uh sure
photographing the weekend as a indiependant
sick! how'd it happen lol
i was talking to someone (aka my support worker, and before you ask yes i am disabled) and i said how i liked travel and F1 and he said "why dont you go photograph the F1 then?" I said "true" and am currently writing to my photography mentor who has some buddies at the FIA from his F1 shooting days and i might get a pass
If you get an opportunity like that I think you should take it
yeah no reason to say no there bud
hell yes
theres no way you should opt out
its a great way to build your portfolio and also gain more coverage
but you see their is a fear
there is a man i fear more than satan
fair enough
who
I HAVE SEVERE SOCIAL ANXITEY AND MEETING HIM WOULD RUIN IT
An accredited F1 photographer whoās passionate about the human side of the sport. I take a different approach to covering F1, focusing more on the people than the racing. Covering the goings-on behind the scenes with F1 drivers, team members, wives, girlfriends and fans.
Visit https://www.prostarpics.com for all my photos from the track.
Head...
who wouldnt
oh, this guy
yeah ive seen him on the internet before
honestly, my social anxiety would also destroy me
also im the alumni of a guy who's shot the AGP 15 times
Lmao Iām pretty sure most of us would be pulling this shit if we met him
Iām not you so in the end, whether youāre willing to take the chance is up to you, but honestly i think youāll be fine
Heās there to do his job, and unless you try to talk to him iād assume he wonāt talk to you lol
I'm not surprised
It's basically straight sugar
I don't know what you expected lol
Wait until you discover espresso flavoured crampfix
does it taste like pickle juice and espresso?
No, imagine the smell of white vinegar and multiply the strength of the smell by ten then add a hint of bleach. Thatās what it tastes like
It tastes absolutely vile my god the name is far from a lie
i dread the day i will have to use it
None of the stuff crampfix makes tastes even remotely good but espresso is for sure the worst flavour Iāve had
The products taste absolutely foul but they bloody work
š
That explains the vinegar taste
Goddamnit thereās a cool exhibit at the MCA in Sydney so now I think Iām gonna have to do a Sydney / Canberra trip later this year
MCA?
museeeeum of contemporary art australia
will have a cool thing from the thai director who did memoria with tilda swinton
i dont remember his name (its too fucking long sorry i love your work)
Never wouldāve ended up guessing that
the whole point of them is to shock you
actually ingesting them isnāt that important
so they sort of have to have that flavour lmao
hello there fellow aussies
sup man
sup
sup
Howās it going
Boss gave me a grand bonus for hire work I did with the townsville500 blimey
Red
HUGE
sick
Well Iām going to Japan soon so that probably
my front chainring is bent š
how
Might need that bonus then lol
Canāt exactly complain about the prices on gear over there
Boss is refusing to let us work overtime š„²
Itās nice to leave work when Iām supposed to. But Iām barely getting by, even with my overtime pay
dang, sorry about that man
Ok that emoji looks kinda like two frogs swapping saliva wtf 
Sell one of ya 40 falcons
Though this does sound very typical for a non mature aged LV apprentice
The au is for sale
@patent pecan Falcon has been sold
How much
Unregistered, not even blue slipped with 400000 kms
Needs suspension work and has a timing cover leak
1 window works
hi chat
ffff i think iām going to need to get on that nas server stuff soon
ive gotten into building my music library again in the last year and i am running out of storage quickly
Be laughing if it were suppose to come down next yer
lol yea
@elfin scaffold I spy an Australian
Uh oh
I pulled uwu
yep
A bet is a bet
its only 24h
Lmao
Bit cold this morning
and yet somehow, some people still wear shorts and a t shirt
huge
Welcome to the club
pretty warm up here tho
Same here
time to play some arma 3
Time to pack and then video games
Iām going out camping for the weekend so Iāve gotta pack
Itās been wet so Iām gonna have to get the hoochie out just to be safe
regular melbourne weather
bro im dying tommorow its raining all day and im out in the rain all day
I have to go out in the rainforest and itās gonna be raining itāll be so humid or cold
oof
I love the rain
for shoooting
usually iwould but sandown has like no cover on the inside of the track
hopefully the rain is nice and intermittant so i can survive
Ohhh
My mate went today
I was going to go but I've fucked my knee
Dr said 6 weeks rest 
Also throw in wind with that
aw
as soon as i get soaked through itll be hell yeah
That wind will be what chills you to your bones
its gonna be like 30km/h the bom says so fuck me
im gonna have to find it its somewheare in my wardrobe
š¤Ø
oh so I have to act like some corporate IT professional now?
It does in fact get worse than mine i guess
The AUās are seeing a revival from gen Z
Semi-related but XR6Ts are dropping in price @late parcel š
Not kept up entirely, has surprised me how well some of the falcons have held their value, even post absurd pricing a few years ago of every car
My mothers ED falcon is still going.
It developed a nasty electrical gremlin a year ago, a local wrecker had the right parts, put them in and it's still going.
Try doing that with a friggin Tesla.
yeah ig
its been over 24h, you can remove it now
ive got a trial as a nightclub photographer tonight guys
if they like my photos ill be the photographer every saturday night
wish me luck guys i hope i get this job
TRUEEEEEEEEEEEE i think so
this is my first time doing an event thats like, not a concert
im kinda scared'
i think i'll do well though
Just remember to take your lens hood, flare isn't your friend here.
They do hold value which is nice, I think prices dropping is because everyone is broke af so no money for toys.
@static ruin I hope to have one of these in the near future
Aah fair point
Just for posterity..
this shall be remembered forever
Oooo
They never died
My boyfriends daily and my falcons
i have mine on all the time thankfully!!
finlandia?
No
alr time to break my PC
Where is this for?
rolling shutter in action
https://www.reddit.com/r/Motorsportphotography/s/Q9RM9cANEd hmmm this style looks familiar @sudden karma
#1383876387365978202 message
This is more my style
I'm quite a bit better than this guys panning shots cause I've done so many now
So I go alot slower than them
@ebon mango australian found!
New Aussie Unlocked!
we must find more
There's definitely more, seen a few around, just not pinged them here if they're not all that active
With a cohort of 29K photographers on this server there are bound to be more Aussies than what show up in here.
I finally created a basic profile to get my scans of Harman Redscale to look how they should - the scans I got from the lab were complete rubbish.
It's an instesting film to work with. It has a tonal range that is narrower than Velvia 50, which is odd for a negative film.
ooh, fancy film
Smeet Day?
fuck yeah take photos of sheep
ive got a date with an old german dude who maintains a church organ and hes gonna play me some songs
Thatās pretty fucking sick
Enjoy the trip
He didn't say NZ
More likely than not we don't really see anything, interesting to see Australia mentioned in the tsunami watch for potential 0.3 to 1m above normal tide from American department
Nothing from BOM
NZ's bureau has the same as the US mentioned for them, 0.3 to 1m plausible
smeet day š
@vivid verge I got a patch from one of the American ships here on TS
I got a challenge coin from USS San Diego
Patch from USS Rushmore and coin from USS San Diego
What a day
Sick as
A crew member of these MH-60s wanted my photos so I sent them to him and he said hed send me a patch and coin in return
sick. It's a shame the heat distortion ruined the focus on the second helicopter
the first one is soft enough š¤š¤
shouldāve gone a higher shutter, didnāt make the same mistake with the Aussie Blackhawks that came later
nice n sharp
crew also wanted those photos cause one of the blokes on board it was his final flight, but they didnāt give me a patch š
Yeah second ones great
A lot of military seem to be like that
Theyāre working they didnāt have to take that minute out of their day to give me that experience but they still chose to
Yeh itās always epic when they do
Iāve had a few aussies ask for images before but the Americans are the first to give me anything in return lmao
Editing the colours in the background was a bitch. Still not super happy with it
Some guys seem really happy to do it
Giving away your patch is an ordinary thing hell we do it in cadets at every multi unit activity but it makes someoneās day
handled some Cobalt-60 today :)
I love Talisman Sabre
Havenāt had sour cherry but doubt itās good
i doubt anything made by this company tastes good
probably not their fault tho tbh
Not meant to taste good, itās meant to fix cramps as the name suggests and damn it to hell it works
Their name isnāt a lie their products definitely fix cramps
should i buy some for next years gran fondeau? (the sachet ones)
Up to you, if itās something next year Iād probably wait until closer to the day
I havenāt used it during any type of sport so donāt take me at my word
Purely assumption that itās good for sport, Iāve only used it around the house
The hell is that
āØvinegarāØ
anti cramping
what are you doing that makes your mouth cramp
Thatās what Iām confused on
Fuck man I'm in like the heat of exams when that happens
Itās been cold today
huge well done!!!!!
They were so good. Def go
Gl! Future Leica shooter when you're on that Doctors money
He has to get a Leica he's going to be a doctor
šššš
Congratze
chewing gum for too long maybe or maybe some dental work lmao
š„
GPU on its last legs
only way to keep it stable
one day š

This weather is shit
Looks like the major snowfall in Northern NSW actually happened around Guyra/Armidale, been snow around Toowoomba
Damn wow
Il about to go bring my bf a towel and some clothes because he got drenched fixing a car in this weather. Itās shitty
Ouch
Yeah it's not so fun, you'll probably some of the heavier stuff later
Or be close to
It was pretty heavy an hour or so ago. Couldnāt hear anything other than the rain
My tonneau is now a pool
Has a chance of picking up later once the low pressure is actually closed off/established, last I checked 100km/hr gusts on Newcastle coast are very much possible from late evening
ay nice pool
@steep idol Iāve had crampfix before but I couldnāt anticipate the taste of the sour cherry stuff
This is what I had to play footy on this morning
oof
Yeah not fun. I usually watch my boyfriends little brothers footy games on Saturdays but it was cancelled for us
It was so much fun
mudpit
The other team were cunts there was a few fights but we smashed em anyway
š yikes
talking to americans about australian things is one of my fav things like
today i was on a call with some ppl i know from the US that like, they all make rap music
and i was talking about how i only knew about lupe fiasco bc of the song battle scars by guy sebastian
and i was like
oh yeah i just thought of lupe as the battle scars guy
they thought that was like the funniest shit ever
lol the game i was watching had the same happen lmao
@vivid verge i got a ticket to see knights vs panthers this Friday
nice lol
hope you donāt get smacked
Need that 5peat
@sudden karma
Remember how I was kicked out of the main house and into the granny flat?
Yup
Well, mums got friends coming to stay with us
So Iām being kicked back into the main house
Oh no
And Iāve been given until I leave for work tomorrow to move my stuff
Bruh
Anything left behind will be thrown out, donated or sold.. and theyāll keep the money
Bruh wtf man
So far got my guitars, cameras and my work clothes back in the house
Still got to get all my models and my normal clothes, tools and car parts
Anyone see the protests in Melbourne this afternoon?
isnt there always one?
too true
sydney harbour bridge got completely filled by protesters too
Every week for 93 weeks running yeah, but today was different
Professional troublemakers from land forces were going to be there, and the protestors goal was to block an important bridge
Happy it happened on Sunday rather than during the week
the police blocked the bridge so that protesters couldn't block the bridge
great move from vicpol totally!!!
God they're always in the city when I'm there and it's always in my way
Like I support your cause but can you just fucking let me through instead of entirely blocking the area around Flinders Street
I was talking to one of the S/SGTs about this, like protest sure and something needs to be done but people used to pay attention, now it's just an inconvenience
Exactly, it's been going on for so long people just ignore you now
Police could unblock the bridge whenever they needed to, protestors don't have emergency services radios
Yup, 93 weeks running is a bit much
It's becoming a major inconvenience for tourists too
Atleast we as locals know where we are
Except yesterday they didn't follow the plan
They were supposed to go along Swanston and right down Flinders to King St
Police were going to stop them at Flinders and Swanston
Instead, the protestors went right down Bourke then down King St
u live i melburn?
It's a double edged sword, I find it mostly annoying.. but also rather keep the right to protest, just glad it wasn't when I'm in the city
Also by nature of not liking concrete jungle and going away from city on weekends I tend not to see much
Yup
Practically canāt go to Melbourne without dealing with protesters
over a year straight is crzy
at some point its been going for so long that it just becomes a background
search up alarm fatigue
me every morning refusing to leave the bed
My bed is so warm
I set multiple alarms for that reason, both phone and alarm clock. That said my body clock has pretty well adjusted so isn't an issue now
Was annoyed a few weeks ago though, was away for a weekend trip, woke up at 4am for sunrise photos... Body clock even the following weekend had me waking up at 4, was like God damn I just want to sleep in
I'm pretty good for the first alarm tbh
went to a recently opened climbing gym today
ow
it stings
i could feel my arms being floppy tomorrow
i went to a really cool cafe today that had a ton of photography/design/art books around today for my uni class
its really nice to be able to look at actual photography books
instead of instagram
REAL!!
please help keep this thread alive š https://discord.com/channels/728905379274162177/1258500836657467512
but thats really cool love this
@sudden karma
Hi
Lol Iām homeless now
No lmao
Call clay
He knows. Heās helping me. I canāt stay with him tonight so Iāll try stay at a friends house
Worst case, falco isnāt too bad to sleep in lol
Mint š
šš
you got this queen
I might finally get a 24-70 2.8
Portraits and working indoors
oh i see
Sometimes on ships I want that extra bit of reach that I donāt get with the 17-40 and having that extra stop never hurts
A 24-70 2.8 would fit really nicely into my current kit
what brand
Iām looking at the first gen Tamron
ok
I know itās certainly not the best lens out there but with the budget Iām working with itāll be the best option
auspost dont be annoying challenge (impossible)
i got a notif saying my order is getting sent back to the sender even though it only arrived in my city today
and they didnt even try to send it to my house
cunts!!!
i was so excited for it too
it was a fisheye lens and ive wanted one since ive started photography
Typical Aus post experience
what are you doing?
Howād you manage to get yourself into that situation
air to air photography with an F35
Well trying to
The RAAF photographers tried everything in their power to stand in my way
cool!
Because theyāre trying to do their jobs
its already been sent back
ive been waiting a month for it already bc it was on backorder
now i need to wait for it to be sent back, to get the refund and then order it again
Is it not going to your local post office for collection?
Sounds strange just immediately going return to sender
it was sent to my mum's work's PO box (my mum didn't know this but it hasn't been paid for for 2 years), then auspost realised and sent it right back to the sender
it was sent there bc it was meant to be my bday present and she didn't want me to see it before my bday
Was this what you were one @frozen lantern
You mean Natu?
Oh lmao whoops yeah @vivid verge
They donāt let me on airplanes yet just boats
I miss going in whirly birds and shit
Was going to say perhaps I'll have to go for a drive to Richmond for that airshow, close enough even though I don't really take aviation photos.. But my weekend is already booked out when it's happening.. Maybe the Sunday
Ordered my 24-70 2.8
nicee
ooh good or bad?
Gotta wait a couple days to hear back from a cardiologist
Probably getting a holter monitor
Oop
Ooop
Oooop

@vast ravine Given it's tradition here when we spot Aussie... Welcome aboard to Aussie lounge!
oh I'm not Australian, those pics were just from a recent vacation there š
Ah, nevermind then, hope you enjoyed the trip
yeah I did
Just seen your photos of our birds
amazing wildlife there
Yep, despite the memes of everything wanting to kill us, we certainly get some good wildlife
during our entire 2 weeks there we only saw like one snake and 2 spiders š
the snake was a common tree snake
I was expecting a lot more tbh lol
I spend a lot of time out bush and only ever seen a single red belly black snake, they're around, most of the time they just want to keep away though
Spiders can vary, I'm active early morning and get a lot of their webs, but still not as bad as the internet claims
how dare you
?
not be Australian
Hey not everyone can be from here
Puther gotta step up his Aussie finding game
Did spot another potential one earlier, but was too new to be able to post here
I just ping them anyway
oh
i may give it a go
its boring
i will be sad when it fails again and gets removed permanently
the view is shit
LOL
Would be wheely bad
oh shut up
i just get bad fomo i think :>
really got me rolling in my seat rn
But yeah I know nothing of the history, just know it's there because it somewhat sticks out
@static ruin i had this moment last night you may appreciate
will trust you on this
I'm proud of you
lowkey just want the docklands to not be shit, which is an impossibble ask
theres one near moorabin airport now
yeah my dad shops there it makes me so sad for his diet
i wasnt sure how to pronounce it until your pun
Thanks
Costco is fine for certain things, definitely not an everyday/routine shop though
For bulk it's great
actually the costco butter chicken
Exactly
for some reason
For anything bulk I'd say it's just about optimal
is out of this fucking world good
Honestly not surprised, not tried it, a lot of their food is actually good
Like essentials and stuff that you might just buy a fuck ton of
They sell like those 30 packs of energy drinks
the last time i visited my dad his fridge was like 40 croissants and a half eaten family sized costco pizza
lol
Kinda perfect for like school lunches and stuff I think
but yeah fuck docklands just do something good with it for the love of god
its actually pretty cool hanging at night in some areas because you get some interesting characters there
like night rollerskating groups
raves under bridges
(that will get shut down by cops but fun while they last)
It's pretty it's just kinda annoying to get to
Like I'd rather go to the CBD and spend time there
real
lol I just drive the whole time thinking my ohone was charging but I plugged it into the wrong charger⦠the one half hanging I it if my work bag š
lol thats kinda true
Australia Post changed their minds again with my 24-70
Now theyāve decided itās coming today
99 year port deal anyone?
@sudden karma I have a 24-70 f/2.8!!!!!
Nice
My first gen Tamron rocked up this afternoon
Hell yeah
Itās exactly how it looked in the ad and everything functions perfectly
my fisheye lens arrived but my mum ordered the wrong mount š
What mount is it for?
very nice
she bought it for sony e mount
i asked for fuji x
found this today
Smeet Day?
Smeet day.
No day off, no smeet day
Still need our public holiday, better yet you could change it to Thursdays
Why Thursday?
why wednesday?
Because on Wednesday I get to leave early and Thursdays are shit
hump day
The great thing about being homeless, Iām in no rush to go anywhere. Watching lightning at the beach

organic chem test tmr
rahhhhh
holy fuck how did a guy get 100% on this test last year
my headphone so open might as well be a speaker
oh wait
i do use it as that sometimes
Things like this make me glad that I donāt need an ATAR
i got a really good atar just to disregard my plan to go to unimelb and go to photography school instead LMFAO
Lithuanians will destroy this chat, mark my words 
nuh uh
test was easier than I thought
what was your atar
92.50
godamn smart
i did pretty well
Ahhh solid

Mag 5.4 earthquake up in QLD this morning apparently, NW of sunshine coast
This maybe super random but just wanted some opinions on my graphic design work for my media arts assessment
@karmic lily Going into Wren season. A few around with their full breeding colours, or close to this afternoon
And a new bird I've not seen in the area, Spotted Pardalote
Yee
Oh you lucky mf
Spotted pardalote
Bumped into another photographer who'd seen both the male and female, so I'll have to revisit
They're not rare but difficult as hellnto get decent photos
Yeah when it was on the open branch my first thought was wtf is that, I'm still very amateur when it comes to identifying, I'd just seen different bird, got excited
They're very small, fast and prefer the crowns of trees
May post more later, was a quick hour walk before I head out for astro.. a more productive hour than I expected
Was only out as part of getting used to this new contact lens wanted something to distract my brain from different vision
Spotted Pardalotes are a favourite but it's killing me trying to get a good shot of one
this is really good!! i just wouldn't have the body text in italics imo
Sure thing Iāll go work on that now haha š
Hello
hi
Hi aj
Hru all
Great, you?
Yayyy

Gosh whatās your story
And I think Australia took home the win at Cazalys
hes like 15 id hope hes not homeless
idk, but its good
Nothing at all, itās monster so I assume it tastes gross
Most likely have, I stopped having energy drinks a couple years ago
I donāt like the taste and it was messing with my anxiety
Itās so goated
Iām addicted now

thats crazy
Hope you can find somewhere soon

lile no calories
idk if im
-Not eting enough
-My maintenance is higher bcz of biking
my doc told me to eat more tho
if the doc said so then it supercedes anything you find online
But working out your maintenance is relatively easy
This calorie calculator estimates the number of calories needed each day to maintain, lose, or gain weight. Learn the kinds of calories and their effects.
Been using for years
Its accurate
2,600 maintenance
similar to mine
Found somewhere for a little bit
ok lol
^ i thought i was gonna fucking die when i chugged a mango loco an hour after my meds
we take similar meds right?
ritalin
oh me too
back then i was taking normal ritalin so it really kicked in hard
but now i take ritalin long acting
smeet day?
We havenāt got the public holiday yet

Do it I'll go on a quest to find it
TRUEEEEEEE

i made one to put near music venues too
i put a qr code in the corner since i took that photo tbh
it's shit but thats the vibe

I dont live in melburn....
YESSSSSSSS
i did the text on the website id use for text when i was learning how to use powerpoint in 2012
it like hasnt changed at all since i used it over 10 years ago its snaxing

No idea, sent a friend request to ask but no reply. Hopefully just a break or just removing discord as a distraction short term
Not accepted yet so not been able to ask
ya hopefully hes a good dude. I sent him a message on IG
hello there aussies
Melbourne isnāt the worst place to live
Iād live there
Or it could be Laura
Wouldnāt wish that on my worst enemy
Imagine living in Laura, whatās even there other than an iga and a toilet block thatās got std and sti posters all over the walls?
Just a mental health break
Heās doing okay
tonys alive just taking a bit of a break for mental reasons
im sure hell be ack
ah yes he told you
imagine scrolling down and reading the whole convo
Ah fair, figured it may be along the lines of that, always nice to know though
oh boy, how is alice? it has to be worse than toowoomba right?
happy friday aussie goobers
Love an early finish on a Friday
i wish my school had early finish on a friday
i cant wait until i finish my last assignment
i wanna plan so many photoshoots
i have one on thursday for an EP cover i'm really excited about that
My school doesnāt have an early finish I just left early
Completely unrelated
lol
me when i missed the last train home from melbourne last night so i had to wait over an hour for a 1am night coach to get home š
im so tired
It is, lost my morning because.. life, probably head out and see if I can find azure kingfishers, they forever evade me
Weather gods still say no to astro tonight though
Bit early to tell if it'll actually happen, is the possibility of a last hurrah of Winter at the end of the week with Major snowfall in NSW right down through Vic
IT IS
i literally watched the last train leave southern cross station like
i was so close to getting it
i wouldve been able to get it easily if i was walking by myself but we had to walk slower to accommodate for my friend who injured his legs
Survival of the fittest c'mon
I've never seen the last train because it doesn't exist on my line
I do guess you catch a blind
Vline
TRUEEEEEE the last train is just before midnight for the ballarst line
after that there's buses at 1:10 and 2:10
Well the Frankston line is down at the moment and I found out the hard way and the replacement buses didn't come for 30 minutes so now I have to walk 5km to my girlfriends house!
Waiting that extra half hour would be quicker
well it's that or 10km/h pace for a 30min
so unless lexi is a pretty good runner wait lol
Todays 'birding' trip
6 minute km for five km isnāt too hard
I'm a pretty damn good runner
My 5k is just around 20 minutes
So it's not bad l9l
Iām probably the worst runner this world has ever seen so i wouldāve waited lol
i did a decent bit of walking yesterday
25 mins to the train station
however long it is from flinders to rod laver arena
did you go to tyler?
yeah looks sick
walked back to flinders (took a little longer this time bc my friend was adamant we were going the right way but we werent)
walk of shame from southern cross station to the bus shelter after i missed the last train for the night by a couple seconds š
oof
i literally saw the train leave the platform it was so bad
i got back home eventually though (after 3am) so its okay
the concert was so good though
i went with my bf and a bunch of my other friends
ooh rizz
bc a lot of his friends were going and he didn't want it to be everyone else except for me
TRUEEEEEEEEE
my girlfriend said shes going to buy me the lego usc venator
i did not expect that to be that expensive jesus christ\
TRUEEEEEEE
i think we're going to franz Ferdinand at the end of the year
im going to metallica in november and then linkin park in like march next year
so excited
OH NICEEEEE im going to spilt milk end of this year
oooh
i don't have anything else coming up rn though
i think franz ferdinand is performing with the teenage dads aswell
im hoping a bunch of people doing btv are also going to do side shows
i dont want to go to btv but theres a couple artists that id love to see live
dom dolla
i want to see turnstile and jane remover
thats what it was
id go for 070 shake theyre fun
if its the people im thinking of
id be scared of the crowd at turnstile though my back hurts too much
070 shake was the girl featured on that one kanye song
she made cocoon
ghost town
oh TRUE
cant be telling my girlfriend about this
also fcukers are already back in aus?? they toured here literally earlier this year
she went to the concert the other week and missed one of her favourite songs cause a friend was overwhelmed
OH NOOOOOO
i think it was lots of nothing
its fine i already promised her that id take her to the next one
i dont think she can even go to this she wont be 18 by then
id do anything to see jane remover live they better do a melbourne show
the angels are down in melbourne on november 9th btw
i'm guessing they'd prob do other shows around this time
OH TRUE
im so tempted to go
but i have my last exam on the 12th of november
and im going to metalica the day before lol
OH TRUE do you know if you need a good atar for what you want to do
i wouldve saved myself so much stress if i knew at the start of year 12 that i didn't need an atar LMFAO
media isnt an intensive course
like psc doesnt even require an atar
i dont think collarts does either
yeah collarts doesnt need one
i need to add it to my preferences
psc and rmit require a portfolio of your work while collarts doesnt
ooh interesting
they still offer the media course tho
isnt that what youre doing?
TRUEEEEEEEEEEE
hm ill add it to my preferences
i just chucked rmit in first place as a hell of it
i aint getting in
rmit and psc have the best resources for photography
collarts is a lot less intimidating from my experience and have smaller class sizes
i didnt get the chance to go to the open day for psc
i chose collarts over psc bc i wanted to work with people outside of photography
and i assume collarts has already had it
i didn't either but they have workshops in the term 3 break if i remember righ
t
i did a lighting workshop last year with psc
oooh i could go to those
their open day is 11am-3pm so youll be able to make it
and they have a photoshoot in the photo studio from 12-2pm
god reminds me i need to get canon to send me my lens back
my girlfriends dad offered to send it into his friends to fix it lol
oh TRUE
thats SO fair
if i broke my 18-50 i would only have two lenses that i only use for really specific reasons
my 18mm f/6.3
and my 28mm f/2.8 from the 70s
Restocking my minifridge with the third and final case of white monster

amateurs
Iām not trying to speed run cardiac arrest

Huh

If this is the best clankers can come up with in terms of content we're pretty safe from an uprising.
idk man looks pretty toasty
You could say they're just warming up with the advertising
that looks like a BCF campfire toastie maker mixed with a toaster element
As long as they don't reduce the server rack to molten slag that is.
i got 3 12 pack cans of of soda as a result of todays CTF competition

ITS FUCKING AUS
@vivid verge you see HMAS Adelaide is doing an open day in Cairns this weekend
UK is no surprise, a lot of our great grandparents wouldāve been around when Australia still belonged to them
Basically how it is, culturally/politically we often just lag US/UK in various ways by 3-5 years. Not 100%, but we follow the general trends
Sadly following in UK's footsteps in terms of internet ID verification later this year, few more months before that kicks in
No more little kids blasting tiktok and YouTube shorts in public places!
And they wonāt be exposed to the horrendous stuff on the internet
yippee!
Thereās so much stuff on the internet that little kids shouldnāt be exposed to
i agree but banning it isn't the right way i fear
if parents did their jobs right then we wouldn't have a need to ban social media for young teens
also the way that discord isn't included in that ban is crazy a LOT of kids nowadays get groomed through public servers
Discord isnāt included in the ban? Itās probably the worst one
i don't think it is since it's considered a messaging app, not social media
