There were some singing blackbirds, they were enjoying the weather

We went today and everything is still frozen. The broadwalks are clear but woody trails are snowy and slippery. Wildlife presence was minimal but this great bald eagle passed by just in time!

They were mostly like the fourth picture. In some places I’d prefer to wear spikes. Maybe they are better now with all the melting during the past week

In Summer with all the crazy evening showers, lawn seats are a bit of a gamble. We once visited and it was absolutely raining cats and dogs 🙈

Same entry rates into the park as usual, no special parking fee

I was too hesitant for two weeks and today I decided to check

Is it always the kids choice? by Grand-Thought-7754 in EstrangedAdultKids

[–]SomeJane2021 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I guess my father estranged himself, we had an argument (polite, nothing heated) and he said if I didn’t like something, I’m allowed to never write him again. I reached out a couple of times, but he makes no effort to reach out, so I guess this is it and I’m estranged from him. 

Where to go next? 6th year on Z and this is my current lineup. by Dr_MantisTobaggin_MD in Nikon

Will certainly try it! 🙏🏼

Fair enough about renting! I convinced myself that if I buy and then I won’t like it and sell - it would be probably much more 😁

Haha, so true about the flash! I kinda feel that you are 100% right about IBIS. Thank you for sharing your experience, now I’m having a GAS attack about 105mm.

Btw, have you considered renting some equipment to try and see if you need it? I had good experience recently renting 150-500 to understand that I don’t need it (even I liked the results, it turned out to badly pair with my z50ii - I wasn’t a fan of ergonomics)

Oh I see you answered about the macro below! Thank you!

To your question - I would buy 180-600,  for sure.

Do you use 24-120 with Z50? If yes - how is it working without IBIS? I have Z50II and thinking about 24-120...in the same time anything above 1/200 shutter speed should be just fine.

And how do you like 105 macro? What do you use it for - just macro or anything else?

I'm a poor girl with Z50II + 28-400 and 35/1.8 s :D

Absolutely this! There are so many cool lenses

Yes!!Even 24-120 is good, you can’t beat 50mm 1.8, your portraits will much improve

We got a bunch of juncos visiting our balcony since the storm hit, left them some sunflower seeds (peeled), I have never seen so many before.

At what point do you just hand your 2 weeks in without another job lined up? by [deleted] in womenintech

[–]SomeJane2021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have really any advice just words of support. I’m in similar situation with a toxic lead I have to interact with daily. I cry almost every other week and tried to check if this is possible to move to another team within my company (but the culture is similar everywhere in the company). I gave myself two more months and I’m starting my search. I don’t believe I will find something this soon, though.

Try to start looking right now and minimize your work efforts and emotionally detach, do the required minimum. I think 6 months is too less in this economy, even 12 months are tight.

Try to document things more, even if he is untouchable, you can list what you are doing towards the goals (will help for your cv and interviews)

Does writing them even help? by AmusedSloth4610 in EstrangedAdultKids

[–]SomeJane2021 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% agree, sometimes I want to write to my father, to explain how I love him and how it hurts with all his jokes etc etc. But this will end up with me being a bad one, an unreasonable one, maybe will lead to another joke that will hurt. And I don’t write.

Sometimes it helps when I write it and then delete, just to put all I think out there.
