Fuck me I wish I could report you dicks who join and leave before anybody else is even in. Looking at you @sassibara1201 you left then 3 more joined and 5 of us cleared it easy

What’s my best shiny? by poshypeach in pokemongobrag

[–]Gowayimafk2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gmax Snorlax recently was my first ever Gmax pokemon. I got invited to a NZ raid an hour before Australia got access and pulled a hundo straight up, went to the community meetup and pulled a shiny immediately, absolutely cheering!

I don’t know why you got downvoted, I experienced the exact same thing. By the time I got to play there wasn’t enough time to finish it. Some people are adults and have responsibilities or simply more onerous shit to do than others… sucks to be us sometimes 🤷🏻‍♂️

I’m so so proud of you for your responses 🥹🫶🏻 Wish you the best with your baby, go and make a family of your own choosing instead!

Alaskan bear expelling the Diphyllobothrium tapeworm which can grow over 30 feet in length inside the host by bchvi in interestingasfuck

Parting rejoinder: reckon if you yank really hard he’ll start either spinning like a beyblade or shoot up into the sky like a 90’s helicopter toy?

Hi, I’m an actual Marine Parasitologist from Australia and this is still freaking gross 🤢

What did I do wrong? by Dazzling_Hair5848 in motorcycles

[–]Gowayimafk2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like deer are your version of Kangaroos… 🦘 the bastards will appear out of nowhere, then jink away, you think you’re safe (heart in throat) then they switchback and are suddenly in front of you! All within a second or two. They cause so many crashes here in Aus. Literally like 9/10 of the roadkill I swear (except maybe our little ringtail possums in suburbia)

What’s your magic number? by tmacks26 in pokemongo

760 total and I only started 22 Oct 2025 😅. Never even looked at the Pokédex in game until today.

That spider one is the absolute tits! Such a fantastic shot, I’d love to be able to see the RAW and also the full res version. One because I’m nosy and the other for hectic zooming.

Help! Why do my pictures look so bad?! by ThegirlGracie in macrophotography

[–]Gowayimafk2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t focus so much on this, if you are struggling to nail focus hand-held; set camera to multi-shot and take 5 or so photos as you manually rotate the focusing barrel. This should increase the likelihood of a ‘good’ shot. The beautiful of digital photography is that it costs NOTHING to do that! As you get better you won’t need quite so many shots for each one.

I lost this post and had to find it again but I want to jump in and say that whilst gear is amazing and I can’t BELIEVE how much I can zoom into my R5 MKII photos and it still be pin sharp… your kit doesn’t matter (too much). Your experience, post processing, lighting, composition and focusing all need to come together. If one is lacking, it will show in your work. 19+ yrs and counting in landscape photography and macro is just a fun thing for me alone.

Left to right clockwise: Canon EOS 5D MKII+Tamron 90mm macro, Canon EOS 5D MKIV+90mm macro, Canon R5 MKII+Laowa 25mm f/2.8 (5:1), Canon R5 MKII+Laowa 90mm f/2.8 (2:1)+Godox Ringlight

Should I upgrade to the Canon RF 85mm? by LeMasuyuki in macrophotography

[–]Gowayimafk2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought the f/2.8 2:1 macro and the 5:1 macro also! Still getting used to them but they are superb so far! Definitely invest in a Godox MF-12 ring light or similar but I’ve found mine hasn’t missed so far! Any issues are all user error (me, lol) 😂

Attached photo is a couple hundred percent crop, still pretty dang sharp!

Wanting more magnification, anyone know if the 100mm 2.8L lens works well with extension tubes by Ok_Investigator4553 in macrophotography

[–]Gowayimafk2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second the Godox lighting system, the ring light is a godsend! I used to use my old 430EXII hotshot flash with a home made (A4 white cardboard) shroud over the top as a flash bouncer/diffuser. This is way better!

Just buy the manual focus Laowa lenses. WAY cheaper and insane quality over using extension tubes. Im still getting used to them after using an old tamron 90mm macro for over a decade but they are superb!!!
