...doing a USELESS seedling lift to support POINTLESS reforestation efforts in the SE region after Hurricane Helene damaged tens of thousands of acres of public lands. What a WASTE! This does nothing to increase the value of the President's stock portfolio.
Lol. I'm not a good photographer, by any measure, but /p/ need's more photo threads, and less gear threads. Everything seen here was shot using an Olympus OM-D EM-10 Mk IV and TTArtisan 17mm 1.4f. Best gift my wife has ever bought me. Photos with people in them are waterpixeled to protect their identities.
This is from this past week when I helped out with a yearly seedling lift. This year was White Oak, Northern Red Oak, Butternut, and a tiny amount of Post Oak. Since a week before most of the new technicians were fired for political reasons, this took a bit longer than it should have. Trees for the most part were grown from seed sourced from the forest that ordered the seedlings. Processing included sorting out cull-trees, trimming roots, and grading plant-able trees.
It was fun, but also kinda grueling. Temps were low, we had to keep the roots wet which ended up soaking your clothes, and you're not moving enough to generate body heat. Pretty satisfying work in the end. Most of these trees will die before maturity, but some will survive, and ensure future generations can enjoy them, for whatever use they are designated for.
Going to take me a hot minute to post every photo I took during the trip. Not everything is hardwood related as we got the penny tour of the tree nursery.
So I managed to snag what I feel is an excellent deal for my first DSLR camera ever. Originally retailing for $700 USD before it went on a special clearance sale, I only paid $290 (no sales tax!) for a brand new, never used Canon EOS Rebel T7 Premium Kit after combining various discounts. The kit includes the following lenses in addition to the body: EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II
EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III
It also came with a shoulder bag (200ES). Pic related is the box it all came in.
How did I do? For the price and the fact this is my first DSLR camera, would you say it was a solid purchase especially since it's not pre-owned?
I know nothing about photography besides some basic camera information. But, I do like looking at old photographs. So, I'm here making a thread asking everyone to post their favorite photos. Historic ones that mean a lot culturally, or ones that just meant a lot to you in times where you needed comfort. Here's mine.
I want to get into instant film photography. Is the Instax Wide Evo a good option? I watched a video comparing the chemistry and differences between Instax and Polaroid film, and I think I prefer the look of Instax film more but unfortunately the film offered by Fuji is a lot smaller than what Polaroid has to offer, which is why I'm considering getting this new Instax camera.
These are all from a trip I took in May. Went to Andalusia, Morocco, Italy, Malaysia, Bali, Thailand. Majority of the photos were shot with a Ricoh GR1 and the rest with a Nikon F100 C-41, E-6, and B&W all developed and """scanned""" at home with a D700. Oh, and all my film was exposed multiple times I just don't know how many CT scanners (the ones that ruin your film) I encountered
/fgt/ daily reminder (courtesy by anon): one stop per decade is (generally) bullshit >negative film ages better than positive >black and white better than color >slow films better than fast >storage conditions (dry/cool) matter more than years >Negative film is shot 1 or 2 stops overexposed and then PULLED in development so that you build more density in the exposure and develop less such that the fog is limited >slide/positive film is shot at box speed or overexposed and pulled. >if you home develop you can also use benzotriazole as a restrainer for the the first developer in E6 process
