Potato goulash

To continue the late series of totally off topic postings and to waste some bandwidth with big images ive recorded what ive cooked today (no still with my canon ixus 30 as ive got no new cam yet …)

First an onion and the mandatory safety goggles one needs to work with onions

After peeling and washing the thing:

After choping it up in cubes and realizing that its a little more than i expected: (i wish i had an image stabilizer or would have checked the image or have taken more as both i took turned out blured)

A choped up halfed and fried onon:

1kg potatos, well almost:

Iam hungry, better more than too little :)

Peeled, washed and choped up potatos in the cauldron with the onions …

Added water, putting it on the fire. And now as i see it cursing that i thought the ixus 30 could take images at iso100 a meter under a 100w light bulb, besides that why is the damn thing not displying the shutter speed, if i knew it was 1/8 sec i would have done something about it …

Sausage (extrawurst in that case), lord ixus though focused on the wrong end and yes i did try to focus on the other side, dont ask why i didnt check half of the images right after taking them …

Sausage cut up in small cubes and added to the pot, again 1/8 shutter and all blurry. And normally one should fry the sausage unless one is afraid of nitrosamines …

Adding hot paprika made in hungary, majoran and a soup cube, lord ixus now choose 1/6sec and even though i took 4 images of this they are all blurred argh, next ill cook the ixus or maybe i should cook myself for being to stupid to not realize that iso100 wont work for this

mixed …

closed and the image is quite ok even though its 1/6sec handheld

15min later …

Finished :)

PP filter comparission update

Ive added some -vf uspp (PP by (mis)using the snow codec) based images to pp vs. spp filters, the reason for uspp=6 instead of higher values is that higher ones wake the OOM-killer :-) the reason for the lack of pp=ac/ha/va based samples is that they look identical to the pp=de/hb/vb

pp vs. spp filters

Comparing the pp and spp filters from MPlayer/ffmpeg with the standard lena 256×256 image, the unfiltered one is a simple 10% quality jpeg saved by gimp

Original unfiltered
pp=hb/vb/dr/fq=8 pp=hb/vb/dr/fq=16 pp=hb/vb/dr/fq=32
spp=6:8 spp=6:16 spp=6:32
uspp=6:8 uspp=6:16 uspp=6:32
