Maybe, although it’s multiple people, so seems like it wouldn’t be a camera fault.
Possibly it’s how they are getting to me - I don’t get them directly, they come to via someone else, and I think the someone else may be getting them via WhatsApp (which I don’t use).
So in fact it’s maybe the compression from WA, rather than an issue with HEIC? I should have thought of that before!
Maybe they’re doing something else to their files then, but seriously they are grainy as hell.
Ah, that’s a shame. Thanks anyway though :-)
Yeah I hate this too - one of my clients regularly supplies images as HEIC files and they are always crappy to work with. Plus the images just seem much lower quality, which is a problem when they are being used for professional purposes.
I considered that, but it’s a paid app - yes it’s only a token amount (99p in UK, ymmv) but just as a point of principal, am I fuck paying extra just to be able to open some photos.
This looks REALLY interesting, thanks for sharing!
And it worked. I just licked one. It tasted horrible.
Ah yeah, the Amen Break from Amen, Brother by the Winstons. There was actually a fundraiser for the guy a few years back, I threw in a few pounds, as his work has been the basis of a huge part of my musical taste!
That’s awesome, I had no idea he was behind that tune. I hope he got paaaaiiiid!
Ha, I bet :-)
I thought the strip across the bottom was called a chyron? Not heard it referred to as a bug before (not saying you’re wrong though).
Yeah ,definitely see that style too. Guys like Miles (and miles) O’Keeffe.
Luke looks a bit like Mark Zuckerberg here IMO. It’s a bit creepy.
That’s odd, I can use that gesture from any app. Wonder if it’s phone-specific.
What you’re describing is (or at least was) the traditional way of doing Hallowe’en here in Scotland (and also in parts of England Wales and Ireland I think).
Trick or Treaters, more traditionally known as Guisers (because they’re in disguise) are/were expected to earn their treat with some jokes, or a song, or something.
It’s largely dying out now, such is the influence of Halloween (without the apostrophe) and especially the American version of it. Part of me is a bit sad about that, but on the other hand, it’s a hell of a lot simpler if people just hand over sweets instead of requiring a performance! Kids do still usually have at least one joke to tell though, which is fun :-)
See also this article on the pagan festival of Samhain, from which…
Mumming and guising were part of the festival from at least the early modern era, whereby people went door-to-door in costume, reciting verses in exchange for food.
Ah, good shout, thanks I’ll do that 👍
