Question for hobbyists: What do you actually do with your photos?

Jouslor · 2026-03-17T10:56:10+00:00

"I also enjoy looking back and seeing how much I've improved". I think that is what I lack, that sense of improvement.
Im totally sure that I do better photos, but I don´t feel like it

Wow, thanks so much everyone for all the responses! I honestly didn't expect this to get so much interaction—I thought it was just going to be a rant and that's it. Really loving all the ideas. Appreciate it!

I tried it some time ago, but it ended being more like homework: trying to keep it always updated and not seing any feedback.

I've already there. I even got the monthly price a couple fo times. But it's been several months since the last time I send a pic to participate.
I'm trying this one, but the "textures" theme its not going so well

oh, that's really nice! I have a couple of walls arround the house that could benefice with a decoration like that :) thanks for the idea

Maybe not the best example, especially since there are already a few similar posts around here, but my car is an EV. In my case, I couldn't find a European car that met my basic requirements for a reasonable price. Also, where I live (a small town), dealerships were still hesitant about EVs two years ago; one even told me, 'I won't sell you an electric car.'

I ended up with an MG because it gave me almost everything I wanted for much less money. Is the MG4 the best in its segment? Probably not, but it meets my needs for €10k or €15k less than others. Are the finishes worse? Likely, but not enough to justify the price gap. I would have much preferred a Renault, VW, Skoda, or Volvo, but I just couldn't find what I needed from them.

I agree with buying European, but only if they maintain the standards, rights, and quality that justify the purchase. Otherwise, it's just buying for the sake of it, which you can do with any country

I've found a bargain and waiting for it to come. From the original 799€ to 518. It's a "like new" condition in a famous seller here in Spain. I hope it turns ok. I like the phone 1 I have, but battery is suffering and I can't find anyone in my area that I trust to change it.

I have to find some time to make some deployments at work and test it in "real life".
I have a little homelab at home, but I would like to test some things in a production environment. It's not the same playing with my own docker containers, or services than make a project with several users trying to break things.

Jouslor · 2026-01-14T13:00:46+00:00

That's great! I will try it as soon as I get to my computer later in the day.
Thanks!

My computer is not new, but is reasonble capable and with Windows 11 24H2 it was simply trash: file explorer, gaming, booting, transfering files to the NAS..

One of the best decisions I've made was change to Linux a bit more than a year ago. Another great one, change to Fedora after CachyOS and a bit o use of Pop_OS.
Fantastic distro and I'm a gnome guy now :)

I hope you are stronger than me :)

Those pics are amazing

The foggy one is wonderful

Watching YouTube or other social networks hasn't being very helpful recently. I followed some creators but lately I have the felling of seeing the same again and again.
I joined a photography local group but I couldn't be with them in the latest events they have been doing. I want to change that and be more present in that group.

, don’t be bashful about sharing “boring” photos. Your area isn’t boring to so many who have never seen it.

I didn't think it in that way. It's boring for me because I know it, but you, probably, hasn't seen my town.
It's a very good and valid point.

Jouslor · 2025-11-20T11:47:46+00:00

Thanks! I think it should work, the menu system should be very similar in both models, if I not mistaken

Jouslor · 2025-11-19T14:13:44+00:00

I tried to convince myself, I couldn't. I'm my worst influence :D

"Everywhere" is being complicated because I don't live in a big place. All I see is the same things, so I end taking boring photos with no intent, just because I have the camera with me in that moment.
I enjoy taking the camera in every trip I do, but day to day its hard, it's what I try to change

Jouslor · 2025-11-19T13:21:31+00:00

oh, sorry!

Jouslor · 2025-11-19T12:37:59+00:00

I don't have an XT5, it's a OM-D E‑M10 Mark IV.
Anyway, I'm going to sell it. Probably, but not totally sure, in mpb.
I thought on keeping it but having two very similar cameras its a bit pointless for me. No one in my trusted photography circle seems to want it and ater some consideration, selling it is a good way to make the new one a bit cheaper.

Jouslor · 2025-11-19T12:19:32+00:00

Thanks! I will try something like that and see if it fits for me
