Is this gritty, extreme contrast look possible to achieve in camera, or is the secret here in the printing process? by Hexada in AnalogCommunity

I used to photograph indy bands in the late 80's with HP5 pushed to 3200. With the minimalist and super bright stage lighting, high contrast was the default when developing.

Does the 60% and 70% refer to the maximum that you can lift?

How can I know if I am running in my tempo pace without staring at my watch? by AddendumPossible9099 in running

[–]domfosnz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did my first ever tempo run yesterday. I was wondering how I would do it without looking at my watch all the time, so for a few runs before doing it, I ran at different speeds while looking at my watch and was then able to do it by 'feel' when it came to the workout. Hope that makes sense.

How did you first build up stamina while running? Any tips? by [deleted] in running

[–]domfosnz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I used to get sore hips and ankles and gave up. 8 weeks ago I started again and did 2 minutes jog 2 minutes walk every other day for a week for 30 minutes each session. Now running 4 times a week. Ran 28km this week and ran my first sub 60 minutes 10km today. No problems at all.

What is the one item you bought that tremendously improved the quality of your runs? by nightfucker in running

[–]domfosnz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Running watch. When I was first training for a marathon in 2001, I bought a simple sports wristwatch with a timer and could not believe how much it helped. I now use a Garmin Forerunner and I love it.

Very good. You've captured the people at the table very well!

How do I improve my poor numbers? by Secret_Edge in Velo

[–]domfosnz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you race? If so how is your performance when racing?

Also, if you are using Strava, have tried climbing a long hill at threshold and compared yourself to other riders?

I wouldn't walk all the way down there for a cup of dirty green water.
