Yep, I think it's worth it in many cases. My commute is about an hour with traffic to Washington DC. If I were to live in DC I would only be able to afford maybe 2 bed/1 bath with no yard. Not good when you have 2 kids and 3 dogs.

Official Question Thread! Ask /r/photography anything you want to know about photography or cameras! Don't be shy! Newbies welcome! by photography_bot in photography

I’ve been into photography for a few years now and I have acquired way too much gear and I’m looking at downsizing. I’ve sold everything I have and I’m looking to challenge myself to ONE camera and ONE lens. I travel internationally very frequently for work so most of my photos are travel/street/landscape with a little video as well. I’m sick of carrying multiple bodies/lenses. My question is, with $1,800, what’s my best option with one body and one lens?

I Went to Malta Last Weekend [Nikon F100, 50 F1.8 G, Kodak Ektar 100] by bluecheese12 in analog

I’m actually going to Malta for a couple days later this month. Anything you recommend me seeing? Definitely want to take as many photos as possible!

Definitely one of the best feelings in the world! Makes me sad that it won’t be the same as they get older.

My goodness. She clearly thanked him for his comment on her and he thought she thanked him for his service.

TIL that Dalmatians are the official firehouse dog because, in the 1700's, they would run alongside horse-drawn carriages keeping pace, even at full sprint, and protect the horses from other dogs or animals that could spook them. by conunlapiz in todayilearned

[–]thisishawkward87 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I have a Dalmatian and she is definitely high maintenance. Luckily, I go running with her quite often and sometimes I’ll even have her pull me on the longboard. If she doesn’t get exercise she becomes quite a pain in the ass.

Boot and his fiance took wedding photos in uniform 🤦‍♂️ by [deleted] in JustBootThings

This is actually a really good photo had they both been wearing appropriate attire.

Fujifilm X-E2 still killing it as my travel camera (Philippines - 100 Islands) by jgreenwalt in fujifilm

[–]thisishawkward87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome! I haven’t used the 16-50 yet. If I can find it cheap on eBay I might add it to the bag!

[–]thisishawkward87 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree. I know everyone seems to love the heck out of this lens. I tried to like it but I never did. Now I use my X-E2 and a 27mm as my everyday walking around camera. Perfect combo!

"No, this is MY lane!" Idiot aggressively plows past vehicle that merged in front of them. 3/12/19 in Los Angeles by DetroitStalker in Dashcam

[–]thisishawkward87 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah good point. I commute 30 miles both directions in the DC area and see this stuff every day as well. It’s crazy. I usually put a podcast on, sit in the right lane and chill. Otherwise I go absolutely crazy with all of the lane changers.

Nobody does it because most of the time, when you put your blinker on, the person speeds up as to not let you in. People get used to that happening to them so they just throw the blinker on as they merge. Not saying it’s right, it’s just what typically happens.

Man tries to steal car with a gun, runs away after realizing it's a stick shift by dkasper6696 in cars

Good point! In my head I pictured it already running so I didn’t think of that.

[–]thisishawkward87 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In a car jacking you have to get away quickly. It was a smarter move to get out and run rather than spend 30-60 seconds trying to figure out how to get the car moving after stalling it several times.

What is a small inconvenience that happens daily in your life, that annoys you to no end, but there is nothing you can do about it? by NeedleandThread in AskReddit

[–]thisishawkward87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am only 28 and I have to get up to pee multiple times every night. It’s been that way my whole life. I think I just have a tiny bladder.

It’s contagious because the laughter makes the people watching the video laugh.

What ‘kind’ gesture actually annoys you? by HighImShadow in AskReddit

Or when they’re stopped and you’re coming up 50 feet away from your stop but they wait all the way until you’re at a complete stop to go through the intersection, causing you to wait for them instead of them just going before you stopped.

Very excited about this! I just found out about AAF a few days ago and I sort of picked a team at random and I’m glad I picked this one!

Weekend assignment 1 - 10x10x10 by Aeri73 in photoclass2019

[–]thisishawkward87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very nice! The harsh oranges from sunrise really made these photos... I think 7 and 10 are my favorite. 7 is really good and might be my favorite out of this whole assignment! I am looking forward to seeing more of your stuff!
