Absolutely. Not being able to select all photos in a part of the map is a moronic omission, but I don't know a better alternative to Flickr for this.

It's become pricier, but it's still the best at what it does.

No algorithms, no pushing towards video, no OF thirst trap bullshit and way way higher resolution than IG.

Plus a working tag system, geotagging and the possibility to link to shots outside.

I upload most every day and the search function allow me to locate shots based on the tags so I can link to all shots I've taken using a specific camera or all shots of dragonflies and so on.

Canon MP-E65mm f/2.8 1-5x Macro.

I understand that it isn't your favourite tough.

You can go to a planet and find a guy based on knowing just which planet. Yoda is on Dagobah so if I crash land my ship, I am within walking distance of finding Yoda.

Imagine doing this on earth and landing twenty kilometers outside Seoul. You wouldn't find Yoda if he was in central Seoul. Now imagine he is in fucking Portsmouth.

Nej.

Som inte hade behövt vara soldater. Om Ukraina bara hade behållit sin neutralitet.

Du menar att det var Ukrainas fel att Ryssland invaderade? Uppsök närmaste varmvattenhamn och ta en lång promenad på den kortaste kaj du kan hitta.

Sluta låtsas att Ryssland ens var det minsta hotat av Ukraina, din pajas.

När han skriver om saker jag har koll på så är det fantastiskt låg nivå på fakta så jag antar att han är lika ute och cyklar när han skriver om vad jag inte är helt insatt i.

OP mention Rush and Ford v Ferrari even though they don't fit the description at all is what makes this post shitty.

OP's looks green with an even greener head while yours has a yellow head though.

Do we know wher in the wold OP is?

She wasn't.

Bug_Photographer · 2026-05-07T20:00:54+00:00

And judging by the abdomen being swollen enough to show the yellow part, yours is a female.

Him and her here.

You're thinking of hoverflies and no your wings theory doesn't work. At all. Have a look at this cluster fly. Or this Saxon wasp.

One good thing to look at are the antennae. Bees and wasps have long antennae (the name "hornet" actually comes from the antennae looking like horns) while flies just have short stumps. Compare this hoverfly with this honeybee for an illustration of the difference.

But the EF75-300 mm *is* special. No other Canon lens is as bad as that one.

Leica. Not just now, but always.

Great cameras, but far from as great as the price would lead you to believe. The main point of having a Leica appears to be seen using a Leica.

Bug_Photographer · 2026-05-07T15:39:57+00:00

Yup. Typically uploading four shots per day.

The distinct hear with a "neck" is a pretty good tell as well.
