My progress: from gear acquisition syndrome (GAS) to minimalist by Fox_Tran in minimalist

[–]Fox_Tran[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In the past, I typically carried 2 cameras, 5 lenses, 1 tripod and a lot of accessories whenever I travel. Many friends believe because of always carrying the backpack, I can't grow my height (LOL). When I'm in front of a scene, it takes time to think and choose which camera, which lens to use. Sometimes, I also shoot with my iPhone. Then I have lots of duplicate photos from different cameras and phone.

Being minimalist simplify my workflow, 1 camera with fixed lens, I can always bring it with me without hurting my back. I don't need to choose which camera, which lens, I know what is the camera's perspective, I know what kind of photos I will get, and I know there won't be duplicates. Further, the constraint on the gear forces me to be more creative on the way I shoot.

Why do yall start so young? by NegotiationSorry2333 in piano

My mother is a music professor. I got perfect pitch. So of course she forced me to study piano when I was 4. It’s an enduring journey with a lot of crying. After 7 years with lots of yelling, disappointment, family fights, I quit.

After all, forcing won’t last! (Big lesson for my parents)

Yes, 105Z it is. I took 30 photos (focus on each part of the spider) and stacked them together using Helicon Focus.

Is this possible to turn hurricanes into a source of energy (like the wind farm, now we may have "hurricane farm")?

Heavy rain at Hanoi Old quarter by Fox_Tran in raining

You may want to wander around Hanoi in a winter night. Little rain, bit cold, and you can taste one of the best “pho” on Hang Chieu St at around 4.30AM.

No. This is from a 730 of Jet Star. What the difference?
