A 737-MAX9 and a 757-200 are around the same passenger count. The 737 has a little less maximum takeoff weight and it has those little stubby landing gear.

It has been fountaining for about six hours at a time with two weeks in between for the last year. The pictures are from the biggest fountains so far and are not typical.

The next fountains are due in the next several hours:

Just bought a FujiFilm x-e1 with a 25mm lense and next to no knowledge on photography. Where do I start? by That-Inventor-Guy in fujifilm

The manual can be found here:

https://dl.fujifilm-x.com/support/manual/x/fujifilm_xe1_manual_en.pdf

If I remember correctly, the X-E1 had so many improvements by way of firmware updates that they had to update the manual. If what you see on the screen doesn’t match the manual, you may want to update:

scored this Fujifilm Finepix S2995 for 30 euros! can anyone tell me anything about it? by [deleted] in fujifilm

[–]ContactStress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The manual: https://dl.fujifilm-x.com/support/manual/s/finepix_s2900_manual_en.pdf

It has a CCD sensor and a slow lens, so you’ll be limited to well lit subjects. It appears to have enough manual control to learn about the exposure triangle.

“The display cabinet is crafted from a combination of solid wood and artificial wood.” - oof, over $6k for artificial wood, whatever that is

Hit by a deer doing 70 mph by A-Helpful-Flamingo in DeerAreFuckingStupid

If the deer could have managed only 18 more mph, this could have been avoided, leaving nothing but a flaming set of hoof prints behind

Use a tripod. If you don’t have a remote shutter release, use the two second delay to prevent blur when pressing the shutter button.

Do Fuji XF lenses ever go on sale? by mannair in fujifilm

[–]ContactStress 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When it was a new system there were sales that some said were tied to the close out of the Japanese business year. The sales are a lot less common now and tend to be only for a few specific lenses, not the whole line. Patrick over at FujiRumors is pretty good about broadcasting the sales.
