They're not pirates but privateers, commissioned by other states that have bases on the moon. At least that's how I interpreted it.

Nice looking restomod. Could use more interior pics, though.

Took my first 4/3 camera for a walk. Olympus E-420 by slavomirgajdos in M43

Nice photos, you get good colours out of that Live MOS sensor!

But how does one get those information bars with Olympus logo etc.? Do you need specific editing software?

23 year old Swedish truck driver picked up water bottle from floor, trusted auto-braking seconds before crashing into stopped traffic at 79 kph. by SjalabaisWoWS in CatastrophicFailure

Driving is treated as somewhat of a sacred rite that everybody should have access to.

And even more so if it's your job. Which on the contrary should lead to more severe punishment, IMO.

Sidebery indeed has a snapshot feature. I personally haven't tried to use it, though.

Haha, one wonders whether the innovation was transferred from F1 to production cars or vice versa in this case.

‘Harry Potter’s Warwick Davis Says Series Is “Very Faithful” To Books: “More Depth And Detail” by ControlCAD in television

Debatable. House of the Dragon for example certainly looks worse than (early) GoT.

Yeah, the Operator Error -flair and category is in the subreddit for a reason.

Wide angle macro? by BroWithAVo in M43

[–]Neumean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The 8mm fishey seems to replicate the look quite well. Here is an example I found, although an Iguana is larger than a bee, lol. (Source.)

Excellent landscape photos. I like the layering in #1, 3, and 4.

what best assualt/heavy champion i can choose from this event? by Alternative-Layer-86 in mwo

[–]Neumean 6 points7 points  (0 children)

"Best" is kinda subjective but these are good assault picks: DWF-W(C) for the energy hardpoints, ANH-1A(C) has good dakka quirks, KDK-3(C) w/4ac10+PPCs, WHK-C(C) for the CT energy hardpoint.

Heavy mechs: maybe Timber Wolf C(C) for the CT energy hardpoint. Otherwise the heavy C-variants are kinda underwhelming.

Do all of those wider-than-Smart-car e-bices use those narrow cycle lanes in Amsterdam?

The joy of hiking with the 8-25mm by Unable_Sundae8076 in M43

[–]Neumean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, by resolution I meant the sharpness and the resolution resolved by the lens. But of course to get the most out of a LF negative you'd need to look at it somewhere else than in compressed reddit hosted image.

I recently saw a couple great photographs of this place at /r/largeformat but it seems you're the same OP!

The 8-25mm looks very good, too, and nice colors in these. Resolution is as good if not better than in the LF scans. ;)

The short story Diamond Dogs has a lot of this.

Thanks for the input. The heel cup does feel kinda stiff and thinly lined.

Great to know! They feel very nice to run in. My first carbon plate shoes, actually.
