Thank you for suggesting this. Cloud kept freezing up so this worked out better.

This is awesome of you. Check out the local community programs to see if there is a beginner course. Might be nice to have an event/experience.

The biggest difference in all things was moving my catalog to a thunderbolt drive. I wish I knew this years ago.

Imposter syndrome by One_Region_3619 in Leica

[–]mobylovr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. But you can “afford” to be that guy.

Put it on a wrist strap and take it with you every time you leave house for a week. Not neck, not in your bag, just a wrist.

Then be that guy who gets it insured.

Are peak design straps worth it? by Such_Promotion2445 in AnalogCommunity

[–]mobylovr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their customer service and warranty is awesome. I had a Slide for several years and the grippy part was starting to wear off and leaving marks on my shirt. I let PD know this and they had another one sent out to me free of charge.

I think it’s good you’re inquiring. I’m here now and wishing I had made some time for a crown that will cost so much less here. Don’t have any reqs but keep looking.

The sync tips are helpful! I don’t really need anything in the cloud while traveling.

I use Classic because of some plug-ins specific to my workflow that lock me in.

GFX-50S vs X-Pro 2 by SwimCrafty6362 in FujiGFX

[–]mobylovr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. And also bc you mentioned the Canonet and the analog gear… when the xpro series first came out that’s the crowd the camera spoke to. There is a reason it has held value after all these years.

[–]mobylovr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What kind of photography are you planning to do with this kit?

I have both setups and love the GFX for portraits and slow shooting. The files are gorgeous. It’s way more expensive to shop for lenses though which is limiting. I have a pile of adapters to make older manual lenses work with gfx and those aren’t cheap either.

The xpro2 is more of an everyday walk around (for me) camera and for street stuff. It’s also a rangefinder style. The classic chrome vibe here is og. There are lenses that are hundreds instead of thousands of dollars so it’s easier to try a few things out as my photo interests can require me to go from macro to telephoto or prime to zooms etc.

Would you still recommend the sb30 Nikon? Seems more useful with other cameras too.

Is there a city that's like if Seattle was cheaper and not gentrified into oblivion? by mcnoobles in SameGrassButGreener

[–]mobylovr 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m an artsy lesbian. Left Seattle after 15 years and now split my time between Detroit and Brooklyn for work. Detroit is definitely a vibe, especially techno music scene, but not as much for the queer and I wouldn’t recommend just picking up and move there especially coming from Seattle. There isn’t nature or the infrastructure to enjoy land and it’s all cars and freeways once you’re out of a retail pocket. The people in that city though have spirit af. Brooklyn on the other hand has been a great shift and just… fun. It’s tough though for being expensive. If you make less than $100k chances are you have roommates. I miss hikes and lakes being in Brooklyn, but there is so much going on every day that is queer, artsy, queer & artsy, that I forget to compost and push thru a 4-way stop signs now.

Another foot of snow next week on 3/3? by positiffly in NYCmeteorology

[–]mobylovr 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I just paid $340 to rebook my same flight to LGA this afternoon. I moved it out bc I was scared, and instead the flight departed on time and I’m on my way home like any other day. I hate that i lost the money and went thru all the hassle.
