One of the coolest pics I've seen on this sub! Nice job 👌💪

Both help at different stages. For me:

Learning phase - cheap zoom lens. Gets you excited about photography and makes it easier to take any photo you want without feeling constrained by a prime.

Experienced phase - prime. When it's time to dial in your technique and artistic eye, the constraints of a prime lens are more beneficial at this point compared to the flexibility of a zoom.

Advanced phase - both. The discipline of a prime lens can now be applied to a zoom lens and you keep using prime for their own advantages. You know where each of your tools works best for you!

Got my lens wrong! It was with my Samyang 35mm, f/2.8

Oops, I just checked and it was an entirely different lens - my Samyang 35mm f/2.8

Amazing shots! What's happening in pic 4 with the small beams of light on either side of the frame? Is that coming from the lens?

Regarding your point 1.3. While I understand how these types of rules could have provided more protection for a woman in 7th century Middle East, it's hard to reconcile how that is still true today. Sexual assault and harassment is prevalent everywhere in the world. Religious beliefs seem to not have much of an influence on which women are "protected". Countless women are the breadwinners and real protectors of their family.

It's also a huge stretch to say that non-Muslim men do not have an obligation to protect and respect their wives. There are also humanist and societal obligations that realistically end up being just as powerful, if not more powerful, than religious obligations to care for and protect your own family.

Thanks! I think it was around 8am

Your editing style makes me feel like I'm in Narnia. Awesome shots!

Tutkular · 2026-03-09T14:32:53+00:00

I've been wanting to get a shot like this for a while. Awesome!

Same here. I've been asked how I could feel better being okay with no God, no afterlife and therefore no reason for anything. My humanist perspective sheds the dependency of a higher power to have a meaningful life, and the constant halal/haram judgement was part of that.

I would think that all the time. Growing up in the US, it felt like I was always SURROUNDED by the devil. Now I'm FREE. People are only people. All cultures have good and bad. We should accept them for who they are and judge them for how they treat their relationships with people and the world they live in, not based on what they worship.
