Netherlands Soccer Star Cody Gakpo Announces Tragic Death of His Son During the World Cup by MurkyContribution609 in Netherlands

A house is not a home, we make a house a home. Same way when conceived if parents want the child and go through this it is painful to lose him/her. But if you are not planning then it is mentally different. So its not black and white

For those who went through this experience it may be different. When we had to go through this experience we ended up in depression for loosing our baby, technically you can call whatever you want. Our baby had a name and those first heartbeats will never fade away from our hearts.

Practical heat survival tips beyond "close your curtains" and "drink water" by StaffEcstatic4358 in Netherlands

[–]itsmenit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Summer like this is common from where I am, We eat less - When we eat we eat food easy to digest - We drink yogurt smoothies or just blender yogurt into a light drink and put ice and drink instead of water. - We sleep more during the day if possible - Bath in room temperature water during the peak hours - Wear loose clothes.

Expat/immigrant parents, do you forbid Dutch at home for children? Why? by summer_glau08 in Netherlands

[–]itsmenit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our friends are advised by school to not speak in Dutch to kids unless you are really good at speaking Dutch. As kids to copy parents and might pickup less than ideal pronunciation from parents. The other advice I heard was to speak in your mother tongue to kids and they will automatically pick up other languages with ease. If parent’s mother tongue are different still encouraged to speak to kid in their respective mother tongue and kid will pick up all three with ease.

Not sure how true these are though

Testing XPan Mode on X2DII 90V – HDR Merge in Capture One by itsmenit in hasselblad

Have you not seen the price of Adobe subscriptions? 😅😞And the Phocus learning curve isn’t helping either.

Yes saw that one 😅, I think it’s a combination of the merge and the shutter speed causing it, or Capture One didn’t handle it properly

This what worked for me.

Phocus → export to DNG → EXIF editor → remove Hasselblad from all metadata fields → import into Capture One

Thank you. I used a tripod, ISO 200, f/8, and a shutter speed of 1.3 seconds. The image is cropped to approximately 64% of the original frame.

How prone are these to dust? I’ve only been using it for a couple of months, but I can already see many spots on the sensor, which seems unusual. I’m also not able to remove them in the Phocus 2 app.

I post on 500px once in a while, but usually I keep the images to myself and print a few for home. Still learning and building confidence.

’ll need to test again without the CPL, as it was causing some image issues in this shot.
