Can someone please stop tech bros and business board groups from trying to make Second Life cool

Throwing thousands of darts and then saying that it's skill that gets the bullseye instead of ludicrous amounts of repetition and burning down hundreds of trees while doing it

28 and god no. My boss in his 30s does.
I say "see ya" when I leave the office and "buh-bye, bye" when hanging up the phone. The latter is picked up from my dad. No idea where he got it.

What do you have loaded?

You don't even need to filter the flash if you have a 720nm on your lens, but if you're going to do wildlife photography in this manner I think it's much less cruel.

It's just a Nikon SB-24 with a plate of 850nm pass glass, uh, attached to the front.
Xenon flashes put out a continuous spectrum from 200nm UV to beyond 1100nm IR, with 50% of the output being IR, so any old flashgun will do.
I plan to do some bat photography but without blinding the little guys

I didn't know about the variable speed aspect of it...
That's really cool.

This is not in fact the ocean so no fear of getting wet
But it looks very similar!
I think I'm going to put long-exposure sea photography on my list for this year after this chat :)

I hope they make a finer grained and better colout film, absolutely, but I also hope that they keep phoenix!
I adore it for flash photography

I just won't pay £20 for 1 roll of 500T when the actual price is closer to £4 per roll. Respoolers sell it for £6.50 and they don't lose money, so it's just greed from Cinestill.
Here's hoping ilford's C41 efforts pan out soon.

Even when I plan not to bring any, film cameras just sort of sneak in

It's all really dumb and I love it (except for when the expired stuff gets stuck to the paper and gums up in the camera)

I'm babbling now but I have a photo album from my mum from and had to do a double take because it's *my* writing
Some points on this:
- capitals started for GCSEs aged 14
- i was taught cursive until I was 10
- my mum passed when I was 9
- she never taught me to write, my dad did

I mean these are just words the writing is fine, no?
I write in block capitals for reasons unknown so if I write something that some historian is trying to decipher in 400 years time I'd like to think they'd like me for that.
My job is also quite boring so I have thoughts like that a lot!

They have a whopping 50mm f/6.3 "Colour Optical Lens" on them.
Would make a good shitty camera challenge candidate to be honest
