It's probably the worst kind of snow. The kind where it's cold/windy enough out that you can feel each individual hair on your face.

This is the kind when it rain or melt a bit, but freeze again later making a layer of ice on top and a soft sticky snow underneat.

Snow changes a lot with weather conditions, all sorts of combos of dry/wet, hard/loose and so on. This type is called 'skare' in Norwegian.

8 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

Skare occurs when you get colder weather after a period of warm weather or rain so that the top layer freezes like this. Regular beneath.

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

In Alberta, Canada, its dry enough that when the top layer is frozen like this the shit under is often dry loose ice powder.

I get downvoted everytime I say this, but more frames is not necessarily better. There is a reason film is still usually shot at 24 frames.

8 years ago | Likes 18 Dislikes 27

Films are shot at 24fps because people are lazy, and can't be arsed to switch away from the century old industry standard.

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 5

That is just blatantly false. 24 is still the standard mainly because of the amount of motion blur it offers. 30+ gives soap opera effect.

8 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

That's exactly what I'm talking about. That "soap opera effect" you speak of is people's association of higher frame rates with (1/2)

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 2

low quality broadcasts as a result of their higher fps (50 where I live). Motion blur is not a desirable trait, but people are used to it.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 2

I agree I don't know why everyone trips out on 60fps. 24fps is the magic number. Anything more looks hoaky. I'm a film nerd though...

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

Sorry for your downvotes. As someone in the film profession, anything over 30 fps that isn't used for slowmo annoys the hell out of me

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

Wait, set down your torches and pitchforks. lets hear what he has to say first Then burn the heretic. I'm curious to hear why you think this

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

It's often referred to as the soap opera effect. Even tho it's higher frames and should be "higher quality" it feels cheaper.

8 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

Most media shot over 30 frames doesn't give the necessary motion blur to make things look cinematic. The footage feels plasticy.

8 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

More frames always equals better. Just because movies use 24 frames doesn’t mean that’s the best it can get.

8 years ago | Likes 10 Dislikes 3

Yeah no shit - more is always better

What do you mean "even tho I have an iPhone"? You think your camera is good just because Apple says so? Lol!

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 3

On iPhone you can go into settings and change frame rate from 30fps to 60fps if you like
