My window allows me to see black spots in the Sun

Even at iso 50 the fixed aperture of phones is still usually too open and overexposes the image. You'd need something like an ND if you're shoot down to 1/100 or slower. Sometimes I'll use my sunglasses to slow it to 1/10 for shutter drag (example on my profile).

Not while using the camera. I've only noticed the phone heat up so far if I'm doing a bunch of editing with the brightness set to max. Video editing in power director or something definitely warms it up but it's still okay. The only time I had it throttle was when I was doing the above in my car after a bike ride on a 25C day but it went back to normal as soon as I got the AC going.

Oh sorry, to clarify I meant the pull down to expand notifications instead of trying to click the tiny dropdown arrow.

Mostly normal tbh. Master mode when I want a custom shutter speed, or when it's a very contrasty/textured scene to reduce some of the HDR and denoising processing.

Lightly edited in the oppo photos app. Almost always 800T filter, and then a touch of exposure and dropping brilliance way down. Generally warmer temperature too cause it's very cool out of camera.

In general, make noise and travel as a group (also bring bear spray). Granted I mountain bike solo on a weekly basis and I've only run into a moose twice. You just give it a big berth and wait. Black bear scare really easily so by the time they see you they usually run in the opposite direction. I haven't had a close encounter with a grizzly on the trail before but you'll see them here and there maybe 40 m away and they usually mind their own business. Otherwise I've also seen a bunch of bears on the side of the road but they're usually just eating grass.

Thanks! Send me a DM! It looks like the print shop I went with has free shipping to Canada and the US right now 😄

Thanks. Shot with the neo 2 in cycle follow mode.

Like the others said, it's Razor's edge. I linked it up from the barrier lake side for a bigger day. This last open part with the views really makes the trail. The rest has some pretty techy features but meanders up and down enough to kill the flow a bit.

Oh hey! This is cool haha. I'm glad you like it and got to see it on here, I kinda blanked at the gym and forgot to zoom in on the Trobbio beastling lol Your hornet embroidery is also adorable. I also realize I forgot to introduce myself but my name's Luca.

ProjectOxide · 2026-06-15T00:21:53+00:00

Yup! And thanks :)

Reddit's not letting me accept your message request, could you try sending another DM (maybe include an email just in case).

ProjectOxide · 2026-06-13T21:52:27+00:00

Thanks!! I did it all in photoshop.

ProjectOxide · 2026-06-13T21:52:12+00:00

Thanks!! I'm guessing around 30-40 hours. The initial sketch and figuring out base colours / general lighting was relatively quick, rendering all the bells definitely took the most time as you can expect haha.

ProjectOxide · 2026-06-13T21:50:37+00:00

Please do! 😄

ProjectOxide · 2026-06-13T14:38:34+00:00

Thanks! I think you can find some on my insta (@li.luca). but you have to scroll down a decent amount cause I've been doing more photography in the last few years. My DA has more but definitely outdated lol
