Kinda depends on the severity of the crush wound as to whether they’ll amputate

A bloke my engineering teacher served with had a 200kg water tank fall off a truck onto this foot while he was wearing steel caps and his big toe was completely mush so they had to amputate it to give you an example of how bad an injury needs to be for them to amputate

[sudden karma]

hey guys my heart has calmed down alot

feels much better now

hope it doesnt happen again tho

[frozen lantern]

If it does go to the bloody hospital

[sudden karma]

i will for sure

[frozen lantern]

I’ve gotta start editing this shit from the last few days

Way less editing then normal though which is good

[static ruin]

I'm mostly just doing my usual thing, complaining about clouds. Another day with big Aurora potential: Nothing but cloud

Otherwise 50/50 chance of half decent storm Friday night, so may go for photos if that turns out

[frozen lantern]

@karmic lily I have the birb photos I need help deciding on which ones I’m gonna use

[karmic lily]

Easy

[karmic lily]

I pick the ones I like

[frozen lantern]

Give me the number of the photo

[karmic lily]

Do you have a telephoto lens?

[frozen lantern]

Yeah I was using my 70-200 f/4 on a 6d mark ii

200mm is the longest I’ve got at the moment

[frozen lantern]

Which birb photos

I’m gonna get started on this other editing

[karmic lily]

Most are a bit too far out or shadowed

Common problem with photography of birds of prey but still

[frozen lantern]

Now that my culling is done it is time to edit

[sudden karma]

Not too bad I might try if I don't collapse before then

[static ruin]

Is easing up now anyway.. Well kind of, still being hit hard, but polarity of whats hitting us has flipped over the last hour and not so great for Aurora

Apparently it was bright in mid US a few hours ago, so we definitely got unlucky missing the peak

[sudden karma]

It was bright in new Zealand

My cousin sent me a photo

[steep idol]

new firmwaere for ytour fuji dropped

shit nvm

its in november

[late parcel]

She’s being held in hospital, flying home on the weekend but she hasn’t elaborated very much

[sudden karma]

well thats worrying

[late parcel]

I’d love to pick her up at the airport, she’s flying to NTL, but it’s just a day before my HSC so I’m not allowed 😭 it’s not a quick trip to pick her up, it would be a full day because she lives a little bit further up the coast

[sudden karma]

I just had a resting heart rate of 80+ for 30 minutes 💅💅

[frozen lantern]

You’ll be fine

They gave me an ecg and put me under observation when my resting heart rate was ranging between 95 and 135 bpm for a few days alongside symptoms of pneumonia

[steep idol]

i was feeling so good at school today but i crashed again

since my appetite is quiete low im sticking to sweet drinks rn

[sudden karma]

Yeah hopefully cause I have 2 tests today and one is for my year 12 subject

[frozen lantern]

I don’t want to go to school today but I don’t have a choice

[sudden karma]

Yeah neither

Just hope I don't die

I only have to technically be there for my first 2 periods so if my heart gets bad again I'm just gonna call my mum

[frozen lantern]

With your heart you gotta take it really damn seriously it’s better to overreact then under react

7 hours 43 minutes approved so far

[patent pecan]

Why's AJ name Grinchy and white now? Is she taking a real hiatus now?

[sudden karma]

AJ left

The server

Might have been something her dad made her do or smth

She's still alive if you guys are wondering, she was practising panning earlier today

[frozen lantern]

Time to start putting clips together from this trip

I’ve been tasked to make a video

[steep idol]

wat!?

holy crap yeah

she left

[frozen lantern]

That sucks

[coral crescent]

She needed a break, don't blame her at all, I did the same thing

[vivid verge]

i have received an upgrade

sigma 150-600C is now in my possession

very sigma indeed

hey they do cadet flights!!

there was a Lockheed Hudson flyover at point cook last weekend

[vivid verge]

[obsidian jetty]

Yea I’m but nothing major

My friend went on as a co pilot in other planes

[vivid verge]

[obsidian jetty]

They barely do much anyways

[vivid verge]

East Sale has an open day upcoming if you can be bothered to go out there

https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/raaf-base-east-sale-open-day-tickets-1034569985677

[obsidian jetty]

Hell naaaah

I’m still in high school💀

That’s like in Gippsland

I’m near pointcook

[vivid verge]

this may be an ignorant question but like ur parents could drive u or something

[obsidian jetty]

So nah

[obsidian jetty]

No they won’t

[vivid verge]

😔

[obsidian jetty]

I can only go in the city area

[vivid verge]

if ur near point cook u wont be too far from avalon next year

[obsidian jetty]

Ye

I’m like 20min away

Availing was goated last few year

[frozen lantern]

@karmic lily can you please identify this bird for me

[sudden karma]

I'll go with you for sure

[frozen lantern]

I need a bird guy

[sudden karma]

Honestly I'd go down with my dad

[frozen lantern]

I’m trying to convince my parents to let me go with my mate

I want to do the photography and get the patches

[frozen lantern]

My dad wants to get a canvas print of this

Nvm we got it

[obsidian jetty]

gotta wait 2 more years for my graduation then lmao

then i'm kinda free

[coral crescent]

I graduate next year

fucking terrifies me

[coral crescent]

Enjoy Yr10, y11 is hell depending on your subjects

[karmic lily]

Pretty hard to do on silhouette alone.

[frozen lantern]

It’s all good it’s a cormorant

[frozen lantern]

Year 10 is a piece of piss

[coral crescent]

Its easy

yr11 is a pain

[frozen lantern]

I show up a quarter of the time and I have a cert 2 as an elective, I either sit around doing nothing or I half ass all my work and yet I still pass everything no drama

[coral crescent]

yeah I cant do that lol

Im taking Chem, Physics, Spec math, Literature and Math Methods

[frozen lantern]

It’s concerning that I can do that in senior and not only that but I got selected for a bloody award as well

[frozen lantern]

I’m gonna be doing the easiest English and math since I’m doing an alternative course for both of them this year that gives me my tick and a qce point if I pass them

4 points for my cert 2 this year, 8 points and my CASA drone license if I stay at my school and do a cert 3 next year and I hopefully won’t have to do science

[sudden karma]

oh shit yeah I'm older then you lol

I forgot that

[frozen lantern]

The admin side of media in cadets is so boring

[vivid verge]

cant wait to die at 7am maths extension classes

[coral crescent]

Its not that bad at the start of y11

Further Trig is a little overwhelming with all the different terms though

Matrices are easy

[vivid verge]

they put the hardest subject we do in all of yr11 as the first topic apparently

to "weed out the weak"

[coral crescent]

What topic?

Complex numbers?

[obsidian jetty]

I mean it won’t be that bad for bio n Chem right

[coral crescent]

HAHAHHA

HAHAHAH

HAHAHAHHAHAHA

Chemistry is hell

[obsidian jetty]

Jk

[static ruin]

Chemistry is difficult

[coral crescent]

You wanna see my latest assignment?

[static ruin]

It was a very long time ago I was at school, it was one of the more difficult subjects

[obsidian jetty]

My ass is struggling with Chem adv in y10

[vivid verge]

Maths ext
English adv
Chem
Physics

those are my hard subjects

[coral crescent]

Physics is easy

English is easy

[vivid verge]

combinatronics or something

idk

[vivid verge]

my school doesnt even run regular english]

[coral crescent]

oh christ they are throwing you in the deep end lmao

[vivid verge]

fuckin selective school

[obsidian jetty]

I choose Chem over physics

[vivid verge]

gotta go cross campus to do normal and no one can be fucked

[coral crescent]

get used to this

[obsidian jetty]

I barely understand physic

[coral crescent]

this is one of the light assignments

[vivid verge]

physics is fun

[obsidian jetty]

What the fuck

[coral crescent]

Its fairly easy

[static ruin]

Physics is mostly just remembering what equations to apply to a given situation

[coral crescent]

hold on lemme find my big assignment

[vivid verge]

plus the uni course i wanna do has maths adv and physics as reccomended studies

[static ruin]

From memory

[coral crescent]

Basically

its easy in y11 cause all equations are given as well

[vivid verge]

physics teacher at my school is chill af as well

good teacher

[coral crescent]

this is one of my larger chem essays

I've only highlighted the information

this isnt counting the bibliography or repeat methods

[coral crescent]

yeah physics is really easy lol

[obsidian jetty]

my english essay is only 400 words lmao

[coral crescent]

???????

what

[obsidian jetty]

over this

no i'm dead

i barley can write anything over 1000 words

[coral crescent]

English averages anywhere between 800-1200 words

[obsidian jetty]

that shit is worst then english??

[coral crescent]

By leagues

english I can do in a single night

[obsidian jetty]

https://tenor.com/view/tyler-the-creator-necklace-yonkers-reaction-gif-7971335176165888017

[coral crescent]

this is what an A grade paragraph looks like

For english

Really easy

[obsidian jetty]

my english is trash af

i'm just getting tutored resently

[coral crescent]

Tutoring is handy

[obsidian jetty]

ong

[sudden karma]

You should see my english language paragraphs lmao
@delicate storm knows the pain

500 words to answer some questions cause theyre so vauge

[coral crescent]

Its easy

english is by far my easiest subject

math methods is barely harder

[static ruin]

It was one of my worst subjects back in the day, was really bad at bsing and finding random meanings in whatever texts it was we had to study

[obsidian jetty]

tbh last exam i wrote gibrrish😭

[coral crescent]

yeah thats a speciality of mine lmao

[sudden karma]

English language isn't hard
It's just alot to memorise and Ive never been able to so I struggle

[coral crescent]

I don't know how I get some of my english grades, I'd give that paragraph I just sent a B- at max

[static ruin]

I still remember my HSC creative writing was just a mix of stargate, farscape and firefly, I have 0 creativity, so basically just mashed together scifi tv shows I watched around that time

[sudden karma]

You had tv growing up???

wow

[static ruin]

It was even colour tv!

Can't remember if the tv was 1080p though, from memory 720 was the "High definition" that was hyped up

[sudden karma]

we had 720 growing up so it was prolly 720 or 480 tbh

[static ruin]

It was definitely 720 at that point, just not sure it was 1080p

[sudden karma]

Maybe high end TVs

But off memory we had a top of the line 40 inch tv and that was only 1080

That was like 2010 tv

[static ruin]

It was around that time when 1080 started to become more a thing, I remember my dad and brother going halves in a second tv to play the xbox at 1080, was a "cheap" Aldi tv

So goes without saying the colours weren't particularly amazing, but it was 1080p!

[sudden karma]

I fucking love aldi

[coral crescent]

sadly dont have an aldi here lol

was great back in qld

[static ruin]

Was probably stolen

[coral crescent]

Not wrong

[obsidian jetty]

tbh when i wrote it i thought i was cooking hard

[coral crescent]

I cooked on my last assignment

[obsidian jetty]

i forgot 90% of the commas and full stops

[coral crescent]

Use grammarly

easiest thing to bump up your english

Had mine since year 7

[obsidian jetty]

not allowed using computers

for exam and cats

all hand written

[coral crescent]

oh you're talking about an exam

tough

[obsidian jetty]

and assesment

[coral crescent]

? You're not allowed a computer

[obsidian jetty]

ye

all hand written

[coral crescent]

the fuck

I would hang

[obsidian jetty]

tbh wyndam area

schools are all shit

[coral crescent]

Mf I live in Alice springs

[obsidian jetty]

💀

bro is in the middle of nowhere

[coral crescent]

yeah and Im still allowed to use a laptop

[obsidian jetty]

lucky af

[coral crescent]

no wonder your essays are 400 words

writing out 1000 is atrocious

[obsidian jetty]

bro back in year 8 and 9 we are still somewhat allow it

but now

no one can use it

[coral crescent]

that makes no sense jfc

[obsidian jetty]

is just the new principals

so shit

[coral crescent]

It should be fine in Y11

What state are you in

[delicate storm]

REALLLLLLL section a is the death of me

i literally have my essays down

but how the FUCK am i going to learn every single type of patterning and the difference between discourse features and strategies

[delicate storm]

in victoria you need to apply for special provisions to get a laptop to type exams and have a reason for it e.g. disability

[coral crescent]

I get that for exams

but not for assignments

[delicate storm]

i can use a laptop but getting all the testing i needed to apply took like a month

[patent pecan]

lol AJ must be bored as hell without photography lounge. It's not much of a break if she's still private messaging all of the users instead!!

[static ruin]

It's still a break nonetheless, removes some of the temptation

[patent pecan]

You're right. It is why I started running again and more out of town adventures

I feel like i've been on my computer the wayI was when i was in school

[obsidian jetty]

vic

[coral crescent]

Here every assignment is required to get sent to SACE (VTAC in your case) for moderation

99% sure they won't accept handwritten and scanned stuff

Not for 2000 word essays thats for sure

[static ruin]

I go through phases, though as a general rule I prioritize anything in life before computer

[coral crescent]

I dipped for a while cause I didnt like quite a bit of the stuff going on

but also cause Im in y11 now

[patent pecan]

Ya. I do enjoy PL though. First time I've felt like i've been in an online community since counterstrike source days

[static ruin]

Nice

There's a few I've had like that over the years, one group I'm in for a game I've met a heap of people over the years, always fun putting a face to names

And know them well enough that when we meet in person, it's basically as if we're rl friends anyway so all the banter is there

[patent pecan]

I agree

[coral crescent]

Last time was fun

[static ruin]

Most amusing one from that group is one I met in Canada, was a very last minute thing, just mentioned he lived in a place I stayed at for a night

[coral crescent]

It'll never happen again though, everyones busy now lmao

[static ruin]

Guy made significantly more puns than me, his wife and kid was with him, wifes just face palming as we're throwing puns back and forth

[coral crescent]

Havent heard from fraugie in time

[patent pecan]

I only ever met 1 person from CSS, but was still pretty cool. I was only 15-17 at the time though

[static ruin]

Ah fair

[coral crescent]

Ionas in Asia, Robins busy with photo stuff, Im in Alice

[static ruin]

For me it's eve, used to spend far too much time, but it's also a very social game where any serious group requires you to use voice chat constantly, so you get to know people very well

Every year there's an Aussie meetup that's basically a weekend pubcrawl, few devs fly down from iceland, so met some yearly for basically the last decade

[coral crescent]

thats fun lmao

[patent pecan]

that's pretty cool. never played eve before - my brother played a little bit

[static ruin]

I'd not recommend it now

I only stick around because of that social interaction now, easiest way to maintain contact with some

[patent pecan]

I did know quite a few cool people via counterstrike though. One is a gold medalist in the most recent comm and olympic games for belladrome cycling

[static ruin]

Ah nice

[patent pecan]

Sam Welsford I think his IRL name is

[coral crescent]

Im only doing photography seriously cause of an Overwatch game

funny how that works

and how crazy the results of have been lmao

[patent pecan]

Automotive photography for me is because of a CS player. He has some crazy roller photos of a NSX that I fell inlove with

[coral crescent]

From travelling to Japan to being featured in queensland museum

all cause of an overwatch game lmao

[coral crescent]

The guy I met was a streamer, I know him really damn well now, lives in Melb

He had a community, they had a photo sharing channel

I posted there, newbie shit but enough that everyone thinks you're amazing lol

Realised that i had a spare camera lying around at home

took to this one road trip

history from there ig lmao

[patent pecan]

Lol thats how I feel about a lot of my photos. I love showing my friends and colleagues. They think everything is amazing because the best they see/take is candid phone stuff

[coral crescent]

Yep

[patent pecan]

It's what keeps me going though

[coral crescent]

I can show them what I consider to be dogshit

and they'll go crazy

[obsidian jetty]

Ok then we fine then

[coral crescent]

That's how it started for me

[static ruin]

For me Astro is effectively what led to photography

[coral crescent]

Now it's just the satisfaction of creating something insane

[static ruin]

Always had the astro interest as a kid, had a shitty telescope that put me off it more than anything as a teen

Then in Canada there was a planetarium setup outside the hotel, was like damn you can actually see things.. Had a scope a month after getting back, got the 700d with plans of modding it and getting into AP... That never happened, but also picked up hiking more around then, started taking it

[steep idol]

hey guys i just woke up from deep slumber

[patent pecan]

That's wild to me. Astro has always has such very little interest to me. But I enjoy other peoples joy that they get to take a 'once in a lifetime' shot of something that'll never pass by them again

[patent pecan]

Good morning

[steep idol]

its almost 9

pm

[patent pecan]

As well as the level of research/planning it requires. I respect that

[static ruin]

I'm still very much into astro, I'm just mostly on the observing side and don't take photos, seen a heck of a lot over the years. But it's also why I have in depth technical knowledge on cameras, even though I never committed to an imaging rig, it's where I learnt about cameras

[patent pecan]

I had a lady contact to me today about wanting me to shoot some headshots and marketing stuff for her. I'm not sure how I feel about doing it lol

[patent pecan]

I can appreciate that

[static ruin]

Don't see as much structure as photos, but there's definitely a different feeling to actually seeing things rather than a photo for astro... That, and my eyes aren't going to get any better, so mightaswell enjoy it now

[patent pecan]

Yeah, I'm trying my best to live in that farame of mind lately. I've been working flat bikkie since I was 16, doing fuck all travel/trying new things

Photography is allowing me to do that

[static ruin]

Another live photo of me. G4 solar storm in the predictions for potentially tomorrow night, so big Aurora.

Nothing but cloud forecasted. Bathurst looks fine, checks accomodation: realizes Bathurst 1000 is on after seeing prices at $600-700+ for 1 night

Another big Aurora write off I think

[sudden karma]

I agree
I feel mostly welcome here and there's always you guys to chat to

Sal has quite literally helped with my depression more then my parents after all

[sudden karma]

I DO NOT KNOW HOW IM GONNA GET EVERYTHING DOWN BY THE 30TH

IM SO STRESSED

[delicate storm]

i have shit mostly down but all the types of patterning and discourse features/strategies are the death of me

also anything about "how does this speaker use language to express identity" FUCK OFF!!!!!

[sudden karma]

I have so much to memorise between now and then and I'm trying to prioritise my heart health

[delicate storm]

like i can do those questions theyre just annoying

[sudden karma]

SO MANY VARIABLES

I CANT FORM A THOUGHT ATM CAUSE MY BRAIN IS SO OVERLOADED

[sudden karma]

Yeah and they're oddly specific aswell

You cant be as vague as you want to be

[delicate storm]

my english/media/VET exams are going to be pretty chill but religion and politics............ if those exams were anything but my last 2 i wojld kay em ess

[sudden karma]

wait are you doing year 12 media

if so is it easy

Cause I'm doing it next year

[delicate storm]

it is a big workload but theres nowhere near as much theory work as in other subjects like

most of your work will go towards your folio which shows your planning and production of like, a media production of your choice

if you do photography for it you have to do a series of at least 10 images btw

there are two theory units

one of them is analysing a film and its about how the contexts behind a film influence their production and how different media codes and conventions were used to portray certain things

one of them is basically about who has control over media (corporations or audiences), how social media has changed media creation distribution and consumption, and also about ethical and legal issues in the media

[sudden karma]

Oh that's not too bad

I feel like for me it's just going to be a big workload but it's something I enjoy so I should be alright

Year 11 media this year has been so fucking boring

We did a short film in a group and my group is literally incapable of doing work so I ended up doing most of the work so it looked decent

which I'm fine with cause it's my best subject

I've dropped 1 single mark all year

😡

[frozen lantern]

There’s a reason I don’t do media at school

If I do media at school I have to work in boring environments with beginner level gear and incompetent people

If I do media outside school I get work in all sorts of cool and exciting environments with my good gear and I work alone

[delicate storm]

i forgot to mention that in media its centred around making a commercial production so like, you need to have a target audience and make choices in your production to appeal to them etc.

[sudden karma]

It's more cause she's teaching stuff like rule of thirds and stuff but that's stuff I learnt 6 years ago lol

[sudden karma]

Yeah it's like that in year 11 aswell so not too big of a suprise

[delicate storm]

you couldnt use your own gear for media??? i used my own

tbf i dont really have good gear myself but im planning on upgrading

the people thing is so real though like, even for mine i did most things on my own but i wish i had professional models that could do like, more interesting shit i guess and i wish i had a model that was as passionate as i was so i could spend some time properly styling them and that

[sudden karma]

I had a really good script, I'll send it in my free period, and they completely butchered the whole thing

It had so much potential it was a cool idea but poorly executed

Final product is due today and it's gonna be straight ass I reckon

[frozen lantern]

I don’t need models which is fortunate for me because I do candid portraiture with my unit

[frozen lantern]

What are you running with

[patent pecan]

Trying to scout a sunset spot that’s a little different to my usual

Thinking here

[frozen lantern]

If that tree line right in the back with that middle tree that’s sitting just off to the right being silhouetted it could look pretty good

When I do sunset shots having trees silhouetted at the bottom of the frame is an absolute must

[patent pecan]

This is my current set up for it

[frozen lantern]

Yeah nice that angle works

It looks a bit different in a good way

[patent pecan]

Yeah can’t wait to get home and edit it now

[coral crescent]

@vivid verge I got my grade on this back

got marked down from an A+ to an A because I captilised "l" in HCL. Also cause I left some numbers as digits rather than words

annoying as lmao

[frozen lantern]

I wish I could get an A on my stuff

Then again I half ass the majority of my work and don’t really try yet I get straight B’s for the most part

[sudden karma]

for those that have been following along with my heart fiasco
I'm getting it checked out tommorow by the doctor

It's possible it's just a panic attack and my heart is fucked because of that but I'm not taking any risks at all

[frozen lantern]

If you haven’t had an ecg before it doesn’t hurt but they put adhesive things on you and if the room is cold it’s a little unpleasant

Especially the ones that go on your chest

[sudden karma]

I'll be honest I'd rather be uncomfortable then dying without know what's wrong with me

[frozen lantern]

Yeah the ecg actually isn’t that bad the adhesive on the sticky things is just cold and it’s unpleasant

The things they stick onto you get connected to electrocardiograph machine and it does a scan of your heart or something I don’t know what exactly it does but it works in someway or another

[frozen lantern]

Do I shoot in uniform or the type of clothes that you would wear when you’re doing physical activity

[static ruin]

If any Aussies are awake, aurora could spike very soon, chance of it even being visible as far north as Alice

On photo anyway, I got nothing yet

[static ruin]

Phone photo, was very easily naked eye visible for a little while here up in Sydney

[sudden karma]

I saw the noti just now 💔💔

I needed sleep tho even if I saw your message

[patent pecan]

Crikey. Uncle Punth taking a sickie today by the looks of it. Cool as fuck

[static ruin]

No I'm still going to work.. I'll pay for it tonight and sleep early

Went to bed early last night knowing there was a decent chance early hours of our morning, set an alarm.. phone woke up up before going ballistic with non stop notifications for aurora

[vivid verge]

lmao thats fucked

[sudden karma]

@vivid verge AHHHH

[vivid verge]

rahhhhhhhh

i'll be there

[sudden karma]

Practise 3 rnnnn

[static ruin]

Just don't look at accomodation prices at Bathurst for it

[sudden karma]

Peak

My dream is to go watch live one day

[vivid verge]

im driving down and back in a day

up at 5am, home at 11pm

[static ruin]

Ah fair, enjoy

Going this weekend?

[patent pecan]

Screw that. I drink too much at the V8's to want to do that

It's a blessing to have one in Townsville

[sudden karma]

Blessing to have an enduro at Sandown haha

[sudden karma]

I didn't get an ECG but they did do a blood test

More as a precaution then anything else

doctor thinks its mostly cause of my anxiety

[frozen lantern]

Geez that’s even worse

I hate needles

[sudden karma]

I don't mind needles

[frozen lantern]

There’s few things that I hate more then needles

[delicate storm]

[coral crescent]

Fair enough ig

[sudden karma]

I'm only doing 4 classes next year and I can technically only have to do 3

[coral crescent]

Ah what classes?

[frozen lantern]

I’m enlisting in the navy I don’t need atar

[sudden karma]

Means year 12 is alot less stressful for me

[delicate storm]

ill have 6 vce subjects so if i tank at one or two of them im so chill

[coral crescent]

I couldn't, my subjects are too painful

[sudden karma]

I'm doing math media and revolutions

[coral crescent]

Oh

Fair enough

[sudden karma]

Next year

[delicate storm]

cant relate i did studio arts accelerated LMFAO

[sudden karma]

Theyre easy and they scale down so not the best but yeah lil

[frozen lantern]

I’m doing aquatics, psychology, furnishing and cert 3 aviation

[sudden karma]

I'm doing 2 year 12 subjects this year and it's been good so far

[coral crescent]

yeah I'm taking specialist math (maths extension), math methods (maths advanced), chemistry, physics and literature lmao

[delicate storm]

i think its better to just do what you like even if it scales down like, if you get high study scores it wont scale down twice as much

i got a raw 42 in art and thatll probably only scale down to a 39-40

[frozen lantern]

I’m doing essential English and math and I’m not doing science for year 11

[coral crescent]

A 42 only to a 39 in art???

[sudden karma]

Nerd

[coral crescent]

I swear it went down to 36 last I checked, it's why I didn't even consider it as a subject

[delicate storm]

the higher score you get the less itll scale down like

if i got a 30 something i would be cooked

[sudden karma]

Exactly. You're also more likely to do well in subjects you like

[frozen lantern]

I’m a few weeks from finishing my cert 2 that’s worth 4 qce points and then my cert 3 aviation next year is 8 points plus I’ll get my drone license

[coral crescent]

Depends a lot in the subject

A 31 in specialist math scales to a 43

[frozen lantern]

In the subjects you like you actually pay attention and you try because it’s what you enjoy

[sudden karma]

exactly

media atm is boring but its a subject i like

[delicate storm]

i misspoke there, itll scale more the closer you are to a 30 basically, because a 30 is a pretty average study score on the bell curve of study scores

[frozen lantern]

I temporarily need a lav mic but don’t have one

I need one tomorrow I only just got approval for the project I need it for an hour and a half ago

[sudden karma]

my goal of a 42 in outdoor ed scales to like 35 😭

[delicate storm]

OH GODDDDDD what do you do in outdoor ed btw ive never heard of it

[sudden karma]

learn about plants and shit

oh how does this person having a house here affect the air quality of the great ottway national park

its a bunch of bull shit but its an easy subject i could finish this year

[frozen lantern]

Fuck I need lav mics tomorrow but don’t have any

[static ruin]

Hoping for round #2 of aurora before this cloud and potential thunderstorms take over

From chasing geomagnetic storms to chasing regular thunderstorms perhaps

[sudden karma]

It's visible here in Victoria hopefully

I don't think I'm high enough to clear the trees but we'll see

With this it should be lmao

[static ruin]

It'll come in bursts, assuming you have clear skies, there's a solid chance you get it if you have patience

It's a race against time here with cloud

[sudden karma]

We should be alright

[static ruin]

Nice, hopefully it gives something good enough to be seen, was only brief for me before sunrise, but seeing it dance across the sky was really nice

[sudden karma]

Hopefully it's good tonight

I think the aurora's will be done tommorow so it's sad

[static ruin]

I'm surprised conditions are still as strong as they are now

[sudden karma]

Yeah honestly same

Wish daylight savings wasn't a thing so the sun had set an hour ago

It's not visible 😭

Storms seem to be abating tho

The forecast is kp8

I wish I was in Hobart rn

[patent pecan]

Am I too far north Punth?

[static ruin]

It's visible here

[sudden karma]

bro whattt

I can't see shit

[steep idol]

mannn it sucks being up here

[sudden karma]

I feel like living urban doesn't helpol

The sky has a slightly green tint but that's all I see even on a 13 second exposure

[steep idol]

can you give me raw? maybe i could develop it somehow lol

[sudden karma]

I'm supposed to shoot south right

man I hate the light pollution here

This thing makes bortle 8 astro hard

that's all I see southerly

I don't think I'm high enough above the trees

[static ruin]

If we had what they had in the US earlier tonight you'd see it, tonight 0 chance that far north

[sudden karma]

And I'm still urban asf so I don't think that's helping

Cause there's no way you can see it further north then me puth

[static ruin]

Yes you face south. Is fading again though. Had a minute where it was somewhat easily visible naked eye too

It's still there, just extremely faint again

[sudden karma]

I saw a faint green glow for a little but it's too far behind the trees for me to see

I'm facing south

I'm blocked by a bunch of trees which doesn't help

[static ruin]

Might have been it, you'd have more of a chance of seeing green aurora than I do

[sudden karma]

I think I need a wider lens lol

I was shooting on the 70-300

Sky is purplish on longer exposure

[static ruin]

Phone now is struggling to get anything

[sudden karma]

got the kit lens on now

Sky deffo has more colour then usual

[static ruin]

F, good part of the CME is about to end from the looks, I imagine it'll wind down. Still visible on cam though, just not bright anymore

[sudden karma]

aw

I'm gonna get an aurora photo one of these days

[steep idol]

can anyone give me aurora raws to play around with?

[sudden karma]

Here's a jpeg of what I can see

I can't give you the raws for another minute or so

I think the 18-45mm kit lens is sharper then my 70-300 lol

heres that last raw

i geneunily think the kit lens is better then the 1k tamron lmao

it looks sharpert

diff focal lengths but it still looks ass

@steep idol

[steep idol]

thanks

What i got upping the contrast,

[static ruin]

RF-S 18-45mm?

[sudden karma]

yeah

[sudden karma]

so it was there

[static ruin]

Not surprised, that lens is much better than people give it credit for

[steep idol]

if you can give me the approximate coloutr of the aurora i might be able to contrast it more

[sudden karma]

i dont like the lens too much but its actually not bad

design sucks

[static ruin]

Optically the 18-45 performs similar to much more expensive lenses

[sudden karma]

purble

[sudden karma]

damn

id love to get it better one day

might go out exploring when its forcast next

[steep idol]

it was just chep editing

[sudden karma]

yeah but its still cool to see it was there

[steep idol]

noice

[static ruin]

Had another spike

Was much brighter naked eye than first spike tonight

[left ridge]

I SAW THE AURORA

I didn’t even realize that it was in the area

[static ruin]

Nice!

It's still showing here in Sydney, but dimmer after last burst

[sudden karma]

Buddy's trying to interrupt my shower lol

bro thought he could take me

[sudden karma]

@late parcel

RETURN

[late parcel]

Hiya

[patent pecan]

Welcoback

[late parcel]

Are you drunk

[patent pecan]

Nope

Boutta get icecream tho

[late parcel]

😂 enjoy

Hooroo I’m off again

[static ruin]

Gday

Now that I'm home, one of the cam photos from tonights little activity bursts. Seen a photo of it as far north as Byron bay tonight

[late parcel]

So pretyyyyy

[frozen lantern]

Wait you’re back

[frozen lantern]

Damn it I’m further north then that

[patent pecan]

The BOM reposted my mates capture haha

[late parcel]

Awww yayyyyy

[frozen lantern]

That’s sick

I don’t know why but that shot makes me think of the northern lights and I mean that in a good way

[steep idol]

Bunny?!

[steep idol]

awsome!

[frozen lantern]

Day 1 of directing my first official project

[feral cargo]

good luck!

[frozen lantern]

Cheers I appreciate it

Can’t wait to get on location and start working

[feral cargo]

yea hope all goes well!

[frozen lantern]

Yeah me too lol

I’m on location I love being here in the mornings it’s really quite pretty especially watching sunrise

[feral cargo]

[frozen lantern]

Just gotta talk to the boss here

Making sure he knows what’s up

[patent pecan]

I may have just bought a 200-600

Fuck sake

[static ruin]

Nice, welcome to the club!

[patent pecan]

Thank you. Scored used for $1800

[sudden karma]

not too shabby

[frozen lantern]

Day 1 is finished

Had to do some behind the scenes footage as well

[sudden karma]

Horray

I'm almost done at work

My head is killing me lmao

feel so sick

[vivid verge]

bathurst tomorrow

the ultimate australian day

fighter jets, drinking, and fast cars

[steep idol]

isnt that a 300-900mm FFeq?

[frozen lantern]

I’m just about to get off location

[patent pecan]

Yup. It’s an investment for a near future purpose

[steep idol]

cool, congrats

[static ruin]

Drinking, isn't that every day? /s

[sudden karma]

FUCK YEAH

[vivid verge]

drinkingt from 8am tueday to sundown sunday is only acceptable at bathurst 💪

[static ruin]

of course, they have to somehow use all the allowable limit of alcohol permitted at Bathurst races

That limit being 1 case of beer... Per person... Per day

[sudden karma]

Small limit

that's like 2 hours worth

[sudden karma]

perfect wildlife lens apprently

unless there's one with a fixed aperture

That's according to Ollie Neilson or whatever his name is

He does those super relaxing wildlife videos they're amazing

[static ruin]

You won't get any zooms like that, next step beyond 200-600 is basically a 400 f2.8 or 600 f4 primes

[sudden karma]

Booo

Let me have fun

[untold zenith]

Can y'all help me understand this shit

[vivid verge]

step one

delete ur jetphotos acc

its a shit site thats pretentious as fuck

but the aircraft isn't centred vertically, and the lighting isn't perfect enough for their standards

it is backlit which is pretty bad conditions

[crystal jacinth]

it is not backlit

[vivid verge]

toplit at least

the lighting isn't consistent over the jet

and jetphotos fucking sucks so will reject people for the most minor reasons

jetphotos isn't a photography site, it's a documentation site.

if you want any creative freedom at all don't upload to JP

[patent pecan]

Back at the usual spot for another rather average sunset

But spot the difference

[sudden karma]

filter

[patent pecan]

Nuh uh

[sudden karma]

lens

damn you

wait a sec

that is not the a6400

or whatever cam you have

thats a a7 series lol

[patent pecan]

Megapixels baby

[static ruin]

a7r <insert number>?

[patent pecan]

numero

uhh

quatro?

no

cinco.

dont ask me how to speak spanish

[sudden karma]

A7r5?

[patent pecan]

yeah

[obsidian jetty]

do you live in the city?

[sudden karma]

yeah I live urban lol

I live in Brighton area

[obsidian jetty]

oh brighton

that area is bright

[sudden karma]

Yeah bortle 8 lol

[obsidian jetty]

tbh werriee is much better

my friends say they saw it but i didn't have time

[sudden karma]

you live in the dead ends

My grandparents live over there actually I can't speak shit

[steep idol]

come to darwin, its dark nuff to see starts from ur haus

[obsidian jetty]

Werribee is not that bad

[sudden karma]

When I was in Darwin I got a photo of the stars with a 1/125 exposure on my phone lil

There is no light pollution

[static ruin]

Ended up putting together a little time lapse of it last night here in Sydney area

[obsidian jetty]

at lease is better then melton

[sudden karma]

Perhaps the best spot in Australia to get photos of the stars

[sudden karma]

Better then sunshine for sure

[obsidian jetty]

lmao sunshine

[sudden karma]

that's amazing

[obsidian jetty]

that area is fucked up

[sudden karma]

Was it a video or a fuck ton of photos

[sudden karma]

Dandenong

[static ruin]

Just photos

[obsidian jetty]

frankston

geelong

[static ruin]

I hear sunshine, first thing that comes to mind is sunshine coast

[sudden karma]

Yeah I live on the Frankston line it's hell

[sudden karma]

It's near Melbourne airport

[static ruin]

Ah

[sudden karma]

Dandenong and Frankston are like a tier down from Alice Springs in terms of violence

[steep idol]

not really

[obsidian jetty]

wait isn't weribee line connected to frankson

[sudden karma]

Yeah I can catch a train all the way over to visit you

Goes all the way to Laverton

And I think further

[patent pecan]

Apple TV is perhaps the worst streaming service to exist

[sudden karma]

I agree

[patent pecan]

Just let me watch Ted lasso you unoptimised piece of shit

[sudden karma]

I use an android phone lol

[static ruin]

No idea, too many streaming services now

[obsidian jetty]

yeah it stop at werribee

is the last stop

[frozen lantern]

Which is pretty eh

I’m down at the sunny coast somewhat regularly and it’s pretty mid

[untold zenith]

what would melton be

thats where im around

[sudden karma]

Pretty bad lol

You're close enough to Sunbury

@vivid verge that f-35 flyover was sick as

Hayden Pullen also landed on track lol

straight after Hells corner

[sudden karma]

With the trophey

[vivid verge]

and fucking hit the wall

and then took off

he’s such a dumbass for that

[sudden karma]

eh could be worse

seeing that angle he came in on I'm not surprised tbh

[vivid verge]

that is not the thing to say to that

He didn’t inspect it at all

just took off

directly over the crowd

[sudden karma]

he had a few beers aswell it seems

[sudden karma]

Good end to the race

Blood amazing drive

[frozen lantern]

Should’ve called in technicians before taking off

Yeah he would want to be wheels up quickly but is that worth compromising the safety of yourself and others

[patent pecan]

It had been checked apparently

[sudden karma]

and it was safe?

[vivid verge]

it had not

I was there 👍👍

[vivid verge]

it was not

[frozen lantern]

Better to be cautious when it comes to aircraft everyone knows how their accidents can turn out

[vivid verge]

yep

especially when your takeoff route is directly over thousands of people

[sudden karma]

Yeah I just watched the video wtf was he doing dude

why did he just drive into the wall lmao

[static ruin]

For commerical aviation that's how things go.. general aviation as this would fall under on the other hand, not sure people would want to know half of what goes on lol

[sweet egret]

Yeah definitely, nothing too much has changed with me. A bit stressed out about buying an apartment to shoot photos and work but all is good

[sweet egret]

Property prices are fked, so I'm going to aim to work 6 days

Kind of regret doing a 3 year post grad, set me back about 100k+

[static ruin]

Still doing well to get on the market as painful as it is right now, first few years will be rough, after that it should slowly become smooth sailing

Congrats

I've just been absolutely drenched in a storm, left work a bit early to beat the potential hail core.. some beautiful cloud to ground lightning strikes within 1-2km, first real storm of the season 🙂

Probably be back to blue sky by the time I get home and can use camera

[sudden karma]

its gonna bucket down on friday

should be sick

[static ruin]

Yeah already eying it up as a potential day off, in the unlikely event models hold, may look at heading towards Vic border

Solid supercell potential and 'maybe' weak tornado (be very rural again if it happens), but it's too far out to have any confidence

[static ruin]

I lie, I did get a mini storm chase in... Storm successfully chased away, lightning died out as I got in position

Granted was pushing it already for time

[sudden karma]

Anything is better then nothing

[vivid verge]

he completely lost control on the ground

You can see his rudder input is full left while he’s still turning right

[sudden karma]

crazy wind or something?

I genuinely can't tell tbh

[patent pecan]

judging by the half sideways landing I'd say so lol

no fucking clue about planes, but location probaby didn't help

[sudden karma]

The actual strip should be fine to land on

Almost perfectly straight and it's got a small hill but that's it

actual road is high quality, it's fia grade 3

[vivid verge]

Nup

reasonably calm

had to land with a slight tailwind cause he can’t come in from the other side, but nothing beyond standard

[sudden karma]

So then what the fuck happened to him

I guess he was trying to show off?

[frozen lantern]

Is this overkill?

[steep idol]

finally finished science

kill me

how did i even get into this class

[obsidian jetty]

Finally finish my fucking chem adv task😭🙏

[vivid verge]

yep

[frozen lantern]

After a massive hassle I’m finally going to get my refund from George’s

[static ruin]

What was the refund for?

[static ruin]

Decisions decisions.. need to decide if I go for a big drive Friday assuming I can get the time off for storm chase, potential for some insane storms around NSW/VIC border again, but also probably one of the first times a storm setup here legitimately scares me lol

Basically a repeat of the August outbreak in terms of setup that produced a couple of Tornados, but this time a high chance of giant hail/destructive winds in general

[coral crescent]

storm shooting does sound fun

[static ruin]

It is, but getting hail damage doesn't sound fun 😆

[coral crescent]

yeah sounds reasonable lol

something I do wanna try

but you don't get much out here

[static ruin]

idk maybe, still gotta see what the models show, but this is a very unusual setup, it's something I'm not used to seeing here, it's very similar to a US mid west storm setup, basically all threats including tornado on the cards

Future me problem to decide, could still fall apart between now and then

[coral crescent]

christ storm photography is smth else

[static ruin]

Need to get in position, but yeah there's photos, and just actually seeing it in person is an entirely different thing

[coral crescent]

has to be kinda terrifying

[static ruin]

That particular photo isn't too bad, just looks like a shelf/squall line type thing, usually strong winds and a lot of rain, but typically not too bad

[coral crescent]

I just love the colours on the cloud

those shades of blue + gray are just amazing

[static ruin]

Friday has big supercell potential way south, which are nicknamed motherships for their appearance, beautiful, but also can (and in this case likely) will be very destructive, so need to be very aware if chasing, sort of thing that can easily write off a car lol

Apparently had this down near Ballarat this afternoon, which was definitely unexpected

[sudden karma]

sure it's basically a snapshot but it still looks fucking sick
Sometimes you don't need to plan out the composition to make a sick photo

[frozen lantern]

An order I needed to cancel

[coral crescent]

That one is not a snapshot lol

[static ruin]

It's farmland which is ideal for storm chasing anyway being flat. those areas you just use whatever field is there as the foreground, rarely goes wrong

[steep idol]

i miss bunny being here

[frozen lantern]

@sudden karma I’m gonna try the grimace shake

[frozen lantern]

Don’t we all

[sudden karma]

NOOOOO

DONT

PLEASE

[sudden karma]

same

I get heaps of reels from her throughout the day haha

[frozen lantern]

I have to try it and see what all the hype is about

[sudden karma]

Atleast she's doing something okay for her

[sudden karma]

ok before you try it if you get sick after ingesting alot of sugar be careful

the large has 72g of sugar in it

So please get a fucking small otherwise you're gonna feel sick

@delicate storm I've got some sample answers to part a from my teachers and some other resources do you want me to send them

[steep idol]

thats merely a chew for me - sincerly a cyclist who downs 100+ grams of sugar on a bike ride

[frozen lantern]

I got a medium with my mccrispy meal

[sudden karma]

I eat a whole packet of sour patch kids

peak sugar

[sudden karma]

you're gonna die

been nice knowing you

[delicate storm]

that would be so good omg

[sudden karma]

here's one

[frozen lantern]

It tastes like a vanilla milkshake but it has an odd aftertaste

[sudden karma]

The store you went to. Their shake machine is broken. It's making every flavour shake taste like vanilla and they should fix it

@delicate storm those are the 3 I've got so far

[delicate storm]

thank you so much!!!!!

[sudden karma]

no worries

[steep idol]

best fucking choclate

[sudden karma]

I hate dark chocolate

fight me

[frozen lantern]

Fuck mate let’s throw hands then

Dark chocolate is the shit

[steep idol]

(i just like the cream)

i left my h20 bottle at school

ifg if it was math class or schienza class

[static ruin]

Now where's that ban hammer again..

[steep idol]

oooooh

[vivid verge]

She’s chill rn

She told me she might be back after her exams end

[patent pecan]

That looks fucking delicious

Also, Tia Maria and orange juice is a great alcohol combination

Tastes like these

[sudden karma]

yeah thats right I don't like dark chocolate

Unless it's in a brownie or some shit

[frozen lantern]

Do you not like cherry ripe

[sudden karma]

I do like cherry ripes occasionally

[sudden karma]

my poor toe bro
I just stubbed it

look at own risk

[patent pecan]

Got me on my snack run

[steep idol]

at least your toenail didnt rip out. Twice.

[steep idol]

lessss gooo, lemme know wtyt bout it

[sudden karma]

The top of the toenail has now ripped off

[steep idol]

dam, my condolences man

[sudden karma]

Kinda like when you cut your nails except it was forced

[static ruin]

"1 serve = 4 blocks"... One doesn't eat only 4 blocks

[static ruin]

There we go, Storm happening in Victoria right now, nice little supercell out of nowhere, dropping 6cm+ hail apparently

The dream is to see something like that

[sudden karma]

that's in my state?

Damn

stormy asf the next few days, gonna be hype

It's super humid you can feel it coming

[static ruin]

Was at Horsham

[sudden karma]

yes

that's in victoria

West of me

[static ruin]

Yep

[sudden karma]

So I'll get it while I'm sleeping

[static ruin]

You probably won't get anything tonight

[sudden karma]

I see what you mean

Should be gone by the time it gets here, or if we get something it'll be light

[static ruin]

And going supercell meant it started moving in a more northward direction anyway rather than East

The little cell below is doing the same, picking up some rotation to become another little supercell, and veering more North as a result

[sudden karma]

I wish it stormed more often

I love storms

[static ruin]

Friday is the day

[sudden karma]

I look forward to it

Forecast 5-25mm near me

[static ruin]

Rain amount is meaningless for storm on forecasting, though Melbourne should be south of the significant storms, still has potential for something severe

[patent pecan]

I’ve definitely eaten more than a few servings already. This is fucking delicious, and that’s coming from someone who rarely eats chocolate @steep idol

[static ruin]

Yep, is why I laughed with it lol, never see anyone eat as few as 4 blocks

How are you liking the new cam?

[patent pecan]

I actually only planned on it because it’s usually wayyyy too rich for me. But the creamy baileys is sooo good.

[patent pecan]

Yeah really good, I’m off to magnetic island on a fishing trip this weekend so I’ll take it with me and go shoot when everyone else leaves

The shutter sound is so much more satisfying than the a6700

I get my 200-600 tomorrow

[static ruin]

Nice

[steep idol]

whats the new cam?

[patent pecan]

A7rV

[frozen lantern]

Yeah baileys tastes like a vanilla milkshake

Someone remind me to get a block of this stuff asap

[static ruin]

Here's your reminder to buy a block of it asap

[obsidian jetty]

wtf victoria got tornados????

[static ruin]

This particular cell didn't produce a tornado, did have a very strong hook echo on radar though, so it was a good part of the way to producing one

But yes, there was a couple of tornados at the end of Aug. Friday has tornado potential from northern Vic into NSW, fortunately it'll likely hit rural areas if a storm does manage. Aus gets 60-80 a year on average, just most go unnoticed/unrecorded, typically weak

[obsidian jetty]

ic

[static ruin]

I was hoping to chase, but doesn't look like I'll be able to make it in position early enough tomorrow, so it'll only be local storms if it happens

[frozen lantern]

Thx

I need to try this

[sudden karma]

We love to see

@stuck crystal Australian spotted

Join us

[frozen lantern]

Yay more green and gold

[sudden karma]

@static ruin thunderstorm is starting

got the cam setup incase we get some lightning

[static ruin]

Nice

Honestly surprised you're getting anything right now

[sudden karma]

Just got a huge bolt

Missed it

It might've been just the one strike tho lol

Tommorow will be the day I think

[static ruin]

It will yes

I need to decide if or where I go, be a big drive for anything, just a question of how big

For Melbourne there's the chance of significant storm, nothing dramatic, but yeah mid VIC right up through to mid NSW has a strong supercell storm potential, I'd be more surprised if I don't hear of atleast a tornado tomorrow. For weather nerd like me it's extremely exciting to see this sort of storm setup in Aus, expecting it to just eventually form a big line stretching across most of NSW

[sudden karma]

honestly over the summer holidays if we get some big storms I might come with you

4 hour drive

or 4 hour train

I could genuinely do it and meet you in Albury

[static ruin]

Probably not viable, getting time off is pain, right now my question is whether I can feasibly get there in time or not lol. Also takes a lot for me to even consider the distance, Summer storms become more generic and usually aren't worth the travel

Spring is where the more interesting stuff happens

Right now I'm looking at either Wagga Wagga if I want to travel further and stay, or Bathurst for something closer I can do in a day trip

[frozen lantern]

@patent pecan @steep idol where can I get that baileys old gold from

[steep idol]

woolies usually

why?

[frozen lantern]

Bloody oath I’m about to go to woolies and I need to try this stuff now that I know it exists

[steep idol]

lol

[frozen lantern]

I like dark chocolate and I think baileys would pair rather well with a good dark choccy

[steep idol]

its been out since the begenning of the year i think

[sudden karma]

Could happen one day you never know

When i can drive I will

[sweet egret]

wtf someone is selling a7r4 with 24-70 lense for $1k

lmao

and I dont think it is a scam he gave me an actual address

oh nvm it is a scam

asked for a deposit lol

[static ruin]

It's a scam

You don't see that sort of kit that cheap

[steep idol]

been to the beach

[vivid verge]

the moon was so nice

went to the beach and wish i brought my camera

[steep idol]

i have inevertadly introduced the chat to baileys dark choco

saw it on an ad and having tried irish creame coffee creamer i was defo interested

[static ruin]

I'll have to try sometime

[static ruin]

Yeah change of plans, I somehow didn't look at the crime rate for Wagga, I think it's back to day trip at best for storm 😆

Probably be fine, but eh, things like car thefts are high

Coastal may be fine south of Sydney though, 0 chance of tornadic, but may be photogenic

Can’t be worse than Townsville or Alice

Also fuck me I’ve been driving since 6am and I just got home

[static ruin]

It's probably fine, but still got me second guessing myself lol

[patent pecan]

I only drove 4 hours away

[static ruin]

If I had a bullbar I'd consider just driving home, but night time without through rural sounds like a terrible idea

But yeah South Sydney may get decent lightning storms at night, so that'll be fun anyway if it happens, and can just do it in a single trip

Tbh night times not too bad. Early mornings the worst for Roos I’ve found. I didn’t see a single one tonight

[static ruin]

Maybe, still not worth the risk, see a heck of a lot driving back from my bortle 2 site when I go out for astro

100km/hr road, I laugh... and do 30ish at night, had a few dart out in front of the car at like 1am
