Awesome! I only noticed that it was happening just before I wanted to go to bed, and I wrongly assumed that I had to use long shutter speeds which ruined most of my shots. But I got something decent from my balcony at higher iso and faster shutter speeds. I also have some with red but I missed focus on all of them.

Ah okay, rookie mistake then. I've only done development myself once while using someone else's facilities. This roll was bought and developed at my local lab, though I did scanning myself. I just assumed that the box iso of 3200 was to be trusted. I'm not sure how they developed it tbh, but I assumed it was okay because the edge markings looked way denser than the highlights in most photos. And I assumed that the edge markers are exposed for 3200 iso too.

I probably just overexposed the hell out of this picture, which is why it did turn out fine. Turns out that 3200 iso means that it becomes pretty hard to shoot in broad daylight with a fastest shutter speed of 1/1000th. There are quite a few photos which seem to be ridiculously underexposed.

This photo, for instance, was DSLR scanned and converted with the exact same settings as the one in the post:

It's possible to get a bit more out of it by adjusting the settings, but obviously you can't make information appear that was never recorded by the film. I even took a second shot with different settings because I wasn't confident about my settings, but both shots are completely nuked. Even the sky isn't middle gray

The first thing I remember from that time is sitting in the living room and playing Halo, then hearing that the economy was crashing and everything was going to shit. And it kinda did, I remember a lot of stress about my parents keeping their jobs. I'm from the mid 90s and this is the first moment that I can remember where I became aware of how fucked up the world really was. A shattering of the protective bubble that you experience as a kid.

You're probably aware, but Bitwig studio runs natively on Linux. And tools like yabridge can allow you to run many VST plugins as well. Though it remains a bit of a hassle compared to Windows. I've for instance lost access to a NI plugin because their new all-in-one installer/verification program won't work on Linux

This is just normal cis guy behavior right? :3

Uhhh not really no. Most of us were raised to hide away our emotions. I've been bullied for crying or being "weak". This expectation still exists among adults and is perpetuated by both men and women (though definitely not all of them). It only takes one or two of these toxic people to turn a whole group towards toxic masculinity it seems.

Also, anywhere I go I'm aware that most women find me scary just for existing in a place. I was just out for a walk and just happened to end up on a path closely behind a woman who was also walking there. She looked behind a few times and sped up her pace, while I tried to reduce pace in order to not spook her any further. It's not exactly nice to get the feeling that half of the population seems to immediately distrust you just for the actions of a small minority of men.

This kind of thinking can be used to invalidate any hobby that you're not personally into. I used to think like this and honestly I was a major asshole because of it.

"People travelling is just attention seeking, going to places where millions have already gone just to get a few pictures while emitting a bizarre amount of CO2. "

"Festivals? Why travel all that way and cause all the noise pollution (and pollution in general) just to see some dude press play on a CDJ and listen to mediocre quality music that you could just listen to at home. "

"Board games? Why waste all those resources and all that money on something that could just be a computer program? Save the money and give it to poor people instead."

"Fashion? Biggest nonsense there is. Just make clothes that fit well and are durable. We can just stop this pretentious rat race and save a lot of resources. Would also help with body positivity if the examples we see aren't over edited photos of anorexic models with otherwise perfect features in ridiculously expensive clothes."

And I could keep going. You can reduce anything people care about to a waste of time, money, and resources that could be spent elsewhere. We're not on this planet to be the most efficient and selfless versions of ourselves, we're allowed to just enjoy things even if they seem a bit wasteful and ridiculous to others. That doesn't mean that we should never think about the impact on the environment and other people when we do something, but it's a balance. And just because we don't like doesn't mean that it can't be important to someone else.

I'm sure that to some people their Christmas decorations are the biggest happening of their year. They'll think of what to do the entire year and nothing in the world will fill them with more bliss than seeing their house decorated the way they envisioned it.

Not sure what hobby this is, but honestly it goes for almost every one of my hobbies. Especially photography. I could probably just get good with my Canon EOS 40D for digital and my Canon EOS 300 for analog photography. But collecting new gear is so satisfying. There's always something new to improve. "If only I had X, then I could really do Y well". Though I at least feel like I've somewhat contained myself. I haven't bought any new camera or lens that was more than like 500 bucks, and honestly with what I have now I don't really feel the need to upgrade.

I think you've kinda missed the point of this post lol. It's mocking people who think like this

Nooooo! Don't make all those bees angry and lock them up. Bees need to be happy. Let them roam freely.

Use wasps instead, those fuckers can rot in hell.

Wow, they actually changed their livery. I liked the old one more, but it was getting kinda boring. And this one looks cool as well, so I'm here for it

I can open your link, but as someone who's Dutch, the way this all works in English is so absurd. Here we call Germany "Duitsland" and they speak "Duits". This is quite similar to what they say themselves, "Deutschland" and "Deutsch". We call our country "Nederland" and our language "Nederlands". This is again similar in German.

Then why is English "Germany", "German" and "Holland"/"The Netherlands" and "Dutch". It's so silly. There are of course historic reasons, but can't we all just collectively change it?
