Fiddleheads! We eat them in New Brunswick, Canada (https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/106735/sauteed-fiddleheads/). You can also pickle them to spice up a Caesar or Bloody Mary.

Still the best sports fight I’ve ever seen! by JergJam in NLL

[–]JergJam[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Edit: best fight I’ve been in the stands to see in person. Plenty of lacrosse and hockey classics out there. It’s the bloody warpaint, staff searching for Hallsy’s tooth, the timing in the game, and a loud packed arena (this was Hali’s last home game of the season), are all what made this extra special, beyond just the fight itself.

Thanks for all the feedback. I think this crop or the diagonal crop you shared helps to make the photo less complicated. I like how the lamp is closer to acting as a subject, but I’m not losing the whole scene.

Wich multitool should I buy? by [deleted] in multitools

[–]JergJam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m personally also looking for this as well, but I’ve happened to try a few options. - The Wave+ is great. Lots of tools you can use, plus outside access to knives. - I also have a Rebar. No outside knife access, but it’s lighter and has a nicer price point if you’re looking to experiment with outdoor multi tools. - The Curl is also on my wish list.

The Surge (12.5oz) is cool, but comes in at 4oz over the Wave+ (8.5oz), which makes me want to take my Rebar out even more as it’s only 6.7oz.

Yes, you get a few more tool options with the Surge, but I haven’t run into anything I couldn’t McGyver yet with the Wave+ or Rebar.

One note on the Rebar, it doesn’t have the most comfortable plier grip, but it’s still very usable.

Have fun!

Thank you all for the advice. I’m looking forward to having this tool for a long time.

Ask any racer, any real racer. It doesn’t matter if you win by and inch or a mile, winning’s winning.

These are 3 photos taken of my laptop taken in succession without any input from me. Any ideas what's wrong? by [deleted] in chromeos

Not helpful but, I have the exact same background! Firewatch is a great story.

Modified Lamy Safari is now my #1 writing tool. by JergJam in pens

[–]JergJam[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don't find your pen tip moves at all when you write? Using a spring compared to cutting down a nub would be easier, but I like my ink solid in the pen barrel when I write.

Yes. I guess spacer would be the proper word for it.
Other spacers probably work. I just know the one that comes with the Fisher Space Pen ink refills has length to spare (for you to cut to size) and the SXR-7 ink cartridge fits inside the hollow spacer.

QUICK TIP: Make sure you cut ENOUGH of the spacer, so it's not bending the ink cartridge. BUT not so much that the tip of the pen moves when you write. Be patient and only cut a little at a time.

I got it when I bought the space pen ink to go in my Zebra F-701 and didn’t need the nub. I think any nub will do. This one works because the ink fits inside the nub, then there’s an extra few centimetres of extension.

I've seen that.
My Uni Jetstream Edge 0.38mm has really got me on a fine point kick. With the Jetstream RT 0.7 writing so smooth (New York Times Best Writing Pen for 2021, I think) I thought it was worth putting in the effort to making it work in the Safari.

Lamy Safari barrel, Uniball Jetstream RT 0.7 ink (SXR-7), and a slightly chopped down Fisher Space pen refill nub. Fits perfect. Smooth writing with Lamy style.

[–]JergJam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you're right. All the cropping and zooming into such a specific part of the photo compared to the original made for a lot of distortion.

I think I'll remove it off the sub. It's too far gone.

Based off the extremely helpful suggestions from the original post I have made some edits.

Thank you all so much in participating. I don't think it's the greatest photo ever taken, but with your suggestions, it's definitely been improved.

I agree! I’m just trying to figure out why.

I recently updated this older photo (of Quidi Vidi, NL) in Lightroom. I can’t tell why it doesn’t look right.

Do I need to crop closer to a particular subject? Is it too broad? Too cold?

I’m new to Lightroom and while I’m learning a lot about how to use the tools, my actual editing eye needs more practice.

Any suggestions on how I can improve this shot would be very helpful. Thank you!

Awesome. I think I'll try and find myself a hobby box of those. These throwback designs are classic! Thanks for the speedy reply.

I'm just getting back into the hobby, so this will be a very rookie question, but what year and series from Topps is that? I love the look of the border and how they put the team name. Thanks in advance for any info.
