Rembrandt’s Studio • @1MEMO 20241225


On this quay of the Rhine in the city of Leyden, Holland, Rembrandt van Rijn had his first studio from 1624. The Rijn (Rhine) river is called ‘Galgewater’ (Gallows Water) here because from 1659 to 1795, the bodies of those executed were hanging on gallows placed along the river here a little further on. That quay is the ‘Kort Galgewater’ (Short Gallows Water). Rembrandt was born opposite that studio (and opposite that windmill , just outside the frame on the left here, near the drawbridge).

More info on the gallows in post dd 20241208 .

Studio Mac Display HDR | 20220308


Studio Mac Display HDR | 20220308 | 1-memo•com | My ‘studio’ display comparison with same HDR Dolby film on the MacBook Air M1 (2020) versus the iMac Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015 . (both default colour profile , night shift off, no true tone).

YouTube screening delivers HDR to the MacBook , but no HDR to the iMac , resulting in dull display on the desktop iMac. No big display differences though comparing the original film screening with QuickTime Player at both Macs.

Film details : HDR Dolby Vision HLG compatibe film of footage recorded with Sony A7M3 camera using picture profile PP10 HLG2 BT.2020 – Youtube upload 16 Feb 2022 – title : Revisit Sony A7M3 ZV1 HDR | 20220216

Mac displays filmed here with iPhone 12 Pro Max.

Very curious how the new 2022 Mac Studio Display will perform with HDR ;)

Nobody No Longer Nobody – ID Card Propaganda 1940


Cinema propaganda newsreel (Polygoon) September 1940 on a rush for portrait photos needed for the ‘Persoonsbewijs’ , the ID card.
After the German invasion in 1940 the Dutch aged 15 and older were required to carry identity cards (called ‘persoonsbewijs’). This later led to the death of many people.
