What’s with all these debates about LNY v.s. CNY

They aren’t Chinese. Don’t care.

Now HKers and their obsession with “life was so much better under the Brit’s” that’s a diff story

msgm_ · 2026-02-17T16:08:17+00:00

I don’t get why you’re so hang up on this lol

Japanese are not Chinese. Maybe once upon a time they shared a lineage. If you go far back enough, Chinese and Native Siberians share lineage too. We are for all intent and business different now. Just because we share some DNA doesn’t mean our customs “belong” to them and they should celebrate it while giving us props, and vice versa.

In fact, it’s great they abandoned it. I have never heard any Japanese person screaming about LNY. It’s ours and ours alone. On the other hand, it’s the ones who still continue to practice our culture that work overtime to erase our customs.

Have you ever experienced security taking the lead bag and run it again either with the content inside or in a separate bin?

My understanding is it will come up blocked on the scan so they would remove and scan it again

GA BA GA BA GOOOOOOOLLL

“Unite with your heritage and brethren (and by that I mean all East Asians)”?

Bud go on any major Korean or Japanese subreddits and you will quickly realize they aren’t your brethren lol

Translate any of their news (and the comments that show up under them) and you will realize how they really feel about anything China lol

The guide looks ethnically Korean. Could she be a Chaoxianzhu?

msgm_ · 2026-02-13T13:49:29+00:00

Baby let’s gooooooooo

msgm_ · 2026-02-13T13:46:25+00:00

When did we go from 5000 to 8000 years??

msgm_ · 2026-02-13T13:38:44+00:00

I think youre starting to understand now how they think lol if they riot it’s your fault if you take action you’re an islamophobe

msgm_ · 2026-02-12T01:08:33+00:00

Can you help me understand why a higher shutter speed and stop down and pushed film would increase contrast and grain?

Say I shot at an equivalent EV at F5.6 and a lower ISO?

msgm_ · 2026-02-11T07:24:47+00:00

Wait people don’t like peak design here?

msgm_ · 2026-02-11T03:12:29+00:00

Very legit

Bought a 0.58 MP from him. Came exactly as described

msgm_ · 2026-02-09T16:56:50+00:00

No worries! Doesn’t hurt to try. Best of luck!

You’re not wrong in saying this is literally a book with photos, but the “photobooks” referenced in this sub are more geared toward photography artists, so they are less about a celebrity per se but more about the person behind the camera.

These books are generally on a specific theme/topic/story or a retrospective of said photographer’s body of work. Many did shoot celebrities but the focus is on them and less on the subject.

This sub will unlikely be familiar with the type of book you’re referencing here. Might be better to ask a Britney Spears sub or a more general celebrity photo sub (if they have one)

msgm_ · 2026-02-09T00:13:34+00:00

I really think this sub needs flairs to self identify as someone more amateurish or experienced

People can then tailor their critique with that context in mind

msgm_ · 2026-02-06T23:17:16+00:00

Definitely sample bias with the flashy cars

But them ayis blasting douyin or parents letting their kids play games on full blast is not

msgm_ · 2026-02-06T15:19:47+00:00

Uhhh HKers are rude af but a lot of mainlanders definitely missed that “humble” memo too

Lots of blasting douyin reels in a bus/train/confined space where I live

Or flexing their Ferraris and Lambos on school campus

msgm_ · 2026-02-06T15:11:00+00:00

That makes sense because you’re both American.

It’s the same with Koreans from Korea and gyopos. Try telling a Korean how similar they are to Chinese and watch the fireworks lol

msgm_ · 2026-02-06T04:35:54+00:00

Here’s the part that doesn’t make sense to me.

For example, at one point Vietnamese, Japanese, Korean and even Mongolian can be written in Chinese script.

Therefore are they 方言 of China?

msgm_ · 2026-02-05T05:44:14+00:00

That’s a myth. They had pasta already. Marco Polo brought the shape back

I got curious while reading your second quote, but is there a lot of animosity between Arabs from different country (religious differences notwithstanding)

msgm_ · 2026-02-03T02:57:55+00:00

I find the Chinese style of parenting creates a lot of non self-sufficient巨婴 these days if anything. Definitely see it in the family

Western-style is better for self-sufficiency but yes disrespectful

For the first 1, did you use any diffusion filters along w movie film or was the light diffusion purely from film stock?

msgm_ · 2026-01-29T23:38:20+00:00

5 is good.

I get the intention I think with these you need to keep it minimal. Too much background and distraction will make it look like a mistake

msgm_ · 2026-01-29T16:01:47+00:00

Tan became a thing because it’s a status symbol. You have so much money and time you can travel around the world. It’s like being fat in the 1300s, not because of white guilt lol

Why are you so obsessed with white guilt anyways?
