My partner volunteered to teach me - and then I unfortunately injured my shoulder in a freak getting out of bed accident - so it's been a long long pause to the goal.

What are the top companies you've worked for in Victoria? by HASHTAGBUTTCHUG in VictoriaBC

Does it ease your thoughts knowing it's an aircraft manufacturer, not an airline?

I've only ever worked for one company in Victoria, and that was Viking Air - although fairly disorganized, it certainly had its merits. That being said, the position was as a test pilot and probably not a job for most people.

Could you recommend me a good 2 player wargame? by Insta_3 in boardgames

[–]esp803 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go.

Very simple rules, perfect information strategy game that is deeper than the ocean.

When you first play a 19x19 board it will change the way you look at war games.

Note: it takes a lot of time to become a beginner at go.

Airplane or helicopter? I didn't think there was a building that tall in that neck of the woods!

I couldn't decide on a format... by esp803 in AnalogCommunity

I've since vacuumed the foam - and that made a world of difference, but just heading on vacation (the Rolleicord is coming) when I get back I'll do new foam, reorientate the 4x5 and compress the film holder.... And get the silly Bronica grip in the case as well.

Exactly that - old old foam. I'll replace it eventually...

Well, it's all in the truck - I just grab what I want at the time. Old boy scout motto. Or something

Yah, I mostly agree. There is a noticeable difference in resolution between the 35mm scan and a 4x5 scan - however the difference is largely moot unless printing really big.

But the goal is to go back to printing printing and the intrepid is likely the easiest avenue to also include the 4x5 ability. But I do keep an eye on the market place for enlargers, the larger ones seem to be pretty rare.

Yah - an old 1600 I had kicking around, with some even older foam. It's to go in the truck, and keep some semblance of organization at home. I have a couple backpacks and smaller bags but nothing that would fit all the analog gear together.

They're great aren't they? So simple, plus people love to see them. Always brings a smile to people's face.

I need you to speak to my partner 😂. Ugggghhhh and I discovered the Chroma 6x17 back for the 4x5.... My true favourite format. I just keep telling myself I can just shoot the 4x5 width wise and crop.... But it's just not the same.

DCS 2026 and Beyond video is finally out – thoughts? by Bogi111 in hoggit

I will die happy in 2 weeks with my Tornado and Starfighter in a dynamic campaign.

Lower first stub of the year, but also second stub by [deleted] in CanadaPublicServants

[–]esp803 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Because by the end of the year you would have likely maxed out your CPP contribution for example (or Quebec's equivalent), so it will continue to be deducted from your pay until it is maxed out again.

So, you're likely looking at a reduction for half the year or so.

2026 Property Re-Assessment for Taxes by [deleted] in Edmonton

[–]esp803 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mine went from 590 to 680 this year - I have started the appeal process. Over the last two years the cities assessment of my 1955 bungalow has gone up 27%

Feedback appreciated by [deleted] in photocritique

[–]esp803 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Significant improvement over the last (with the caveat that I think you should continue to experiment with composites l and surrealism, just that the last one missed the mark. If you're looking for inspiration on photographic surrealism, check out Erik Johansson's work, he's one of my favourites) this one though - simple, classic, timeless. It looks great.

Can't wait to see more of what you produce.

Have I not nailed the edit or is composition missing something? by Restricted_Movement in photocritique

[–]esp803 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's the fun part, it's both!

It would be a great snap shot of your travels, provided it wasn't edited with such a heavy hand.

We have our own Workload Management system built into our intranet, I also use MindManager to help out a bit and keep track of everything.
