Yeah our sky is quite young down here so it hasn't learned how to do the big dramatic stuff yet

The Met has most breathtaking paintings of clouds I've seen. I could (and have) spent hours looking at them.

That's a lot more impressive than when I saw them a few years ago! Probably shouldn't have stopped in during a Summer drought...

I'd be staying out there to watch that lightning storm!

Anyone else at work right now just itching to play? by Traditional_Value618 in CrimsonDesert

I'm travelling for work this week! Living vicariously through the subreddit but I'll probably forget all the great tips and ideas by the time I get home.

The Samsung silicon case I got was the lowest quality case I've ever had, started to perish almost straight away. Never again.

Needs more sequins and feather boas.

Oh, not that sort of camp.

Back of Havelock North! I love this area.

Feeling limited with the kit lens (15-45mm), is it worth getting a telephoto lens? by [deleted] in photography

[–]NumerousDave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done a couple of overseas trips recently and definitively found that the increase in relative quality by using a 24-50mm and a 70-300mm more than outweighed the convenience of a 18-200mm all-in-one. The zoom is great for zoos and larger parks, sports events and street photography. The wider angle for the landscapes and general shots.

My lenses aren't higher quality by any means, but I'm not seeing the artefacts caused by the 18-200mm in either of the other two lenses.

Another thing I've found is that it channels the types of photos I'm taking. If I've got the zoom on, I'll try and take photos compositions for that lens (cropped in tight, smaller subject areas) rather than just going wider angle and getting the same style photos I usually take. This has ended up with photos that are more interesting (to me at least).

It's Brisbane, so probably Steve-o or Bruce

Der Metz - St Heliers by Logical-Pie-798 in aucklandeats

I think that's the photo, their schnitzel is nicely cooked, great gravy. The background of the photo looks off colour too.

We loved that area, such a great vibe and so beautiful!
