    big mistake picking the canon G9 as ive owned the camera ๐Ÿ˜‚ went straight to my files and pushed the shadows ๐Ÿ˜
    glad your not a science teacher, my daughter was teaching a class 2 years ago as a first year uni student and told the head of science he made a big mistake in one of his classes, he went home that night to look up the subject and he was wrong , told my daughter he had been teaching the same subject content for 20 years ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿคจ

    and you got a like for your post ๐Ÿซฃi pushed the same d30 files of similar subject with "NO" noise loss of colours and detail.

    Simple question
    How did you push the shadows to the extent that John has?

    dont need to, look at the clipped blacks in the images i posted. Kind of now makes me think that no modern camera can actually come close to utilizing even 8 bits using jpegs, looking at the gray scale on most cameras theres lucky to be 4 bits of seperation.

    even colour picking the g9 full res sample scale the last 4 blacks are basically the same

    I don't think math, physics, and the statements by scientists make much of an impact, anymore, aside from being starting points for disagreements by those who have "done their own research". ๐Ÿ˜‰

    here in australia we are constantly told (brainwashed) that diesel 4wd utes and trucks are the gold standard and petrol 4wd are a joke and not good. so a bunch of top 4wders took there deisels to america to shoot a utube show and got laughed at and told that no one and i mean no serious 4wder uses a diesel engine in america ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ˜

    i will give you a good example of current so called scientists and field experts. i live in an area where we have our own septic systems that are supose to be installed by a professional and systems that have been biological tested for the best reasults in bio degrading the matter. well in the last 15 years i have seen at least 10 systems fail and even my nextdoor neibour installed a $25,000 system, i knew right from the start it wasnt going to work due to the design and the type of soil and topping for the epvaporative system used, i told him he will have to spread his grey water on his yard because his latest desing system is not going to work. well 1 year later and his shit is now seeping into my yard ๐Ÿ˜’., im so pissed im going to build a wall that directs the run off back onto his property ๐Ÿ˜ i have built a $200 system for my own property knowing that the non-comonsense approch that scientists dont seem to be gifted with at birth, ๐Ÿซฃ๐Ÿคช my system is biolgically perfect with basicall NO solids left after my yearly tank evacuation and testing . my suface area for my evaperation system is 1/10 of the supposed required area . commonsense is not so common these days im afraid, but money driven businesses are.

    Sometimes, when you see that science has been hijacked by industry and globalist billionaire "philanthropists", doing your own research may be the wisest thing to do.

    I don't disagree (obviously). In fact, one of my favorite YouTube personalities put out a scathing indictment of modern academia:

    And, indeed, Richard Feynman's commencement address, Cargo Cult Science:

    calteches.library.caltech.edu/51/2/CargoCult.htm

    lives close to my heart. But for too many, "do your own research" means "confirmation bias extravaganza", or, worse, listening to "experts" like this:

    www.reddit.com/r/JoeRogan/comments/1c8nyiz/everyone_is_now_dumber_for_having_listened_to_that/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

    On the other hand, if I used essential oils and drank "hydrogen infused water", perhaps I'd see that math and science are just that much BS, after all. ๐Ÿ˜‚

    the vid was fun, but then i watched one of her vids on climate change and super cold water and clouds, she didnt even mention the fundamentals and what super cold water actually is ๐Ÿค”ive studied met so i know exactly what it is and why it remains super cold and doesnt change state ๐Ÿ˜Š
    after a good laugh better get back to playing my new guitar ๐Ÿ˜Ž

    Which one? I've watched a couple of her climate change videos (and even saw a really good rebuttal to one of them), but didn't see that one. Mainly I just like the physics stuff.

    turned it off within the first 30 secs , he said the vid was hypothetical. and he had green fingernails ๐Ÿคจ the one he was actually talking about.

    ???

    I know I'm not speaking for the majority (unfortunately) when I say this, but I'm of the opinion that what a climate scientist with a Ph.D from Oxford says carries more weight than the color of their fingernails.

    ???

    Anyway, the video is a really good example of the scientific method, where you can't (well, shouldn't -- plenty of people do) just cite a single study that corroborates a personal belief and ignore all the studies that don't.

    Ph.D doesnt impress me. he could of gained it with a paper writern on why he has painted his fingernails green. i much prefer a person with practical experience and common sense approch in their respective industry . they also never state what their Ph.D subject matter was ๐Ÿค”

    But practical experience alone is also not enough for me to take them seriously depending on the topic being discussed.

    For example, just because someone can change the oil, spark plugs and the tyres on a car does not in any way qualify them to design and build safe cars.

    are you saying that the guy with the PhD in finger painting being discussed can/has built planet earth ๐Ÿค”

    No. What I am saying is that just because someone can fix or build something does not necessarily make him an expert in that thing or anything else.
