stirs amidst an earthquake, and the trailer then cuts to a view of Hyrule Castle from the Great Plateau. They arrive in a cavern where Ganondorf's body is held in suspended animation, gripped by a pale, ghostly hand. ![]() The announcement trailer shows Link and Zelda exploring an unknown subterranean Zonai Ruin. Reason: Only covers what was revealed up until release. ![]() In shame, Sunburst fled Canterlot to seclude himself away in the Crystal Empire, away from his controlling stern mother and the shame of knowledge without use. ![]() Only after graduating (with top honors) did Sunburst learn of what happened while he studied away, plus his long-held secret of lack of performing magic being reveled during a final exam, caused the stallion to simply shut down. Sunburst devoted so much of his time to study that he missed out on the outside world, specifically on the divorce of his parents and the disappearance of his older sister Sunset Shimmer. Under the pressure of his mother, Sunburst spent all his time pursuing academic work and study, learning everything all about magic and spells. At first life seemed all sunshine with afternoons filled with laughter and play however, after gaining his cutie mark, Sunburst quickly found himself under the intense hoof of his mother who whisked him to Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns. Sunburst spent his foalhood days living in Sire's Hollow, a small quaint town in the middle of no where. Since I have been redrawing my own NG characters, why don't I redraw the parents? Not every parent/MLP headcanon is getting drastically changed: this is mostly just me practicing my drawing/cringing at old art/rethinking my NG/doodling gone too far, and I do not plan on redrawing EVERY parent (maybe, no promises), but here we go. Why draw my own characters doing dynamic things and interacting when I can constantly draw 3/4 still poses and explore things not needing exploring. ![]() ![]() When choosing a home security system for your home, you may be tempted to start with deciding between a DIY setup or one that is professionally installed and monitored.

Kangaroo, by contrast, is incredibly wallet-friendly but its doorbell camera is terrible, so Wyze keeps its edge in the budget category too. Frontpoint's system is reliable and its hardware is reasonably priced, but its $45 monthly monitoring fee is too expensive. Ring Alarm is another solid DIY option, but the company's problems with police partnerships tip us away from recommending it - especially when a company like Wyze offers such a strong, budget-friendly alternative.ĭIY systems Frontpoint, Cove and Kangaroo all had features to recommend them. Abode and Abode's all-in-one security camera Iota were both solid contenders that couldn't quite match SimpliSafe's price, but they're worth checking out if you're interested in DIY smart home systems for small spaces or systems that don't require monitoring subscriptions. See at Vivint Other home security systems we've testedīesides the systems above, we've tested many of the top competitors, including Abode, Abode Iota, Frontpoint, Kangaroo, Ring Alarm, Cove and ADT. Once you start your research, you'll realize there's no shortage of options ranging from highly customizable DIY systems available from brands like Ring, SimpliSafe and Wyze to low-hassle, professional monitoring services from ADT, Vivint and others. ![]() Whether you go the DIY home security route or opt for a professionally installed setup, choosing the right security system for your home is a big decision. Our top-rated pick for DIY home security system is Ring Alarm Pro, not only due to its reliable security performance but all of the bells and whistles that most other DIY systems don't have, including backup Wi-Fi in case of power outages, Alexa Guard Plus integration and the option for local storage and processing. For those looking to spend less and are happy to set it up themselves, DIY is the clear choice. Due to its affordable service, no-contract options and compatibility with dozens of third-party smart home gadgets from smart locks to smart thermostats, our top-rated, professionally installed home security system is currently Comcast Xfinity Home. If you have the money to spend, a professional home security system is the best route. ![]() “Wickr needs to do more in regards to identifying and taking steps to prevent child sexual abuse material being traded on their platform,” said John Shehan, vice president of NCMEC. No child sexual abuse imagery was viewed in the course of reporting this article. On social media platforms such as Reddit, Tumblr and Twitter, NBC News found dozens of forums, accounts and blogs where hundreds of posts have been made soliciting minors, those who have access to them, or those interested in trading child sexual abuse material alongside Wickr screen names. Posts linking Wickr and child sexual abuse material are also littered across the internet. ![]() They point to direct knowledge of child exploitation investigations and sting operations, interviews with victims and perpetrators of abuse, and interactions with individuals soliciting child sexual abuse material as evidence that Wickr is being used by many people who exploit children. These court cases only represent a small fraction of the problem, according to two law enforcement officers involved in investigating child exploitation cases, two experts studying child exploitation and two people who have seen firsthand how individuals frequently use Wickr and other platforms for criminal transactions on the dark web. Over 25 percent of the prosecutions stemmed from undercover operations conducted by law enforcement on Wickr and other tech platforms. Almost none of the criminal complaints reviewed note cooperation from Wickr itself at the time of filing, aside from limited instances where Wickr was legally compelled to provide information via a search warrant. Nearly every prosecution reviewed has resulted in a conviction aside from those still being adjudicated. NBC News reviewed court documents from 72 state and federal child sexual abuse or child pornography prosecutions where the defendant allegedly used Wickr (as it’s commonly known) from the last five years in the United States, United Kingdom and Australia, using a combination of private and public legal and news databases and search engines. ![]()
