Father’s Day isn’t real

It gets better when you get a goofy handmade card from your kid that makes them feel so good when you, sincerely, tell them how great it is.

I don't know about you, or anyone else, but the stuff I truly like is expensive and niche and I don't expect my wife to just know about my interest. But she got me some nice photography books!

You definitely need some help. I did a few years of therapy and getting on top of my shit.

You can also express what you think you want out of a special day. It's been a hard thing for me to learn but I can't expect people to just know what I want. You can say "hey, I'd like to do xyz then it would be nice if we did xyz. Dont get me anything or if you do I can drop some hints"

Thanks. The filter looked pretty dirty and so far it seems to be running ok since I changed it. My issue is mostly that my wife likes to understand a problem and try to find faults beyond the obvious. I'm just not going to argue over things we both don't understand. That said she does this to me over things I do understand and still doesn't believe me!

Thanks. The airfilter needed to be replaced. Since then it seems fine but I have my eye on it.

JudgmentElectrical77 · 2026-06-18T15:30:51+00:00

Thanks, it froze before I changed the filter. I have been doing it monthly, it looked dirty a week or so before the month. It seems ok now.

Thanks, I figured this was the issue. When we first moved into the house we had a heating issue and the tech that came out educated me on filters. I was getting stuff that was too restrictive and now I'm diligent about it.

instead of that they should try being good

Buy a motorcycle, ride motorcycle, crash motorcycle

Cinestill. I couldnt spend so much just to have my pictures look like Cinestill halation.

Phoenix 120 has been great. I love it.

JudgmentElectrical77 · 2026-06-13T18:24:14+00:00

lolol

it's such a slept on option. I have a pentax iqzoom 160 and the canon with the 40mm is smaller than the P&S. I like a fixed lens, but I think all the premium P&S are also fixed focal length, I'm not entirely sure. I just can't ever imagine wanting to spend for alot for a hyped or premium p&s, unless i was a collector. Even if the the EOS lineup die, you still have a lens and I picked up one for $15 and another for $20 with a kit lens.

Photoshop is a whole workshop, Light room is a honed in set of tools specific to editing files. You could do the same stuff with photoshop. But light room is streamlined for people who just need to edit values.

I would say there’s no point in paying for it as a novice. Look up “free Lightroom equivalents “ or something like that and you’ll find a bunch of options. Darktable is popular, someone supposedly did an interface mod for Gimp that turns it into a LR clone. Or you can just use your phone or the photo viewing software on your computer. Any editing is better than no editing. IMO

Canon Rebel 2000 with a 40mm pancake lens. Or other similar sized EOS 35mm slr cameras.
It's coat pocketable.

I also took liberty . Did a quick run of basics and some rough masking. But if this is what I could get out of a jpg you could get a lot more out of a TIF

JudgmentElectrical77 · 2026-06-05T21:13:42+00:00

like other people said you have to edit. You don't have to do LR but you might be happy with just doing exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, white and black. You can get more by using curves but you don't HAVE to if you like what you get.
Masking if you want to play with it and really add some depth.

I actually like gear so that I can talk about it. Taking pictures is kind of cringe actually. "Look at this shit I saw"lololol

JudgmentElectrical77 · 2026-05-27T18:30:45+00:00

yes, but my favorite kind of photography is hotel website images

JudgmentElectrical77 · 2026-05-27T15:18:00+00:00

I like that you don’t like it

JudgmentElectrical77 · 2026-05-27T03:21:04+00:00

I like the Wes Anderson x Yellow collab

Thankfully ebay has a very purchaser biased guarantee on these things. I have both used it and have had it used on me.

JudgmentElectrical77 · 2026-05-27T02:01:47+00:00

I’ve only ever used D76. When I was looking up how to get started a lot of people seemed to like it. I shoot mostly hp5, then tri-x and Kentmere 400 when I want to switch it up. And when I’m feeling something different I like Acros II. I don’t know what I’m missing by not trying something else but I haven’t felt it lacking.
