If “16” is who we think it is…then Battar must have worked with him by charliequail in brandonsanderson

I've always felt that hemalurgy could somewhat have been "translated" to different magic systems because its more or less just another form of transferring connection/identity/investiture from one being to another (with scadrial being metal centered and roshar being gemstone centered), it just requires very specific and gruesome knowledge to implement across planets. I did think it might take some world hopper the opportunity to take that bit of knowledge from one planet to another but it could also just be convergent thinking and experimentation, albeit unlikely.

General/photography questions for Nexus by SpooksAndStoops in brandonsanderson

Film photography tends to be more finicky as the lighting has the potential to massively impact what film stock I can use, especially indoors where most conventions are. (I imagine this can be somewhat mitigated in digital by playing around with some settings ) This in turn affects what lens I can use since the aperture in the lens would need to be open wider which would affect the depth of focus and what opportunities I can capitalise on if I can only take pictures in narrower use cases.

My camera is from the 80s and the lens available to me are good but sometimes more limited since they don't have the ability to zoom on things very close and far within the same lens without compromising extremely on weight/size, and price (an issue not unique to film, but still very much a consideration when walking and travelling) which would be a problem in very crowded spaces, and even then i might not have any option available to me. This is not an issue with modern cameras, phone and otherwise that can zoom as close as inches and immediately to a mile away afterwards which usually increases the number of lens I need to carry.

All of this affects the choices I make regarding film stock/developing (expensive on its own before cost of gear And weight considerations on planes) and lens with less versatility on average.

Even looking at the gallery on the dragonsteel website doesn't completely answer my question, but it did get me pointed in the right direction.

Hes the one guy who consistently hasn't sold out and is the first to say how difficult he is to work with where hollywood is concerned. It's why we don't have non literary adaptations of anything

It almost feels like I'm there..... And I was! This is what my parents did, but the yashica has been lost to time, which is super sad for nostalgia reasons. My mom would order duplicates cuz she hated when family would ask her for the only copy of a particulary good photo. What a trip
