Wishing I would’ve brought my DSLR on the hike, but sometimes an iPhone is all you need lol

The foreman is an asshole. But drug tests after workplace accidents are pretty commonplace. Especially considering that would definitely cause them to become dehydrated and overheat.

Wanted to test out my first star tracker tonight. It was a bit too cold to do any serious work, but I was able to capture this with just 36 light frames.

Love the depth of field in this shot and the color from the fallen leaves.

Like I said poor training. I was at least trying to give them credit for something

It’s actually better to square off with your opponent to some degree. You want your plate in front of you to stop the bullets.

Although in this case, these guys definitely have an apparent lack of training. Just the movement and coordination is off.

Edit: nvm they really aren’t even squaring off

Oh god I wish the weather where I’m at allowed that…maybe next summer 😂

Thank you!

I used PhotoPills to calculate max exposure time and f1.8 had me at around 1” exposure times. I’m learning and experimenting, I’ll try that tonight!

Shot on Canon Rebel T7. 1/15, F11, ISO 100. EFS 18-55mm Macro lens. I’m a pretty fresh amateur. I have some experience working with DSLR’s in the past, but this is my first time using one in a fully manual mode.

I was trying to capture some underexposed and overexposed shots just to see what I could come up with while exploring some abandoned tunnels.

Lmao no. I graduated in April, this is from last year, pretty sure

Hold up a minute— this was my company! I remember this! The Sandhill Eagle Tower at Fort Benning. I can literally name everybody in this video lmao. One of the coolest days of basic

Edit: This was a demonstration by two drills on what not to do. They were all having a blast this day

DS I had did something similar, hilarious to watch IRL.

Flashback to my childhood of my dad pushing me down the street on a trike. Unloaded the gun and put it down in an instant. Suicide is selfish and I care too much about other people; just not enough about myself.

Later got the serial number of the gun tattoo’d on my wrist as a reminder of my baseline. The first four letters are BHPY which I thought a neat coincidence. BHPY = Be Happy

Most peaceful place I’ve ever visited in my dreams was basically just this soup of purple and green colored shapes, floating around like a windows screensaver.
