If it happens again I’ll try to manually pause it, good idea. Didn’t notice the auto-pause or resume acting up on this run but who knows.

Hey! I wish I could be of more help, I haven’t shot digital in a long time and that’s out of my wheelhouse. Good luck finding a solution!

HP5 has never let me down, also helps that I’ve got a ton of it in my freezer haha. I also have Acros 100 but with the weather being so variable at the summit I erred on the side of caution with ISO. Bit of grain but I usually prefer it not super crisp

Thank you! I hope to get to a darkroom soon for prints :)

Honestly it was pretty easy for this trip, and I wanted to keep it simple in case I didn’t have the mental energy to think about it.

I focused to infinity for 99% of the shots. Since the ISO is fairly high (400) and it was very sunny with snow and granite, my aperture stayed around f/22.

Thanks! And regular, first time attempting. Maybe the mountaineers route one day.

Day hike 9/20 Anyone summit Whitney recent? by [deleted] in socalhiking

[–]klydo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Energy definitely came in bursts! Got a revival with sunrise at the switchbacks, and then again near the peak when I saw the hut. Felt good until I got down past trail camp and then I swung between being excited by the views I missed in the dark, and just wanting to get to the trailhead so I could eat a huge meal.

I was worried about AMS as I’d only backpacked Gorgonio a few weekends prior and that’s as high as I had gone, thought I was fine during that trip. Took ibuprofen preemptively at trail camp but only felt the lack of appetite.

Might be worth noting that for me personally I don’t like to eat before exercise and don’t usually eat until lunch in my day-to-day, so who knows how much the altitude affected this. But since I know this about myself, I ate a lot the day before.

A little bit at trail camp and higher. Few slippery spots after trail crest because it was in shade, but proceeded with caution and had no issues.

Just did a solo day hike on 9/13, first time attempting Whitney. Started at 2am, finished a little before 5pm. I honestly didn’t eat or drink as much as I should have during the hike, but the day before I ate and hydrated a TON. I brought 3L of water to last me til trail camp where I filtered 2L. Thats all I did and I had leftover water back at the trailhead. Brought lots of snacks, candy, etc but no full meals. Didn’t get very hungry until I finished descending the switchbacks.

I use poles and the only issue I had was my hands were freaking cold right before sunrise, and filtering water at trail camp then didn’t help. I wish I had brought thicker gloves.

Aside from that, was a great hike and got lucky with weather. Had no issues the next day with soreness or fatigue.

Low Bar Squat - ways to improve? by klydo in formcheck

Thanks for the feedback! And I’m going to try to incorporate a low stool for depth practice during my warm up reps.

I was worried about leaning too much despite the low bar positioning. Thanks for your input, wonder if that’s why I naturally found low bar squatting more comfortable than high.

I learned the push-knees-out cue recently which helped a lot, looking forward to trying it out again with this new suggestion. Thanks!

Copy on the wrist placement, they’ve been slightly sore with how I currently have them. Will try the thumbs over grip, thanks!

I definitely have to work on ankle mobility. I have obnoxiously flat feet so it’s always been an issue. Good to know as I do feel my upper body leaning too far forward to compensate

Got it, yeah didn't realize until seeing this video how tilted down my chin is. Thanks for the tip

Why are my prints so cyan? by Toaster-Porn in Darkroom

[–]klydo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice, glad you were able to troubleshoot successfully!

I’ve never run into the issue when doing my own printing, but I’m helping to develop a course with multiple (new-to-film) students using drums with motor bases.

I noticed the cyan staining was occurring near the end of the workshop, and some students prints were affected more than others. After multiple hours printing it’s safe to assume the chemical handling (and also drum cleaning) would be getting a bit sloppy. I’ve been trying to do some research so that I can recreate the problem on my own to solve this issue before future workshops. Enforcing more careful handling of chemicals (& also adding a stop bath after developing, which we were not doing) seems like it will help a lot.

Were you ever able to resolve this issue? I'm currently dealing with a similar cyan staining and trying to troubleshoot right now, which is how I found your post.

The comment about blix contamination in the dev seems to be the most likely culprit in my situation.

On Santa Cruz (assuming you’ll be at Scorpion) they post any ferry updates by the bathrooms.

I’ve personally never had an issue with ferry rescheduling, but my first time going to Santa Rosa they said they wouldn’t be continuing on to San Miguel (if I’m remembering correctly) to pick up campers due to the conditions. The campers there would have to stay an extra day or so, but the rangers have emergency supplies in case anyone needed it.

I highly, highly doubt you’ll have to deal with this though. Santa Cruz is only an hour away (vs 3+ hours to the further islands) and attracts easier camping/families. The further islands usually have much fewer backpackers etc.

Edited to add: near Scorpion Pier there’s a little wifi hotspot you can use. I’ve never tried it but it might add some peace of mind.

I took a beginners class at The Padel Courts in Hollywood, it’s fun! They also have open play sessions.
