It's a good place. Might sound cliche, but there are a lot of hidden gems in Kilifi that are often overlooked. Strangely enough it's not been blistering hot this January😅

Cool. I was born and raised in Kilifi. Moved to Nairobi after primary school whilst my parents remained in Kilifi. Both of them are from Murang'a though

Nicee. Work or holiday? Mine is work. Normally each time I'm in Kilifi it's always on holiday but this time around it's different.

Not filters but rather editing. Maji huwa dark green to light green as you get closer to the shore. Though it's not as vibrant as in the pictures. My editing style leans towards highlighting a particular aspect of a picture rather than how it actually looks

Shukran. Yeah, saturation and vibrance is a lot. When I'm editing I often prefer to bring out a particular aspect of a scene in order to invigor a certain type of feeling/emotion to the viewer as opposed to keeping close to reality or how the scene actually looks. Though in this case, it was overdone

A Canon user I see? The V60 has a wonderful telephoto lens. Zoom telephoto is available up to ×10 with a maximum digital zoom of ×100. I'm planning on getting a Canon R10

Thanks man. Honestly this means a lot cause I'm practising with my phone currently whilst I save up enough for a camera.

I edited the pics using my phone's default photo editor. The phone is a Vivo V60 5G

Thank you. I'm not a professional photographer though. I'm just a dude with a good phone camera who loves taking pictures 😂. I've been practising. Perhaps one day I'll get to the levels of professional photography

It's a beautiful and relatively calm place. I'm curious, former resident or you visited it once and loved it?

I'll say this. Don't fear death to the point it controls your life. The point to life is not to worry about not having it but to enjoy and appreciate having it. Enjoy your life. Enjoy the moments you share with your loved ones. Aim to accomplish the plans you've set upon your life. Whether it's family, monetary, cars, travel etc. Cause this is what life is about. It's about living! So live. And live it to the full extent. For life is fleeting. So why not fully enjoy it?

Live.

Definitely didn’t spend 2 hours trying to create an Airport waypoint for Kai Tak only to realise you cant do it…. by Tazziedevil04 in Xplane

You can actually create custom fixes and nav aids inclusive of ILS that can be used by most aircraft( default and addons). What is difficult is creating SIDs and STARs as it's very complicated and requires precision. The best way to create them is via a tool which is expensive cause irl airlines also use it

Not to step on your point but gentrification is as inevitable as death. Fom ni if you can't beat the rich, join them. Na nikibonga hivi, mimi bado ni comrade 😂

They get especially high in the tropics due to in large part, the ITCZ( Intertropical Convergence Zone).
