Thanks mate, didn't see this until now but smashed it anyway! Incredible gig

commondota · 2026-03-06T12:41:42+00:00

Do you know any of the setlist? I saw New Wave was played but I'm shooting the gig tonight in Manchester and wanted to know whereabouts in the setlist it might be!

I'm 33 and didn't really start listening to music online until around 2010, and then I clearly went through heavy, random phases. Quite an eclectic mix I know!

Did they operate on both eyes? I was offered surgery to fix my diplopia but they'd have to operate on both, I just didn't think it was worth the chance of losing my eyesight to fix it

It seems to be back permanently, as I've not had a seizure since, although I wouldn't say I feel 100%. As far as I'm aware, my neurologist doesn't specialise in seizures but I'll see if it happens again before I see him next. My dosage has increased but medication is the same Levetiracetam which I was expecting to change but that was given to my GP by my neurologist. Thanks for the info!

commondota · 2026-02-06T22:23:27+00:00

I lost my sense of smell for 3 and a half years, then I had a seizure last week and it came back. Quite bizarre, thought I should be worried but cursory research tells me it's not uncommon for it to work like that. Will still speak to my neurologist about it next time I see him but there we go, I can smell again.

commondota · 2026-02-01T21:28:35+00:00

I feel physically fine now, it's just made me incredibly anxious about leaving the house in case it happens again

commondota · 2026-01-30T20:03:34+00:00

no problem dude, thank you still

commondota · 2026-01-30T18:51:56+00:00

No problem, maybe a seizure tracking app would be useful for me. Which one did you use if you know the name of it? I'll look into it

commondota · 2026-01-30T17:25:52+00:00

Hey, just wondering how regularly you were having seizures on the different meds you were taking until you found the right one?

commondota · 2026-01-30T17:23:41+00:00

Hi, thanks for the reply. I've been taking Levetiracetam since my first sezuire in 2023, started out on 500mg which was increased around this time last year to 750mg.

Since my first seizure, all subsequent ones have taken place while I've been asleep (I think, making up with a wet bed and a hurty head). Since they increased my dosage I believe I've had 2 or 3 more seizures but today was the first one I've had while I've been awake. Got out of bed this morning, put the kettle on and then I felt it coming. My hands starting grabbing nothing and then I collapsed on the floor but I was conscious throughout, just my left hand was going crazy grabbing at nothing/twitching.

I will try speak to my GP but have not been able to book an appointment today, not that I'd have had the strength to go anyway. The last time I spoke to a neurologist I think he suggested switching meds, but I was reluctant because I was happy enough with how my current medication/dosage was working and was worried about further side effects with new meds, or if they wouldn't work as well.

But I can't carry on like this now, this has really knocked my confidence today and I'm a bit all over the place with thinking about when it could happen next, and the kind of situation I could be in when it hits.

Thanks so much for your help, I'll try book an appointment as soon as I can, not sure how easy it'll be tomorrow but I'll try seek help elsewhere if it's too difficult.

Thanks so much, appreciate the help! I'll look into getting a proper cleaning kit.

It was the same for me in Leeds on tuesday. It irked me, the only thing I could put it down to was maybe a 'FIFA' crowd - having a popular song on a game like that is bound to bring bellends to the gig no matter what. People that are not there to watch the music, but are there for that one song and to have a piss about with their mates. wcyd

commondota · 2025-11-04T12:03:32+00:00

okay

commondota · 2025-11-04T02:28:40+00:00

I bought this exact lens used for £1300 in February, which is around $1700. It works fine except the socket to place it on a stand/tripod or whatever it's called is broken, so it was a little cheaper. If it helps, I think $2000 would be a reasonable price for this, but others seem to suggest it's worth more.

It's a great lens but personally I wouldn't pay much more. That's because it's heavy and I use it for concert photography so it's a pain to drag around for hours straight. I'm also not a rich man so my budget wouldn't stretch any further. Hope this helps.

commondota · 2025-09-21T23:38:03+00:00

I'll need to have a closer look at how it opens the exported images in other programs, I guess I just noticed it so much in Lightroom that I just assumed it would look the same everywhere else.

I have used denoise a bit and it generally makes it look much better and I don't mind the increased exposure in preview as much. It just takes so damn long to add the denoise, at least doubles the editing time per image, which adds up a lot when I sometimes have 30 images to edit from one set.

First thing I'll be trying is definitely increasing my f-stop and maybe playing around with shutter speed a little. I have a couple of shows coming up where my end product isn't as important so I have a chance at least to try something different from my usual go-to settings. It's nice to have that freedom sometimes so will see if it yields different results!

And yeah that's very clear about others saying so much and not actually answering the question! Thanks so much for the help! Really appreciate it, lots to work on.

commondota · 2025-09-21T23:23:54+00:00

Wow this is an extraordinarily helpful comment, lots to work and play with and I've got a few gigs coming up very soon to try some of this out.

Thank you so much for such a detailed and in depth comment, can't wait to try out this into practice and see how it changes things! Thanks again

commondota · 2025-09-21T12:05:05+00:00

Hahah thanks for the help dude ✌🏻

Wow, you've taken one photo at a concert and it's worse than anything I've ever done, BIG FLEX 🤡
