An extremely rare rainbow-colored pileus iridescent cloud over Ethiopia.

I for one have less than no interest in a 24MP APS-C sensor. The Megapixel war is as bad as the loudness war, IMJO. I'd much rather have a 12MP full frame sensor. In fact, I made use of one a couple weeks ago. The country's oldest continually operation town hall. The door to the above. Poker players. The guy on the right is a pretty damn good photographer himself. Using my manual focus Nikon E-Series 75-150mm F/3.5 zoom. Have you been drinking? You look blurry. 35mm F/2, 0.4sec, ISO1600. Not a spectacular shot, but truly a spectacular automobile.

Redditor's quote on the above:

5.9 magnitude quake rocks East Coast. I didn't feel a damn thing here in B'town, but others as far as Boston are reporting noticing it. There are a lot of H-Cers near the epicenter. Everyone's headphones still on their stands?

No Quarter: Barry Diament's CD Mastering: 1990 Boxed Set: 2008 SMH: I don't have the 1993 10CD set, but it is my understanding that it is the same remaster job as the 2008 SMH set. Maybe Dusty can provide us some waveforms for comparison. I haven't done any serious critical listening to the Barry Diament and SMH versions yet. I know the 1990 set like the back of my hand. To me, it has sounded awesome on every piece of audio kit I've owned since 1990.

Kashmir: Barry Diament's CD Mastering: 1990 Boxed Set: 2008 SMH:

Phew. I now have clean digital copies of 3 versions of the Led Zep catalog. I've spent much of the evening banging my head against Adobe's SoundBooth. In spite of the fact that I'm deeply familiar with Photoshop, and Adobe's UI is supposed to be similar between Creative Suite apps, I can officially say I fucking hate SoundBooth. I'm really missing Cool Edit Pro at this point. Now THERE was an app for quick and dirty audio editing and analysis. In spite of Adobe's best efforts, I now have waveforms of three different versions of Achilles Last Stand. Brace yourself form some large images ahead: Achilles Last Stand: Barry Diament's CD Mastering: 1990 Boxed set: 2008 SMH: I'm working on No Quarter and Kashmir. I'm going to have to do this over several posts as it's taking me a bit to process the files. Moar shortly.

WAT.
