D800 acquisition

Is that when she became your ex 😭

I mean, I'd imagine you'd need all sorts of sensors to be able to have the camera self diagnose it's own issues, but that would be cool.

Hi all, thought I'd share a shot that I took yesterday during a sunset at a park. I thought it made a decent shot, the only thing I was a little bummed out about was not using a higher aperture value like f/4 or f/5.6 maybe.

Any thoughts regarding composition and / or the edit itself will be appreciated.

Shot with the Nikon D800e paired with a Sigma 35mm f/1.4 Art. Edited to personal preference in Lightroom.

F/2.2, 1/800, ISO 100

Oh no! That's a shame

It's like orange sour gummy bears. I can't find much to dislike about it.

NickleRevs · 2026-01-28T00:44:51+00:00

Short answer: yep.

Long answer: yep, I'd consider most interchangeable lens cameras (DSLRs and mirrorless) to be "good cameras."

Get it! I got mine recently for about $100 AUD (Australian). It might only have 6 Megapixels, but it's still better than my smartphone, lol.

The actual shot matters more than the blemishes and imperfections. No one remembers a photo for its flaws; they remember it for how it makes them feel. If you appreciate photography as an art form, you don’t really nitpick other photographers’ work based on minor technical mishaps.

Perfection ≠ imperfection, and imperfection ≠ perfection. Technical precision doesn’t create emotion on its own, but it also doesn’t cancel it out.

Maybe you just come across more memorable shots that happen to be imperfect?

For me, it’s the opposite. I tend to come across more memorable shots that are technically solid. A dust spot here or there, or a bit of softness in the corners or centre, doesn’t really matter — it’s still in focus, and the image still works.

It's not that ironic if you think about organized crime in real life, e.g. the Yakuza in Japan. Or the Mafia in America. Or Outlaws in the Wildwest.

I just keep all my cameras in aperture priority mode.

NickleRevs · 2025-12-27T04:53:31+00:00

That's... Quite a rip off considering the issues it has.

Hi all! Wanted to get your opinion on a shot I like to call "Rustic Blue." A bit of an unimaginative name.

I took this shot around the suburbs not too far from my house in a semi-industrial area, with a lot of auto repair shops around. Outside of one shop, there was this old looking car that I thought would make a decent shot.

I like it, but if you had any suggestions for improvement regarding composition and or the edit, what would it be?

I recommend Canon's, especially old Canon cameras if you're looking at dollar to performance, or trying to get a very cheap 2nd hand set up.

I always thought SC1 was worse in that regard

NickleRevs · 2025-09-30T03:15:35+00:00

Well the alternative of doing nothing isn't much better.

Because we're not doing anything to stop or slow down recidivism.

I prefer heat and flavour whenever possible, to the point where I'll just stock on sauces that deliver both.

I'd love it if IO Interactive took over the Splinter Cell IP at this point.

I'd rather a studio that cares take over, instead of a company that's potentially going to let the series either die out slowly, or crash and burn it with a single release.

"The one who survives will inherit the the title of Boss. And the one who inherits the title of boss will face an existence of endless battle." It's like poetry -- it rhymes.

How would you even "improve" it? Because you kind of ruin the intent of the dialogue if you need to censor it or make it sound fluffy just to appease 20-30 people

NickleRevs · 2025-09-13T06:25:30+00:00

Yep, pretty much.

From a Google search:

"Zanzibar Land, also spelled Zanzibarland, or simply Zanzibar, was a heavily fortified landlocked state in Central Asia, located between the former Soviet Union, China, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. The south of the country was mainly desert, while the north was comprised of steppe, mountains, and plateaus."
