It’s a photo travel group, what did you expect? Hobby groups/communities are always ridiculous.

Years ago when I did weddings I would set up a camera outside and one inside, normies and bridesmaids would follow me like a flock of geese everywhere and take the same pictures, as soon as I went outside I would put that cam down and grab the one outside

All of their lenses would instantly fog because lol Florida 500% humidity and I would wait outside long enough for their cameras to equalize temperature then walk back inside and use the inside cam and watch their shit fog up again, was pretty funny desu

Word of mouth, I'm not socially anxious I'm probably the exact opposite. I have no filters and I bite my tongue for no one.

They are definitely not fake.

Pro-tip: the planned Missing Link Ares-IX test launch that was supposed to be the successor to the Shuttle before Constellation and Orion came out was launched atop a Shuttle booster with a modified top to carry all of the test equipment.

The program got canned in favor of Constellation and Orion, but a launch tower being built for it under contract was still being made. Because of contractural obligations, even though the program was cancelled, the tower had to be finished, it stands next to the VAB now while NASA figures out what to do with it.

Last shot at closing when half the people already fucked off, rest are going to their cars, only a few walk around.
Flashy McFuckface left with the crowd so I could take this last one.
It's an old iron forge in the middle of the forest.
Dead on because it is the biggest opening allowing to have the forge and the sky in the shot.

I saw a guy use yellow caution tape in Yosemite one morning to rope off an area to keep people from walking in to his shot.

Kind of a dick move but I'm sure this had happened to him too many times.

I don’t have much experience with long exposure but why are exposures as long as 10 minutes ever necessary apart from motion trails?

Bloody brilliant idea!

>>3158676
Smoothing out slow motion like clouds and water, plus separating the absolute still parts from the moving ones, like a building at the riverside or a morning landscape with slow clouds. Gives a very detached, eerie look. It is a special kind of composition for a few occasions.
