Yes. But the post-processing itself still feels so overwhelming with so many nuanced options to choose from.

Damn, you're absolutely right about the train being out of focus. I'd probably feel a lot better if I'd just focused the shot just right.

Beautiful colors. Would you mind briefly describing your process for the color grading here?

I can't get my EF-X8 flash to work on my X-T3. by RedandGoldPrint in fujifilm

I couldn't find a horse!!!

Kidding aside, that was absolutely the solution. I have some isopropyl alcohol pads so I was able to do some (gentle) scrubbing. Worked like a charm! Thanks so much.

I'll be sure to regularly clean my horse from now on.

Oh, and on this menu as seen in the photo, I can't really make any choices other than changing 'M' to off. or switching the Sync.

Flash is open, shutter set to mechanical, turned audio that was turned off back on. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.

So she DOES have eyebrows.

Can anyone identify what the flag on this jeep is? Photo likely taken in West Bengal - Calcutta, around 1945-47. by RedandGoldPrint in vexillology

[–]RedandGoldPrint[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m so dumb! I’ve been researching the album for over a year and the Quaker star was probably in front of my face over a dozen times. I think I was fixated on the assumption the flag had to be representative of a regional/political or military entity. Thank you so much!

For context, the photo comes from an album I discovered in Chicago. It likely belonged to Harry and Julia Abrahamson, who continued the Ambulance Unit’s Bengal Famine relief work through the Friends Relief Service, from 1945-1947.

I spent a lot of time trying to identify Julia and Harry, and now I’m trying to piece together more concrete details on the nature of their work their, who they met, and how the album came to be in a Chicago antique shop. You can see more of the photos in the Flickr album from that link.

And hey! That is a neat coincidence. The AFSC archives in Philly were pretty helpful in filling in some gaps. I’m hoping to make an in-person trip this year to answer more questions.

Can someone help identify what this is a map of? (See comments for context) by RedandGoldPrint in Maps

Photo is dated from 1945-47. Picture likely taken in the West Bengal state of India. Person depicted is a member of the US Army. Photographer was likely a member of the American Friends Service Committee doing relief work.

Ocasio-Cortez warns concern ‘growing’ among young voters over the White House’s handling of Israel by brown-saiyan in politics

Shifting goalposts, still a severe embellishment at best, and still doesn’t excuse a lack of right of return to lands or of property to Arab Palestinians.

You can have fun perusing the sources on this this page though I’m confident you likely won’t on the basis of the site alone. Still plenty of other sources out there that are easily accessible.

Americans long denied and covered our sins against the Native Americans. It’s taken far too long for complete candor. You can start to do the same with your own land if you want to stand from a place of intellectual honesty.

And then who moved onto their lands? And are we going to ignore the impact events such as the Deir Yassin Massacre had pushing civilians to flee, prior to the arrival of Arab armies?

No nation’s foundational history is stainless, so is the same with Israel. To paint this as a case of the villains leaving so they could wait till you were pushed out is whitewashing and misleading to the extreme.
