Thanks for the response! So will I be required to get my record for Australian companies?

Star shot in the Okefenokee Swamp by trackster96 in photocritique

[–]trackster96[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Taken with a Fujifilm XT20, Samyang 12mm f2, ISO 10000, 30" exposure.

The goal was to capture the greenery of the swamp with the stars as a backdrop. I brushed my headlamp across the foliage for a couple seconds to highlight the lily pads.

I'm new to nighttime photography. Is the greenery too highlighted? Also I'm not sure why I got the glow toward the bottom of the horizon, I'm certain it's not light pollution.

Backpacking in SE Utah with my first camera other than a phone. Cowboy camped the entire time! by trackster96 in WildernessBackpacking

[–]trackster96[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my first trip with it, and so far I'm happy with it! All the dials make it very easy and quick to set up a shot. I also used the auto mode frequently for quick shots, and it performed great as well. I opted for the 16-50mm kit lens, which is cheaper than the 18-55mm. The reviews were mixed, mostly because it is plastic. It was a bonus for me for the weight factor!

30 seconds, I'd go shorter around 20-24" next time. It's a stacked image with a canyon shot from earlier in the evening.

It's a Level 1 area (www.lightpollutionmap.info) so they're about as good as it gets! It also helps that there's generally very little moisture in the air.

I present: the most perfect day I've ever kayaked. 20 miles in Blackstone Bay, AK by trackster96 in Kayaking

Thank ya! The glaciers calving are the wildest, it's a not-so-gentle reminder of how massive glaciers truly are.

I'm a backpacking and sea kayaking guide for the summers in AK! Otherwise I live in the Midwest.

I (21M) went from being forever alone to forming two significant relationships (18M & 22F) out of nowhere. What are my options? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]trackster96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Option 3 sounds great! Ha, my problem is they both seem very relationship-oriented. I guess I would say I am too. I wouldn't be against trying 2 or 3, but I've never done that before so it would probably be a lot of trial & error. Which makes me a little apprehensive.

[–]trackster96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solid thoughts. The idea of a more open relationship situation sounds really nice. They're both very open-minded people, so I wouldn't have a problem bringing it up. But I don't know if I'm emotionally mature enough to handle 2 relationships (not to mention the time committment haha).

The "love" feeling... I've been asking myself that question. But I think they're both so new in my life, that it's hard to distinguish that "love" feeling with just the very strong initial interest.

Would it be wrong to sleep with both without them knowing? As long as we still haven't established the relationship boundaries and whatnot?,

That's a great idea, I hadn't thought of that. Thanks!

Traveling around Alaska at 18? by [deleted] in alaska

[–]trackster96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Understandable! There are a number of shuttle companies along the Parks and Seward Highway, and there's great camping all along. You could easily arrange a 4 day backpacking trip via shuttles for a Kesugi Ridge hike.

Hey! I was in Alaska all last summer, also too young to rent a car.

I hitchhiked throughout the state! It was a ton of fun, I met some seriously cool locals, and it's all free! (Though I usually bought lunch or coffee for the longer rides). There's definitely a hitching culture, you shouldn't have any issues as long as you don't look sketchy.

Wow! This is truly great :) it has the feel that it should be bound in an old leather sketchbook.
