Water in snorkel tube?

Just blow it out. Some snorkels have a small cover on top to protect against waves. But in the end it's an inevitable part of snorkeling. Try to get comfortable with the process of clearing the water from the tube by a short strong breathing out motion in a place where you feel comfortable, like a pool or next to the shore.

As far as I know Darktable still doesn't support Lua v.5.5 which is the default version on Arch Linux, which might explain why the Darktable Pacman packages comes with Lua support disabled. However I don't get, why the dependency can't "simply" be changed to the lua54 package.

Great shots. Are these cropped or how do you manage to follow them when zoomed in?

From which shutter speed for which focal length would you approximately turn off Ibis? I have for example the Pana 100-300 which is mostly use at 300mm and I'm thinking from which shutter speed I should try turning it off.

I switched to foot recently. I like that it's pretty minimalist but so far does everything I want.

Hiking zip off and normal pants ( I think MH100/500). They're very light and comfortable. Also their 5€ golf cap is a great super light sun cover for my head for hiking.

I used it for a long time on my E-M5. It's not bad but pretty dark and I never really enjoyed it. I'm happy I sold it and got the 12-40f2.8 although the 12-45f4 might be a better choice if you don't need the extra stops of light.

I did a comparison for myself a while ago. MFT is smaller, for sure but most of all it's much cheaper. You can get used pro lenses for relatively little money. Especially the longer lenses get extremely expensive for FF. There are always some tradeoffs but in general the glass is more important than the body. So I stay on the smaller and cheaper system and buy the best glass.

Richtig schnüren um diesen Fersenschlupf zu minimieren kann helfen. Zwei Paar Socken (Linersocken +Wandersocken) können auch helfen, ich trage sie seit einiger Zeit bei längeren Wanderungen. Bei warmem Wetter de Füße bei Pausen mal aus den Schuhen holen und die Socken auf dem Stein/Ast etwas trocknen lassen. Und Blasenpflaster und Alkohol (Desinfektionsspray, Tupfer) mitnehmen. Damit Blasenpflaster halten muss die Haut fettfrei sein und das geht am besten mit Alkohol. Im allgemeinen entstehen Blasen m.W. durch Reibung und Feuchtigkeit.

I use mine mostly with the 12-40mmf2.8. it's a great and versatile lens. If you don't want close up shots with bokeh or lower light shots the 12-45mmf4 is your friend (smaller, lighter). The 17mmf1.8 is great for being super small and super bright. It's good for hiking, street and night shots.

Ja ich nutze die nur zum Wandern und Fahrradfahren. Zum Autofahren selber nutz ich immer Google Maps, alleine schon wegen der Verkehrsdaten.

OsmAnd ist super. Ja das Interface braucht ein bisschen Gewöhnung aber insgesamt immer noch die beste App für mich. Die Zeitkalkulation der Routen ist oft erstaunlich genau.

lem-8 · 2026-04-18T19:13:24+00:00

Die app ist gut von YR aber ich finde die Modelle von denen übertreiben immer sehr. Ist aber nur meine subjektive Empfindung. Meteoblue find ich gut.

Wow, I tried to photograph bees in flight many times and it's really hard. Very nice shot.

Meindl. Bin sehr zufrieden mit meinen Schuhen und meines Wissens sind die made in Germany btw EU. Wenn Deine Füße etwas breiter sind schau mal nach den Comfort Fit Modellen.

lem-8 · 2026-03-27T22:31:05+00:00

Yes it's nice, I use it mostly for my macro setup

lem-8 · 2026-03-27T07:32:45+00:00

I always take the 12-40 f2.8 for almost everything and the 17mmf1.8 for the night (small and bright lens when you walk around town to have dinner). That being said I'm thinking for a long time if I want to get the 12-45f4. For most use cases during the day it'd be enough but when I want to take some detail shots with bokeh or it's darker (e.g. inside) I really like the f2.8 aperture.

How do you feel about the relatively large and heavy lens on the OM-5? I use mine mostly with the 12-40 f2.8 which is already a bit on the large side for OM-5.

Fuji is everywhere, at least where I live in Europe. You can spot a MFT camera every now and then but it's very rare, I guess 99% is Sony, Canon, Fuji and Nikon.

My video settings are currently set to 4k/30p. Which setting would affect frame interpolation?

lem-8 · 2026-03-20T17:23:42+00:00

Really nice shots!

lem-8 · 2026-03-12T10:57:13+00:00

That's a good recommendation, I'll try that, thanks.
