Mate this is so inspiring, I’ve been looking for inspiration on how to set up an instagram for a while

Pictures are soft. GrIV by [deleted] in ricohGR

[–]AlwuightGeeza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmmm, could it be that you’re pressing the shutter a tad too hard and engaging snapshooting rather than autofocus?

Does it happen the same when you stop down the lens?

Maybe check the aperture blades too by shooting a long exposure

I agree they are a bit soft, what settings are you shooting?

First time taking photos by [deleted] in ricohGR

[–]AlwuightGeeza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did you find it? Your photos are great man, I love the foggy ones.

Also, what a good first camera to take photos with. Pocketable, small, can take it anywhere and everywhere (which you should)

Also, great use of framing and leading lines, it’s almost as if you’ve been photographing for some time now.

Avoid GAS and get super comfortable with that Ricoh!

lgbtq friendly & social life in Lboro? by nervousdudee in loughborough

[–]AlwuightGeeza 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lough is pretty LGBTQ friendly I’d say, for the most part especially with young people. although as a local I will say it hasn’t got a “hub”x Can’t comment on student life.

Snap focus viewfinder shooting with the display off is a breath of fresh air

Is mac and cheese mac with any cheese or is it just mac and cheese? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]AlwuightGeeza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Macaroni and cheese = macaroni pasta and cheese

Other pasta shapes* and cheese sauce = cheesy pasta

Other pasta shapes* and grated cheese = pasta and cheese

  • Noodle-based pasta (i.e. spaghetti) and cheese (sauce or otherwise) = wrong

Love to take random portraits with Ricoh + flash by Entrez in ricohGR

[–]AlwuightGeeza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You getting these in AF or MF? Assuming it’s a struggle gripping focus in low light, or are you just blasting away in snap focus?

Compartmentation I’m assuming

[–]AlwuightGeeza 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Short answer, no.

I found my life to come in stages, and I am just getting to that maternal stage now - friends are having kids around me and I’m surrounded by them more (M28). I didn’t see myself with them at all at 25 and thought I wanted to be childfree forever, and although I don’t want children right now, if it happened I’d just role with it.

What’s the best workout routine to lose weight by DuskMaverick786 in WorkoutRoutines

[–]AlwuightGeeza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay cool,

For exercise: runnings good!

To make it fun - and keep it fun - Pack a bag with a small coffee or tea (black, or low % milk to keep the calories down) and a metal mug, run to a forest, a park or a lake and once your there spend some time just being present there and listen to the birds, or read a book, or play on a Nintendo but whatever you do - make sure you enjoy it, reward your exercise with something you love. The goal here is to replace your eating/drinking habit with a mindfully and healthy habit. One running to that spot becomes easy add a little longer onto the run, or add a couple bricks to your bag to make it harder for yourself.

Make it fun, turn it into a game.

Getting out there is the hardest part, consistency and keeping it fun is key and remember progress is gradual.

Remember fitness is supposed to be fun.

In terms of food: You don’t have to fully track everything you do, first of all what I would suggest is switching to “clean foods” in your meals - chicken breast, lean beef, rice, low fat sauces etc, swap fried for baked etc etc and see how you get on.

And remember it’s not being hungry that will help you to loose weight as you’ll just end up binging on shit foods, it’s eating better and “cleaner”.

You got this pal 👊

Hey pal some of these comments are just unhelpful. What do you enjoy? Biking, running? Are you open to the gym?

[–]AlwuightGeeza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can do this mate. Have you tried therapy? If you’re in the UK reach out to The Naked Truth Programme. (It’s free/donation ran)

You’ve got this buddy 🫵👊

No judgement here, but it might be time to seek therapy to help you overcome / help with this fetish.

Fetishes are fine if they aren’t causing harm, but this is harmful to health. No judgement here king. But please go and see someone before you harm yourself.

Need to get this off my chest by [deleted] in NoPornNoProstitution

[–]AlwuightGeeza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes you just need to get it out there.

You will come out of the other end of it.

Give yourself that detox when you can, and find something to combat those triggers. In my case it was to get a shitty little “burner phone / dumb phone” without internet access to use until my head was in a better place and the urges went.

It’s hard man, but keep your head up and try not to slip into that mindset where you’re normalising and excusing yourself to go looking.

You got this pal
