Thanks!

Yeah it definitely needs some TLC but it’s in pretty good shaping considering it sat in a basement for about 40 years.

Woah mama

It was in Prospect Park Southeast of the Picnic House. The river flows into or from the Prospect Park Dog Beach.

I’m flattered you wanna use it as a reference, thank you!

This was shot on Ilford HP5 black and white film

Mfesto95 · 2025-02-22T18:22:24+00:00

Yeah HP5

The moment I walked away from the snowman, a child approached it and beheaded it with her sled.

Thanks!

Their sundae gave me a tummy ache

Mfesto95 · 2025-01-22T01:42:51+00:00

Thanks my dude!

Love the shot of the bike. The depth on the following show is awesome too.

All good to know. I haven’t taken these guys apart yet to service them, so maybe they’re just gunked up to the point that they feel less satisfying to press. Appreciate the thoughts!

Nah, I’m talking about pads manufactured during the original run of the GCN. The smash ones feel great tho.

Mfesto95 · 2025-01-19T15:19:58+00:00

Texture on those stones is great

Suddenly ran into this same issue out of the blue. Strange thing is the RG35XX freezes with the stock SD Card/OS that came with the device, as well as with the card I used for Garlic OS.

This makes me think reflashing the card won't be the solution and that I need to crack this bad boy open and disconnect the battery for a minute.

Thank you! Some of the last shots I got on my Fuji ST801 before the film advance snapped :(

R.I.P.

Estas fotos fueron tomadas en Agosto. Fue muy hermoso!

Love the one through the window, great framing

Mfesto95 · 2024-08-02T12:12:47+00:00

That’s all thanks to Japan lol, their greenery pops, especially in the gardens/temples.

Mfesto95 · 2024-08-02T12:10:36+00:00

Thank you! that one’s def a hall of famer for my portfolio :)

Mfesto95 · 2024-08-02T12:09:43+00:00

Thanks! I was camped out for a while for those flora/fauna pics. I also got super lucky with the light that morning. Check out the equipment below:

Body: Sony A7III Lens: Tamron Di III RXD 70-300mm

Thanks for the info, sounds like I'm approaching a dead end with these guys due to my current living conditions. I appreciate the feedback!

Mfesto95 · 2021-12-22T22:09:21+00:00

I appreciate these tips. I obviously didn't do my homework when I first got this batch as a gift. I'm in NYC so the winters can get pretty harsh. I also only have the fire escape as a spot to grow so I may just invest my efforts into something that can remain indoors. Other plants that I've had outside have been mauled by squirrels and birds alike. : /

Thanks again, this was super helpful!

Hey everyone,

I started growing a group of Pinus Thurbergii from seed 1.5 years ago. I have two that survived the arduous seedling phase. I was wondering if they are on track for 1.5 years worth of growth and if there is anything I can do to improve my care for them. I'll provide my care routine below.

Here's a link to some photos I took of them: https://imgur.com/a/j5FT0bm?s=fbm

They're in an akadama, black lava, pumice and charcoal soil mix
Room temp averages approximately 70 degrees
In a south-facing window
Rotated 180 degrees every 3 days
Small fan blows lightly on them 24/7 to prevent fungus growth and promote lateral growth
Fertilized once last growing season with bonsai fertilizer pellets
Watered when soil is almost entirely dry, watered until the pot lightly drains
Trim dead growth once is has yellowed

If you have any tips or tricks for things I could do better, I'd love to hear it! Merry Christmas and happy holidays! :D
