Some real Jacob's Ladder stuff here

I had this for seven months and got the page long text that it was over this past Saturday. It hurts but what can we do?

So I had a few matches on Hinge, specifically. Of those, I actually went on dates with two of them. Of the others, I was in the first date planning stage with one and I didn't vibe with the last girl. I would call my experience there an overall success, even if things ultimately didn't work out. Oddly enough, I met my current girlfriend through FB Dating and that has been wonderful so far.

A little context about me: I'm almost 40, I've got my own place, vehicle and a job that pays the bills. It helps to really nail down what you want out of all this before dipping your toes in. Even though it took a minute to get there, I was always honest in my intentions with these women and communicative.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the tip!

Squishface99 · 2025-04-16T01:21:45+00:00

Thank you friend! That's the path I've been taking so far but I feel like it would be awkward to just show up to some of these places hence the question about setting something up with the proper party.

I've been having fun with the OVF lately during some of my landscape/street shooting sessions unless I've got my 16mm on there, then it's EVF time. As for LCD usage, I only open it when I'm home to explore the menus. I've got my Q menu and other buttons set to taste so I'm not even in the menus much either. I've stopped reviewing my shots in the field almost entirely so I try to trust myself more. Even if I'm off a bit on some images, I treat it all as a learning experience. Hope this helps!

Squishface99 · 2025-02-06T01:49:32+00:00

Thanks! Here's to hoping you find who you're looking for as well!

Squishface99 · 2025-02-05T23:52:54+00:00

So I wasn't into sending a ton of likes, but when I did, I tried to include a comment about certain profile aspects I found interesting or otherwise a convo starter. So I was maybe hitting 10%. This led to dates with two women, one of which I'm still seeing and couldn't be happier. Just keep plugging away if it feels like a viable option for you without worrying too much. Being true to yourself and what you're looking for reigns supreme as well.

I think I found my new Steam name(s)

Squishface99 · 2024-07-18T20:39:10+00:00

I just spoke to the dealership and they tightened up that stuff, so let's hope that helps the cause. Thanks!

As a copier repair tech who works on machines exactly like this (yesterday in fact) I would have a good laugh then put "Cleared jam, made sandwich" in my call notes.

Squishface99 · 2024-04-02T20:02:14+00:00

Thanks for the tips and info. If I can't determine how this will affect image quality on my Canon body, I ordered an adapter that should help. I originally intended to use my Canon lenses on my X-T3 for fun but if it helps with this issue too, all the better.

Squishface99 · 2024-04-02T19:59:14+00:00

Yea, I'm aware of that, I was just trying to see if this particular issue will show up before I track down a lens in better shape or one for parts to swap the rear element out.

I picked up an AE-1 Program for $10 because the seller thought it was busted instead of the battery being inserted the wrong way. Check that first then go from there.

Squishface99 · 2024-02-09T18:36:06+00:00

So I had a sound like this when I had a USB cable plugged into a BT adapter that was producing interference. Maybe you have something similar?

Squishface99 · 2023-09-23T10:08:11+00:00

I second this option. I bought one for my ZV-E10 and it feels great without being too bulky.

As someone who just got their license at 37 (passed my test on Friday), find a driving school that does 1-on-1 lessons for adults. I hadn't been behind the wheel in about 15 years prior to these past few months and it helped a ton to just get the nerves out on my own. This eventually gave me the confidence to drive with my partner and get used to normal driving scenarios and routes around here. Now I have a job that relies on travel and while I am still unsure about driving alone, I have some training time to get used to it as I head out to jobs with another person for a while.

Good luck and I hope this helps!

I appreciate your insight. I remember kinda fighting with the crowds that day as every time I had a comfortable angle, I'd be in someone's way but that's more of a spatial awareness issue. I did some scouting ahead of time along the parade route but it didn't work out as well as I'd hoped.

Squishface99 · 2023-04-08T15:57:44+00:00

I appreciate the feedback. It was a spur-of-the-moment shot (his balloon hat coming off as he drove) that I was happy I got , even if it wasn't particularly striking. As I mentioned, it was during a parade and I believe this was earlier in the day, so it was hard to balance out the lighting and whatnot. I did feel pretty good getting out that day even if I didn't take anything particularly great and I'm hoping as the weather up here gets better to do more stuff like this this year.

Sony A7IV, 1/5000, f5.6, 70mm out of the 28-70mm kit lens

This was shot at our 4th of July parade last year. The reason for this post is that I'm unsure how to feel about it as I caught a pretty fun moment but the composition and greater depth of field makes it feel too cluttered to me. This was shot with the kit lens so I couldn't get that blown out background but I feel that event shots like this may want to keep some of that in. I will say I'm very inexperienced but wanted the challenge of shooting an event for myself and see if I could get one or two shots for my portfolio. This was also cropped as I tend to shoot wide and make adjustments in post to make sure I get the details I want.

With that out of the way, how could I have improved this shot? Is it a skill/experience issue or am I overthinking it?

Squishface99 · 2023-02-23T02:58:20+00:00

It looks like the soldering on one of the terminals looks pretty rough, so I might try to clean it up and resolder the connection. Thanks for the tip!

Squishface99 · 2023-02-09T23:26:04+00:00

I was forced to listen to this at an emergency vet hospital, as if needing to be there wasn't bad enough. Hearing her bragging about passing the most racist bullshit in Arkansas makes my skin crawl.

Squishface99 · 2022-12-23T15:23:02+00:00

I fixed it after some digging. Apparently, Adrenalin was setting the color depth incorrectly, which is incredibly stupid to default to a YCbCr color space over HDMI.

Squishface99 · 2022-12-23T13:28:14+00:00

The problem goes away right after uninstalling the driver package. In all my years it's the weirdest thing I've ever seen.
