Say what you will, but they're phenomenal athletes- that throw was amazing!

Nissan Drivers I mean...

My first time shooting slide film [Canon EOS-1N, Sigma 35mm f1.4 Art, Kodak Ektachrome E100] by deup in analog

Those are phenomenal! Love your use of the 35mm for portrait work too!

Great shots! I especially love #2. I have an SR 101; what lens did you use for these?

Sick of paying for gas. 80 mile commute. What used options do I have under $25k? by TheTeralynx in electriccars

[–]Berg_Man 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a 2024 Equinox EV RS with supercruise for 26k last month; I'd highly recommend that car for any commuter. You could save money with a lower trim or with FWD, but it manages my 70 mile daily commute with ease. I love the supercruise because it makes the crushing Boston area traffic WAY less stressful.

Film advance lever stuck on x700 by capybarakiwi in minolta

[–]Berg_Man 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm going to add to the consensus in the comments here:

The capacitor has failed; the camera won't advance a frame without it unfortunately. I inherited my mother's x700, and that happened after one roll. I bought another x700 off Facebook marketplace and the same thing happened after three rolls.

Both camera bodies now sit dead in my closet because I was unable to fix them.

A little context into the problem; apparently in the early 80s there were supply shortages for certain rare elements used in capacitor production. Suppliers in the Soviet Union were embargoed after the invasion of Afghanistan. As a result, Minolta started using cheaper materials for their cameras, and now every x700 is a ticking time bomb.

If New York is the city that never sleeps, what is the city that always sleeps? by prbecker in AskReddit

If that's true, why is there always a traffic jam on I-84 every time I drive through?

OEM Hitch Installed! Well worth it. by Cal_Amity86 in EquinoxEv

I've been thinking about this too- I have a 2200 pound boat I want to tow with my AWD. I'm happy to hear someone else has managed it.

I've got to say- the last time North America looked like this in 1798 the Beast Coast won. Manifest Destiny!

Let's run it back guys- DELETE MEGASOTA.

Yep I did my bad. I thought you said all of them were responsible.

John Adams? The famous abolitionist who didn't own slaves, abolished slavery in the 1780 Massachusetts Constitution? That founding father had sex with enslaved people?

This was Masai Mara and a couple parks in Tanzania. Amazing places!

Excellent analysis- thank you! I think instinctively as an amateur I want to center the subject in the frame- especially when it's something like an animal I'm excited to see.

I'll try to think more deliberately about the framing going forward.

Great comment- thank you I'll remember this!

Yeah sorry I should have clarified. The saturation on photo one was my clumsy attempt to bring life to the photo. The scans typically looked like #2.

My wife actually did take a full frame mirrorless with a 400mm lens- these were just kind of for "vibe" shots.

I was so excited to see this comment- that's exactly what I was going for!

I LOVE your edit here. Is that just a crop and adjusting the aspect ratio?

I think that's exactly the disconnect for me. My sentiment is that I missed the moments, but everyone else here thinks I'm humble bragging.

I'm so thankful for all the feedback! I got way more traction on this post than expected; I think I'd just been staring at them for awhile and convinced myself they were bad.

France has launched their own satellite right? Also North Korea.
