0:14 Hello, and thank you very much for listening to this episode of The Billy Newman photo podcast. I was just talking about terminal stuff and SSH in another podcast just a little bit ago. And I guess what I was gonna say is, how much about the channel? Do you know? Do you know any terminal tips? I was gonna try one out today, talking about it, it might be kind of tough. I'm sure that's what you're interested in listening to on your Alexa right now. Wait, I mean echo. Sorry. I was gonna mention the commands if you go to your Mac, or you go to a Unix system, as it were you open up a terminal. A couple of things you can run, it's probably going to run bash, I figure like I'm some expert, but I think that's the Bourne again, shall I think it's kind of one of the more modern, sort of basic default shells that seems to run. If you run Linux, I don't know got up. Yeah. And you probably know a lot more about it than I do already. So you know, you're on your terminal tip for the moment, especially if you're on a Macintosh, I guess it doesn't work on a Windows machine, because that runs DOS, right? It's not a Unix-based system shoot. But if you're on a Mac, and you want to get into your terminal, and you want to move around just a little bit to sort of seeing what it's like, I guess two commands that would get you started would be the ls command in the Bourne shell. So the bash shell. the ls command is like the list command. So when you type in LS, and then return, what you're going to have to happen is it's going to list the contents of the directory that you're currently in, in text and command line. Oh, man, it's pretty exciting. You're gonna be excited when you see it for the first time. If you want to see some other things, I guess what you try, this is a bonus one, this is a big one, too, is CD, this current directory command. So if you want to, I guess move directories from what directory you're at now, your root directory, let's say and you want to move up to your pictures directory that you see when you type in LS, you're going to type in cd space, pictures, and then you're going to hit return and that's going to move you to the directory of pictures then when you type in LS, you're going to get a list of the contents of the directory in pictures. Wow, pretty amazing. You moved a directory in Unix and you found out on this flash briefing. 2:30 You can see more of my work at Billy Newman photo calm, you can check out some of my photo books on Amazon. I think if you look at Billy Newman under the author's section there and see some of the photo books on film on the desert, on surrealism on camping, you cool stuff over there. I think like October, September, October and November I really like maybe one of my favorite outdoors seasons and this probably kind of set up that way for a lot of people that have like a tradition of going out on hunting trips through October or you know like going out on opening day or something like that in Oregon, I think it's October 1 maybe in other states it's in a part of September so I think it's kind of kind of been tuned and tied to the hunting season in like the American cultural lore for probably 100 years or eight years or so as it's kind of kind of been a part of the American mythologies but it's cool though I like going out in the fall it's really one of the best times to go camping it's when you get to kind of take or make use of all the equipment and stuff that you've sort of procured over time and and that's when you kind of also get to use some of the skills and stuff you've been trying to scout out or train on to kind of see how they work and the application of them you know in the summertime when it's really nice out it's cool to go out and camp and I've always had a really great time doing that but like the hot weather camping Oh, no, it's it's it demands a little less, I guess it's kind of obvious, but the environment is sort of something that you don't have to contend with as much. And in the deep winter, the environment is probably too much to contend with. So there's a cool kind of pocket that I like, as like an ideal, but a cool kind of weather pocket or environmental pocket between I guess like parts of the fall until November when it kind of gets too deep into it. And then parts of the spring as we're coming up into the summertime, where you can kind of feel like you're getting to do a little bit more fires. So kind of a no, right? over the winter, it's springtime to do that. But at least in late fall like in November or these like northern Oregon areas. After you start getting like a layer of snow or a significant amount of rain and the fire. The emergency level drops back down to the green. There's a lot of open burning that you can do on campsites that you sit at the public land and stuff. So I think that's always kind of a fun part of life. The winter like late fall camping stuff is when you get to set up like a bigger fire gather some wood gather some big logs to be kind of like your fuel for the evening it's kind of fun and it's sort of like that more I don't know primal kind of connective to to like the real kind of Route camping stuff but as it goes for a lot of the year like in the summertime like hot weather stuff you kind of like doing it around water or you know it's like we would we would do stuff you know you do rafting or something so it's kind of like enjoying the day you don't have to layer you don't have to wear like a dry suit or you know a bunch of different I don't know warming layers you have to kind of be conscious of so I think that's kind of where you start getting into more of that now I think like now like river trips and stuff you know they sort of shift from like the recreational summer tourism whitewater stuff they get between I guess like may and Labor Day and now as you get kind of further into September and now deep and October you have people I guess coming down just kind of strictly for some of the fishing season stuff so you get like instead of RAF's, you'll have a bunch of drift boats come down, like fishing boats and stuff, guided tours and stuff for some of the lower river stuff or just people out on there. That kind of set up and prepped for a fishing t

I think if you look at Billy Newman under the author's section there and see some of the photo books on film on the desert, on surrealism on camping, and cool stuff over there. I think Yeah like I said, I like the October period, you know, it's kind of a cool outdoor month for stuff and that's kind of what I'm going to talk about too is kind of layering up stuff for October I've been trying to kind of build up the layers of clothes and the layers of like shelter stuff that I have for some of the outdoor travel stuff that I go out and do and I do it on a budget and I don't have much stuff and like other people have a lot more experience of like just getting to try all these different pieces and see like the benefits or the kind of weigh out the pluses and minuses of different pieces. And so I'm sure it's probably the case that like the best gear is always the best gear. It's kind of interesting to sort of go through those checklists or you know, like kind of in your mind like seeing like what like how's this work or what's better for me for this thing or not. So I've been pretty happy to always have or for the last couple of years to have like a vortex range outlay and for a lot of outdoor stuff that I do in Oregon, later into the year that's been like a real lifesaver for having just like a hard waterproof shell that I can like the trust that as like a good hood on it that I can keep me dry for most of the day. That along with I guess kind of like working inward like the puffy jacket makes a huge difference. And so I use a puffy jacket all the time. There are a few differences like sizes though and you sort of have to like look at the down fill layer to see what's going to be best for you and like the climate that you're going out to that it's kind of weird it goes back and forth through me a little bit. So like out here in Oregon, where I am like west of the Cascades it's sort of a mild climate a lot of the year and so I'm able to I think you're kind of dealing with like above freezing temperatures. Most hours and on most days through the year I think like you know there's some sections of the year where you get some heavy freezes but outside of those storm times it's like pretty mild weather a lot of the time and if I'm going camping or doing something outdoors in the winter. Well, there are a couple of different types I definitely use it but really for a lot of like the three-season work I do. I use a light puffy jacket either because of North Face Thermal, or thermo ball, I think it's like a like polyester-based one. It's not a downfield, puffy jacket. But I've used that for maybe six years now. And I appreciate having that I think it's great. That's probably one of my most used insulating layers when I'm going out and I mean works great, really all four seasons with the kind of compared in these mild weather circumstances like I am here in Oregon like that paired with that shell, it has been enough for me to go out. And in almost every kind of weather circumstances I've been in when I've gone out and been working or like when I was working outside a lot in the rain and trying to be outside like most days through the fall and winter, it was really fine to do that with a strong or like a good GoreTex shell that keeps you dry all the way and puffy, thermo insulating layer that keeps you warm. So it's pretty cool, but kind of comparing that and I have like this Patagonia jacket that I think has a heavier down fill rating and that has a lot of insulation to it, which is cool, warm jackets are great. And I take that out kind of deeper into the winter. But what I noticed though, is that for a lot of circumstances, like I said three season work. And while you're working or kind of like physically ki

0:14 Hello, and thank you very much for listening to this episode of The Billy Newman photo podcast. Today I wanted to talk to you about the performance of the new MacBook Pros. Is there an issue with it? I don't know, I've heard a couple of stories about it where these higher I'm sure probably the entry-level system is quite adequate and a very positive type of computing experience that you're going to get from I'm sure you're going to be happy in a lot of experiences. But there's talking about the I nine system specifically because of its heat output. I think that you know, that's the new division of there's the I five processors, the ice seven processors. Now for laptops for the first time, in Mac, at least, you have the option to get a nine processor. Now I guess this has a significantly higher heat threshold than the processes before. And the laptops don't have a better system of removing that heat from the system than the previous laptops are then the other iterations of the laptop in the same line that produce much less thermal energy. So this is kind of, I guess, been performance hinders, in some cases, because there's something called thermal gating. It's a system where when the computer gets too hot, somewhere around boiling temperature, can you imagine that's happening just in your little laptop, heat venting out of your keyboard? Goodness gracious, that's what you have to do to get a 4k video coming out of a laptop. So with all this going on with that, that process, you're trying to not reach a boiling point, it does something called thermal gating where I guess it turns your fancy new four gigahertz I nine processor into quite a bit slower, one gigahertz processor kind of churning through some things because of its heat output, and because of how much heat is generating. So it's kind of an interesting thing. I guess there was a YouTuber that did a video render from an Adobe Premiere file, they did it, you know, on the desk, where it was pretty, it was spinning up, the fans producing a lot of heat and stuff, they put it in the freezer, which is maybe a good idea, maybe not I made me do it and put it in the freezer. And I guess the render time was 20% faster because it was not running up to the thermal gating fast, I guess because it was a better heat dissipation system, though. It's not an optimal system to run a computer freezer. Because of that system. And you know, it's a laptop of a very thin laptop, trying to run very high-performance utilities. So I'm kind of curious about, you know, really what the design perspective is on that. It'll be interesting to see where things go from here. And I'm sure things will probably be fine, but I don't know I don't I just still don't like USBC that's how old I am. Give me a headphone jack. 3:00 You can see more of my work at Billy Newman photo comm you can check out some of my photo books on Amazon. I think you can look at that Bitly Newman under the author's section there and see some of the photo books on film on the desert, on surrealism, camping, and cool stuff over there. Oh, yeah, there's been so many discoveries since last year, gravitational waves have been verified and had been projected before but now they've been verified, I guess I suppose. They say the math is strong. I'll let the scientific community that that's all but yeah, they say that they found what was it like a 26. And ours, I think was 26 and 34. solar mass black holes orbiting each other came closer and closer kind of spiraling in on their same-like point. And then they finally merged when the two giant black holes a solar mass, like we talked about before, is the size of our Sun. So one sun around Earth is one solar mass. So these black holes were each 30 solar masses, so 30 times more massive than the mass of the sun. And these two black holes smiled at each other. And it's at this rate, I think, predicted in Einstein's theory of special relativity, where it kind of matches a pattern of how gravitational bodies will orbit around each other and then collide with each other. And so when these two bodies collided with each other, there was an X, I think there was if you think of E equals MC squared as energy equals mass times the velocity of light squared, then what that would mean is that when mass is accelerated to a certain point turns in energy. That's what happened in this event, these 230 solar mass, black holes collided with each other. It released three solar masses That are three times the whole mass of our Sun, from mass into energy out into space. And I think this is one of like the largest or the most energetic events that we've been able to record. in cosmology. It's really big. Yeah, well, yeah, or not, not in priority, but in the amount of energy that's exchanged at a single point that's verifiable. And so that's, I think, what the type of thing that this, this type of observing observatory was looking for, was something to collect these gravitational waves. So it's a cool story, they've kind of figured that out. I think that was back in September, that they made the observations, and then now, and was it early February, mid-February, that's when they kind of announced it probably won't make a lot of changes for any daily use, but it will change a lot of the astronomical. Well, I'd say like, part of the study of astronomy going forward in the next 50 or 75 to 100 years, you know, it's because now we can make gravitational telescopes, we can make these tools that can observe gravity waves out in space. And this is just the first time that we've done it, this was an observation of one of the strong signals are strong events that we'd be able to gravitationally pick up. And so now from here, over the next several generations of this, this technology, they're going to be able to refine it so much more that they're going to be able to pick out much more subtle gravitational waves. And once they're able to do this, or once you're able to, let's say, now that it's proven this type of technology out into space, and then make that experience vast, we're going to be able to refine details of these gravitational waves to a much smaller resolution. And that's going to give scientists and cosmologists and these new

0:14 Hello, and thank you very much for listening to this episode of The Billy Newman photo podcast. Yeah, this summer, I've been trying to do a lot to work to get together some new photos, some new stuff to try and kind of build a base, and then move from there a little bit. But I'm excited to try and put up a bunch of the older portfolio photographs that I have. And I was really happy to work on the website a lot this summer, I kind of redesigned a bit of that, you check that out, totally think of it, it's a billion human photo.com. And I tried to strip out a lot of the unnecessary parts, and I'm trying to kind of hone it down a little bit. So it's a little cleaner, but it's gone. Well, I've tried to set it up a little bit more. So it's stream-based if that makes sense. You know, we've kind of moved toward like the Facebook stream, the Twitter stream, the Instagram stream. So I'm trying to kind of move it to were like I talked about on the podcast before where a lot of the media stuff that I put together, the video clips, the photographs, and stuff that wherever they do end up going whatever sites I am populating, like flicker and Instagram and Facebook and all the rest of it, that's kind of what's shown on the website or you know, have the websites kind of try and automatically pull that stuff and ingest that into the website. So I don't have to do it as much. And that's kind of been fun. It's kind of been cool doing that. But the thing that I need to do, the part that is still left is I need to go through my photo portfolio, kind of the long-term portfolio of images I have, and I'm trying to go through and select what would be good to show the work that I've done so far. And I'm trying to do that in a way that's more developed than I had before I've gone through and I've selected, I've kind of picked the photos that I liked a lot. But I've tried to do a couple of different things. And hey, another truck. Man, that looks like a few times of gravel in the back. So what I want to do them, with the photo stuff, and what I've kind of been trying to work on a little bit is to go through Instagram, or to go through Facebook and to try and select my favorite photographs, but then also just select the ones that have been sort of chosen by the market. That's another idea that I'm trying to go for what do people actually like about the pictures that I take? What are the ones that people seem to connect with the most. So on one level, I'm trying to find all those photos. And then I'm trying to sort of remake those photos or re edit them or you know, kind of re republish them in a way that looks sort of new. And that's cleaned up a little bit in the way that I can I can edit and create stuff now. So part of the step is that and then the other part is sort of learn what people like are the photos I make. And then I want to go out and try and make more of that. Or try and dig in a little deeper on on the part that seems to get the most traction or that seems to be seen as the most valuable. So what are those, like what I've noticed? 3:03 Well, yeah, what I've noticed anecdotally so far is that the low light stuff, or the Astro photography, the night photography, the landscapes, where there's stars matched in the background seem to really perform really well. And I really love trying to take those photos and I know a lot about how to lay out the stars that I would want in that foot or you know, I know where the stars are, I know how to kind of line some of the landscapes I thought that I know how to expose for it. So that's a part that I'd really like to get into and push for more what seems to be a draw the photos that I take. But on the other side of that too, I really want to do more, more fine art photography, that's what I really liked, and was kind of drawn into when I first started taking photos, even way back on film, before I knew how at all but I really liked the fine art side of it, where you could go through and try and put the nicest elements together or, you know, try and put a landscape together. But I like that side of it a lot more than the product or production side of it. In, in a sense at least. And I've always been really interested in the fine art photographers that are out there, or the fine art landscape photographers where you see some of the advanced kind of work that they put together some of the ways that they're able to put real pieces real elements into a photograph, it's always seemed so cool, when you're really able to be in tune with that sort of stuff. And I've just always loved the old landscapes and, you know, old Fine Art images from the past. So that's got to the stuff that I'm trying to get into. But organizing this stuff has been interesting. So I'm trying to use this program called Scrivener. And maybe I talked about it before or maybe a while back. I talked about it. But Scrivener is kind of interesting. It's this, and I talked about it yesterday. No, but it's this writing application that I'm trying to get into and it seems like it would take a few tutorials to really figure out it's a little bit more in depth. Hey, gravel truck. It's a little bit it's quite a bit more in depth than something like Word. Even though Microsoft Word is sort of an industry standard that every One has sort of learned on for the last 1520 years, it really is a little bit more specific to like an essay for at least the way I've learned it. But it's more specific to the an essay format of word processing, where you're trying to get a page accomplished, and you're trying to edit through that or you're trying to edit through kind of a single document. And Scrivener is sort of laid out in a way where there's a few more pieces on the side of it, where it's really supposed to be a research applicant, or you're supposed to kind of compile 5:28 different documents of text research or photo research and kind of put that together. And then you're able to sort of assemble a larger writing projects from there, which I think is kind of interesting. Like I figure like book authors would use a writing program like this to work on their character outlines, and their story outlines their plot summaries, and then they would work that into the manuscri

0:14 Hello, and thank you very much for listening to this episode of The Billy Newman photo podcast. 0:23 I'm showing another photograph of mine today, this one from Mount Washington up in the Cascades. It's a really beautiful spot. And I appreciated this, this day to photograph it because of those high altitude clouds that you see in the photograph with a lot of that dark rich color, and it seems like a lot of I don't know if it's moisture thickness, or density, or just the parts of it were thinner, and there's passing cloud or something like that. But I loved the light that day, it was sort of a vanilla color. At least in the higher part. You see those dark blues down toward the horizon where it seemed like there was a lot more of a heavy storm that was moving in. But it's a cool spot up. I think it's on-off highway 126. You take that to the end and then you come into that road that's going to take you down into sisters right before the hoodoo snowpark but you can go up there and there's a number of spots you can get a good view of Mount Washington really beautiful kind of picturesque peak and especially when it's covered in snow like this, it looks almost like the like mount Paramount, you know the one in the movie, the movie and trail. But it was a really cool spot. It's an interesting mountain and it's a cool spot up there there's really happy to have this photograph and a few of the others in the sequence come out the way that they did that it's cool, I appreciate the kind of tonal color of it and just the sharpness the way that that mountain really kind of has a presence in the frame you really get that with that compression of the big lens 1:47 you can see more of my work at Billy Newman photo comm you can check out some of my photo books on Amazon. I think if you look at that Bitly Newman under the author's section there and see some of the photo books on film on the desert, on surrealism on camping and cool stuff over there. We did like a bunch of traveling and we recorded a bunch of stuff which was pretty cool it was kind of a special project so that's what we're gonna be talking about today. But Marina what kind of special work were we doing? 2:20 It was super cool we were doing some 360 video and photo recording 2:27 and it was really cool yeah it was really interesting doing that I did like a little bit of a podcast talking about the idea 360 video and some of the GoPro fusion stuff but yeah, it was really interesting having the GoPro fusion for for a week we rented it and we went around and we shot like a bunch of footage all over Oregon and a whole lot of different spots have a similar like the natural areas that we've been where we've had like the the just it's probably like the more high profile locations for landscapes and a lot of the areas in Oregon so it was really cool getting to run around and maybe be some of the first people to shoot some high end or higher quality 360 footage in those areas. 3:07 Yeah, I think so definitely. I think there's some of the spots we got to the I don't think I really see many regular photos from 3:13 yeah not many people really go there in the first place. Yeah, and really some of those locations were incredibly beautiful like I was thinking about I think about like sisters rock that we did at the end that evening was just so cool but just the the way that the 360 video virtualizes is really interesting to look at it it's kind of a neat kind of optical effect when you get to look out and you get to kind of turn your head and see just sort of this the field of view that you would see if you were experiencing the place if you're traveling there but it's really fun to get to see especially in certain locations you know where you really get to turn your head and see different aspects to the environment that are going on. Yeah there's something going on 3:52 yeah, it was it's really cool what a great job we the GoPro camera does yeah just with the quality of it looks so real and so beautiful 4:02 yeah I was really interested in that and how it was gonna do but but yeah the GoPro fusion is I think the the newest offering from the GoPro camera company and and you know they have they have the regular you know, two dimensional system still too but but the three 3d six system is really interesting. It's not through sight, it's not 3d, but it's a 360 degree spherical image it's well I was talking about an actual rectilinear image that stitch together from two cameras that record 180 degrees of your field of vision, and then that's brought into the computer and stitched with the special software, the fusion Studio software, and it's really interesting how it works but I think this is really pretty new. If I understood right from from like the the invoice and what I understand about GoPros these cameras really have just come out I think it was it was marked as the the like the innovative product of the year at CES this year. So that back in January Pre announced. And I want you know when some some more now it's interesting, but but I think it has really just come out for release in April now. And then so we're probably some of the first people to even rent it from this company that has it available. So it was cool. Yeah, last couple of weeks of May. And yeah, trying some of the new technology out. But the GoPro fusion is probably the most adept 360 camera that's available for consumer use right now. I think there was the other camera, the ryla, which is a 360 degree camera that also has some of the video gimbal stuff that the GoPro has. But really, I think the GoPro is higher end. And there's, it seems like, every time I've not used the GoPro system, I've had a little bit more trouble, but I was really impressed with that works, that's really the only 360 system I've used. There's also the theta camera built by Rico, that is 4k video. And that's a little bit less expensive. I think that's been out for a couple years. But um, but I don't think that's the gimbal system, you missed the stepping kind of image stabilization. 6:01 Man, that made a huge difference for videos, we were able to watch them, I guess you can preview them on your phone with an app. Yeah, just from directly fr

0:14 Hello, and thank you very much for listening to this episode of The Billy Newman photo podcast. Today I wanted to talk to you about something, maybe important, but do you use a VPN? I don't use a VPN, and I probably rarely do. But I'm kind of figuring out now like how many pieces of information routers pick up and your ISP picks up about your traffic. And I'm trying to finally figure out what HTTPS is good for, like HTTP exists, like what we remember in the 90s, typing that into Netscape trying to get to our first web domain. Or we have HTTPS now, which is the secure hypertext transport protocol. And I guess that encrypts the data that's transmitted across that protocol before that HTTP had just an open protocol where you could still read the contents of data that was being routed to that page. So at least, I guess with HTTPS, that data is encrypted, like your banking data is encrypted, or your payment data is encrypted, and it can't be siphoned off in some man-in-the-middle attack, I guess, apparently, or unless that didn't work that time. That's sort of how hacks always work. Oh, yeah, it's protected. But except for that thing that it didn't work for. We weren't protected by that. Okay, well, so if you are interested, I think a VPN is sort of an interesting way where you can create a virtual private network is what it stands for. Many of them are paid, and many of them seem to be free. I think the probably the best one to jump into if you're interested in something like Tor or the Tor Browser, the Tor router when they talk about that, I think it's like a virtual private network system that kind of jumps you around to different IP addresses before it finally spits it out somewhere. And what that allows you to do is sort of anonymizing the the registry information that would be tracked about your connection to the Internet. At that router, is interesting. I've been learning all sorts of stuff about all the things that attract and sort of where it logs the router information. Wild to know about but man, it's it makes you think a little bit about all the different things that you're tracked on over the internet, everywhere. Crazy stuff. It's a weird world that we're gonna live the weird world we will live in over the next 15 to 20 years like the last 15 to 20 haven't been so 2:39 you can see more of my work at Billy Newman photo comm you can check out some of my photo books on Amazon. I think you can look at Billy Newman under the author's section there and see some of the photo books on film on the desert, on surrealism on camping, and cool stuff over there. But this week, I want to talk about some of the past truck travel stuff that we've done, and I think you're the guy who inspired me to get a truck at the first man I got a truck gotta have a truck. Strangely, though, most of my road trip travel has been stolen camera and the cameraman. 3:22 But that camera was legendary. 3:24 It was legit. It was absolutely legendary. But for today's episode we're thinking about doing was kind of breaking down a couple of the stories in the past we had about doing some overland stuff, some overland, like travel, if you can call it overland. I don't know that's like a heavy word. I think that's a modern word, right? Like this term. I've seen that around like overland where people have seen a lot of that. Yeah, it seems to be kind of the trendy sort of rich guy word to say for Whelan. I'm going Madden. Landrover Madden or four, four wheeling or something. You take that overlanding overland 3:58 excursion? 3:59 Oh yeah, it's always that but i think that's kind of a funny part of it. But I see like a ton of that stuff. I got into that, like, I got into that stuff back in 2011. Like the overland travel Have you ever seen like the magazine overland journal? 4:12 Is that inactive? 4:14 I think so. Yeah, I don't know. It's like sort of a niche. It's a niche category. Like this whole thing. So it's where it's like that thing. You'd never find it unless you looked for it. But it's kind of it's interesting. There's tons of stuff out there like that, but that's one of the first ones that I ran into. And that's like, that's when I had like the Camry and I was back in college and stuff. And you know, that's when I first really wanted to get because I couldn't get a Landrover from the 70s I really wanted to get like a roof rack and a top box. I was I was like set on that because if I could get that, that was like that was like my that was my version of making like a Camry into an overland vehicle, you know, because I'm going to get into this but I'm 20 and I've got 138 bucks, so we're going with that. Yeah. Without as a part of it so yeah I remember setting up like like setting up the car that the roof the roof top or the top box you know man those are those are like super handy like and that was great on the on the camera when I had it but that was all kind of what was yours 5:12 you had like that that top box 5:15 yeah it was a I forget what it is now I think there's like the excursion that I had at a time and then there was like the summit model that 5:24 we didn't have the overland model didn't 5:26 I missed out on both of these were like oh man they were like you know I don't know the early 90s maybe late night early mid 90s or something that's like when the plastic was produced that's when that thing was called New and now it was just sitting on my my equally old aged car gonna go around and grab those things hold their value like crazy I picked mine up both of mine I think now three of them in total I picked three of those top boxes up oh on Craigslist was for different cars and stuff I got a little fat one for the for the Camry I've had one for the truck and we got one from Marina CRV or what do you say the truck I mean the old foreigner let's get into that later too but that long one on the old foreigner so I bought like a few of them and I always bought them on us like on Craigslist or something right like yeah it's like new they're like five or 600 bucks to get into this cheap man yeah it's yeah super frustrating so even when they're used they're they're still floating in like for good ones or for like stuff from the 2000s tha

0:14 Hello, and thank you very much for listening to this episode of The Billy Newman photo podcast. But this photograph is a cool one from the Sierra Nevada on the east side of the Sierra Nevada mountain ranges near Lone Pine, California, in the Alabama hills. And we liked camping in the Alabama hills. This was I think, right during Thanksgiving week. During 2012, we had a blast being there and camping there during the day, it was cool. It was strange because, at that time of year, the sun sets still very early. Like it was around three o'clock that the sun would set behind these mountains. But it would be pretty warm out I think we remember getting sunburned out there even on the first and second day of December when was still when we were still there. It was pretty cool. We had a lot of fun being out there. And this is a really beautiful photograph of it that we took early that morning around sunrise. 1:14 You can see more of my work at Billy Newman photo calm, you can check out some of my photo books on Amazon. I think if you look at Billy Newman under the author's section there and see some of the photo books on film on the desert, on surrealism, camping, you cool stuff over there. Today I posted a photograph from the way Canyon area, it's like really remote South East Oregon territory. It's cool out there I've only gone out there a couple of times and truthfully we need to be I don't know just needs to be explored much more than what I've put my time into it for but it it's just so remote. It's amazing how it is that they like what we did we came in from Boise we drove down and through that, you're kind of in the Ottawa area as it kind of flows into I guess though what he would flow into the Snake River. Somewhere around Ontario, Oregon. But up above that, I guess the law he goes up toward Winnemucca which is sort of what I understand or at least kind of stretches on there a little bit I was hearing about we were handing to this guy. This kind of eccentric mountain man, when we were in the Molalla Mountains and he had talked to us stopped for a second he was using like hiking pants and you know a jacket with the handkerchief on he was probably in his 60s maybe. And he told us that he was uh I don't know what he was using the things he had been out there for maybe like a month or so maybe, maybe he said like four or five weeks of being out in the mountains. And he was he had his partner going back into town to get provisions when we ran into him but he had a tripod and a camera and he was walking around, or he's on a hike through the ego cap wilderness trying to find these, these trees, this type of pine that's being affected by climate change. As the climate gets warmer in the Alpine area. As the temperature starts to lift in elevation, it changes the types of tree species that can live in the Alpine area there. So I guess it kills them off as the temperature gets higher. For certain types of pine trees. This was like a two-needle pine and a five-needle pine, something like that. But apparently, 3:31 I guess that's what this guy's working on. So he's trying to work on a photo project for this. He talked to us for a while, though, about the law, he came in about the Snake River and about, I guess how before the dams were built, the salmon run with flow up the Columbia River, up the Snake River, up the Elahi river, and you would get salmon run into the interior area of Winnemucca, California or Winnemucca, Nevada, way out there. So it's just really weird how it kind of pulls up these smaller tributaries of the Columbia from the ocean back into the central part of the state of Nevada to grab a chip. But it was interesting to talk to that guy for a few. And then when we were out in the Milwaukee area, it goes on for a long time. But there are a few different sections of it's a big river, right, like so it's it's whole territory of land that sort of meanders through that section of Oregon. But really beautiful landscape out there. What we did is we went to Rome. And then there's like the pillars of Rome, that's this, this area out there but then off from that you can drive south really for quite a while for a while on a dirt road. And then you pull around. And we take like this bumpy little road, like a little access road out to this point. And we did some cool photos of the awapuhi Canyon. It's pretty right there. At least in this spot that we were taking photos of. But it's cool. I guess if you go a little further you can pull into this, this Three Forks region, I think there's a dam, or there maybe there a few dams in Hawaii it seems like that's kind of what I've noticed from it, but there's this backed up area where you can go in And then what I want to do is I want to get a kayak and I want to set up a camping trip and kind of do like a backpacking trip and just throw the backpack in the kayak and then cut across the water you know kind of cut down though the law he river and then pull out on different sides of it you know over a couple of days and do some camping and do some photos but I seemed like a cool place to explore the Three Forks area I guess was that like the trout Creek mountains it's maybe somewhere near there maybe it's not too near to there I guess that whole area stretches out in a pretty expansive way like so. So from the Hawaii section then we drove over to like the burns junction and then you have to drive past that and then you're pretty close to the Alvord Desert. That's when we're driving West right? So we're way out east like near McDermott, Oregon Rome Oregon, I don't know it's way out there here that like like this week in early October right here it's hunting season and I guess I guess that's a huge area for or it's a it's a big district for some of the bigger mule deer and I guess the elk that are out there I guess it's a big area to go hunt elk but I've also heard like the fossil area there's probably plenty of drainage is that that workout is good hunting lands for this time of year for whoever's into that but yeah I've just been working on some photo stuff so yeah, the photo from the Hawaii canyonlands area is posted I put that one up I worked on it for a little while trying to do some editing stuff and b

0:14 Hello, and thank you very much for listening to this episode of The Billy Newman photo podcast. I'm talking about a photograph that I made on the Oregon coast today doing blue hour probably, I think it was after the senate set sort of like you know, the golden hour to talk about right as the hour as the sun is setting into the sunset, the blue hour, they also talk about as after the sun goes down, there's a lot of those blue kind of purple tones that show up in the atmosphere, or you know, in the clouds and the water. There's just a lot more of that tone as the sun drops and as the spectrum shifts from what we see in the daylight to what we see at nighttime, but I think this was a photograph taken on the Oregon coast. I think you're Bandon if I'm right, and I really liked this photo just had, it wasn't really a big structure in the wave or a big curl or anything like that. That'd be that'd be really striking. But I really appreciated this photograph as kind of a close up look at just sort of the dreamy feeling of being on the coast but there's definitely a photograph that I liked a lot and I liked that line in the skies it is it cuts across. As you can kind of see at the top there there's a bit of a like a cloud break that goes down and that's where we get a lot of that light from the sky in the background that kind of cuts underneath. That big brand of cloud that goes over the top of the snapback causes a lot of bounce from the ground back up to the sky and then back down and you get a cooler or well you get a diffused sort of soft light and net effect which I think is really cool. 1:50 You can see more of my work at Billy Newman photo comm you can check out some of my photo books on Amazon. I think if you look up Billy Newman under the authors section there and see some of the photo books on film on the desert on surrealism on camping, you cool stuff over there kind of continue with some of the stuff that I've been talking about the last couple episodes talking about some everyday carry camping stuff that a an outdoors II stuff that I have around with me as I was gonna talk a bit about flashlights too. I've been trying to pick up some some kind of outdoor flashlights that I can have around with me had the headlight I have a headlamp I have a black diamond headlamp I like that headlamp works pretty well for me it's a pretty rugged, kind of outdoorsy sort of Rei ready tool works pretty well. I think it's around like 190 lumens or so for the spotlight piece and then there's sort of a not as bright kind of wild angle LED light on there to also as the switch over to the red LED a lot of that stuff is nice works pretty well hasn't really failed me yet runs on three AAA batteries I think it's a pretty cool piece I think it's been fine I've been also kind of looking around at other flashlight units and other kind of outdoors sort of work and utility flashlights that I can get ahold of for the longest time as as a kid I was really into the mag light systems you know like the the kind of like the cop lights that you'd have the runs on the DSL size batteries and I had like the the to sell flashlight That was a good one to kind of put they had like a truck holster these little pins that you can put down kind of drill them straight down to the bed of your truck by your your left hand driver side as you kind of dropped down to the floor there before you get out your driver's side door and you could kind of pop in a to sell mag light there as you truck like I said that was pretty cool and but I'd have the add the mag lights and stuff around a long time I think that's what you know what they have like the five seven mag light that for sell three so they have the two double a mag lights yeah you know the model across the lineup and stuff had those for years. Those ended up kind of failing on me after a while and now they're really not supposed to but I think like the back end sort of rested up and then I had some trouble with corrosion with the batteries that were in there and I wasn't able to break it open with the the PB blaster penetrating fluid that I was hoping to use on it. Anyway that's all to say that maglite has been put aside I think for a couple years I haven't used other stuff LED is the way to go maglite hasn't really updated the technology so that you're still using kind of a real lame like 50 or 80 lumen incandescent ball but they just pop in there which I think is really inferior especially at this point and they're LED conversion options that they make, I think are really limited and aren't really anywhere near the type of LED it's you know, it's just it's it's like a reproduction of the same incandescent ball but as like an LED as a real kind of harsh I thought blue light to it. And it doesn't really have that kind of bright and crisp sort of layout and focusing beam system that you get even with really cheaply made Chinese LED lights now So I was trying to find so that kind of brought in some of the cool sort of outdoorsy or utility stuff toughness that the maglite had with its branding, or you know, kind of with its flashlight engineering. And then something that kind of brought in some of the cool LED, focusing being light technology stuff that we have with the more modern flashlights that that we've had over the last 10 years or so right, like blue LEDs came out in 2008, something like that. So that's the first time that we had red, green and blue LEDs, which allowed us to make white LEDs and that allowed us to make you know, all these cool color changing light emitting diode patterns that we have now and that's where we can get these diodes that are real bright and just kick out a ton of light versus their power output. So we can run these incredibly bright 1000 lumen flashlights out of just like a handheld couple battery, you know, like I know, a few afford DSL battery or an eight double a cell battery. You can load up these flashlights or you can load them up with your own rechargeable batteries which is a really cool new feature you can juice them up with USB like your iPhone and then punch that light on you can run a sustained like 1000 lumen torch for hours off of that it's really cool yeah those kind of options now so that's

0:14 Hello, and thank you very much for listening to this episode of The Billy Newman photo podcast. Today I was going to be talking about some of the ideas around VR rendering, I've been just getting into that after recording a ton of 4k, I think 5.2k video with the GoPro fusion I've just talked about a lot of that stuff on the last flash briefing, but today, I've been bringing it over onto my MacBook Pro, which is quite a modern version of the computer. I think many of the pros commented recently, it's probably the better iteration of the MacBook Pro for the last number of years. I'll get into that and some of the apple WWDC news just in a few seconds, but for some of the VR rendering that I'm doing on it without maybe a dedicated graphics card to push through it as you know, the fast clip, it takes a long time so I'm trying to export 360-degree equo rectilinear video footage in 4k mp4 file format with an H dot 264 to throw in some other term that this someone might not understand. But I've been trying to do that overnight. So I've been using, I've been using that command if you have a Macintosh, this is a good one to learn. If you go into your terminal, I think you can use the command caffeinate just the word caffeinate and then space dash D and that will force your MacBook or your iMac or you know you're your Apple computer to remain on and to not go to sleep under the normal circumstances that your settings would have precluded it to do. So it's a really cool, cool little bit, if you're just trying to make your computer stay on or force it to stay on for a longer amount of time, it leaves the screen on to you gotta you gotta do your little f one f two thing or something to turn that down but it works really well that I've been using that to leave the computer on and have it running so that it can be churning through some of these 4k rendering jobs that I have the computer set to do overnight while I'm sleeping so I put the computer out in another room and then I have you know like a queue of video set up for it to stitch together this GoPro stitching stuff for the GoPro fusion software is really intensive I know that Oh man, I get into that some of the time but man the stitching software is just I mean can you imagine what it has to do to stitch hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of frames all in like 5k or something to make it almost like you know a seamless you know make a look good and so just don't get a blurry line. So I'm amazed that it can do any of that sort of stuff at all. But it's you know, it's fascinating as it is but it takes a long time and it's interesting to get to the point where you're like Oh man, this computer can't do like a professional job like this and that's where you think you think you think You almost hit the limit of the need for computing or you know the need for a lot of the processor speed or the I don't know what it would be the specs of a computer and you think that for a lot of web-based desktop publishing stuff or phone-based mobile publishing stuff, we've really maxed out the need for the speed of a lot of the components but then you come into a position like this where you're starting to do higher level compiling or the higher level rendering of either like you know, compiling like a code base or something or trying to render out some of these higher file formats. video files, you notice like how long it takes and how much you would really have an improved job by having an improved machine and so I think that's where like a lot of stuff like the pro line of Apple hardware comes into play like the iMac pro that came out earlier this year and that's I bad I guess it's been semi well received by some of the pros there's just not a huge part where you can't upgrade it you know it's an iMac computer so it's going to be strong and 4:04 capable at video are capable at Thunderbolt expansion to whatever that would mean for you. But it doesn't have expandable slots or you know expandability within the frame of the computer. Then even really the cylinder Mac Pro didn't have the expandability that they thought it would have and I think that was also part of the graphics card architecture that they use don't end up getting updated there's a whole kind of snafu around stuff around that where that's why that computer didn't get updated in the fashion that they maybe thought it would have and that's I think why like a lot of the more modern 5k monitor IMAX are faster computers are higher spec computers have, I guess a newer generation architecture for their, their core processor than even the highest SPECT cylinder MacBook Pro At this point, I guess, given that it came out what 2013 and hasn't seen a whole update yet since then. So, or I don't know, minor update, you know, like, kind of, you know, just simple component stuff. But not it was just kind of internally within the spec, but I don't think there's been an actual rendition that's been new from that. Yep. So that kind of brings me I guess, to the last point, which is, Apple's WWDC is supposed to be coming up here real soon in just the beginning part of June. And that's when we're supposed to get some information about it, I guess it would be the developer preview for iOS 12. And some of the news a rumor oil, I guess rumors would be currently what they are, after WWDC is when we're going to get confirmation from Apple about the direction in design and feature choice, it's going to be going into iOS 12. And maybe we'll get some hints on the types of devices or the I don't know, maybe it's going to lean heavily toward the AR, maybe it's gonna lean heavily to the gesture format that we've started seeing in the iPhone x, kind of versioning of iOS 11. I don't know yet. But hopefully, we'll see some Siri improvements. Seems like that's gotten long in the tooth after a little while, especially kind of starting to see now given you know, like this, and what the echo is capable of. And well, I guess some of those Google demos that we saw a few weeks ago about artificial intelligence, parsing the verbal cues of what people are saying and trying to have that fill out a form of data. It's interesting stuff. 6:33 You can see more of my work at Billy Newman photo Comm. Y
