Gormadt , 7 months ago (edited 7 months ago) to Men's Liberation in Free Talk Friday - What's got you down?

It’s rapidly approaching the anniversaries of the worst events that have occurred in my life

My life has gotten a lot better since then but this time of year is pretty rough

Edit: They’ve mostly got different years attached them but there’s basically a anniversary per week until Valentine’s Day. Some weeks have got 2 though.

Thank you, here’s a link to my DeviantArt page specifically the upload of this image.

I’m still slowly working through my backlog of pictures to share there so there’s not a whole lot there currently.

NGL that’s another reason I really like 1x1.

Finally got back to my PC so I could do some fun editing

BTW would you be alright if I share this edit in my online album (DeviantArt page) provided I credit you as the original source for the non-edited image and provide a link here?

Edit: Slight clarification on where I’d share it.

Personally when it comes to exterior shots I go for wider shots than 3x2. I’m talking like 3x1, 2x1, or 16x9. Mostly I like those wider shots because I feel they isolate the subject most for exteriors.

Here’s a quick and sloppy little crop at 2x1 I did of your picture. Unfortunately I’m away from my PC ATM so a better crop couldn’t happen but I think it shows what I’m trying to say.

Of course lately I’ve been really falling in love with 1x1 images but that’s a whole other ball pit.

Here’s a 1x1 edit if you’re curious. Also a bit haphazard due to being on my phone but I think I got the framing pretty close.

Edit: Keep up the good work and remember: the best camera is the one you have on you when you want to take pictures.

Damn I really dig the soft but vibrant color of that flower

It’s prominent compared to the bush and subtle in its beauty

And that bush green chef’s kiss

Great work!

Gormadt , 9 months ago to Photography in I've got some dust/dirt in my lens - Is there something I can do about it?

Happy to hear you found the problem

After a hike I noticed some weirdness when taking pictures, turns out when I swapped lenses on the hike I trapped a mosquito between the lens and the sensor

Good news is it just fell out when I tipped the camera

Bad news is now I’m paranoid about there still being bits in there

Gormadt OP , 9 months ago to Photography in What is your favorite non-kit lens? [Discussion]

Unfortunately I don’t know much about the helicoid (the focusing part), it was already installed when I bought it from the seller on eBay. Though the helicoid has a very worn “Made in USSR” on the side.

But the last part that adapts the helicoid to Micro 4/3 is a pretty cheap and easy thing to get on Amazon or eBay as long as you know the mount you’re adapting from. In this case it was also installed by the seller in my case. Though I have bought those adapters (m39 and m42 to Micro 4/3) for other lenses I have.

I’ve shared a collection of stuff that I can share right now in another comment here highlighting some of the pics it can take, and a cool example of how it can focus on objects behind what’s in front of the lens.

Here’s a link to a small album of some shots I can share made using the lens. The shots with multiple minis in it the minis are at most 6 inches apart.

Here’s a pic I took at about midnight using the lens as well. I hope to do more using the lens with reflections and small light sources.

Here’s a cool vid of being able to focus on things behind the subject. Behind the mini by about a foot is my monitor displaying an image.

I’m currently in the process of putting a bunch of my pictures on my Deviantart‡ account, I haven’t done a lot yet because I don’t want to flood it all at once but it’s a slow process of uploading.

‡ It’s SFW and will stay that way, don’t worry.

Education comes in many forms not just formal

Interacting with a large variety of people can really help to bring them back

But yeah, they have to be willing to change if not then it’s going to go poorly

I’ve always been a sucker for flowers

These are adorable

Gormadt , 10 months ago to Photography in Insect caught in a beam of light

Ooh I really dig this

It reminds me of long exposure taillight shots

This makes me want to find an ant hill and get some long exposures of it, preferably without getting bitten

Gormadt OP , 10 months ago to Photography in A couple at Sunset Beach, Oregon

And it’s my favorite kind of moon, a very thin crescent

I’m super happy I was able to get it in the shot

Gormadt OP , 10 months ago to Photography in A couple at Sunset Beach, Oregon

Thank you

NGL I’m pretty proud of it and happy that I was lucky with my timing
