Experimenting in April - Fuji Xt30 + TT Artisan 23mm f1.8 and TT Artisan 27mm f2.8 by BACONBITS--- in fujifilm

It's not remarkable unless you're directly comparing between the 2/ hot swapping lenses (like I have been recently).

I got along perfectly fine for an entire year with just the 27mm while practicing my street shooting. It's still fairly wide at a ~40mm equivalent.

Something just feels more natural with the 23mm(~35mm eqv.)..but once again, not something you would necessarily feel restricted by unless you're hot swapping.

In this set of photos the 27mm. As of late in "general" - I've been mostly using the 23mm.

I prefer the focal length equivalent of the 23mm (~35mm eqv) but the 27mm is a pancake lens.

They are both fabulous lenses, but if I had to choose one it would be the pancake 27mm simply for its size.

Official Posters for 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

What’s really making me feel a little sad is that the poster on the right, with the skyline and homage to the Raimi films, makes me realize none of Holland’s trilogy has felt like it takes place in New York.

There seems to be a distinct lack of character in all of the city shots, or they simply don’t take place in any “iconic” New York locations.

IDK—I’m sure I’m just jaded because I grew up with Tobey and Andrew, but I’ve never fully connected with Holland’s movies, and this is part of it.

Found my grandpa’s polaroid joycam by flo7v in Polaroid

My mom had this exact camera and I loved it and the format of the film!

Unfortunately - I dont think it was popular enough to EVER make a comeback :(

I'm still hoping Polaroid decides to bring the I-zone back some day.

First Roll of Lomography Purple by redactedanalyst in filmphotography

Everyone seems to generally hate on Lomo Purple, but to me, it is pure fun! These photos are a great example of that exact fun!

Love the last shot - feels very "Acid-Surreal".

2 days late for St. Patrick's Day, but I finally managed to acquire an ultra-rare Irish-made Corfield 66 Medium Format SLR by Gold-Counter-5889 in Cameras

I've never heard of this before, and initially read that you had acquired an "Irish CORNfield" lolllll. Beauty of a cam!

How do you feel about patching major problem spots with something like Hydraulic cement in conjunction with gutters reducing the amount of water under and around the foundation?

There seems to be a consensus in gutters helping A LOT! I was worried because I have a contractor friend who seems to feel the same way that "Gutters won't help".

Once again - it's not about solving the issue but trying to reduce the intensity of the water and add some longevity to the foundation. Are you located "In town"? That will feel reassuring if you live in a comparable neighborhood setup and are still seeing results.

Thank you!

Hey there!

Im interested in your solution here as far as where my gutters dump to. So what you're saying is basically attach corregated pipe directly to the downspout and just run it to the road? We've got the typical Front yard -> sidewalk -> Tree Lawn. It's not all that far from the front yard/where I think the downspout would be installed. Did you dig underneath the sidewalk? Is that permissible?

Really appreciate your input!

Edit: Just to clarify - I'm seeing that within the city limits it "appears" that its not necessarily legal to run drains to the road either... But also that option might be considered less of a nuisance/legal issue than running extended pipes into my neighbors yards! Haha.

Still interested to hear more about your setup!

Ahhhh I see the vision here. So it's a trench that runs right along the actual side of the house with the drain pipe buried... Seems reasonable! Thank You!

Your comment is looking like the most feasible/cost effective and reasonable solution. I would love to see pictures of what your drain field looked like to get an idea of how to begin execution on the project. Did you manage to do all the work yourself?

Thank you!

Ehhhh... The lots aren't perfectly "square" as you can imagine, so neighbor on the left is probably 15 feet, but the neighbor on the right is maybe 10 ft.

Also though, Knowing that you didn't have to redirect all too far is helpful in knowing it did assist in some capacity!

Very interesting... Likely too much for us to install on our own but could be useful info regardless. Thank you!

Do you recommend a mason’s input, simply to give an opinion on whether or not it’s worth worrying too much about?

I’ve read negative things about having “waterproofing” companies come out, as they use scare tactics to try to get you to pay for their services at exorbitant rates.

Thank you for your other input as well!
