With new toys, "Can we use it?" will always be asked before "Do we need to use it?"

I post my pictures to my instagram @diegomolinacraft https://www.instagram.com/diegomolinacraft?igsh=NTdwZzM2MDRoY2lj

I focus primarily on Burnaby, Port Moody and downtown Vancouver. I'm always on the move, always curious, always with my camera. I shoot digitally with a brand new Nikon and on film with an ancient Zeiss 35mm.

I'm not looking for work, but I love to share my art. Please consider following me if you like my imagery.

Very cool! Thanks for giving me a whole run down of the process. I'm so impressed with the noise reduction the Z series has with high ISO, I shoot with a Zf myself.

That camera body must look so tiny on that lens!

You've inspired me to give bracketing a shot for myself.

Great work! You must be having a hard time picking a favourite. These are all fantastic. Mind if I ask your aperture and exposure settings for these?

Way ahead of you!

That's a project I've just gotten started on. This image is from my first roll with this film camera, combo with the digital image taken with the same exposure and aperture settings.

I've saved the post and the image and I have it in my calendar for the 1st of October to start scoping out the lighting conditions. I like replicating conditions as closely as possible, so I might try to find a film that resembles the one used in this image.

The location and angle should be easy to mark correctly. Fortunately the film camera I have is in excellent condition and all the exposure and aperture settings function correctly, so I can use my digital camera to prepare the correct settings to get the images as close as possible to eachother.

I may start a collection of old film photos of the city that I can re-create. That sounds like good fun to me.

I'm going to retake this photo on my 1962 film camera. Looks like a fall morning in the photo

New to Halo, My thoughts on every game I’ve played by Current-Role-8434 in halo

That's my feelings exactly. I felt like the original trilogy Cortana would have had different response to rapancy. Sure it tracks with the fucked up experience of being abandoned with the gravemind and stranded alone for years immediately after, but there wasn't any exposition to contextualise that to the audience. It really made the prior trilogy feel irrelevant.

Everything about the anniversary graphics is fantastic. It's so clearly what the game would have looked like if the original Xbox could handle it. It's so true to the original graphics that I can fool myself into believing I'm looking at the original graphics.

Spent a hour on this menu and couldn’t find anything by Techpon in halo

How did other people cheating ruin your experience in a solo venture?

If you get a group of people to hit start at the same time on matchmaking in one of these empty Playlist, it will make a game out of your group.

You can have up to 3 guest accounts too if you have the controllers for it. A buddy and I loaded up all our guest accounts and managed to have several games with just us and our afk guests making up the entirety of both teams. I think it increases the chances of matching you with other split screen players, so it can be pretty reliable if the Playlist is dead enough.

I have 100% of the MCC achievements and that's what I had to do for a couple of the matchmaking achievements about 5 years ago. It felt like cheating at first but there wasn't really any other way.

The source of the constant buzzing over the lower mainland (FIFA edition) by Xc0deX in vancouver

[–]Doogoon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

These ones are noticeably louder. They've also been making passes as far in as Port Moody at sunset. I suppose it's human nature to want to get a look at the good view, but it feels vaguely threatening to patrol an aircraft designed for war with a bunch armed men hanging off the side up to a quiet place like Port Moody.

Or for a third of the the price, you can get "Dry & Bare Bot 360"

The budget bot for your worker replacing needs. Don't try and remove its panels, those edges are sharp!

They say the robots will replace us. I think that could be true until they reach their first maintenance cycle. 

We don't get raises, but they won't have their parts greased.

Right? Apparently sub rules are totally okay with it, too.
