Are there pancake lenses for the A7C? While in Japan I saw a lot of older japanese guys with some camera which I couldn't identify, it looked like some digital remake of some older camera, but what struck me was that they all had this pancake lens which made the whole package very thin and small....
Mine is pretty easy, I import the pics with a shell script from the sdcard into a date based file structure: ~/Pictures/YYYY/MM/DD/
Then I use Dark table to look through the imported pictures and give them 1-5 stars and mark which ones to delete. Then I delete the ones to delete. And then I go through the ones I want to use for something and edit them. After that I export them as jpeg and publish.
As backup I use synology drive and back up ~/Photos offsite and use DejaDup to backup ~/ to a USB hard drive.

I’d love a cubical, at work we only had open spaces the last 15 years or so. It’s so loud and distracting, I hate it. But the upper management always has their own individual office where they can just close the door.

It depends on your question, yes it looks like that everywhere in Palestine, but also in Israel, for example in Betlehem or Nazareth. But you mentioned the building standing in the background. In Gaza most of the buildings are destroyed now I would assume. In the Westbank this is not the case.
I’ve been body shopping for the past year and a half after taking a hiatus from photography due to having children enter my life. Currently, my 2-3 time a week shooter is a Sony A7III. I rented an X-H2s for a week from lens rentals to try to give the two cameras a shakedown. I’m treating typing this out is my own form of...
Actually I’m mostly interested in how long it takes until you as a amateur photographer “recover” from having children. I was out and shooting and traveling so much before, but now 95% of the photos are the baby. But to be honest I’d love to go out and shoot, but I can’t. I have to take the baby with me and then it’s all focus on him and the camera is then only heavy and in the way. Changing lenses is the worst.
I am talking about gadgets we see in science fiction movies that obey the laws of physics of our universe and could theoretically be constructed, barring the limitations of materials, energy and time faced by our civilization at the moment.
It’s increadibly sharp for it’s age, but the auto focus is very slow, because it doesn’t have it’s own motor as far as I understand and relies on the motors from the camera body.
I was walking around close to the mall around here and there are many park attendants who tell you how to park. They all sit in those little containers and watch TVs which seem to be from the 90ies.
I got the new Sony 70-200 mm F4 Macro G OSS II and it’s amazing, even though very expensive. Anyway while looking at all those YouTube videos about it people were very often mention that it’s compatible with tele converters and you’d get basically double the size lens (with half the light) + 1.0 macro instead of 0.5....

Currently our rules do not specify for or against AI postings, simply if something “makes you go awww!” then it is welcome. Given that more than a few users have expressed that AI pictures should be limited to AI communities, do we as a community want to restrict AI posts?
It’s one thing to have differing views, but I’ve seen enough attempted reddit migrations to be relieved that the popular communities in the fediverse so far haven’t been about crazy racist stuff or other extreme right bullshit....
But we have out fair share of Mao and Stalin lovers and Xi loveboys. It’s very simmilar. But I guess they are mostly contained to one or two instances.
Me and the fiance we always fight about the A/C or dehumidifier. For me coming from central Europe, as soon as the humidity goes over 65% I’m sweaty and hot and can’t get dry, I hate it. She as a Korean seems never to sweat at all and even when the humidity is at 80% she seems to have no problems and thinks running the A/C...
The moon rotates once per revolution around the Earth, but that’s not a coincidence. Somehow the rotation and revolution are connected to each other. Some force is keeping them the same. How exactly does that work?
It’s not some force keeping them the same, it’s no force changes the speed of the moon. From my limited understanding the moon was created when a smaller planet crashed into the earth:
They both got the same momentum, therefor they started rotating at the same speed, once per day.
There is nothing out there which would be able to change the speed of the rotation of the moon. There is also nothing which would change the speed of the rotation of the earth. Therefor they keep spinning at the same speed.
In the deep, far future, at the time of the "heat death" of the universe, if I turn on a radio will I get the sound of static or of total silence?
