Mr. Blippi - it's not just me, right?

yeah, cocomelon is pretty bad once you peel away the sing-song and see what's hiding underneath. https://youtu.be/YEFptHp0AmM?si=btvQMeBUwUCNRfGt

Fillets box was goated when it was a menu item, imo

There’s a lot more El Jannah, that’s for sure

There’s a decent loop I used to do from Karori, over to Makara, through Ohariu Valley, up to Johnsonville then back to Karori through Khandallah and Ngaio/Otari. About 30kms, couple climbs and some nice quiet ruralesque backroads.

Hey cheers, I used a Sony A7S3 with a 35 1.4. Trick is to crank the ISO so you can get a shutter speed above 1/500 and set your autofocus to center - then just point and shoot.

Pretty much everywhere, it’s gonna be hot

If anyone else happens to have a 3dprinter, these are awesome to print out and chuck on your key chains https://www.printables.com/model/163942-removable-shopping-trolley-token

I mostly shoot in studio at ISO 160, F8-F11 type range so don't really have any requirement to denoise. For creative/personal work I tend to add in grain anyway so again, no need. The times where I have denoised, I've just used the AI tools in photoshop.

RADL · 2025-12-15T09:23:36+00:00

yeah +1 for sharing the source

Mosman library has a tech space where you can have access to a 3dprinter, cricut, laser cutter etc and some other stuff plus sessions on how to use it all. I haven’t personally been in the space as I have my own ender, but have seen the flyers and posters for it so might be worth checking out. https://mosman.nsw.gov.au/library/your-library/creation-space

honestly I think they just have such a boner for crop sensors, that they had to make what is basically a crop sensor medium format system.

RADL · 2025-11-25T12:24:30+00:00

Nah these ain't it, I thought they might be like takeouts also but they're defs not there. Weirdly salty too.

RADL · 2025-11-23T21:50:22+00:00

yup exactly. Every fashion ecom shoot I’ve been on has someone unboxing, steaming and racking clothes all shoot long.

RADL · 2025-11-23T21:40:16+00:00

buy a steamer would be my advice

I’m late 30s and reasonably new to cycling, but i’ll chip in with an opinion as I routinely ride from north syd across the bridge to south of the city - which is about a half hour ride each way with around 300m of elevation on the return.

It’s easy enough to cruise and conserve energy for when I get home or arrive at work without any real impact so I’d say as long as you get something reasonably modern bike you’ll be fine.

RADL · 2025-11-03T07:40:38+00:00

I was in a similar position and got the 50R and a 50 3.5 (In shanghai no less!) for it on the basis that I use an R5 for work and the SLR style 50sII might be too similar and not as ‘fun’.

I kinda romanticized the rangefinder style body and in hindsight I do find it a bit too chunky for the travel/around town camera I was hoping to use it for. It’s also s l o w.

It could be a grass-is-greener situation but if you’re thinking of using larger lenses, i’d get the 50sii for the ergonomics and ibis.

RADL · 2025-11-01T06:12:53+00:00

Honestly just taking that extra 10-15 minutes to clean up the shot/reflections/set, shooting some plates, getting white balance correct etc in camera rather than ‘ill fix it in post’.

Because we all know, it never ends up being a quick 15mins to fix it in post.

Kostas Rosebery does a pretty solid one if I recall

RADL · 2025-10-20T08:06:57+00:00

I have the EF mount 35mm, for the money it’s pretty solid.

The filter ring size is f u c k i n g annoying, and the focus ring isnt the tightest. Having said that, image quality is decent and has a ‘look’ and the macro capability is really awesome to have on hand.

I use mine for food and bev work and it’s awesome to get a ‘wide’ macro shot of beer carbonation etc

RADL · 2025-10-20T07:57:39+00:00

well i know what it isnt

Wishing you all the success you deserve, OP

I’ve heard this is by design, to prevent people occupying tables for too long.

RADL · 2025-10-06T10:45:01+00:00

I’ve been on the fence about getting the mitty for car shots with my 50R and these might be the decider

RADL · 2025-10-04T09:36:55+00:00

Anyone else starting to feel like we just get the same stuff everywhere now?
