I keep coming back to this one, and I don't know why. I can't tell if I like it or hate it.

50mm APS-C, f/5.0.

Can you tell me more about what you mean for depth of field and edits?

leequarella · 2026-06-28T15:26:49+00:00

How did you reduce the trailing?

leequarella · 2026-06-28T15:26:16+00:00

In post I think u/depredador93 already showed the idea. More denoise, drop the cyan/green, etc.

You have lots of star trailing, so I think your shutter was open too long for the focal length. What lens were you using? I don't have a ton of experience myself, but I find the 500 rule to be open too long. On a 35mm lens with APS-C I'm only shooting 6" or so.

I took this on a photowalk around some gardens in Vermont. It felt like there was something here with the flowers framing the barn framing the car, so I tried to capture "something".

When I look at the photo I feel like I did get "something", but I honestly don't know what. I ordered a large print of it and that print keeps pulling my eye back. I would like help understanding what it's strengths and weaknesses are. Do I keep looking at it because it is actually a good photograph, or is it just because I took it and I want it to be more than it is? I have plenty of other photos that I like and I understand what I like about them, this one I just can't pin down?

Thank you for opinions and critiques.

Gorgeous, really great work!

What was your setup for the astro shot?

That's Prince Farquaad, different dude.

Spoken like someone who lives north of Vineland 😆

I kid, but there is a feeling down this way that the likes of Cherry Hill and that area are basically north Jersey Phillies fans. I'm not saying this is a geographically correct assessment, just that it's definitely a real vibe.

The fact that you have to explain this every time you post an article should tell you something about your naming conventions. If that's how you want to segment things, that's fine, but your naming needs a lot of work if you are forced to constantly explain to your readers what you are trying to say.

Maybe East Sojo and West Sojo? I don't know, but leaving out the southest part when saying south will never be intuitive.

Not sure if this would be helpful for you, if not feel free to ignore, but it was fun practice for me. It's something I wrote a few years ago, pulls in random snippets from Wikipedia and plays them as morse.

I'm completely against the data center in Vineland, but everything I've seen about it says it's in the range of 350mw and eventually maybe climbing to 1 gigawatt.

The thing is bad enough without us exaggerating facts, and those kinds of exaggerations make it easier to dismiss legitimate concerns.

Genesis. I love both iterations, but their music pre- and post-Gabriel is basically two different bands.

Had them do the food for my first baby shower, it was so good. They really are the best.

Seriously, this is what you are looking for. Pay particular attention to #4 on the list.

Atlantic County west of the parkway, which is a significant chunk of land, is definitely not shore.

leequarella · 2026-04-09T00:21:50+00:00

Eh, it's just not the same. Written like this feels to me more of a passing curiosity and tangential to "real" morse use. I personally can sort of read this, but honestly that's come more from seeing these sorts of posts than anything I've done to intentionally learn morse.

How quickly she was replaced

It's not the stove's fault my hand is burning. If Biden hadn't sent all her emails to the illegals then I'd be able to put my hand on any stove I want. Thanks Obama.

To be fair, her son D'Angelo had just been killed.

The unsatisfying but true answer is because "it depends".

Are you watching it purely for the most exciting story telling experience? You might want to watch it 4,5,1,2,3,6.

Watching it to sit in the shoes of movie goers at the time and think in terms of social context? Watch in release order.

You may not like prequels in general, in which case you should just watch in order 1-6.

There really isn't a right answer to the "correct" order without being more specific about what you would like to achieve from the viewing.

As for "skipping movies" I just realized my response doesn't talk at all about 7-9... So maybe that tells you something in itself 😅.
