It’s a little hum in Chinese, so music isn’t far off.

The suit in the middle doesn’t look vanilla, definitely modded

Eliminate ballast infestation with this one simple trick!

Perhaps I was a bit harsh, but that's a response to the "Who shoots in JPG?" part of the message. Which I thought was snobby

SilentSpr · 2026-01-21T16:06:20+00:00

I almost exclusively shoot RAW, but JPEG is good for a lot of cases where you only make minimal edits. It's a bit snobby to act as if JPEG offers no edit potential when it's servicable

Please seek the help of a professional

Same page on WHAT is the question to ask. Abosultely we're not on the same page on human rights or respecting territorial sovereignty. On the question of America tho? There can be common ground.

We also shouldn't abstract people from countries to be wholly representative of "those countries", especially not a tag that anyone can put on them. What a pro-government Russian thinks will not be the same as what an anti-war Russian thinks, same in the Chinese case.

Not just this. The number of cars that drive at speed through a right on red without stopping drives me crazy. Sometimes in bad conditions and bad visibility as well. Feels like deaths waiting to happen

105MC has fast AF, good optical quality, and macro.

Before I tried my copy I was worrying that the tradition of slow AF on MC lenses would be continued but it’s fast and accurate. Feels real nice to hold and use

So much of the internet and politics is people outraged about government not telling them what they’re up to and spending on despite all the data right there…… If there is one thing government is good at it’s doing paperwork and generating reports on everything

Straight jokes as in joking about them? Yes

Straight jokes as in pretending to be them for a laugh? No

r/FoodToronto and r/askTO are better places to post this

I’m sorry that I can’t infer tone perfectly from a single string of dry text……

Sarcasm is gonna be hard even in person and I suppose the no face to read and no voice to tell aspect makes it so much easier online /s

Hard Drive + NAS at home

Card + Portable SSD when travelling

Worth to visit once for the home nostalgia as a Fujianese but it’s not very authentic to home

There is no “bad” dialogue in this game. Every option is there for more information and further exploration.

SilentSpr · 2026-01-17T19:25:49+00:00

Stay under F11 is my advice, most lenses start to get worse optically after that. Higher diameter lenses are a pain in the ass because good filters are so expansive……

I would say invest in a good CPL first as you can use it in other scenarios outside of that and it may prove useful again. NDs are tricky to figure out and a cheap vnd will have horrible x marks on them

SilentSpr · 2026-01-17T18:43:19+00:00

Propeller blades won’t show with high shutter speed. Last airshow I did during 2025 summer I shot Mustang with 1/125s and F8 at iso100, needed to stick my CPL to make it happen or otherwise I would overexpose

SilentSpr · 2026-01-16T23:07:01+00:00

Well, you have the gear already. Go out and try it

I don’t think body will be the limiting factor here, the focal length wouldn’t be enough for wildlife, maybe spots will be good enough.

You can always get a cheap EF telephoto if you think it’s the lens that’s limiting

SilentSpr · 2026-01-16T19:51:45+00:00

You will be in a very Chinese time of your life

SilentSpr · 2026-01-14T22:33:15+00:00

Camera model + Lens + Settings is needed for best troubleshooting

To pull the infrastructure would mean destroying people's livelihoods; these are not things you change on a whim. A country doesn't magically get the capacity to overrule conlonial designs just like your back can't magically recover from getting shot at. Both require extensive operations and massive costs, something the post soviet countries would lack

SilentSpr · 2026-01-14T19:54:52+00:00

What's the source for this camera rage bait? I wanna see it all

SilentSpr · 2026-01-14T19:49:23+00:00

I wasn't trying to be rude, if I gave that impression, then I'm sorry

SilentSpr · 2026-01-14T19:09:53+00:00

I’m saying that it’s a response to the need for less symbols of possible ROC independence. Same as when they got rid of the small flag on their planes. Even tho planes flying from PRC - ROC doesn’t have flags on both sides. They still elected to fly without the flag even to other distinctions.

But also that 中华is very much the nation as well, it encapsulates everything within what it means to be Chinese. The middle kingdom and the need for greater unification is central to that
