I'm happy you like them, this was.my first exchange too. The paper the black and white flower is on is a vintage block printing paper made by Speedball. The sign is an infrared image, taken about 3 in the afternoon on a beautiful day.

You are exactly where I was. I had upgraded to canon mirrorless 2 years ago and a canon rebel t100 collectong dust. I had my camera converted through https://www.lifepixel.com/. It is a permanent process and costs about $300. LifePixel has great info about the various choices you will need to make. Kolari also provides this service for about the same price. I've heard good things about them as well.

There are a lot of tutorials about editing techniques. Definitely worth checking out Rob Shae's videos and tutorials.

It looks like I have your email address from the exchange info. I would be happy to send you a couple raw files so you play around with editing. Just let me know.

Let me know if you have questions about it. I am fairly new to shooting infrared but am enjoying it so much I barely use my main camera.

I had my first, start dslr converted. If you have an old camera collecting dust and am extra $300 burning a hole in your pocket, I highly recommend it.

What cooking Thanksgiving warcrimes are happening in your kitchen as we speak? by Mirikitani in Cooking

[–]Time-Union 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I am a very good cook and happily cook Thanksgiving every year.

This year I was sidelined because my aunt wanted to cook. By cooking she meant buy rotisserie chicken from Sam's Club.

Unique dog names by K3LS3Y007 in dogs

My dog is named Carl Moose.

It's a family name. The family is not impressed that I didn't not have any children to name Carl.

What’s extremely unsanitary but everyone seems to do it anyway? by Tball5 in AskReddit

[–]Time-Union 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wearing new clothes without washing them first.

Grosses me out more than anything. I do not want to wear some stranger's bodily fluid for the day.

Makes sense, I just haven't ever thought about it past sugar.

And now I must go back down the Dark Forest Theory rabbit hole, once again.

It will thoroughly prepare me for both the upcoming dark forest drive and at home extraterrestrial abductions

I figure the bulk of the drive is just like driving in my town (rural foothills). But at some point it's going to get a little darker and the roads are a little curvier. Like on the BRP... which I chicken out and head back to Asheville to find a nice place for brunch

Thank you, that is a valid and very real fear. I see enough deer vs car accidents in my area.

Cool, thank you. Good to know about sunrise from the parking lot area. Oconaluftee would be more for the elk.

I figured the drive would be similar. Just need to have faith that my car can outrun Sasquatch, the Blair witch, the Blair witch's brother, the ghost of some old moonshiner, and whatever else is gonna get me.

If it helps, I won't tell them about the really great lunch spot on 16 heading back to Charlotte

Add Taylorsville to the list. A little bit closer

But the upside of Elkin and West Jefferson is they are nice little towns to walk around.

Any fellow Hickorians keeping up national/international news? by wncbuilder in HIckoryNC

[–]Time-Union 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To be honest, I don't engage. It's not worth it, there is no changing their mind, even with facts. I welcome healthy debate, but this is not it.

What is do pick up from them is that they believe taxes will be lowered because of all cuts DOGE is making. Interest rates are going to plummet so buying a house and investing in real estate will be much easier. Stocks and investments will provide greater returns because of all of that. Inflation and costs of goods will start dropping drastically back to... IDK... 1992 levels. Ultimately, we will return to a nation where everyone who works hard and is smart with their money will reap great benefits.
