ArianaGrande , in That time I went on the world's largest indoor Ferris wheel, and it was just as underwhelming and weird as it sounds.

Dude, is the hole still burning?

Like after a good vindaloo meal. But they’ve built a fence around it now, so it feels a bit less wild, I would imagine.

Goodness that looks expensive. Makes sense, Ashgabat is known for decorating well.

Very nice!

Touching_Grass , in That time I was in Abu Dhabi on their national day, and it was too hot for people to be walking, so they sent their air force on a parade through the city center instead.

I got to visit there once and something I never understood was why the whole city seemed to go home in the evening and the return in new clothes

To be fair, “hammered” is more accurate. You had my interest piqued though, with “punched”. I was half-expecting some ancient Shao-Lin kungfoolery. Still, impressive and a neat effect, I agree. 🤙🏼

Kittybeer OP ,

Ha! That’s funny. I almost said “pierced” but went with “punched” instead. I think that word was in my head after reading this: “A close inspection of the following photograph from the lower temple illustrates that the holes were ‘drilled’ and not just randomly punched as one might assume.” from a website I just read: www.ancient-wisdom.com/maltamnajdra.htm because I couldn’t remember which temple I took this picture at.

Ok, I’ll bite. Where did you grow up that you have never seen snow?

What was underwhelming? Nothing much to see around from the top?

I’m not so sure, I better go check for myself!

Mighty , in Bird of Paradise, Mexico City

Okay this is creepy. I just saw one today and Googled it, now this shows up on my dash.

Great picture though

We have these (non-natively) around here as well, but I wonder if they have evolved for hummingbirds?

Zeth0s , in Milan, Italy

Spend 1 hour in piazza duomo and nearby area. After that leave. There’s nothing else worth visiting in Milan (it’s also one of the most polluted city in the world).

Signed: every italian in the world born outside Lombardy

xionzui ,

As someone who just left there and was concerned I missed something good because I didn’t see much other than that, that’s good to hear. I will say the central station is also very impressive

Zeth0s , (edited )

It’s “fine” for Italian standards. Saint Peter in Rome is very impressive, for instance. But we might be spoiled…

Milan isn’t worth the time spent there, unless you are a 20 something looking for beautiful girls. In that case Milan is surely worth the time

IMALlama , in How to I batch convert .CR2 (raw) photos to JPEG?

Yes, it can be done with dark table! Do any edits you want, apply those edits across as many images as you want (you can do this on the light table UI) and then bulk export via the light table UI. I can provide more detailed instructions tomorrow if you need them. Screen shots will be from windows though.

gonzoknowsdotcom1 OP ,

yes, please if possible

IMALlama ,

First time trying a reply with multiple imgur hosted files. Let’s see how this goes. Note that this is… very abridged and assumes you know your way around Dark Table editing otherwise. If not, there are tons of posts and videos on that.

Note that if you don’t edit the raws and export them as is, they will probably look… very flat and boring.

Step 1: click add to library Image

Step 2: navigate to the directory containing your images and hit add to library Image

Step 3: after you’re done with your edits, you can copy the “history stack” across images. Note that this only really works well for groups of images taken with very similar exposure settings, lighting, scenery, etc Image

Step 4: select the image(s) you want to export, configure your export settings, and click export Image

gonzoknowsdotcom1 OP ,

thank you

IMALlama ,

No worries! Hopefully you’ve processed RAWs before. It can be a bit of a learning curve to get them looking “right”, but some of the out of the box things dark table does help with that.

gonzoknowsdotcom1 OP ,

This is exactly what I was looking for thanks. I’m going to archive this with wayback machine to help future people

I would like to see a photo from this January and compare

EarMaster OP , (edited )

You can go to their website and view several webcams. It’s not that different. Climate change is a thing but it’s not that fast…

That particular spot isn’t a slope anymore though - so you couldn’t recreate this shot as easily. ¯⁠\⁠⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠⁠/⁠¯
