Movies on Nikipress !!!

I launched a new movie site on the network. It’s a pity the world is turning into shit , because I can see how this vision could have come to fruition had we been given more time. The end is near I guess. And that’s sad for some of us. Because it’s costing lives as this evil agenda is being rolled out.

At any rate. The site address is https://movies.nikipress.com . There you will find many movies that I’ve selected to get the site some content at first. Some good one’s there. I’ll try to add some every week.

There is just too much to keep track of. People were supposed to be helping me with all this content. Can’t afford to pay anyone . So I’ve got to slog it ahead on my own. I see people not being able to really do much these days. They’re all like robots.

New platforms needed.

I find myself posting video’s . We’re in a war of words. I don’t even know how safe it is to be so open about what I do. This is becoming a war on my identity and what I believe. I feel like we’re losing the war because people are so addicted to facebook , twitter and youtube. The mainstream of society don’t know anything different. As long as it’s free that is all they care about. What are we going to do ?
I have tried to find an avenue of expression but having a website doesn’t quite cut it because people aren’t going to leave the comfort of their platform to come view my webpage. But if someone would just make a search engine that works like facebook then we can each have our own websites , post what we want but all be linked on that search engine. Wish I knew more about web design .

We have mewe.com and parler.com…but we need more. There is also Brighteon which I’ve joined but couldn’t care a less about. When we post on these platforms it seems like we’re preaching to the choir. We need our own conservative free platforms. The only way we’re going to get them is to pay for them. Free stuff always costs you something in the end.

The truth is going to come out but will it be too late ? I hear what they’re planning on doing to us and I cringe. I knew they would eventually back us into a corner.

So facebook bans me

 

You don’t get to tell me about your stupid community standards when all the while you’ve got no standards yourself ! All you do is sell information to the highest bidder and spy on people. Just who the hell do you think you are ? You’re not God or the Catholic church.

This is a christian network , Nikipress I mean. I participate on facebook but lately I’ve come to the conclusion that Satan is alive and well on facebook. I said a few things that are factually correct but was told that I violated community standards. Standards ? You mean selling my data to corporations ? you mean that kind of standard ? How can a moronic organisation dictate standards to people.

I called Turks Mongols because that’s what they are. They invaded my country and stole my capital. Constantinople is not theirs . It belongs to the Byzantine empire who’s official land is Mount Athos and still exists to this day with it’s own flag , you even need a pasport to visit it. I was called a gypsy by a Turk. But this is ok according to facebook but I am sanctioned because I am speaking the truth. Turks are mongols and they’re gypsies . Greece was an empire way before there were any Turks in the area.

I also called Italians scumbags , historically , not today , you must understand me. For what ? For invading Greece during world war 2. And again for speaking the truth , I was banned for two days. We need to get off this network now. Facebook is a liberal leftist globalist organisation. Run by questionable people. Questionable people don’t get to play Lord over me. You don’t get to black list me , I get to black list you. Italy of today is at peace with Greece and we value Italians , they’re great people . But Mussolini wasn’t a great person. He was an idiot. Along with Adolf Hitler.

I have included this video just to help you think a bit. In Christ we are all one , but facts are facts and I won’t be taught manners by a glutenous money making violence creating leftist scumbag organisation.

Major upgrade to nikipress servers

I’ve updated the nikipress servers. Just making the network able to handle the next 10 years of updates and upgrades as linux has reached the end of it’s current 14.04 upgrade and support abilities. Can’t express myself.. I feel exhausted. Here is a snapshot of how the upgrades in the themes look. I’ve changed the current wordpress multisite configuration to single site subdomain setups.

So here’s to another 10 years.

I’ve been contacted through the site by a muslim woman who wants to know more about Jesus. So this site definitely does reach the lost.

Enjoy the rest of your week.

This guy is really funny

None the less. He makes a compelling argument. I think it depends on what you’re going to use the camera for. If it’s to capture news , I don’t think you need a full frame sensor. If you want to do portraits with bokeh then buy a full frame body otherwise don’t worry about it. I think it’s a pitty that the camera companies don’t make lenses for cropped sensor bodies. They want people to buy the bulky camera’s for portrait work which cost more.

Breakthrough !

You know .. the older you get ..the less time you have for frustration. I have been banging my head against the wall trying to figure out why my website doesn’t render properly on cell phones.  I have been clearing the cache for months now . Cache is something that stores some information of your website on someone’s device so that it will load faster next time they come to see it. I kept clearing the cache and then it would work a few times and then out of the blue it would go back to mobile theme. I was losing my marbles ! 

I just couldn’t figure it out. I struggled for months. Today I tried to add a friend of mine to the menu and the menu wouldn’t work . I had just had enough and so I removed the WT3Cache , a plugin of sorts , and installed WP SUPERCACHE plugin instead and vuala ! It works perfectly now ! I can change the menus of each site and I can see each site fully rendered without it looking all compact for cell phones and missing half the pictures. I feel like this is a milestone. Everything just runs smoother and it all looks so professional. I am happy again with my little old project website. It’s going to be a great place for photography , art and testimonies. All upbeat.. it’s coming together slowly and I am pleased.

SpaceX

I am just in awe of what Elon Musk has managed to do. The safe return of the booster rockets to earth is such an inspiration for people who love to make things happen. Well done Elon !

 

Mik and Druk

Trying to decide on a camera that doesn’t weigh a ton , has cool features and doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. I bought a nikon aw100 but didn’t really enjoy it. I didn’t like the lens flare that I got and it doesn’t focus fast enough for me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgOT5C99v48 is just one video I’ve been looking at to try to come to a conclusion about which way to go regarding my photography. I don’t know which way is best because I am not fond of spending money on fashionable trends.

I need a camera I can take with me that doesn’t look like a professional camera but still does a decent job when it takes photos. I’d like to be able to upload them to the website through my phone or computer. You know.. something like what I used to have when I was in high school. A good fun camera that you can just aim and shoot and know the photo will come out. I don’t like delays when it comes to mirorless camera’s .

The fujifilm range seems to have a camera that can do the job but I am not sure if I want to spend that much. Come on camera people , surely you’ve got a camera like we used to have , only digital that doesn’t cost the price of a second hand car!

This is what I am looking at . And it costs R16,050.00 . It’s the fujifilm x100F Now why can’t this toy cost 3500 rand ?

Featuring an evolution in its core feature-set, the black FujiFilm X100F Silver Digital Camera from Fujifilm incorporates a series of advanced imaging capabilities while still retaining its trademark design and intuitive handling assets. Most notably, the FujiFilm X100F Silver features a 24.3MP APS-C X-Trans CMOS III sensor and X-Processor Pro image processor to realize rich, high-resolution stills and fluent performance with expandable sensitivity to ISO 51200. A built-in Fujinon 23mm f/2 lens provides a general wide-angle 35mm equivalent focal length, and its optical design utilizes aspherical glass to produce sharp imagery while a Super EBC coating resists flare and ghosting. Benefiting working in a variety of shooting situations, a heightened hybrid autofocus system now utilizes 91 total points, including 49 phase-detection points, for quick, accurate focusing.

Complementing the imaging specs is a range of physical attributes that are the hallmark of the X100-series. The Advanced Hybrid Viewfinder, which meshes both optical and electronic viewing means in a switchable manner, has been updated with adjustable magnification for the electronic rangefinder function for more precise manual focus control. Additionally, the body also sports a physical ISO dial, which is incorporated within the shutter speed dial, and the exposure compensation dial can now be set to a C position for an increased +/- 5 stop range of adjustment. Additionally, the rear of the FujiFilm X100F Silver camera sees the inclusion of a focus lever for faster focus point selection, and the majority of the physical controls, buttons, and dials have been moved to the right-hand side for easier one-handed use.

FEATURES

24.3MP APS-C X-Trans CMOS III Sensor and X-Processor Pro

Utilizing Fujifilm’s unique, randomized pixel array, the 24.3MP APS-C X-Trans CMOS III sensor affords a high degree of image quality and sharpness due to the omission of an optical low-pass filter. Versus conventional pixel patterns, the X-Trans design more closely mimics the organic nature of film in order to produce nuanced colors and smooth tonal transitions, while also reducing moiré and aliasing. Additionally, the sensor is paired with the X-Processor Pro image processor to yield smooth, low-noise results, an extended sensitivity range of ISO 100-51200, and quick performance speeds throughout the camera system, including an 8 fps continuous shooting rate, Full HD 1080p video recording at up to 60 fps, an AF speed of 0.08 seconds, 0.2 second shooting interval, 0.5 second startup time, and a 0.01 second shutter release lag.

Fujinon 23mm f/2 Lens

The built-in 23mm f/2 fixed focal length lens gives a 35mm equivalent focal length, making it a great single prime lens length for everyday shooting. This fast wide-angle lens is purposefully designed as non-interchangeable and non-collapsible in order to garner the highest optical quality possible. The lens also uses one aspherical element to reduce spherical aberrations for improved sharpness, and a Super EBC coating has been applied to suppress lens flare and ghosting for greater contrast and color fidelity.

Advanced Hybrid Viewfinder

Both optical and electronic viewing means are incorporated into the unique Advanced Hybrid Viewfinder, which provides both the simplicity of an OVF with the technological advancements of an EVF. Switching between both viewing methods is done with the dedicated OVF/EVF switching lever, enabling quick transitioning between both modes. The OVF has its benefits in providing a clear, unadulterated view of the scene you’re photographing and reduces the shutter lag time to a minimum. For fine-tuning of focus, exposure, white balance, and other camera settings, the EVF gives you the ability to monitor all of the applied settings prior to making the exposure.

An enhanced optical viewfinder now incorporates an electronic rangefinder mode, harking to traditional mechanical rangefinder cameras of which this camera gains its appearance from, and permits refined and comparative manual focusing methods. The magnification of the electronic rangefinder can be adjusted to 2.5x or 6x for improved precision, and real-time parallax correction also enables more accurate framing and focusing in manual focus mode.

In contrast, the high-resolution 2.36m-dot EVF provides you with 100% frame coverage along with the ability to utilize electronic focusing aids for precise manual focus control. By using the phase-detection pixels located on the imaging sensor, Digital Split Image is able to assist in acquiring precise focus by showing comparative in and out of focus areas of the image. Also contributing to manual focus accuracy, focus peaking has been integrated and enables a more objective system of focusing by way of highlighting sharp edges and lines of contrast in a clear manner.

When working with the EVF, you can also utilize Shooting Effect Reflection settings in order to preview and utilize selected camera effects, such as Film Simulation modes. When this setting is turned off, the image will revert to a natural view, void of any exposure or camera settings applied, to better suit working in darker conditions and to greatly reduce any display lag.

Body Design

  • Rear 3.0″ 1.04m-dot LCD monitor for image playback and review, menu navigation, and for live view shooting.
  • A physical ISO dial has been incorporated within the shutter speed dial to allow for intuitive, direct switching of sensitivity settings.
  • Focus lever has been added to lens to improve manual focus adjustment.
  • Rear focus lever is available for intuitive selecting and switching of AF points.
  • The physical exposure compensation dial now features a C position to permit an expanded +/- 5 EV range when working with the control dials.
  • The majority of the camera’s control buttons and dials have been placed on the right-hand side of the body to enable easier one-handed use.

91-Point Autofocus System

Utilizing both contrast- and phase-detection methods, the hybrid autofocus system employs 91 total points, which can be divided into 325 total areas for a high degree of focusing accuracy in a variety of lighting conditions. Approximately 40% of the frame is covered by 49 phase-detection points in order to provide fast AF performance to suit working with moving subjects.

When working with autofocus, you can choose either single-shot AF-S mode or continuous AF-C mode, and each can be used in conjunction with Single Point AF, Zone AF, or Wide/Tracking AF settings.

Film Simulation Modes

Taking advantage of Fujifilm’s vast history in traditional film-based photography, the “FujiFilm X100F” integrates several Film Simulation modes to mimic the look and feel of some Fujifilm’s classic film types. A refined Classic Chrome mode is designed to deliver muted tones and a deep color reproduction, similar to that of a dated slide film. Pulling from their more contemporary line of transparency films, Provia offers natural-looking tones for everyday shooting, Velvia produces a more dramatic and rich tonality with deeper color saturation, and Astia gives less contrast for a softer depiction of skin tones. Mimicking their negative films, Pro Neg. Std. gives smooth image tones that are suitable for accurate color renditions, while Pro Neg. Hi produces a more dramatic feel with the ability to draw color out of a variety of lighting conditions. In addition to the colorful benefits of these Film Simulation modes, there are also monochrome modes that simulate the look of traditional yellow, green, and red black and white contrast filters, as well as an Acros mode that can also be paired with colored filter effects. A sepia mode is also available for producing an inherently nostalgic look.
