Why are your parents complaining when you went and got food for them
I dunno
I really hope you're able to move out soon
it's a really toxic environment
do not get the grimace shake
I’ve never had one
I heard that it’s like a sweeter strawberry shake
Even more reason for me not to get it
take my word
If it’s legitimately sickeningly sweet that’s not a good combo with lactose intolerance
Will do, cheers for the heads up
no it's horrifically sweet
basically American foods
oh did they just land here?
lmao not suprised
the grimace shake
from that tiktok shit
were people would drink it and then act possesed
lol
went viral on tiktok a few months back when it released in the states
what does it taste like?
Go to bed
been asleep for more than half the waking day
Still sick?
yup
most normal i felt allday
but i still have the occasional cough
🫂
thanks school is 3 days and i wanna meet my friends
It’s 10 to 4 in the morning and I’m about to leave how bloody great
I’m gonna get so many hours for my logbook
I have nearly 4 hours already
God don't remind me
THe amount of information I need to fill out for rentals is fucking ridiculous
😭
One of the houses I looked at yesterday has a fire pizza oven in the back yard 
AND a fan on the patio.. like... all i need is a bar fridge and a tv out there and im full dad mode
Yard currently looks more like a beach with pot holes, but they're landscaping it completely next week to look like it does in the photos which is cool
Bf occasionally sends me ads for small ish houses, like, sweets, we’re 17/18 lmao, not yet 😂
are they cheap in comparison over there?
Ooo a shed too
Oh much cheaper. Together we could already buy a small cottage or unit
Yeah, not big enough to do much with though, just to store mower and stuff really. But that little laneway down the left has a gate big enough for the cruiser to fit down which is good.
this is by far the best place ive inspected yet
Oooo nice nice. I guess it’s still good to get the mower and shit out of sight. What’s the inside like?
I'm seriously tempted to move to Europe
Do it
It's not that unrealistic either
Come visit me and Q
nice, and basic
4 bed, 2 bath which is more than enough for two people
Ill decide after I visit there in person
Oh nice, looks very livable
which means we'll have a spare room ontop of an office
Fair enough
My parents are still not ok with the idea of me moving lol. Oh well
Heres the outside in satellite 
I meant the yard. Nah no solar, but I'm pretty wary with power usage
Solar would just bump the rental price up. It's already $550/wk
Oh oop, 550 each person or will you split that?
Thats total. split
Ok few
wtf in this economy that's a crazy good dral
Townsville is still a lot cheaper than a lot of other places, but it wont stay that way for long
Im really thankful my bfs mum is ok with us living with her until we get on our feet
Honestly isn't even that bad for what you're getting
For sure lol, that's a crazy good deal
woah
No flying activity near me for now
I can't get down to point Cook cause it's supposed to bucket down
Id rather not get sick tbh
4-15mm 💀
yeah it does
I found that out it's really annoying
Just give them a damn notification and leave it at that please
Wait, is that a new discord change?
Ah
He didnt land
Hmm could be really poor wear but that alt suggests he was about to land
Dunno what that was about lol
But he’s almost back to his airport
Probably 2 mins out
Just watched him land
lol the zoom
I was about to say what am I looking at lol
lol
@patent pecan sorry for the 3rd ping 😭 how do you get the confidence to photograph cars on the side of the road? I’m such a chicken
Anyways cute Suzuki
If the owners there just ask them
They’ll love it and it gives you more confidence
Or use a telephoto so they don’t know 
I mean like passing cars and you sitting on the side of the road
Might be a bit too big lmao
Oh, I generally just sit there and eat something. I only photo cool shit anyway. Plus where I am is scenic so i just look like im there for a quiet sit down
Yeah my 70-180 is like perfect for it lol
Especially if you’re panning it’ll be hard as fuck with that thing
Yeah ok that makes sense. I’m sitting in the side of main road because it’s too hot to walk to the highway and I kinda snuck out so I can’t take the car 😂
It is lmao
I’m trying to remember what other lenses I have 😂 might go in and swap for something shorter
I pretty much soley use this lens
I’m usually not much past 120mm. I usually only do it to practice panning really. But happy when I get some nice old cars
There’s usually a few trans ams and old mustangs out in my area at this time, none yet:(
Just a creepy dude in a Camry that slowed down to stare at me lmao
Take a photo of him in case he turns around and you need to ID him 
😂 lmao
I’ve been followed by so many people honestly
Had one in the backstreets that asked for directions back to main road… he followed me deeper into the back streets so I went to an old woman’s garden and pretended I was there to visit
I waited hidden it the woman’s garden for about 20 mins and when I left he was still there and followed our to main road.. walked to another persons place I know and they did a few uies to follow. Was creepy asf
I think I sat in a bindi patch 
Niceee
There should be a firebird come by soon, I usually get home from work about now and we cross paths here often
transam?
What’s the bet today is the one day he doenst bring it out
Yeah
1808 photos was the final count for Sandown 😊😊
awww
there's a bunch of supercars near where I live
it's so cool seeing them
WHY DO PEOPLE KEEP MAKING EYE CONTACT WITH ME
SOME DUDE LOCKED EYES, ROLLED HIS WINDOW DOWN ANS SPAT 😭
If I wait long enough I can take a pic of my mum with her roof down coming home lmao
FINALLY A CAR!!!
Another out of focus frame shows the guy with a huge smile lol
Don’t be scared, slow ya shutter down 
lol thanks. I’ve never done cars before soooooooo open to any advice
How much should I slow it?
Naw I just missed a mustang lol. Van blocked it
I guess it Vanished from view
I deleted my advice I was typing for AJ to tell you have terrible than one was

So.. my usual standard then
Keep it fast if you’re learning, but what I usually do is slow it down gradually to dial myself in. Plus helps to feel out the environment… different speed limits on roads n stuff
Panning can be difficult. I think Kill is pretty good at it
‘I just work here’
I guess I’ll just trail and error for a while:)
Speed limit is ignored on this road lol, no consistency between cars at all
this was 1/50, for motion blur reference
and as you can see, it is why i went and bought another ND filter... f/10 😦
looks too soft for my liking
I have no filters for this yet
who woulda thought 82mm filters are fucking pricey
Yeah that 67mm one i got was about $450
It's techincally two filters and a case
two filters to make 9 stop
5 stop VND and a 4 stop static
67mm size?
yeah
f/16 😎
god damn that's crazy expensive lol, basically on par with my Nisi 100mm square filter in price per filter
Heck even my CPL is ~90mm and cheaper than that
It's Nisi as well
Mine's still the 67 though
Probably cheaper at other places, but my camera stores locally owned so i dont mind supporting
I'd love the kase magnetic filters for convenience, just a lot of money for something that won't actually improve performance
Yeah I actually went in for magnetics, but they dont have them. but i'm seriously impressed with how nice these are.. my otherone gets shit vignetting
I got locked out 
Knocked on dads bedroom window, he stared at me and then went back into his room 💀
Calling brother lol
My Nisi at 9 stops vs my promaster at 8 stops
@static ruin
Gollyyy
That cross is less to do with quality, and more the fact that Nisi is blocking off the VND from going further before physics issue (aka that cross) kicks in, it's why it's only "5" stops VND, they put a stop there to prevent you going further I'm guessing
VND is just 2 polarizers stuck together, have them rotated 90 degrees and no light passes, so technically they can go as many stops as you want, but physics makes it impractical
Is that why they layer two filters?
Yes
So you'll notice that cross if you either a) have it pushed too far or b) shooting with an ultra wide angle lens it is more likely to become visible due to the higher angle of light coming in
yeah thats at 18mm
VND's are interesting when you look deeper into how they work, get 3 filters and you can do basic nerdy experiments that show quantum uncertainty effects in the real world
Well 3 polarizers I should say rather than 3 vnd's, but yeah they're interesting
Same here. I'd really like to learn how I can use my CPL's for more than just automotive reflections
CPLs primary use is cutting out reflections, so you're already using it for their main use, just the end goal may differ
My knowledge on filters is tiny… so is my spending balance 😂
I use it for landscape time to time, in some cases it just cuts out reflections on rocks/leafs to pull more colour back in, other times it just helps cut out some haze if it's a wide open landscape, but ultimately all boils down to reducing unwanted reflections
Does it really work with haze to a degree?
Yes
Haze scatters light which results in a net reduction in contrast, you're cutting away some of that scattered light when you stick a polarizer on
Oh right
Thanks
Nahhhhh my neighbour started following my Insta
We don’t like this neighbour
Sabotaging our business and shit
Sabotaging?
Ah that one
2000's porshces are the best
hey im no rocket scientist but that says 1/60 not 1/50
Yeah my bad, the other two were 1/50
damn didnt know you owned smeet
Rude. I'm not that fat
not far off
a few more beers and you will be
hopefully my photos decide to actually upload now
and hopefully this storm doesnt take out my internet
Is Temu a scam
Lmfao
I’m more of a cow than you lmao
nah not really but be careful with what info you give them cause they might sell it to the chinese gov
otherwise theyre pretty reliable ive got mates whos gotten stuff before
oh i did that once
And I got this?? Seems sketchy lol
they never did anything with it
i dont trust temu personally so i cvant give much advice
Yay
gonna publish the sandown collection
not the unedited but the edited ones
might not post the ones smeet gave me advice for i still need to fix it
butthis one definitely :)
one of my fav photos ive taken
it failed gang
half of them uploaded
half of them didnt
this is pissing meoff
im missing 500 photos
why wont they all upload bruhh
ok trying this in smaller sections
i know im super excited to watch it
Hot take: promite > Vegemite
Oop
I have a couch and a chair now
Had to use wood glue on the table legs 
They’re ugly but hey, atleast the couch is comfy
I know 😂
I’m cheap though
I’ll probably eat at the couch most days anyway
I think I get my bed tomorrow
i mean its not like youre feeding a family like you dont need more then one seatr
is this the granny flat you were talking about?
Dimming lights is great
One of them blew 
uh oh
Its real, they just sell your data
Shein is easier
Both my phone and earbuds are dying
I’m not looking for anything in particular really, just joined with no I for for my friends thingy
aw
awghhh, big lights
feeling better rn so im enjoying some ice cream rn before crashing again 😂
yeah
sleep half the waking day
I know it sounds horrible but still true
I like to relax and just chuck some quiet music on and play Minecraft
Helps me relax heaps
my relaxation game is war games?
well do that then
As long as its not stressing your body it's fine
to make myself feel better I buy gear
I think I want to build a pc first tho
the Xbox is almost dead I think I'll get one when this fully dies
I hate Insta
it's a sign
There is a staple in the fan somewhere and I don't know what happened to it
I'm surprised it hasn't exploded

it's beckoning AJ
I ain’t bringing this up with my therapist!
HAHAHAH MADE SHORTLIST WOOOOOO
nice

i will
gimme their number
(if your therapist is hot)
Ayyyy
Lmao she’s not
lame
On the edge waiting for the heritage results
end of this month christ they're taking their time
saw some meat processing shit awhile ago on insta
and some others nvolving people
but somehow always coming back to it cuz its better than tiktok
apprently pansonic is releasing. the s1R mk ii in 3 days
Its the comments
Oh cool
I have no plans to buy it but should be pretty neat
im gonna buy it once i have a job
yeah, especially since they finnaly used PDAF insted of DFD
prob better thank buying more gear tbh
I dropped like 500 in Japan just on clothes 
and its gonna happen again in singapore istg
Asia is just fucking amazing
i had such a good appertunity for photos back when i lived in jakarta but i was too smooth brained back then
yeah, bandung is really great for that type of stuff
especially tea plantations
always nice n cold too
This
and rice fields
that layering is amazing
oh yeah that too
I have a bed!
bunny moved out?
Sorta
congrts anways tho
Moved into her parents granny flat
Still her own place and it's good for her
Teaches alot of core skills about living alone aswell I feel
I think itll do great things for you aj
aw shit my ac is elaking agian
I’ve already lived alone for extended periods of time lol
Aw no
sigh its almost wet season too
Yeah but this is voluntary to an extent
It's alot better then just getting kicked out yk
I guess
Oh no, more QLDers
😂
What the fuck is going on with the time
oh even worse
Daylight savings
So what time actually is it
Cause google says it's 9:56
But everything else says 10:56
@feral cargo @crystal jacinth @icy nymph
This is looking nice asf already aj
that looks nicer than my current apartment lol
Looks just about as good as my room and Ive had it for years lmao
should I print some photos for my wall
Yes
okie dokie
Yep. That’s what I’ll be doing when I move again. Last place I was in was too bare
looks fancy
Won’t be for long lol
lol
View from the top has defs been making getting back into fitness easier
I can’t wait to say goodbye to the painting on my wall lol
So much better than that other hill me and Miskie do
Mmmmmm lovely
Ive got some F1 prints but I wanna print some of my own photos
If I get time today, I’d like to do a bike ride around lake Mac
I wish I could but it's bucketing down here
Last time I went for a ride in the rain my tire exploded
None of mine are worth printing lmao
Yikes
I tend to disagree
You've got some amazing photos
Id honestly steal them for my own wall
I had that happen but only 3 or 4km and it was a downhill walk to get back home
Maybe some good, but nothing amazing or original
Like a plane photo is a plane photo
I’d like to get a good panning shot that I can put into a very panoramic crop and print. There’s another drift thing happening soonish
neither is my photo
i love these drawings lol
Doesn't change the fact that it's cool
Yeah that sounds sick
I bought the farmed ones from a lovely fella named John. Got neither one under my bed
Ngl, I’ve only ever seen your plover photos AJ
and I’m sure you know how I feel about those
Yeah lmaooo
But only because they’re plovers
I took this photo the other day
professional
Couldn’t be bothered finding the original files lol
And I did leave some shitty ones out 
There’s really nothing special
I need to look myself hang on. I wanna see the animals closer up
lol
Until you pointed it out no
That was the original background colour
I mean I could probably edit it again and do it well, that was probably the first pic I ever edited 😂
@late parcel you need to print your photos more 
That’s the original
Which ones thoughhhhhhh
what ever fits the room 
That’s true, and I definitely think it’s saveable, would just take a lot of time and being anal about it
You’ve known me long enough to know I’m a lazy fuck
lol reminds me of one of mine
Most of the other photos I’ve posted have had no editing or very quick 2 min crop, exposure fix
The only thing I don't like is the pose of the bird, its something I also struggle with a lot lmao
Its always nicer when their head is held up high, I scrap almost everything else
an extreme low or an extreme high
lol shitty plover pic
only bird pic i could find lol
Don’t worry I’m the same. I watched a video of a guy shooting macros of a watch with focus bracketing, but taking 3-4 hours just editing the date window to be consistent let alone the rest of the watch 
Yep sounds about right
I havent shot wildlife in like a solid few months
I wear, wash, dry, fold, basket repeat lmao
Birds are all just facing right now, so no photo opportunities?
last wild life photo with my 80-200 before 
I’m going to go do my first ‘dedicated’ wildlife trek tomorrow up at Paluma. Hopefully I get lucky and spot a cassowary
Schools been keeping me busy, but also the aviary here is just kinda running dry now lol
Yeah not really either. Kinda hard when I’m grounded and sick lmao. I’d like to do some wildlife with the Fuji tele but haven’t really had the chance
Oooooo be careful lol
gl
I'll be heading to singapore and Nepal so thats gonna be the photo highlight
Would love to get up to some of those areas someday
Basically on my list if/when I get a 4wd someday just to get the most out of that kind of travel
I was going to go out to uhhhhh name left me, the island near fuck name also left me
Anyways. A really good bird island about 45 min north of me
Was going to go there for my graduation treat to self but I’m still grounded lol
can't wait to shoot this
Oo
It’s fuckin gorgeous, I’m gonna go for a quick fish too. Definitely only putting 2 lenses in my bag though, gonna need water and food 
Just need a bigger backpack
Pftttt don’t need water and food
Its right near the fullerton as well
Nah fuck that I don’t want the weight
The cruisers gonna struggle on the range as it is
It’ll drown the animals in soot at the bottom of the hill
I’d take the work ute if I didn’t want to go fishing, need to 4wd a bit
I’m off y’all, gotta start moving stuff to the flat. Take care
cya
eat the lenses
@static ruin Did you guys gain or lose an hour in syd?
Went forward an hour
12:15
wait nt has daily savings?
"light savings"?
nah nah ignore that, its 11:40 rn
we dont do it
k
its just some phones auto set it anyway
im gettinga 70-200 soon
well my dad is
i still need to get the adaptor from EF to L mount tho
lol yeah
he has his own 5D MKIII tho
used, 600K for 150 AUD i think?
We don't need fake time 
I'd be happy to scrap DST
Honestly it confuses me so I agree
My only issue is if it's scrapped, I'd not want us to permanently be on DST, don't want it to get dark so late
Amen
Now o gotta wait an extra hour for Q to wake up 
Gotta get used to this new time difference for just a few weeks and then it changes over there too
@sudden karma
I CLOSE PINTEREST BECAUSE IF TOO MANY CUTE BABIES
I CLOSE INSTA BECAUSE OF BABES
AND THEN THIS ON YOUTUBE LMFAO
looks absolutely lovely
Reminds me of a hotel, nice vibe

AJ BLOCK THE ACCLUJTS GODAMN
god I fucking hate living in alice
shooting urban is such a dream
take me back to asia already holy shit
ITS THE DREAM LIFE 😭
I need to uninstall Insta lmao
just do it AJ
stop liking posts with kids in them
@patent pecan ig this is kinda your area of expertise but what do you think
I've got some images I could use for a HDR effect to bring out the rays
I’d call nothing my expertise lol. Idk, I like the lateral cloud. The foreground silhouettes are point IMO
Could maybe be zoomed/cropped to exclude
Hmm
I'm not really experienced with shooting sunsets and I see you do them heaps
Maybe oliv will come drop some wisdom for me
Yeah oliv probably has more input. But without any hate, I would’ve scrapped. I very much like visual landscape in more foreground if that makes sense
I think the sunset had potential if I knew how to photograph them better
It’s the same thing oliv told me last time I posted. I’m way too candid with it and I think that’s the issue here. saw a nice sunset and snapped it without any wild thought
Yep, it's just a snapshot photo. Is a nice view, but as a photo you still need a photo composition to make it good as a photo
Sunset light can just make more and/or different compositions work that otherwise wouldn't
Hmm good point
I took a sunset photo a few weeks ago that I really liked lemme find it
this one
I don’t like them 😭
Same issues as the other one, it's a snapshot
All my sunsets are too
yo anyone watched the weeknd concert
When there’s a nice sunset but you have a 150-600 tele 
No
Less of a snapshot then the other
I did intentionally frame this one
Good luck
You want feedback on this shot or?
More the first photo then that one but I'm open to feedback for both
ikrrrr
I only got like 4 weeks tho before exams
4week is wild😭
You barley have time to study
Year 12 exams start later
shit it is 4 weeks
It starts on my birthday
6th of November
It could be worse
Year 11 exam schedule isn't out but my first year 12 exams is 12th of Nov so it's finee
hell yessssss
wish I could go
Maybe you go for us smeet
Not sure my 70-180 would do them justice. You can stand exactly under where they come in to land though
@sudden karma
They never do anything at the point cook base
One week until hsc 
rip
i feel the same way up here
Chez was messing with my Finland itinerary
finlant?
Going to see my bf
I don't live in Qld smeet
yeah ik I really hope they do something soon, we can both go down then
I’m very happy with my position near Williamtown base
And our farm being under the training area
So flying over is now back on the cards?
we all hope so
Possibly
Mum asked me to make an itinerary in case we still go
But it’s about 50/50 chances… might have to delay until mid next year or later
i think i might be hopefully going back to indo at the end of the year
Oooo
My parents and brother are going to Japan, Hong Kong and Korea but I’m staying to work
man i wanted to go to japan
last year my friend went to japan and gave him 1000Y to buy me some lollies
(he gets to keep 100 lol)
I fw that
Gives you some own time to yourself, and you're getting more money you can spend in Finland
STOP SENDIJG ME BABY REELS AJ
I JUST SAW THAT
Lmfao you have to admit it’s cute
Ooooo
I’m jelly
That viewfinder spot is interesting
😂
I’m about hang on brb
About 200 bucks from my saving goal
Few set backs and a couple months where I haven’t been able to put much into saving
2-3 shifts and I’ll reach it
Then I can go down to the embassy and say “hey I’ve got the required funds for the financial check, give me a visa” 😂
Yeah I look forward to it moving when I upgrade. It’s fully digital
Like.. what eye do you use?
isnt it rangefinder style?
Also can someone explain to me why a selfie of me holding my camera on Insta got more likes than my photos
fuck this shit lmao
ppl ig? 🤷
you're a baddie that's why
Social media, not sure anyone has ever made sense of it
Lmfao I’m not
Was out last night after the grandfinal, never expected to see a Ghost busters car of all things.. I occasionally take Mediocre photos of cars
That’s fun asf
I took a mediocre car photo the other day too
Looks like a nice area
i sold my lens filter to my dad at a 17% markup
Sweet
gonna buy a EF to L adaptor when i get teh funds
Behold, I label this “I have no clue wtf I’m doing”
The distortion on the building lmao
lol
Electronic shutter?
Yeah
well that explains it
EFC or MS?
i mean fujifilm mecahnical shutters are very fast
idk
😅
OH
I’m dumb, I’m not good with acronyms or whatever they’re called
I just had it on ES if that’s what you’re asking?
Try electronic first curtain or mechanical, you'll get less distortion
yeah, or you could set it to automatic
less rolling shutter too
I never use electronic shutter when shooting cars cause the rolling shutter is poo and I only get an extra 3 fps
Oh yeah I'm going to the F1 next year's guys 🥳🥳🥳
oh hell yeah!
Holy fuck I was going through settings and MY FUJI HAS PRECAPTURE WTF
Too many options 😭
I'd just go with either electronic front curtain shutter or mech of all those
Ok cool thankies
Fastest I’ve shot was 1/6400 I think for the f35 high speed manoeuvres
Yeah, there’s also bulb mode where I can use a remote and have it go as long as I want really
dam, even with bulb i think mine i limited to 30 mins
I’ve not tried anything more than 2 mins lol
Oh I did do something like 8 mins at one stage, but it was a one off
What the fuck
us and our cameras maxed out at 1/8K
Whether it's a usable 1/180000s shutter or not is an entirely different matter
If it was showing rolling shutter with the car photo, not sure how practical it would actually be for anything where it matters
Should have shot at F8
Got the Subie today
Why tf am I asked to fill up my brothers car
He also was mad at me for making him leave late when he moved because he forgot to pack his jumper cables… he’s needed them multiple times 
wtf
I forgot how much I hate driving this
And the steering wheel cover sucks, there’s no where comfortable to hold
Yeah god I hate it in the NT lmao
its meh
I'll be spending 20% of my year in Asia though lol
oh
Went to Japan for 2 weeks last holidays
spending 4 days in Singapore and then a little over a month in Nepal these long holidays
I gotta fill 3/4 😭
bruhhhhhh
Cost 70 bucks
Not toooo bad
158c/L for unleaded 91
Peak bag filling. Balanceeeeee
Brother packs things in the weirdest way that’s so unbalanced and usually breaks
Petrols been decently cheap the past few weeks, hopefully it stays that way
It varies a lot here, I've been driving further as of late for cheaper fuel
I can either fill up local for $2.10, or drive 10 minutes and get it for $1.80, it's stupid
Price of oil is trending back up though, so I expect our fuel prices to follow
yooo wtf i just found out a song about leica
im am deadass laughing rn
i also found an M6 for "only" 3500 bucks
which i realize you cant even buy a Z9 or R1 with that
210 is ludicrous
The local servos are always over priced now, petrolspy saves me so much money
Been times where a 10 minute drive has made $40 difference filling up
Ecto 1. That’s cool as fuck
Hows one supposed to afford a Laksa with those fuel prices
yo wtf thats funny
Thought it’d be cool to time lapse the drive up the range… it’s just way too fucking fast 
only managed to come out with 5 photos.. all of which im still not very happy with 
shooting in a rainforest is harder work than i realised, light is so uneven everywhere
I tried it once and then gave up and just enjoyed it with my eyes lol
It's often one of those things where it's a beautiful location.. But finding a photo is very difficult, always stuggled with that sort of scenery for photos
enjoy it with your 20 stops of DR
DR isn't the issue with that type of photography, finding a composition is
I always lower the exposure when doing sunsets on my phone cause it brings out the colours more
What territorian doesn't love laksa
laksa is ok ig, i like the soup and noodles, the otehr stuff not so much
usually same but u was power walking my ass home befire getting yelled at lol
Not a fan of prawns and fish cake?
prawns not really, fish cake is fine, i dont mind
mybohone handles colour pretty well compared to a few others
I go for fish balls If available.
In Singapore if I see it with fish balls and that cheap dried green herbs on the top I know it's gonna be up my alley
i dont like laksa
HERESY
are you Singaporean?
i ate it like twice a week growing uo ans now i cabt stand it 😭
Nah just visit atleast once a year
Really underrated for bird photography
So many good parks and along multiple migration routes
Also from Perth the airfares there are extremely cheap, far cheaper than domestic
Speaking of Perth, decide something for me
I got the day free tomorrow so do I go to Yachep NP or Bibra lake.
Yes
just dokt got to macritchie on dusk lmfao it was so hard to get out
we grabbed in but couldnt get a grab out. Took like an hour to find someone who was willing to let us hitch hike back to thompson
Oh? Good tip, macritchie was on the list. Wanna see a culago
One Is north the other is south
i didnt see any but i want really looking for them
culagos are so friggin weird looking
macritchie was nice, just make sure youve got a booked cab or go earlier because dor Singaporeans, that’s considered “the middle of nowhere”
cute though 😂
the sinagpore island country club area with the tree top walks is good too
really good food at the cohntey club and you see monkies and wild boar driving tk the restaurant
i cant type sorry
Sungei buhlo is on the top of the list
yesssss i didnt get to go last trip, i was at a funeral, but its worth going
But there's a bus going back and forth from Karanji MRT so no worries about getting a grab
In the meantime, shits kicking off down here
There's sacred kingfishers showing up in my backyard so I have camera ready to go
And multiple times now I've heard the Rainbow bee eaters coming in to breed
The S21 ultra had some of the best colour science I've seen in a phone
Shooting sunsets on that thing was a blessing
How’re you Malay and not like laksa
Apparently had too much of it, that happens sometimes
I can't go near cashew paste because growing up my mother thought peanuts were the devil
Wasn't even alergic
Had cashew paste so much now I can't even look at it
Same reason I can’t stand Taylor Swift. Too much of it as a kid
My last trip to Singapore was when she was in town. Our flights and hotel were already booked before it was announced.
Flight was packed, lost our king single rooms to swifties, grabs impossible to get at certain times.
Annoying
How did you loose a room? Had you booked it yet or nah
aometimes you have to pay more to be Guaranteed a bigger wized room
Yikesss
Booked like a year in advance
But a manager likely okayed it because the potential profit during a peak season was too hard to ignore
Hotel costs were basically triple at that time the concert was on.
So they still would of made profit if they fully refunded us
And had another room to give to swifties if that happened
Where did you stay?
Furama riverfront
Oh ok, not had any experience with them
We generally stay in bugis village hotel. MRT station a street away. Hotel is nice, location was good and not too pricey
Next year its V lavender, right above platform and a shopping alley
Before we would stay in the Hilton or holiday inn, Hilton was too expensive and holiday inn just wasn’t as nice
Oooo nice
And on the airport mrt line too
Yeah nice
Lucky for us we always have family to get us too and from the airport
They pick us up, give us SIM cards and mrt cards, we go to dinner and then to the hotel
Going home they take us to dinner where we give mrt and SIM cards back and then go to the airport
Apart from last time we missed our return flight and had to leave the next day lmao
I now (since most recent trip) have been using an eSIM, but my brkthers phone isn’t compatible so he just used one of the sims from my aunty
Aw pretty
They always hang around carpark c
There's a resturaunt in the middle of that area, that means food waste, that means rodents
Thus free food for the owls
Plenty of other stuff there too
Worth a visit
Ooo I’ll take note, got some scoot airline credit for a free flight there so maybe next year I’ll go back
How's it going??
@brittle raft sorry to ping you in here, lounge is busy, do you have any suggestions of stuff to do in ivalo, rovaniemi or helsinki in janurary?
Photography wise or just generally?
both if you have any suggestions, wanted to get some wildlife photos but dont know how feasible that is dead winter?
Well it will be polar night going on at January at northern parts of Finland. So star and aurora photography is what you might want to do. Birds and wildlife might be quite difficult. In Helsinki there might be enough daylight and some birds to photograph. But Helsinki is always a bit so and so if you want to see snow and winter landscapes.
If you have to choose between Lapland and Helsinki then I would go to Lapland.
im honestly just there to see my bf but need time filler. wanted to see bears but lucky buggers will be asleep 🥲
Yeah no bears at winter time
will be in both anyways, helsinki 6th-9th, rovaniemi 9th-12th, ivalo until the 16th
think thats a good balance of places? or should i dedicate more time to one or another?
Well i think that sounds good.
In Helsinki there is lot to see if you like culture and art. But also some nature places.
In Lapland you can ski, or go to snowmobile safaris or try to see auroras among others. And remember to just enjoy nature and peace.
i shall try:) so far have planned to go to the aviation museum in Vantaa and the Fazer center (bf loves Fazer 😂) other than that im still figuring it out. thank you Antti
35mm F4.4 prime lens for my s1
Clad if I was able to give some ideas and that sounds good. I have never visited either place but I'm sure that Fazer center will be sweet. 😋
:) i'll let you know if its worth going to 😂
whats with the tape
thats why its a prime lol
in all seriousness i wanted to experience 35mm (stuck with it) so i can deal with a fixed focal lenght when i get a prime
lmfao
its not even my first time doin it lol
🎶 my ac is still leaking and its no longer cold 🎶
😭
lmao
the ac is like old enough to drink i think lolololol
Basically nothings changed, mostly complaining about weather and/or spaceweather, you?
Things finally bring organized at work so I can take a proper vacation though, so need to plan something at some point
I missed having mobile service
I don’t have as much editing to do as I anticipated
my heart's being weird again
now it's beating really quick and hard again
Been doing this all day
Don't know what's wrong
000
How much caffeine have you been having?
Literally none
I don't drink caffeine
My depression is peaking too so that doesn't help for sure
It's quite possible that I have a genetically uneven heart beat
My family has alot of heart issues
Yeah might have to
Afternoon fellow Australians
Afternoon
arvo
how are ya
Yeah good. Just got back into town, beeen driving since 8 this morning moving machinery to a near by town and back
How’s everyone else?
Currently studying the inside of this cardboard bowl
why am i even doing this? i read some key quotes as i walked into my trial exam and toppped the class. this is a waste of time
mmmm yummo
Tf people actually study poetry?
unfortunately
Get medical attention
When my heart rate was at problem levels last year the nurse who did my preliminaries before I saw the gp said I should’ve just gone to the hospital
heart problems may as well bypass GP
even if it is minor, its still better to go to ER
Anything related to your heart you can’t be too careful with
anything head, heart or spine related just dont bother with GP
go to the ER and they will triage, better to be waiting in an ER on low priority even than to be waiting at a GP
I feel like if I was a doctor
I’d be a GP
I think I’d be good at delegating problems to another doctor

too many gross stories from my dad, no thanks
I don’t need 4 years of uni to do that shit. I already delegate shit I don’t wanna deal with daily
😂
im busy
lmao
i think its more serious because my mum has had a heart attack in the past
get someone to drive you to the hospital or call
june/july was hectic lol
misses AWIC because my gramps died
i dont put enough in my calander, gonna change that in the future
im so sorry to hear that aj
its fine, didnt know him
I've told dad
He's told me to lay down for a bit and if nothing changes we will go from there
I do have a headache and my chest hurts so it's not good
I don't think he's one to take this lightly seeing as mum literally had a heart attack a few months ago
hopefully everything is alright tho
It is not Wrensday, but I photograph wrens anyway
Is your handwriting poor enough to be a doctor
I photographed some birbs too
show show
Can’t yet
I’ve still got a little ways to go before I get home and I really need a shower before I edit I’ve been in the bush for the last 4 days
Globemaster socks lol
My socks are made out of dirt
I really need a shower my feet were black from dirt not too long ago
Got a call saying my friend was in a bad quad crash but not much info has been given
Possible leg amputation
It's amusing to me seeing other people use calendars to organise their lives
It'd be incredibly helpful to me in my job
But be fucked if I'll ever do it
Past few months I started. Never used them before now
No I actually have decent handwriting for a male
I hate waiting for people to reply 😭 I wanna know if my friend is ok
Hope all is fine 😦
Instant disqualification for being a doctor
I know how you feel
Waiting desperately for news, you don’t know what condition they’re in and that scares the hell out of you and time starts to go by real slow
Unfortunately it’s something I’ve gone through myself as well as having been in a car accident
I mean given it’s the leg I’m hoping otherwise she’s ok? I dunno. But her career ans hobbies need her to have both legs good
Yikes
Just gah. My neighbour was in a similar accident and had most of his calf removed. After a few years got it amputated
Remember, Australia has some of the best medical facilities in the world and the people that are taking care of your mate have years and years of training and experience dealing with these situations she’s in good hands.
I have faith she’s in good hands. I also know that realistically crushing injuries result in a lot of amputations or loss of use
The medical staff are going to do absolutely everything possible to get your mate to the other side in the best possible state
