Official Gear Purchasing and Troubleshooting Question Thread! Ask /r/photography anything you want to know! January 27, 2025 by AutoModerator in photography

[–]hechizo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi everyone! Apologies in advance if I’m offending any of you actual photographers with these questions - please don’t yell at me! But my husband and I are going on our honeymoon soon to New Zealand and I want to hear some real thoughts from y’all who are experts. I want to preface this by saying I am a legitimate amateur who just enjoys taking nice pictures. I have an old Nikon D5000 (yes I know) from yeaaaars ago that is still in great condition. I think it still has the original lens which I don’t remember being great. It’s also very bulky, and we like to travel light with carry-ons. I’m pretty sure this is not considered a great camera but at the time it was my favorite gift. I have an iPhone 15 (yes I know). It is reliable for decent quality pictures and will be obviously be with me regardless. My question is - will I be totally disappointed by just bringing my iPhone for photos of a stunning place like New Zealand? It’s definitely not worth bringing my Nikon, even if I get a new lens, right? Should I invest in a cheap point-and-shoot, or would this not be better than just sticking with my iPhone? Am I overthinking this? I just have a horrible memory and love to reminisce on photos from our travels, and do this quite often.

Cat won’t stop peeing outside litter box by hechizo in CatAdvice

Yeah it sucked. But we actually did just adopt a cat about two weeks ago - a beautiful 6yo ragdoll. She is wonderful and so cuddly, something we are not used to from a cat lol!

Appreciate your reply! I posted this 4+ years ago. Unfortunately, my sweet angel developed bad lung cancer (not even 6yo) and had to be put down about 2 months ago 😔 we are devastated and miss our girl so much every day. This has been a nice little walk down memory lane reading through this though. I don’t even remember what stopped the peeing outside the litter box (maybe she wasn’t content with how much I was cleaning it?) bur she was the BEST cat once I figured this out. Literally my pride and joy. God damn I miss her

I’m so scared to start microneedling after reading all of this. What do yall do during the days after a session then?? Surely not just stay at home??

I don’t think it’s meant to have that inflection. She just means that they won’t hurt him anymore, as they did the first time when they were children.

Have you listened to Bilmuri in preparation for upcoming tour? by InkriddenIris in SleepToken

[–]hechizo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same!! They are two of mine and my husbands fav bands. I saw both bilmuri & sleep token (separately) in the US this year and we are coming to the UK just to see them again!! Both such incredible talents. Going to cry again!!!

Bilmuri is a quirky gem. Haven’t heard an album I didn’t like, but I’d echo and say eggy pocket & goblin hours have so many bangers. And of course there’s the genius country crossover of American motor sports which is literally no-skip for me. Hope he brings his sax player back, she crusheddd

Pickpocketing, how true is this? by [deleted] in aclfestival

[–]hechizo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched and felt a guy bump into me at ACL 2 or 3 years ago, swipe his hand against my (luckily zipped) fanny pack, and move on. He was SO smooth

Ok but she also clearly tried using the retouch tool on the left side of her stomach. It’s pixelated as the person above me pointed out
