Myth of the Strong and Growing Middle Class in US

matt_gh2 — Wed, 22 Apr 2015 04:03:34 +0000

About half in US just barely get by or are poor. This is in contrast to politicians talking about a "strong middle class" and Oprah doing shows where supposedly average women are all buying special scented soaps, snazzy towels, and many other nice things for the house. Reality is median household income is $51,000. Adding up all taxes yields $17,000 to $25,000 in taxes depending on how you calculate. Assuming $20,000 in tax, that leaves $31,000...or $2583/month for a family of four. That's a tight budget. Not quite what's presented by media and politicians. (Of course many countries significantly worse.)

I'm sure many are aware of this, but thought many may not be, so here it is. Well anyway, guess my GH2 can be considered luxury now.

Best first hack settings for holiday footage

Hey everyone.

I've been following along the hacking progress for well over a year now but have still yet to make the switch and try a hack out.

I'm going to go to Paris next week for a holiday and am taking my GH2. I was planning to go stock, but i figure it'd be nice to get some more quality, and some higher ISO access.

My question is which setting is the best for me to try first. I'll be shooting with a mix of transcend cards, class 6 and class 10. I guess i'll have to go for class 6 safe settings then. I want maximum stability, and dont want the filesize to balloon up too much as i'll have limited cards with me.

I'll go ahead and scour the forum some, but i've been a bit out of it lately so would appreciate some recommendations of super stable first attempt hacks for this sort of situation.

Cheers

Best settings for safe spanning

I'm shooting a 1.5 hour performance tomorrow night (just got the gig tonight) and I can't afford to have the any issues with spanning. I've seen posts that 32MB at 1080p/24 is stable but I don't have time to test it out. Can anyone share their experience? I'm tempted to reset the camera to its original firmware to avoid any problems. I've got 32gb Transcend Class 6 cards. Thanks.

Ex tempore piece with 44Mbit 6GOP 24P

I Shot this Ex tempore piece with my 44Mbit 6GOP 24P settings and a Class 6 card. Although not quite art, I'm quite happy with it. :) Most of the shots were underexposed, then color corrected to something interesting. :) Used the 14-42 Kit lens with a Richarm 0.45x Adapter. Insanely Low budget (0 €)? YES! :D
