I'm following along.  It's John's moon pics that brought me here in the first place.  Too many coincidences about our moon, it's rotation and the way it always faces the Earth, the perfect positioning to match the disc of the sun during an eclipse.  All this talk of going to Mars does not make perfect sense to me.  The moon is THE logical place to launch further missions into our solar system.  We should have had a base there DECADES ago.  Oh yeah....maybe we did!

Oh I hope not...I've posted a few videos and gotten a few responses but not too much lately. I guess Sgt. Rocknroll video escapades have run their course..

I confess that I haven't looked at your videos.

I have nothing against you or your work, just against low resolution videos of high resolution photos and the fact that when looking at a photo I don't have to wait for the interesting parts.

ArMaP, you know I respect your knowledge and expertise and always look forward to your posts, but one thing puzzles me.
If you haven't seen any of my videos, how do you know what they look like? I usually don't play a bunch of space themed music, I keep the commentary brief and I only go after the things I think I see. Just asking..

Hey Sgt.,
So, got any new stuff you are currently working on my friend? Last Video was very telling, I was and had noticed almost everything you had brought to the table with all the structures that are visible. I am still very curious about the "Vapor" you had mentioned with in your finds as well. I could see them with the naked eye, but when you enhanced them with your software, a lot more questions...lol
The stacked Sphere's, the 90* angular Buildings/Structures, the over all expansion of the area with very fine details leave ones thoughts on the crazy train of discussion, for sure.
There is much too do with what we see, just wish we could get the money shot of a craft or a 'Being' loading and unloading!! LOL
Your work is excellent Sgt. I am and always have been impressed by what you lay out for us too view, keep up the good work! And by the way, the statement I made earlier "Guess this thread is done?" was suppose to have an LOL on the end of it, don't think this topic for discussion will ever be completely disclosed!! Sorry guy's and Gals, my bad, I knew there would be more, just trying to be funny..

Thanks 1Wwatcher for the comments.. You know I was thinking about that same thing, instead of glossing over an entire photo, but rather concentrate on one specific area and do as much as I can with it...Good call....I guess I got kinda of lazy with the outlines and not the detailed model I want too do....Thanks again...

The only thing I know is that they are about photos with a much higher resolution and image quality, right?

I usually don't play a bunch of space themed music, I keep the commentary brief and I only go after the things I think I see. Just asking..

I haven't said a thing about music, and I suppose everyone goes after the things they think they see.

My problem with videos about photos (besides the reduction in resolution and image quality) is that they take much more time to show something than a simple image does. If someone decides to show some detail on a photo for 15 seconds, that may be 10 seconds too much, but we have to wait those 15 seconds to see what comes next, so at the end of a 5 minutes video we may have used more 3.5 minutes than needed. And the opposite also happens, as the person that made the video may have thought that something didn't need more that those 15 seconds but when we look at it we have a different interpretation and we may need more than that. Sure, we can pause the video, but if we had access to the image it would be easier, and it would allow us to zoom in or out, rotate it, etc.

In conclusion, what I don't like in videos of static material is that we are bound by the creator's decisions about what is interesting, what is not, and how we should spend our time looking at it.

I like freedom to do what I want, at the speed I want, with the best quality possible.

As I have said in other occasions, that doesn't mean that videos are useless, as they still have their usefulness (when there is the need to show a sequence of images or when the source was something that changed with time, like a movie).

PS: sorry if it sounds like I putting your work down, I'm not, I just think that's the wrong medium to show that kind of information.

[Sgt.Rocknroll]

I got your point and I didn't think you were putting me down..I just didn't understand how you can base your judgement on something you haven't seen. I also understand about have a static photo to look at and at your leisure explore other items....
As always, I respect your opinion and value your expertise in photos very much.....

Peace..

A suggestion for your next videos, use a screen recording program like CamStudio (it's open source) to capture your work in the computer, that way one source of image degradation (the camera) is removed.

[Sgt.Rocknroll]

I will, remember I asked you and you gave me some great tips on what software to use?

[ArMaP]

I remember, but I didn't remember if I had included CamStudio.

And now everybody knows about it.

Damn, your  secrets out...

I also want to see this thread continue.Moon pictures and John are what got me into all this to begin with.

I joined a forum (OM) so I could  see John's  pictures of the moon. I was a lurker at ATS ,read Johns thread there and Sleepers. Then I found Johns pictures @ OM and I was hooked .  I even found something that John didn't see on one of his pictures after staring at it through a magnifying glass. So I agree with Armap that a nice clear hi-res picture is great to look at. I can stare at them for a long time .

After a while things just seem to jump out at me  I find it fascinating Even if there is not some great find I still like to stare at them and imagine being there .

@SgtRock n roll : have you received AllanSturm's e-book ? Did
you ask Zorgon for it ? I'm sure you could do a very wonderfull work on it ! as usual .

Armap, ok with your opinion about videos, I think you are right, but I LOVE
these videos,Sgt's particularly it's very good for dreaming  !
So please Sarge, keep it up  that's so good !

Thanks for the kind remarks Mon Ami.
My expertise is Cad and I tried to use that to the best of my abilities to contribute to the conversion and I will continue to do so.
As far as Allan Sturms e-book, I have it, thanks to Zorgon and there was a list posted of the photos used by Mr. Sturm. I just happen to have that open at the moment and comparing his photos and 'items' to what I can find. I'll keep in touch as soon as I figure out some new software 'someone' turned me on to..

Peace
Rock...
