The old one was with the D7000, the new one is with the D610. The commonality is in the 50/1.8G lens - I've always loved it. Cheap and has the most gorgeously soft backgrounds at f/4 or larger that you just won't find in anything at that price point. It looks a little zoomed in the 3 year old picture because the D7000 is crop frame (DX), which makes the 50mm more like a ~70mm. I've been taking pictures of my boards and rigs for years, but I still can't do people

Get the NCASE when it comes back in stock! You have the SF750 already.

Ahh, yes... the upgraded version of their "fantastic plastic" lens. Got a work friend who uses the same lens a lot for functions and swears by it. People talk about it like I do my Canon 50mm f/1.8. Both inexpensive plastic lenses with IQ largely rivaling much more expensive 50mm with just as narrow of a DOF. Almost no reason to look at any other option. Canon or Nikon everybody should have one of their plastic 50's.

Cruelly enough, she swears by it for portraits on crop bodies. She pretty much only has the whole setup for documenting events there and she does pull out some great, flattering shots with it, gotta say. All she's got is one of their basic crop bodies, the kit lens, and that 50mm. I hear the smug ones ribbing now... "Can't blame the gear!"

I'm not the best at portraits either. Skin is weird, light/angle does strange, almost nonsensical things to proportions, people move, the awkwardness of essentially staring into someone's face for prolonged periods makes my skin crawl, etc. I can take a picture of someone attractive enough to be famous model and make them look like they just rolled out of the underbelly of The Tenderloin in San Francisco.

Those are very nice shots though! Nothing like natural light for things like that. Diffused light from windows is my favorite! Set-up lighting for fancy gear just ends up making them look like CGI. Bleh. Makes me excited to upgrade my rig a little and do the same thing. Thanks for reminding me that the time is coming.

Honestly, seeing pictures like that, I really want to do an itx build. It's got this sleekness about it. Seems quite a challenge but they can come together so nicely.

Swapped out my 7700k and M8F for a 3600 and X470 pro... (I sold the 7700k for more than the 3600 cost me)

Surprisingly windows seems to be behaving perfectly fine after the swap. Only half assembled pic for now, will be opening it all up again to fit the water loop in a few weeks.

If easy like that, my old screen got mold in between the panels and there's no way to open and clean it so it's a sad ending

must be extra carefully, you wont end up broke the stuff inside panel

The 50G is somewhat of an underappreciated lens. It only stops down to /16, but with a tripod and a little overexposure to go into editing, it's possibly one of the sharpest lenses on Nikon. It has a bit of distortion, but it's simple in nature and fixed in one clickwith a lens profile. Everyone wants the 50D because it's cheaper and looks better, with no distortion, but AF-D primes suffer from this horrible blue discoloration in the middle at /11 and smaller. Something to do with a design defect. My 35D does that same unfortunate thing, that's why I use the 50G 95% of the time.

On DX, the 50G has really nice backgrounds and a perfect focal distance for closer things. On FX, it's fantastically detailed. The difference between some of my older photos and my recent photos or boards demonstrate those differences really well.

I always tell everyone to try ITX at least once as a side gig. If you miss your ATX features, no harm no foul. If you fall in love with its portability, even better.

This pile of mess is my current PC after losing two hdd. It usable but not very stable with a temperamental windows 10 occasional restarting itself, planning to move to linux learning about it for a new build and just virtualizing windows for those things that can't work.
I use the Scythe Fuma for my itx board better than the d15s it replaces which I sold. Yeah I also sold my Raijintek Metis case, its a lovely case but its hard to get too if a problem happens. I sold it to just get rid of my frustration and also to make some money.

There would not be a new build anytime soon. When that happen in the far future gonna give this rig to my dad with a new case.

Oh yeah just realised I ghetto rig an 80mm fan to my single slot Gpu. I know it defeat the purpose of it being single slot but it is alot quieter and cooler.

 

[CustomRigs]

My actually PC hope you like it like me

How come Scythe Fuma is better than D15?

That spaghetti needs cablecombs so much..

Anyway, my #1 PC is dead once again (lol, like in last year) since my motherboard burned my other R9 290, used it a while with the second one on the survived PCIe slot and then the fucking burned PCIe slot bursted into FLAMES.

Mixed setup with my HTPC parts once again.. Phenom II X4 940 BE @ 3.4, Asus M3N78 SE, 4GB, R9 290, Audigy 2 ZS (love this!), 240 SSD + 2TB & 500GB HDDs & Seasonic 750W

IDE cable is for my soft-modded PS2's HDD

e: and yeah this P400s has seen its best days

Haaaa, was gonna say...

...also, what? I don't know why but that's not clicking for me. I understand what soft-modding is, generally... you're expanding the functionality of your PS2. But then why is the HDD mounted in your case and hooked to the mobo?

That I can play backup games from HDD, doesn't need a modchip.

Remember that expansion bay drom the good old fat PS2? That is for a HDD, and the official network adapter has an IDE interface. Tho I got mine from ebay, it just lacks the ethernet port. Tho there are SATA versions also. But as I have a leftover 200GB HDD, why not use it for games

And what I mean by hooking it with this motherboard is that this is my only PC which has a PATA interface, so I need to transfer the games from this PC, that's why the PATA cable is laying there, ready for action.

e: sorry, I'm a little drunk but I hope you get what I mean ^^

e: https://revive.today/ps2/freehdboot-tutorial/ this is a great way to start

I like how the case is chewed up by a dinosaur but the "rgb" is still present

Hah, I had an external rad on the top, that's why I had to get my T-Rex to chew it.

And it is RGB

almost my pc dominated by amd, i might start built mid range intel soon, just need to find a cheap motherboard

Rock'n it old school, even though you didn't want to.

TBH, my first Phenom was 1055T, FX was launched at the same time and I trusted the Phenom...

I bought Phenom II X6 1055T and I got a better CPU than those Zambezi POCs.

No collateral damage to the other R9 290?
