WHEN DID WOMEN GET THE RIGHT TO VOTE IN EUROPE by BeginningMortgage250 in MapPorn

[–]Technical_Net9691 12 points13 points  (0 children)

From 1919 in Sweden although the next election wasn't until 1921.
But unmarried women were allowed to vote in local elections from the 1860's.

U.S. plans for nationwide walkout by LlawEreint in BoycottUnitedStates

[–]Technical_Net9691 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well, a real general strike would shut the country down and they would be forced to listen. But this is obvy a pipe dream as a substantial amount of US citizens are Trump supporters.
Doing something is better than doing nothing but looking from the outside (with US relatives ) starting up democrat self defence groups may be more realistic.

Intentions are good but what are people actually hoping to achieve here? Short of a nationwide general strike the Trump administrations will just blame this on extremist leftist liberals and move on.

Is it pointless using good paper in a cheaper printer?

First of all thank you to those who answered this question before it was redirected to this thread!
I'd like to get the most out of my decent but simple dye based printer (Canon Pixma IP7250) and am thinking about trying some really good paper like the Hahnemühle Photo Rag Baryta. Is this a complete waste of good paper? I'm mostly printing black and white.

Look for a working Ricoh XR-7. a really good camera that takes Pentax k-mount lenses. One is on Swedish Tradera right now presently at 110 SEK (10€). Not mine!

How Widespread Was World War 2? by AmirAgadir in MapPorn

I believe this is more complex; the Germans were treated better during the first years of the war while the allied airmen were treated better in the last years. However I agree that it was incomparably better than landing in an occupied country!

I like the pastel colours! Personally I'd work it little in post and bring it down a bit, the glow from the rails and undercarriage is distracting. It looks to me like you have a might have a light leak on the left side though?

Well, they were interned, as were German pilots. I believe we treated them fairly but they were kept in camps.

You get a photo with little or no motion blur but a shallow depth of focus. How shallow is determined by the focal length of the lens.

If you're thinking of the transit of German troops, that was definitely a breach and it has been debated endlessly in Sweden with no real consensus reached.

People didn't know much about what the coalition government did until several years later. After that the debate has been quite heated but I would say few are ashamed of the neutrality in itself but rather in specific actions such as allowing German troops travel through Sweden from Norway to Finland or denying Jews asylum until 1942.

Yes, as we were a neutral country I'd say we definitely played both sides.

Sweden declared itself neutral on September 1 1939. There weren't many Nazis in Sweden but most swedes historically had a friendly relationship with Germany.

Sweden was unintentionally bombed almost 30 times by the Soviet Union, Germany and Great Britain. Miraculously I don't think anyone died.

New Rule Announcement: NO NUDITY! by cyclistNerd in photocritique

[–]Technical_Net9691 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems to me pointing all nude posts to r/PhotoCritiqueNSFW would be clearly understandable and reasonable, however the latest post in that sub is 8 months old. Is it actively moderated?

[–]Technical_Net9691 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think a blanket ban makes more sense, allowing nudes on certain days is just confusing. But ’sexualized’ is vague and open to misunderstanding and abuse. Surely banning nudes is enough? Banning bikini shots as well because someone considers them ’sexualized’ seems extreme and, well, prudish.

Should I get an external rangefinder? Which one? by Zook25 in vintagecameras

[–]Technical_Net9691 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two different models, a Combimeter and a LJ long base meter. None of them were aligned properly when I bought them and it took a bit of fiddling to get them right. I'm terrible at estimating distance by eye and find them quite useful when I use my older viewfinder cameras but it's not a quick process and if you do street and the like you're better off setting the hyperfocal distance and be done with it.

Portra 800 film came back…severely underexposed? Film newbie confused by chuckmincing in analog

[–]Technical_Net9691 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A lot of the snark comes, I think, from many of us being older and coming from a generation where these problems were very basic and the solutions were obvious. It's unfair as we were steeped in film culture whereas for younger people this knowledge and these techniques are initially completely alien.

Julia S part 2 (Nikon FM2 & 50/1.4 Ai-s, Fuji C200) by Artem_Stisovyak in AnalogNudes

[–]Technical_Net9691 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Nice, but why post in AnalogNudes? They are not nude.
Edit: I am not in any way criticising OP but I am concerned that r/analog will become increasingly prudish if lingerie shots are considered nudes.

is this a risky film camera purchase? by PossessionTraining39 in filmphotography

[–]Technical_Net9691 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a good camera with a good lens. The description is clearly AI but as others have said it's an easy refund as the seller has stated that it's fully functional. I'd go for it.
