Welcome to Episode 234… another total darkness episode. They're not even the
keys to the Acura. I don't know what I'm doing. Let's get going!
In this episode I want to explore an idea of lifetime learning, of continuing
to learn throughout your entire life. To… to… consider learning to be something
that ends when you graduate college or graduate high school… That's just wrong.
That that's going to ultimately lead to stagnation. It's going to ultimately lead
to being stuck in in a single place, and and I would argue that the healthiest
happiest people are the people who are lifetime learners, who follow their
curiosity from one learning experience to another throughout their life,
continuing to add to who they are and what they're able to do and things like
that. There's a lot of research that is suggesting that continuing to push
yourself into into old age and it is a way of keeping Alzheimer's from
developing that you are constantly creating new neural paths and new new
connections from old information to new information outpaces the degradation of
the neural pathways that seems to be a contributor to the Alzheimer symptoms so
lifetime learner be someone who learns and tries things and experiments so
let's see if you know these lights off and I got this headlamp thing it's all
these LEDs I know this awesome there there's your and now it's dark I've
already got the keys out of car turning off the lights
let's see if we can get in this would be the day that have extra bags
so I'm gonna shoot the tutorial video today I was gonna shoot it yesterday the
it's a Photoshop plug-in called portrait Pro I'm gonna shoot it this afternoon I
was goodbye I said I was gonna shoot it yesterday except I couldn't get the
license activated through the firewall so I had to go to my laptop home and
activate license and now I'm ready to go ready to shoot this thing alright we've
got to the door see if we can get in alright
Coffee time
I'm sure this is how all the AC and Peter and Maddy that's how they do it
I'm sure that that's how they carry all their alright we'll get this thing
started in just a second so I'm in I'm settled now I'm gonna make
coffee for me you may have noticed why am i like my coffee a certain
temperature and this fits too cold it's like and if it's too hot it's like ah so
this is kind of still in there those aren't really words you may have noticed
the disarray as I was coming in this is where I did I did the I dropped uh be
the BB this morning my eyes what in the Hat always I don't know who is that
talking about oh yeah the mess so that turned out to be B the BB filming that
that that turned out to be far more complicated in reality than in concept
the concept I thought this is easy I'm gonna roll some steel balls down a hot
wheel track first of all the BB is so small you can't really see it on the
camera at 24 frames you know for per second no BB mm couldn't see it so I
just started with the medium you know the little small ball bearing but just
getting them to all the the shotput resists so there's momentum the shotput
weighs four kilograms and the golf ball weighs about 44 grams big big difference
there so i had the chocolate had to be so perfectly balanced almost ready to
roll in order for the do the math if you're a
you know engineer or physicist or something anyway I haven't cleaned up
yet but I have students in this room today and they can move the desks back
like each each student can move one desk and done so that's be the baby I think
that is a cool concept the idea that one small act of kindness one small gesture
one small word of encouragement one small word of endorsement can begin a
domino effect that has a huge huge reaction be that thing in someone's life
say something nice to the manager say something nice to whomever be that be be
well where are we going today we're trying to be lifetime learners today
don't stop learning just just keep at it keep learning keep adding things even if
it's just learning a hobby and on and as you become older pick up a new hobby if
you're in the middle of a hobby if you're if you're making videos try
something different try moving your lights around try moving your microphone
try using a different camera inside your car while you're while you're driving
keep trying different things if you're a painter and you've been painting and in
watercolors for 20 years and you're a master at watercolors jump into a
different medium use acrylics or oils or something do something a little
different I really don't know what I'm talking about I should I should take an
art class at some point but I've seen them use those little metal thingies
like spatulas and there's a hand gesture that we will not know what that ever
we'll never know what that means I'm gonna I'm gonna do a rant now
I was gonna do a rant about something that I just learned about something I
learned about yesterday and it is so stupid but I'm afraid if I just rant
about it that the people who haven't heard about it will go home we'll the
try to it's a stupid thing someone is like stupid and then they go hey guess
what I just did and like what and then everybody else Jake followed lemmings
off the cliff lemmings jumping off the cliff into stupidity I'm not going to
tell you what it is I'm just going to tell you that I was so I was like I was
like facepalm I roll head bang that's how stupid this thing is it's like what
are you thinking and and after the first person did it why would other people do
it I can't even it's so I can't I'm just afraid to even mention what it is
because there's so many stupid people who would be like I've never heard of
that I'm gonna try it too it is just more evidence that the entire fabric of
society is on the brink of anarchy that that's all so there's there was my not
rant I'm sorry that was that was a not rant I don't know what that was but it
was random at least random at least alright be a lifetime learner be a
lifetime learner I'm gonna drink some coffee and kind of get ready get ready
for the day
I've had I've had a question - believe it or not over like how do you do your
lighting how do you do your how do you do your setup so I'm gonna take a real
quick video of my of my setup so we'll start the camera there's all kinds of
light so there's there's the camera on the the very cluttered and desk and then
I have a little desk lamp I'll turn the lights on to show you right back so I
have this desk lamp here and the desk lamp came it came in a this bag thing
that's my diffuser is the the bag that that came with with the desk lamp that
is a LED household LED bulb that is a clamp like like you would clamp on to a
shelf and that is a there's a JCPenney bag that's my diffuser it's also an LED
this one's 100 watt I don't that is I got that a little extra cable and I got
the mic the mic is just right there almost in frame sometimes it is in frame
because I'm not careful enough there there's the mic that's my that's my
setup in my classroom that is that's my photography area of where I do you know
photography club and that's my clutter area and so I put all my clutter that's
all photography junk and then that's junk mail and then boom this there it is
there it is in all its glory and then there's a shelf when I've got jumping
rocks by alright wow that that had to be so
all right I'm gonna follow up on the lighting thing just just kind of an
editorial here then this is also this will be your science lesson for for this
episode people be like I spent all this money on this big light thing I'm just
big and it's the big diffuser thing is a great idea and the really bright bulb
was a great idea that lights up that whole diffuser but in at the end of the
day photons go through the lens and strike the the sensor and where those
photons come from is not very important if they come from a seven dollar Walmart
LED bulb and shine through a piece of plastic wrap as a diffuser they are
still photons the the direction the diffuser changes the direction but it
does not change the frequency of the photon the photon is the photon is the
photon it has a energy level and that energy level is a color we perceive that
energy of the wavelength of the light it doesn't matter where it comes from if it
comes from the farthest star in the galaxy and it's still a photon it still
is traveling at the speed of light it still has a set energy level so the
point is that seven dollar bulb that I bought at Walgreens creates the same
energy as the 700 dollar lighting kit that someone may buy for their studio
now what is the advantage of the 700 are like he has remote controls and being
able to vary the brightness of the ball and having the mechanism of holding the
diffuser in place and the bigger the diffuser and the the more that the
softer the light becomes and the angles of the light all kind of becomes it
becomes like a parallel wave rather than a radial way there's a lot of reasons to
have really expensive lighting gear but at the end of the day photons go through
that lens and if they come from a seven dollar bulb
they're still photons you can't get it back on the desk do you have to spend a
lot of money to have a good light no just need to understand light that's why
we take science classes that's why we take physics this was a lot longer than
I thought it was going to be it's a good lesson one more quick thought on the
photons it doesn't matter where they come from but it does matter what color
temperature they are if you're if you know if you're in the video you know
we've got color temperature and that is basically a measure of the energy of the
photon and what we want is things that are natural daylight and LEDs come in
daylight color the or those sometimes we'll say 5,000 K or 5400 K so something
in that range if you're if you're buying bulbs the ones I bought from Walgreens
that said daylight bulb color temperature you're looking for is like
fifty five fifty four fifty to five thousand something something along there
to give you a nice daylight color there now now it doesn't matter if you get
fifty if you get something if you get a daylight color ball but doesn't matter
how much the bulb it's still a photon the wavelength is the same and in the
lens and on the sensor creates a pixel that's how it works
so $7.00 bulb
that's lamb it's flexible bends I spent way too long on this
I saw an interesting thing happened today this guy some person has acquired
my picture and has created an imposter Facebook account
my my actual facebook address is bill dot Snodgrass one not 756 756 not me I
reported this obvious imposter account to Facebook so not me emails my picture
anyway reminds me of the Instagram the Joe
Rossi incident which occurred while back on Instagram all right
lifetime learner you you've got a you got to keep learning things and let's
let your mind continue to expand let your mind continue to grow don't don't
just settle for what you already know or you'll be stagnant you won't you won't
grow you won't change and and with without change you know that's kind of a
scary prospect you're always doing things the way that you always used to
do things
and I could go into a big long technology and if you tried to still
make you know the old ways and blot all that stuff I will spare you that I hope
you enjoyed my long science lesson on light with photons and photon energy
hopefully if you're into photography or videography that would be something that
would be interesting to you so then once you understand how why it works then you
can use it to your advantage that should probably be enough for this episode be a
lifetime learner keep learning things keep trying things keep doing things
just don't don't give up and don't settle for the way things always have
been thank you for watching hope you enjoy this episode do all that stuff
with the likes and the clicks and all that things they'll love your comments I
love to interact with you down in the comments section that is all I have for
this one lunch time is almost over I got about five minutes and so I'll see you
tomorrow
you
