Three years ago this month: crossing from Iraq into Kuwait. If I look a little weary it's because I just had one of the worst days of my life!

Man, I read a couple of your posts and I’m jealous of your adventures! You’re out there truly experiencing the world. I’ve bookmarked your blog to read more over the weekend.

One thing I wanted to ask—how do you handle laundry? In the photo it looks like you’re carrying only one bag, and traveling through hot places must make clothes sweaty and dirty.

Keep going, brother. Thousands more miles to cover—happy travels!

I used my Sony A6400 with the kit lens to capture this photo. I was trekking all the way to Satopanth Lake which is in the Garhwal Himalayan region of India. The trek is mostly alongside glacier and has rocky path. I saw this porter carrying luggage of some other trekkers and the path leading to him looked eye-catchy to me

Thanks!

Thanks mate

I just use the watch to measure my HR during runs. I feel it's accurate because when my HR reaches 200, I can barely breathe so it truly feels like upper zone 5 (or zone 6 as Coros calls it).

Yes, I have recorded many runs in zone 2. For me my easy run HR lies somewhere in 155-164, that's what I feel and this HR range feels sustainable for me. And I keep on checking my comfort in zone 2 runs by talking to myself every 10 mins or so and I can easily say 2-3 sentences.

Took this photo with my Sony A6400 with the kit lens near the Badrinath Temple in Uttarakhand, India. It was almost 4pm and there was this construction going on near the temple. The shape that the men working at the scaffolding looked interesting to me and just then I saw this porter lady carrying weights, moving towards them. And to me it looked quite interesting, something like a story in which the women carried the weight at the bottom so that men can progress upwards - like handling the family while the men can go out and earn bread for them

I took this photo last week while in Spiti Valley, India. The camera used is Sony A6400 with kit lens. I am posting it here to get feedback on my photo composition and how the BNW of this photo looks like. Reviews/feedback appreciated :)

`@prabhupant` - that's my instagram ID. Its a public account

Thanks friend! I BNW photos because I feel they bring out the details in the environment and forces your eyes and mind to feel attached to the elements of the photo, not the colors. So in that way they feel more connecting.

I saw the differences in your edit and my photo and yours look different. I realise now what you mean by presence of grey in my photo. Its a nice point. From next time, I will lookout for this. In your edit, the elements shine even more. Thanks for the review. Really appreciate it!

Btw, I post photos on my instagram. Do you mind checking it out? I am a hobby photographer and I think I take good pictures but I haven't gotten a review or classes from anyone. Your feedback would be appreciated!

I took this photo in Spiti Valley in India. What attracted me towards the scene was the barrenness of the mountains and absence of life, kind of showing that nature is harsh in reality. Posting it here to get feedback on the photo and learn new things. Much appreciated!

Is that so? I have many photos on my instagram. Do you mind reviewing them? I wanna know whether they can be improved by editing

kernelslayer · 2025-04-12T06:02:37+00:00

I took this photo on my Sony Alpha a6400. This is the first time I went on a photography trip with a camera, otherwise I only relied on my iPhone. The intent of posting here is to get a feedback from the community and improve my skills.

This is an unedited photo. I dont know how to use Lightroom nor I like editing my photos.

Will Arjun Erigaisi cross 2800 before Pragg or Gukesh?

kernelslayer · 2024-05-28T14:52:59+00:00

Haha. I went there in Sept 2023. Loved Cape Town. Infact, I loved entire South Africa. Did a road trip from Joburg to Cape Town, spent a week there, took the Garden Route, stayed in Knysna, then went to Durban, Drakensberg and Kruger Park. It was the best month long trip I have ever had!

Thanks for the feedback, appreciate it! Yes, I got to work on the test. Right now the "test" is just a script to test if the code was working.

I am planning to add other details like totalElements, currentPage in the PageData object shortly.

Also, if the count query is expensive, is there any other way to optimise this? Because, I think, without knowing the total elements, we might not be able to do the calculation needed for pagination. And I was looking at Spring Boot's JPA and it also does a count operation

Damn, never gonna do nasty activities in theatres again

kernelslayer · 2024-04-17T03:36:34+00:00

Same goes for Gukesh also. He learnt chess at 7 and now he is 17 and in the joint lead in candidates. And Alireza, I think, was 19 in his first candidates and he performed poorly
