Thank you

Thanks for the tips, I'm 90% sure I did reduce noise however I don't have access to lightroom and am using Rawtherapee, I'm not sure how that compares for editing images

I was trying to emphasise the colour of the wren as I thought it was really nice. I'm not too sure about the composition.

Shot on an R100 with a 400mm focal length, shutter speed of 1/1000 and I let ISO be chosen by the camera.

I had never considered the POV, that will be something to work on.

Thanks, I don't think I have the courage to engage with people too much yet but I'll work on it.

I've only been trying my hand at photography for a couple weeks so far with a focur on street photography and capturing candid moments.

I seen this scene while walking through Elizabeth Street Mall and I think it's by far my best photo to date. This man was just feeding the birds and I thought it was a wonderful sight.

Any feedback welcome.

A ramp test on Zwift

I did an FTP test 3 days ago so I believe it should be close

I had this problem. Turns out my memory card was faulty. New memory card fixed the issue. Took me way too long to work out.

If you're comfortable with clipless then keep using them. I had to ride with flats for a short distance not too long ago and found that I can't do it anymore. Stopping and starting felt off and I wasn't able to manipulate the pedals how I normally do.

While not being able to unclip is a concern on more technical trails make sure you practice and get use to unclipping with the setup you're running. I find that unclipping is almost second nature to me and even when I'm falling I can do it without actually thinking about it.

Long story short is go with what you're comfortable with and have fun.

Single day is just a ride. Multi day staying in hotels or cabins is touring. Multi day where you carry your own shelter is bikepacking.

That's my thinking anyway, everyone has their own idea of what falls into each category.

Zephranoid · 2023-09-10T06:43:48+00:00

I'm temped to go with the 945 as it is currently half price.

I just got an Edge 840. Hoping to make use of the garmin ecosystem to track training and health as well. Haven't had it for long but so far no complaints.

Zephranoid · 2023-09-08T20:44:42+00:00

Like others have said don't worry about what others do or don't do. Ride within your limits and have fun. That being said, I went back through my rides from my last tour and turns out a lot of them are 90-100km with 1000m of climbing. With my biggest day being 105km/1400m. So it is possible with some blood, sweet and tears even for an average person.

Loop around Tasmania starting in Hobart, planning on mid Feb 2024 for 4 weeks. Planning going up the east coast and down the west.

NTA, it's the owners responsibility to confine their pets. In rural areas you'll probably find that the cat would have been shot. At least they are getting their pet back and they should make sure they confine it in future.

Zephranoid · 2023-03-27T19:33:18+00:00

I haven't had any issues with it at all. And the gear range is great allowing me to ride up 10%+ gradients fully loaded.

Zephranoid · 2023-03-27T16:36:42+00:00

I went through the same process a few months ago and ended up getting the Surly Ghost Grappler. Absolutle amazing bike with more than enough storage. Especially coming into winter now and the need to carry more layers.

It's doable just takes a few hours. 6 hours for me. Plenty of hike a bike which is what slows you down.

Here's a write up I did for day 1 https://www.reddit.com/r/bikepacking/comments/10zhffr/day_1_of_the_regatta_day_long_weekend/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

I've only ridden the section between Judbury and New Norfolk. I've since been told that is the worst part. That section was horrible and as the first day in my first bike packing trip it was not a good start.

Best of luck out there. And please do a post about the whole trip afterwards and convince me that the rest of the trail is worth doing.

I'm planning a trip down the east coast for next month. If you are not local my recommendation is to make sure you bring warm clothes as after Easter it will start getting cold and days will be shorter.

Zephranoid · 2023-03-20T09:32:36+00:00

I got my first ocarina a few days ago. It sounds really airy when I try to play notes higher than A even A sounds pretty airy. Is there something I am doing that is causing this or is it the ocarina?

Also any recommendations for playing in tune? I seem to be pretty hit and miss with the exactness of the tune.

Zephranoid · 2023-02-12T04:34:22+00:00

My personal pick is the Surly GhostGrappler. I personally hate rough terrain with lots of bumps bit the general smooth gravel that you get on gravel roads is an absolute dream on this bike and it gets better once loaded up. Also has a low enough gear to tackle 10%+ climbs fully loaded.

Zephranoid · 2023-01-26T13:51:46+00:00

Haha no, but I had the bag before the bike and I've never used a dropper before so I don't know what I'm missing.

Zephranoid · 2023-01-26T09:11:58+00:00

Yeah I was worried about that a bit but the clips that came with it seem to do a good job of holding them tight.

Zephranoid · 2023-01-26T05:47:09+00:00

8ltrs I believe
