I used to be part of the ancient discord before it got raided, i used to be part of the telegram groups before they died.

i did like those groups a lot.
So let us have another go at it.

I didn't think much of it at first. My screen just turned dark blue, and for a moment, I thought it was just a glitch. But then it lingered. It didn't go away, no matter what I did. I restarted the device, checked the cables, but nothing worked. The screen stayed this eerie shade of deep blue, like it was trying to tell me something. I took this photo without editing it. It's exactly how it looked at the time.

I didn't think anything of it, until strange things started happening. My devices—phones, computers—began acting odd. Apps crashing. Pages flickering. And that same dark blue screen appeared again. This time, it was different. It felt… alive. Like something was on the other side, waiting to come through.

Have you ever seen this happen? Or is it something far worse?

Random photos you took at night

Sometimes thinking that we are in the middle of cosmic space on a gigantic flying piece of land is bizarre, it doesn't make sense, Madness and sanity are different.

I want to film a Timelapse of a plane trail, contrail, chemtrail, whatever it may be. Just to show that they are turning clear sunny days, into a haze. Not quite overcast but a light haze enough to cover the entire sky.
I have witnessed trails starting small; as you would see coming from the plane, and slowly grow and grow. They don’t disappear; just getting wider and wider until it all blends into one big hazy sky.
I’m going to assume wide angle is the best lens.
As for location is the top of mountain going to be my best bet?

This is a weird question, but do any of you use your car as a photography platform, like Ansel Adams?

>it now cost $20 to develop film only with no prints or scans
AHHHHHHHHH

Where do you hire models these days? It used to be that you could just go on modelmayhem but that shit's been dead for years. Presumably there's hoes on instagram or whatever, but you can't even search using # anymore, so that's no good either. So what's the scoop?

You find yourself trapped in a foreign country for 6 months.
Due to some unfortunate disaster - you can only spend this time with either a 15mm lens or a 200mm lens.
Which way are you going?
