More taxpayer money funneled to oil oligarchs. Great fucking system we have here.

Lol, this country is a joke. I’ve lost all faith in the US.

They increase the distance between the sensor and the lens, which allows you to get closer to the subject than the lens typically allows. This effectively increases the magnification.

Thanks. I’m not much of a tripod user, I prefer freehand, but this was a fun exercise. I plan on learning focus bracketing at some point, so I’ll need to master using it effectively.

How else do you think he was able to manipulate electricity?

Same. That vibrant orange is so nice to look at, especially in winter. All those tiny apothecia are beautiful.

I pretty much use Merlin every time I go out birding. Excellent app for identifying calls and identifying birds with photos.

I just got a new macro lens. I’ll be trying my hand at some snowflake shots soon. Hopefully I can get some good ones.

I just played this game for the first time a week ago. I liked it so much I immediately ran through it again as a pacifist. I’m a sucker for a well fleshed out story and world. The quirky humor also landed more often than not and the emotions hit pretty hard. I look forward to playing Deltarune sometime soon.

I got Elden Ring to run at stable 40fps which was fine for me, but I can see how folks wouldn’t accept that.

It took me a long time to get into it. The first time I gave up and stopped playing, but came back a year later. It clicked a bit more, but even then, towards the end of the game I was begging for it to end. It’s a pretty great story, but the gameplay is run-of-the-mill and bland.

They are pretty great. It’s so therapeutic watching and photographing them. Something positive in these trying times.

Eurocucks are too funny. They don’t teach y’all about personification?

Nice tongue shot! Does it have a catch? I really like that flying shot with the deer too! Good stuff.

Did you use a polarizing filter?

So many killer songs. I feel like Dire Straits is slept on. Don’t get me wrong, they’re definitely well known, but even then.

Man, I hate conservatives. I know them all too well and this is them to a t.

Thank you. These chickadees are quite used to humans being present. These were taken near a public bird feeder. It’s pretty cool, there are probably 20-30 around at most times and they’ll buzz just a few inches from my head and you can feel their wing flaps. They’ll get within a few inches of me and check me out. they’re quite smart for a tiny bird.

Here are some bonus shots I couldn’t upload earlier.

Interesting. I didn’t think we had mountain chickadees here I’m way over East vs their typical range.

Not to be that guy, but the flag has also been co-opted by right-wingers in Mexico.

He just went to that side so da Vinci could take the photo.
