1) I know it was in the heat of the moment, but did nobody think to call the phone? Hell, that’s how I find mine half the time even if the only suspected foul play is me being absent minded.

You’re not wrong. The older ones are “better” in terms of it simplicity and being clear about what you’re supposed to be doing. My kids were in this article’s age group when the first Star Wars games came out on PS2. Some of the newer ones borer on chaos in my experience — too much going on. YMMV.
Like most techniques, the best thing to do is just try it out. Since most phone cameras save both an HDR and non-HDR image, there’s no cost and no risk. Once you get a feel for when it works, you can learn to do exposure bracketing manually to have more control over the outcome — if you want. Or don’t.
Never ever ever ever ever — if you’re a self-respecting DSLR user.
This is one of those that depends on whether or not this is my primary vehicle, and whether I can afford to lose $2400.
You’re absolutely correct. But it doesn’t keep people from thinking/acting like it’s true.
I believe you. It’s a good point, and I know that happens some times. It’s definitely true in a number of places I have lived. But I also know the sidewalks in the area I live right now are wider, newer and nicer than a lot of bike paths.
Had a group of ladies the other morning walking four across in the street in the same direction traffic. At 7AM. By a school. At a busy intersection. I was making a left turn onto the street, so my focus was on signals and traffic. I almost didn’t see them.
Yes to all the advice in the article.
They’ll never learn. I’ve used Macs off and on since the original in the 80s. I’ve used Performas, Intel clones, iMacs, iBooks, Powerbooks, ...
I was Iowa small town born and raised, and I’ve lived many years in large cities, including but not limited to Chicago (city proper, not suburbs).
That’s how I read it, too. I don’t know Brie or know what surrounds this quote, but I don’t think this article is a good-faith reading of the quote. Meaning is contextual.
Ha! Yeah, but I’m not even sure I’d pick that up. I’d be like, “No, don’t know Sarah. Sounds nice.” And then I’d try to help locate Sarah because I’m helpful like that. My ability to be oblivious in this kind of situation is immeasurable. Cannot stress that enough. :-/
The kids hear, “Find a stopping point,” from me a lot. Lets them know I need them or it’s time to be done, but they can finish their match/game/objective or whatever.
Yes. And we talk about those parts that might be questionable. Problematic information isn’t limited to the past. My kids are and will be inundated with questionable media their whole lives, and I need to help them develop the skill of reading and watching critically. I’m not doing them any favors by pretending they…
Good article. You can get great photos on an iPhone, especially when paired with the convenience of always having it with you. I’d add two thoughts:
Thanks for the info. Good stuff. Knowing is good. Following through with help is even better, but also harder.
I was prepared to hate this game because I’m comparing it not only to the old X-Wing and TIE Fighter games, but to my rosy memory of them.
Fair point, if the debate itself was the end of it.
Agree, but it’ll never happen.
