That's awesome, I'd love to practice shooting with film, I met a guy once who'd always shot film, he retired when digital was just becoming a thing and I always admired his skill
I chat a lot of bollocks, you lot have become my therapist, basically. Appreciate y'all ๐๐ฅณ

I've served my time in the fiat mine and I'm taking a week out now to get the boat ready for winter and work on the computer without the distractions and mental exhaustion. ๐๐ฅณ
Hope you're all having a great start to the weekend ๐ป๐
Good morning #nostr - dank and miserable start where I am today but there's always coffee so that's good ๐โ๐ค
Just looked on the dead bird app, trying to get an idea of what's going on in world events, but the spam and lies and BS posts and constant repeats of the same video footage with different captions is making is useless for finding out information now.
Looks like rocket boy has finally managed to mangle the dead birds corpse beyond recognition.
Got an error trying to zap you guys too - said it couldn't resolve the address ๐

Just tried twice and got a timeout error both times, will try again later ๐
You're welcome, it looks like nostr:npub1gkgrsna9wxs5ggf5p5meu7jcjegs8vgyenp9a5dfkscfna5nrajqtrfmrz has your back for a proper step by step explanation
nostr:npub1cllf97qv29kqc493t6xj26kqw2qsxmvnf6sl7w0mpnv2plt8wumqta3zny is also a photographer afaik ๐
I like to dabble, it's been a hobby for years - for photographing your art I'd say lightning is the most important factor - unless you're going to sell prints of your work in a large size then the camera you're using there is more than adequate, especially if it's for sharing on line - most screens can't display the amount of information a decent digital camera produces anyway. Also, if you can on that camera shoot raw files just in case the cameras interpretation via jpeg is not what you're hoping for.

I'm curious about this - I never owned my own house, I had the chance to buy when I was young but didn't want to be tied down, always wanted to be free of obligations - that's what renting can offer. I think much of what is observed in this study has as much to do with mindset, attitude and outlook as anything else. That said, I have my yacht now, I don't rent, I'm able to stay on moorings or pay to stay in a marina, I have options and choices and that suits my way of being more than renting or buying ever could have.

That bloody mastadon bridge always displays the craziness over there. I'm assuming there is a modicum of sanity now and then on Mastadon...surely...
The pace and scale of the change is quite mind blowing - mind you, as more people are flooding to the city I'm glad to be able to reside just outside it's reach. Crapification is a good word to describe what I'm seeing this morning ๐ You're right about the small business thing too - there used to be a shop for everything around here, not any more though, they've all be converted to flats ๐
Thank you, I can pretty much guarantee I will, else I'll just end up cursing at the machine again ๐๐

I woke up in a part of town where I grew up this morning because it was easier to crash in town than try to get back on the boat.
I just took a wander around the streets where I spent the first 16 years of my life...and the pollution...๐คข๐คฎ
I was walking past tightly packed cars, some idling as people dropped kids off, some waiting to be able to pass in the narrow streets...and the smell is awful ๐ It's hurting my lungs just being here.
It must have been worse when I was a kid, sure, there were slightly fewer cars, but they had less filters so spewed more crap and everyone used to have an indoor fire so the chimneys would be spewing acrid black smoke up and down every one of the terraced streets I used to roam.
Long story short, I'm going back to the boat later and I can't wait to breathe that clean fresh sea air.
I'm not the biggest fan of electric cars, but the city of my birth could certainly benefit from an increase in their use. It kinda goes hand in hand with the fact this is the most densely packed city in the UK, even above The City of London (distinct from London the wider area).
If you read this far, thank you for giving your time and letting me ramble ๐ I hope your day is exactly what you want and your coffee cup is always full โโโ๐ค
