![]() Far above the roof rain clouds slide like ice floes.Ĭarol and Tom order coffee the next day at the Avondale Diner. He stirs in troubled sleep as the dark spills from his eyes and dreams of a place more real than the room where they sleep. The smell of rain miles downwind sifts into the room. ![]() He starts to nod off with the night tide. What was the cheese that makes you see things? Stilton? Wensleydale? What else had he eaten? Rye bread? He watches her breathe. Lit like a Joan Semmel nude with phone and charging block. Just enough blue light from her phone charger to see her wonderful form in the dark room. Carol’s breathing becomes regular and slow. As if someone burned his retinas with a laser pointer that made pictures. He still sees faces whether eyes open or close, though they fade. When he comes a flash of faces in darkness strike his sight. “I think the light changed and your eyes changed with it.” She stares. “Wow,” he says as regular time begins again. ![]() They smile at each other for a few moments. So many colors in her iris he first thought were green. It takes more time to properly study them. Then Tom feels others watching as he submerges into her gaze. Tom sees that her eyes are not green or blue but a color he’s never seen. Seconds slow to huge spaces of complete silence. Carol shifts uncomfortably as well…but they continue to stare into each other’s eyes. That he missed some whiskers when he shaved that morning. By minute two thoughts flit across Tom’s mind that Carol can’t possibly miss how plain, ordinary and asymmetrical his face is. I’ll set my timer on my smart watch.”Īt first it’s funny and awkward. “Can we stare into each other’s eyes for five minutes? It’s an old thing you read about in psychology and fashion magazines. “And this, the bronze, the tree, the storm…how rare. Above the atrium roof glass, thunder cracks as lightning etches fractal dendritic lines across the sky. ![]() Tom notes a bronze cauldron griffin head set on a pedestal by the peeling tree. The tree’s bark peeled off in great patches of gray-white wood beneath compels the mind to make ineffective attempts to find a pattern, a clue. They take two cocktails each to an inside table by a huge American sycamore tree under a large glass atrium. They drink the new cocktail devised by the bartender. They go to the Fairchild Bar late afternoon at the Temple of Zeus museum. Evidently, the money is better in advertising than ancient language.Ĭarol calls him the next day. The graphic artists conference was moved to the Four Seasons. They finish a comparison of Radiolab and 99% Invisible and other podcasts before Tom learns he’s in the Tristate regional classics professors conference that Carol helped organize. She untucks an Apple Pencil from his ear. The background music is Itzhak Perlman playing a Paganini piece. He doesn’t recognize any other graphic artists. He ponders this when he goes to a cocktail party at the Marriott bar. It’s like a geographical part of his childhood sinks into darkness. Like all kids that grew up in one area, wherever they go, they carry that neighborhood with them. She and he and a group of other kids spent their childhood in Galveston neighborhood. Still more than 300 deaths a year in a bathtub. They participated wholeheartedly in the annual Fantasy Fest, drunk and naked and partying. She’d moved to the Florida Keys with a sun-loving man. Martha Kirby, a childhood friend from his first-grade class, just died from slipping in a bathtub. They meet because Tom goes to the wrong party. Tom is a bit awed by her grasp of things so ancient with the familiarity of others who discuss the latest series they’ve binged on Netflix. She studies the primary meaning of words. Some local galleries display his oils and watercolors, but he makes steady money from coffee mugs imprinted with some of his best-known strips.Ĭarol Builderback is a classics professor who specializes in all the dialects of Attic Greek. He publishes an underground comic strip for years, but spends his days doing graphics for an advertising firm. Every time Tom and Carol fuck, Tom sees people. ![]() Eight different commentators are featured, four for each of the two commentary types: play-by-play commentary and color commentary players can choose whether to enable color commentary. An "extreme" battle type is also available for play, allowing players to compete in matches that feature special rules and gimmicks.Ī real-time commentary system is a brand new feature in Street Fighter 6, where English and/or Japanese commentators watch the action in real-time, giving it a more tournament-style feel, or allow the option to cheer the player on. Certain movesets can only be cancelled to super moves based on how many levels the player has filled, such as EX/Overdrive special moves, which can only be cancelled to higher levels above Level 1, while regular special moves without sacrificing the Drive gauge can only be cancelled to Level 3. When a player is low on health, their Level 3 super move will become a Critical Art, which is more powerful in addition to having an expanded cinematic scene. For example, Ryu's Shinku Hadoken, Shin Hashogeki and Shin Shoryuken can only be used at Level 1, 2 and 3 respectively. However, each character only has three super combos based on their respective level gauge. The use of multiple super combos returns from the Street Fighter Alpha sub-series, also counting the Ultra Combo W variant from Ultra Street Fighter IV. The game features three control types: the "classic" control scheme, which is a six-button layout that functions similarly to previous games in the series the "modern" control scheme, which is a simplified four-button layout that assigns special moves to a single button combined with a directional input and the offline-only "dynamic" control scheme, in which the player need only press a single button for the game's AI to select an appropriate attack for that button press. Most of the Drive Gauge's mechanics are based on previously existing mechanics from previous Street Fighter mainline games, such as Parry, Focus Attack, EX move, etc. The gauge can be used for five different techniques, requiring players to choose which to prioritize. The main fighting gameplay of Street Fighter 6 is based around the Drive Gauge, a system designed to encourage player creativity. In the Battle Hub, players can compete in ranked or casual matches, battle using their created avatars, using the skills learned in World Tour mode, participate in special events, or play emulated Capcom arcade titles, using the same emulation technology used in the Capcom Arcade Stadium series, among other features. Battle Hub acts as an online lobby mode, using customizable player avatars from the World Tour mode (the first fighting game to implement similar online features was Tecmo's Dead or Alive 4). World Tour is a single-player story mode featuring a customizable player avatar exploring 3D environments, such as Final Fight 's Metro City and the small, fictional South Asian nation of Nayshall, with action-adventure gameplay. Fighting Ground contains local and online versus battles as well as training and arcade modes, all featuring similar 2D fighting gameplay to the previous games in the series, in which two fighters use a variety of attacks and special abilities to knock out their opponent. Street Fighter 6 features three overarching game modes: Fighting Ground, World Tour, and Battle Hub.

It may not be particularly urban tolerant and has a tendency to produce surface roots. Sun, very tolerant of soils, but prefers slightly acid and moist conditions (occurs naturally in low, wet areas, hence one of its common names, Swamp Maple). In winter, tree shows long shoots with many short shoots. Fruit, a samara, wings 12-15 mm long, about a 60° between them, shed by early summer.

Leaves opposite, simple, 5-10(13) cm long and wide, usually with 3 serrated lobes, but sometimes 5, base rounded or subcordate, medium to dark green above, silvery below and usually pubescent on veins. Bark is smooth, light gray on young trees, developing to dark gray, rough, and furrowed on older trees. Broadleaf deciduous tree, 60-75(100) ft, develops ascending branches, irregular, ovoid or rounded crown. ![]() Some will say it is sufficient, which it is but just barely. That's the ragged edge of freezing subject motion and camera motion. I think your shutter speed is low, 1/180. ![]() Likewise adjusting white balance, which you can do with no limits in RAW but which doesn't work beyond a certain limit on a JPG. Boosting exposure in in post can hurt the image, but you get much more freedom to do so in RAW than in JPG. Shoot in RAW but still try to get it as close to right in camera as you can. A newer crop camera or a full frame camera gives more high ISO image quality which is the main reason I upgraded. Then, when you add noise reduction to tackle the grain it does so at the cost of removing even more detail. It also reduces the amount of fine detail you have in the image. High ISO not only adds noise and grain, which is easy to deal with. ![]() (Cue the comments on how this is too conservative, that a 5x7 print looks great at higher ISO than what looks good on a 30" computer monitor, or that I am deficient in my post processing skills or tools). I preferred to stay at ISO 100 or ISO 200 if possible. I had a T3i and to me it was only good up to about ISO 400 at most. The little shift can be enough to foul the focus. If you prefer not to have the eye dead center in the shot just frame a little loosely so you can crop to reframe in post.ĭon't get in the habit of doing "focus and recompose" as it will fail you when you need critical focus at large aperture. That should be good focus for a portrait. ![]() Place that point over your subject's closest eye to the camera. In AF try toggling through the AF point selection and select the center point only. This could be why you get better results with manual focus. Equally likely is that you might be letting the camera choose which AF point(s) to use instead of picking one yourself. You need about 1/60th at the slowest and 1/100th is better for subject motion freezing if you can get it.įocus point selection. Even though your person is sitting "still" for you, he is still not rock steady. IS stabilizes camera shake by a few stops but not subject motion blur. My first guess might be your shutter speed isn't fast enough. You dont tell tell us all your settings (shutter speed, aperture and ISO). LOL If I change the settings for a brighter picture, it doesn't seem to matter, and I end up with a stark bright capture. Auto focus tends to be a joke at focusing on what I want. and to be honest, manual focus gives me clearer shots of what I want. I don't care if I manual focus or auto focus (usually when I need to go real high or real low, or have a large group). and just want ALL my pictures clear!!! I use a T3i, and the IS is always on on my lens. any respectful suggestions are appreciated. so I am wondering if it would be something in the camera itself causing it? I can literally focus crystal clear on their eyes and it seems like something else comes out clear instead, like it shifts, regardless how gentle I am. I see it happen with both my short and my zoom lens. I use the viewfinder and usually shoot in M mode. Even in super sunny (with a hood) light I will get slightly blurry photos at times.

Additionally, the volume, clarity and stereoscopic accuracy of the audio presentation is less satisfactory - if only by today's standards. Suffice it to say that the general presentation in terms of picture quality and sound is not as good as any previous DVD version of the film: from the opening scenes to the finale, the film doesn't glow with the same vividity that the 2004 discs did - but then again, that's because they came out in 1977. (The missing material is from the fourth disc in the boxed set, which features a documentary and other goodies.) So if one does not have any Star Wars DVDs, or worries that the new discs won't suitably replace their existing sets, then fret not: all of the same information from each individual film is maintained in this collection. LEGO Star Wars II video game demo and trailerīasically what this description means is that each of the original versions are added to the original release as bonus material, which is a seeming admission by Lucas that they have completely deprioritized the films in favor of their technically superior 2004 editions.Audio options: English Dolby 2.0 Surround, French Dolby 2.0 Surround, Spanish Dolby 2.0 Surround.4:3 letterbox format (aspect ratio 2.35:1).Original theatrical version of Star Wars. ![]() Audio options: English Dolby 5.1 Surround EX, English Dolby 2.0 Surround, French Dolby 2.0 Surround, Spanish Dolby 2.0 Surround.The Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back (Limited Edition) DVD was released September 12, 2006, featuring the following materials: Commentary by George Lucas, Ben Burtt, Dennis Muren and Carrie Fisher.Audio options: English Dolby 5.1 Surround EX, English Dolby 2.0 Surround, French Dolby 2.0 Surround, Spenish Dolby 2.0 Surround.The original The Empire Strikes Back DVD was released Septemin a four-disc set entitled The Star Wars Trilogy, featuring the following materials: Then of course there's the matter of the asteroid field chase, which is not only one of the better sequences in all three of the films, but in my humble opinion one of the absolute best compositions John Williams ever wrote, Star Wars film or no. The most happy change (or restoration) here is the reinstatement of the original exchange between Vader and the Emperor, which originally did not telegraph the fact that Vader and Luke are related. McDiarmid in 2004.Įmpire is my favorite of the three films, partially because it's the darkest of the three but mostly because it has the most compelling emotional core: Luke discovers the truth about himself and his family, Leia and Han fall gingerly in love, and Yoda bunds the universe together with his combination of benevolent philosophy, cheeky humor and homespun wisdom. So now that these original versions are available on DVD, what is there to think about them? Should we be happy they exist at all in a legitimate version? Decry the less-than-stellar way they have been produced? Use this as an opportunity to judge once and for all which edition is the definitive one? I am inclined to agree that in many cases fans will never be happy, just as I believe that a filmmaker has an obligation to satisfy the fans who made his films a success but looking at the spanking-new Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back DVD, the only feeling I can immediately identify is gratitude - maybe not for Lucas, or Fox for distributing the disc, but just in general - for now having a real-deal copy of the film that I loved as a child in the version that first enchanted my imagination. Unfortunately, keeping in the filmmaker's proud tradition of withholding, misdirecting and otherwise, yes, offering what audiences want but not necessarily when they want it, he chose to release them in non-anamorphic widescreen, without any retouches, changes or improvements since their original remastering in 1994 - which most know is substandard in the context of today's expansive home-theater offerings. When Lucas announced after some reluctance that his namesake company would finally release the original versions of the first three Star Wars movies, unencumbered by CGI changes and digital upgrades, many (including yours truly) were rightfully thrilled: finally the time had come for Lucas to recognize his fans' wishes. ![]() After playing through the game, you'll realize who that woman was: Dahlia, so the wedding video was of her and Harry. It's of an irate women angry because the video store accidentally destroyed her wedding video and it was her only copy. One of the early memories found in the game is a voice mail in the video store.Having her pet dog accidentally get run over by her parents, badly injuring herself while playing with a toy on vacation. And even before then, poor Cheryl went through some harsh stuff.She was drugged at a party, pressured into having sex by a selfish ex-boyfriend, rumored to be having an affair with a teacher (which was likely her confiding in him regarding her personal life instead), and even stabbed a security guard who'd taken pity on her for shoplifting, overreacting to his approach.
