A few weeks ago, I took a punt on an untested Nikon F4 from eBay for ~$40. Could be a gem or a 46oz paper weight. After a cleaning and adding batteries, I fired it up and everything seemed to work. These are shots from my test roll (Fuji Superia 400), and seems we found a gem. #photography #film
Agreed, and it will be incredibly disappointing when they let these people off in service of ‘unity’.

Who does the cover art? It’s lovely.
Maybe not perfect, but pretty damn close.

The Bari Weiss era about to begin….
No, definitely not a pro photographer, just a hobbiest. I like the Fuji X100 series, having previously owned an X100V, but the pocketability of the Ricoh is why I opted for that camera.
These were with the Nikon ZF + 24-120mm f4. I’ve pared down my kit a bit, so there is that plus a 40mm f2 I own, and then I have a Ricoh GRIIIx as my every day carry.

Which DSLR do you shoot with? Any thoughts about switching to mirrorless? I ask as a mirrorless shooter (Nikon ZF) who is actively looking at Nikon DSLRs just for the optical viewfinder.

Hold on, do you shoot macro on film? Or do you have a digital as well?

Testing close focus on the Z 24-120mm F4. It doesn’t get quite as close as the Z 70-180mm F2.8, but I definitely prefer the contrast and rendering. #photography Nikon ZF + 24-120mm (cropped and lightly edited)
Great conversation. Maybe Madueke doesn't fill me with excitement, though as a sub off the bench, I think he could potentially provide a super-sub role like Trossard, but on the right. Some rest for Saka here and there would be nice as well.
Is he a dog in a man suit though?
I absolutely agree. This is a perception game for fans, and either Arsenal are bad at playing it or just don’t care to show up. I like the business they’ve done so far, and the nature of firm (concrete?) links that are out there.
I take your point, but technically Arsenal have done some of the ‘big business’ quicker… Zubimendi. The problem is, big business of that nature takes time, it doesn’t just drop in the lap, and when you spend that time (ala Zubi) it inevitably leaks and blunts the impact.
We have had two different model years of VW Atlas, and it drove me insane when they switched from proper buttons to capacitive/haptic ones. There is no way I could buy a car with touch screen controls.
Went for a photo walk this morning, sporting my new GRIIIx.#photography #streetphotography
Real Florida Bird vibes…

Yeah, It’s borderline for me. I like it well enough, but it doesn’t blow me away like the others. Same with Sunday.
I know, right!? Two more for you, Dream and Free to Decide. Her vocal range in the first are really something.
They are very different, but the first one in particular is a real ear worm, in my opinion.
Salvation or When You’re Gone.
Probing questions on the Sunday morning shows? Funny…
That's a heck of a discount. I would have been fine going slightly north of $5mill.
Grifting ain’t just a right-wing obsession.
MattY is just covering his ass. His argument against Dems campaigning against Trump’s immigration enforcement as a political loser from a polling perspective. Then the polls changed. It’s best to consider his motivation, rather than just concede a lift to a new subject as some ‘good point.’
Playing with a macro lens in the front yard (Nikon 50mm 2.8 Z-mount). Really proud of this one, no cropping, no tripod, minimal edit, just a fortuitous opportunity. #photography
Even before the goal, the Panthers were in complete control, not fussed at all. And then Skinner forgot how to tend goal, or was napping.
It’s not ideal, but the averages are still telling.
He’s continuing to peddle in arrangements of words that are opposed to one another and absolutely devoid of meaning or detail.
Thumbs aren’t broken though… preach!
Yes, alcoholics.
Shorthanded icing is not a thing though. I like the idea of seeing a penalty through, even if it means going over time. The way it is now, the power play team loses so much advantage and momentum when the period ends.
So, is your proposal here to have a stoppage time after the period should end? Whether that be through a stoppage of play, or to see out a power play? I would almost say you reduce a period to 18 minutes, so that it doesn’t significantly affect time in play.
The Joe Devine and Sean McIndoe crossover I never knew I needed.
It's delicious.
Preach.
Yes, but also, holy hell this PSG team is good.
Vitinha looks incredible, what vision!
Truth.
Ludicrous.
Not sure, but if the law was changed as such, you would have to add in some additional regulations around property holding companies. Which feels like would be a non-starter.
So his mother replied, eh?

Before I caught the context, I thought you were revealing some hidden New England background…
The struggle for middle-aged men to explain their kinks is real. 😂. *hides all his cameras*
Playoff Freddie is in attendance, eh?
It gives me great pleasure to know that even during this period of everything falling apart, we can be safe in knowing that there are organizations out there willing to stroke peoples egos and line their pockets, for absolutely no good reason.
So what you are saying is that he has cross-party appeal.
My wife recently asked me about getting a compact camera, and considering what’s available and pricing on the current market, it was definitely a wait and see on what Ricoh and Fuji were doing. I love my Ricoh, but this might be just right for her.
Real PR speak energy when I read it.
“Following the Leafs has aged this 25 year old…” Happy birthday!
Well, I like your work a lot, and am always fairly certain I am going to enjoy when I start a new one. Which maybe means I have the opposite affliction of those you mention… or I like good things.
I get that Florida are a very good (effective) team, but the collapse was unconscionable, and absolutely unsurprising.
I get how people would say that at a surface level, vis-a-vis Old Man’s War, but I have to assume these people haven’t actually read it or any of your subsequent work.

CK3 generally focuses on the ruler, and playing their family, Vic3 on economic forces, whereas EU tend to be more state focused… kind of a mix.
Someone check to make sure @adamwylde.bsky.social is ok.
How dare Stolarz hit Bennett’s elbow like that! 5 games.

She's a national treasure. Also, if you are interested in her other work, particularly podcasts, she does a weekly analysis show with Peter Mansbridge and Rob Russo on Mansbridge's The Bridge. Happens every Friday and is subtitled Good Talk.
I don't think they'll quite get there, but some of these margins definitely point to some flipping of seats in their favor.
Clifford retaining his seat is highly dependent on how big a swing towards the Liberals there is, and if the NDP totally collapses in his riding… I would not be so certain he retains.
Avoids gerrymandering as an issue as well because number of ridings is based on a formula, and the boundaries are set my an independent commission.
It makes it so much easier to know where a riding is, and what kind it contains, if you know anything about Canadian geography. Souris—Moose Mountain in Saskatchewan is great (Souris is Mouse in French).
Sure, Jan.
I think you are misconstruing my point, which is that the Dems are largely incapable of considering anyone for leadership unless they are retiree age. I’m not making a comment on ability or worth for position.
He’s retiree age, so would certainly fit Democratic criteria for a leadership position.
The whole movement, holy heck!
Is that Charlie Angus in the first picture?

It is unconscionable the effects of this rash decision. Many contractors and FTEs have been let go for no other reason than ideological and PR reasons. That funding was meant to expire in the summer, but they pulled the rug and it and it has states scrambling to reassess their budgets.
Grim.

Virginia service worker Jennifer Piggott voted for Trump knowing others would suffer she just never thought… 🐆💀
Hang in there, I hear kids get nicer and more understanding as they age, right?
Maybe he should put his glasses back on?
I suspect someone will have to fall on their sword, but nothing will be done to address the actual issue here (Signal use, lack of focus on security, etc.). I would put Waltz as the obvious choice to get shit-canned (technical term).
An activist and a reporter are not the same thing, and we shouldn’t confuse the two when one provides some inconvenient truths. The way we lionize and totemize politicians we agree with, ignoring their failings, is a route to disappointment and is what the right has succumbed to with Trump.
“Collaborate?” He’s a reporter, let’s not assume that because the right has a deference model of reporting vis-a-vis Fox, that that is some model to be mimicked. I don’t think it is problematic to highlight Sanders’ policy positions with regards to immigration (or guns).
For what purpose? Perhaps you should explain why who you are matters when formulating a response to a reply?
I’m pretty sure he doesn’t have to explain anything to you, and the purpose of his post is abundantly clear. He’s a reporter, he is pointing out a factual statement from Sanders. The fact it doesn’t align with what you want highlighted is irrelevant.
You skipped the OG Mega Man, right? Because it has aged very very poorly.
This would be voter preference. I don’t think there is anyone doing significant riding level polling. So yes, you will see Conservatives overperforming in the west, probably underperforming in Quebec. Liberals are traditionally very vote efficient at the riding level.
US born vs Naturalized for sure, as I am sure some FedSoc lawyer would love to argue a distinction. And absolutely it will be POC they come after first in that context.
As a naturalized citizen, I had contemplated popping across to Canada (where I am from) in June after attending a conference in Michigan… not sure that’s a good idea anymore.
