drama-free of all possible Lemmy users

That's... not how I would describe the user.

They're banned from blahaj lemmy for repeated and ongoing gatekeeping and they've got a mile long modlog...

Not who you're asking, but I wouldn't have wanted to be born cis

[–] ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Me. Before I transitioned, and in my early days of transition, sure, I'd have made that choice if it were available to me. But now, years in? Fuck no. I don't want to be cis.

What is going on with your moral compass that you believe that sometimes, funding bigots doesn't make you a shitty person, yet also lets you believe that disagreeing with you on that issue topic is enough to qualify someone as a shitty person?

If you can make an exception for people funding Rowling, you can make space for them disagreeing with you, without pretending that they're the problem

Apologies if this question comes off as insulting, but just to confirm, if you're shooting manual, when you adjust the ISO to keep the exposure value the same right? The photo you've got there looks slightly underexposed to me

That being said, assuming you are keeping the exposure value equal, then conventional wisdom says that you get slightly less contrast (including colour contrast) with a wide open aperture. So if you set the ISO faster, and don't change your shutter speed, your aperture will be smaller, and you should be getting more colour contrast.

On top of that, each lens has its own "sweet spot" where it gives you the best image quality (sharpness, contrast, saturation etc) generally but not always somewhere around f/8.

So if you haven't already, true adjusting your ISO to 160, and getting your aperture as close to f/8 as you can, and adjust the shutter speed to achieve that.

So, it turns out that PieFed has instance staff that exist between community mod and admin!

It sounds like a similar situation I had learning Spanish. In english, I'd say "It's hot". In Spanish, that's "Hace calor", which translated literally means "makes heat". And it was strange to me because I wanted to know what was meant to be making this heat

I'm not from Sydney, but I took this photo when I was there this weekend gone, and thought that I'd share it

I'm growing more and more impressed with its capabilities the more I use it! Wrapping my head around its approach to masking, and its "scene referred pipeline" took some time, but now that I'm getting the hang of it, I think I can say I genuinely prefer it to Lightroom.

Combined with digiKam, which is excellent for photo collection management, I'm a very happy photographer :)

6 months ago, I asked about m43 for wildlife photography (https://lemmyverse.link/lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/5660675)

Today, I use an OM-1 MkII, and it is easily the best birding/wildlife camera I've ever owned. Would absolutely recommend it!
