[static ruin]

Someday I'll be able to join in with 12 apostle photos

Reasonable chance I'll finally make it to Melbourne in August, whether or not I can extend that to great ocean road is another matter

[sudden karma]

oh hell yeah

[kindred rivet]

Also in good news peeps Ive managed my way to Melbourne in Feb for a concert (artist will be undisclosed due to embarrassment reasons)

Any spots to go shoot (photos of) while Im there

Since Im already planning a trip to Lune with my camera, and the crumpler store to maybe take some photos and pick up a bag

[fiery island]

For the love of god take hearing protection, I did a Marilyn Manson concert once and my ears were ringing for days.

[patent pecan]

fucking car photographers and their verticals

[fiery island]

Where 70% of the shot is either dark dramatic clouds or clear skies?

[sudden karma]

[frozen lantern]

But would it be more worthwhile?

[steep idol]

no, bali is shit

[frozen lantern]

Fair, not big on it either

[sudden karma]

That Friday going to be a nasty one for fires, fair chance those storms will be dry storms, aka fire starters

[stray turtle]

Not at all surprised to see a few areas tick over to now officially be under "Catastrophic" fire danger rating in Vic for Friday, gotta hope nothing major happens

[ebon mango]

[ebon mango]

that's such melbourne behaviour

[steep idol]

[sour current]

Oh fuck

[sour current]

[steep idol]

hey now, dont say that. you know im in the ASD's list right?

[sour current]

Austrlisn signals directorate?

[steep idol]

[sour current]

What do you do with them?

[steep idol]

[sour current]

i’m sorry stored the internet

No wonder you’re already on their list

:kekl:

[steep idol]

[sour current]

as in wdym

[steep idol]

[sour current]

i’mma cut this short i’m just as confused at what i’m asking now

[steep idol]

[sour current]

Just curious, what things do you usually photograph?

[steep idol]

whatever appears in front of my view

[sour current]

little hard to shoot behind the back yeah

[frozen lantern]

That’s pretty simple though

[sour current]

Flight tracker and google

[static ruin]

@tall siren you'll have to be more active before being able to post here iirc, but another Aussie. Few aviation nerds here, so you'd fit in

[frozen lantern]

Ayo!

[delicate storm]

i haven't talked in here in forever omg but like

i realised today that my film camera has a roll of film in it that ive never used

idk what film it is i just know its iso 200

im excited to get some random photos on it and find out what film it is after im done LMFAO

i have a few options of what it could be

i think at the time i wanted to try a different sort of film so it could potentially be filmneverdie or mr negative brand film

which would be annoying bc a bunch of labs in melb dont accept either brand

it could also just be fujicolour

theres pretty much no chance its kodak

but i'll probably just get some fun photos on it with my bf and then find out what film it is when i'm done with it

[delicate storm]

at the time i bought the film kodak gold and colorplus were sold out everywhere and i couldnt afford any other kodak film

[steep idol]

crime must be really bad here huh?

[coral crescent]

We dont even have those in Alice 😭😭😭

Wtf is going on in darwin

But when I get home, there may be moments of nudity

[prisma atlas]

High of 43° in Sydney tmrw 😭

Getting a little toasty

[steep idol]

no

[woeful belfry]

Update: I'm just in my undies now

[static ruin]

Other thing also is it won't just be relegated to inland areas either, the seabreeze is likely to hold back, could very well push into 40+ towards the city tomorrow

Today and yesterday it's been spared by that seabreeze knocking that temp down

[sour current]

Every surface is 32 degrees in my house

I’m slowcooking

[prisma atlas]

Yeah that breeze saved the day 🙏 I just walked around Sydney Opera house and to town hall and it's a little warm

FIRE THE CANON

[frozen lantern]

ENGAGE!!!

[ebon mango]

I hear rain

i hope the same is happening all across victoria

nvm it stopped

[thin abyss]

does anyone know when the camera stores often does sales

jst wanna time my shi

[static ruin]

A lot of them have frequent sales, the bigger discounts are typically around end of financial year (so late may through to early July), black Friday and Christmas/boxing day stuff

[thin abyss]

my bday is in may

bouta have a spending spree

[static ruin]

Otherwise a lot of said frequent sales are just generic marketing and always some kind of 'sale' going on, gotta know your pricing

[thin abyss]

would like yofy sales jst be like boxing day

so like ~25% ish

or larger purely because taxes

[static ruin]

It varies per product and year. I'd say similar to boxing day, but again can vary and depend on luck

[thin abyss]

praying for a tamrom 17-70 and an a6700 to be like ~3000ish together on god

[static ruin]

Combination of companies trying to push revenue numbers for a financial year, more people shopping to use up any remaining tax benefits, clear out old stock, a few reasons

[thin abyss]

thx u thx u

will refrein from buying for a couple months

[static ruin]

What's amusing around eofy is a few times now I see a couple of stores in Sydney competing on price, see products where one decreases price a bit more, the other exceeds it, is fun to watch

[thin abyss]

oh yeah

ive done t hat before

me and my friends just having like popular items

then open up prices between compeditoras

reset every hour and see who will have the lower price

[sudden karma]

Was heavy rain over like 4am ish

[vagrant river]

Above time (04:00 AEDT) in your local time · Jan 9, 2026, 5:00 PM

[sudden karma]

Either that or it was hail

State of disaster declared in Victoria now

3 unaccounted for, 60 bushfires started yesterday

[ebon mango]

Oh no

[tight marsh]

Far out

[sudden karma]

I wouldn't stress about it unless you're in an at risk area, and if you are you should've already left

Rain and colder weather over the next few days is working in our favour

[ebon mango]

ya no im perfectly safe

[static ruin]

The state of disaster is more about getting resources out to help those effected yeah, at this point the worst is over

[ebon mango]

yeah

definitely improved

[static ruin]

We're lucky we lack the dry winds up here, been some watch and acts, but nothing too significant

[sudden karma]

The dry winds were horrible

Some places got up to 90kmh or higher it was wild

[static ruin]

Ended up with some smoke pushing over last night while out for astro, tracked it back to Victoria on satellite

Jetstream at ~12km altitude sent it right over us

[sudden karma]

yeah you can smell the smoke outside, and its sorta more grey down here. dont thing it affected air quality too much which is always nice

i mean i cant smell it my nose is blocked

[static ruin]

Couldn't smell it since it was so high up, more just annoying than anything for astro specifically

[sudden karma]

atleast the skys were decently clear

[static ruin]

Other club setting up in a different spot tonight no idea if I'll take the scope, be clear until that change comes in, then suddenly very windy

Basically an oven until then

[sudden karma]

seems to be 2 major fires at the moment, just hoping the one closer to the CBD doesnt keep pushing down

does seem like its pushing to the east

[ebon mango]

i heavily doubt it would

[sudden karma]

wind is pushing it east so it should be ok

[static ruin]

You'll be fine, winds are somewhat pushing East to SE right now, that shifts more northwards again later

Can't type today, and getting directions wrong

Cleaned out the keyboard earlier, some of the keys clearly not sitting right, randomly not registering

[sudden karma]

excuses excuses

[ebon mango]

up in craigieburn do you think people can see the smoke?

[sudden karma]

yes probably

if you look a bit north east

[ebon mango]

i hope the fire doesn't go to the healesville chocolate factory

[sudden karma]

valid concern

[static ruin]

That's why there's a state of emergency, need to prevent that at all costs

[sudden karma]

real

still a total fire ban too, cant even use the BBQ

[static ruin]

Depends on the type of BBQ, gas ones are allowed

It's solid fuel that are banned (well for nsw anyway, naturally check Victoria rules)

[obsidian jetty]

Can’t use the smoker in your house?

[obsidian jetty]

Are you a calligrapher

[steep idol]

bro wtf no

i use it for notetaking at school

[frozen lantern]

That looks like those fancy calligraphy pens

[steep idol]

tis not 💨

[frozen lantern]

I am no expert on pens

If a pen has black or blue ink and it writes that’s good enough

[kindred rivet]

The women will be swooning

[steep idol]

i have a curse which makes me be always friendzoned lmao (without even ever trying)

[kindred rivet]

Sounds like me

[steep idol]

lol, we both same same

[kindred rivet]

i sometimes even get the magic 3 words (that is not yes) that are not so magic (also yes ik i took a long time to respond, power went out)

thats girls in gen Z for ya

[steep idol]

i never even ask out and i just become friendzoned (not even mad bro)

[kindred rivet]

they even ask for free photography services, WHICH GETS ME GOING

like I am the most acclaimed photographer in my school yet they think my services come for free

[sour current]

What makes you say that?

[kindred rivet]

The praise I have received for my work + the awards the school has given me

[sour current]

but how does that translate to getting paid as a professional

Especially by your school mates lol

[sudden karma]

why would you make your friends pay for photos anyway

ive shot photos of my friends car heaps of time i just make him buy me food or smth

[kindred rivet]

they arnt my mates, they are the popular girls

who hate me to hell & high water

[sudden karma]

then why even care about taking photos for them if they hate you

id just ignore that lmao

[kindred rivet]

im forced too

my teachers throw me into jobs that i dont want to do

IM A LANDSCAPE/MOTORSPORTS PHOTOGRAPHER NOT A BLOODY MODELING PHOTOGRAPHER

[sudden karma]

ok lol

[kindred rivet]

I had to do sports day for free for them

no credit to my name

ive considered at the end of this year sending them a $1500 bill

[static ruin]

Entirely depends on the relationship and context, it can very quickly turn into an expectation rather than a one off, where you just get volunteered to do things

[deep cape]

spill the tea sis

why they hatin

[kindred rivet]

since they think im a wee little lad who is a nerd when i hang with some of the more popular people in the school

they also hate me bc my sister

who was the most popular girl at her school

[frozen lantern]

Yeah exactly. My mate kept offering to pay me for his formal photos but I constantly refused

[frozen lantern]

You can say no and you can challenge their decision making if you believe it’s questionable

[sour current]

Just say you don’t have time

It’s reasonable

[late parcel]

[sudden karma]

good luck finding stuff anywhere near the city

[coral crescent]

nah nah

[sudden karma]

its expensive

[coral crescent]

monash is out in clayton

rent is looking like between 450-500

[sudden karma]

ive found stuff in some suburbs around me so near clayton be like 500 pw

[coral crescent]

so 225-250pp

[sudden karma]

just depends on what you want

[coral crescent]

its just a matter of getting approved now

[sudden karma]

they are building a railway out to clayton but thats not ready yet

im going to swinburne up in hawthorn but thankfully theres a train straight therfe

parking around that area is horrid

if all things go well im thinking of moving out sometime next year

[steep idol]

i didnt even bother to bring a jacket

[coral crescent]

Sweeeeet

I cant wait to move

Also

You got any experience with computer shops there?

Im gonna buy/maybe build a pc when i move

[sudden karma]

Not really, most of my stuff was online but there's a centre com and few other brands relatively close that are reliable

[coral crescent]

Bet

How long is shipping there

[static ruin]

Good luck with PC..

[sudden karma]

Depends on who you order from, Amazon has their centre in like Mulgrave which is like an hour from where we both are

[static ruin]

Only thing to note with amazon is to avoid any 3rd party sellers, also some risk of getting someones bad return. Would only bother with them for PC parts if it's actually cheaper than pc store

Most stores will have shipping to you within a week, longest wait is often the time it takes them to send it, not the actual ship time

[late parcel]

I’ll need to put my lower control arm bracket into the new one, needs a new engine mount (currently leaning to the side) needs all brakes (no brakes at all, not just shit) wheels, seats, window reg, bonnet, doors and panels

And eventually an aluminium tray

[late parcel]

@sour current she’s quite beat up. I’m taking both panels, doors, bumper and bonnet from my car

Yeah i can see from this angle t at least those will have to be replaced

Is the hood not closing or is the bumper drooping?

probably all of the above lol

My car is completely fine apart from a little bit of structural rust

A bit on the underpowered side but it's nice and quiet

[sour current]

Some other brand

They look solidly just ok

[steep idol]

brawh

[patent pecan]

Primarily concrete battery + cord tools, like drills, guns, hammers blah blah

[patent pecan]

Fine if you’re using them for home use. Especially with the range they have. If I didn’t already have Milwaukee gear and batteries I’d buy all ryobi shit for camping etc

[frozen lantern]

We’ve got them for general tasks around the house and things like the fans for camping

[fiery island]

Making a great case for another trip to Canada.

[static ruin]

I'm still very annoyed we missed the peak, had some absurd activity... It's tapering off now, but with a good magnetic alignment again, very good chance we get something in Aus tonight

If I understand CME structure properly, alignment should largely hold favorable for a while as it just tapers off

[static ruin]

radiation treatment... We also had that with this CME, biggest radiation storm in a couple of decades overnight

[fiery island]

Smacking us with a big rock again would also spice things up.

[static ruin]

Apparently 3rd highest radiation storm in history.. well modern history atleast, as far as we've been recording

It was amusing this morning when the CME hit, it was throwing out bad data because of the effects of the radiation on the satellite

[fiery island]

Isn't there evidence of gargantuan stellar events appearing in tree rings and in Ice cores?

[static ruin]

Yes

In "modern" history biggest we have recorded is the carrington event in 1859, people were getting electrocuted using telegraphs from the huge currents being induced in the wires

[fiery island]

yeah, I read about that.

[static ruin]

Stories of people in mid to even low latitudes working in mines (so on camp), waking up thinking it was daytime initially, it was just the Aurora was so bright

[late parcel]

Milwaukee is so good

I prefer the Milwaukee impact gun and drills to the snap on ones

So much more power

[static ruin]

If the flux rope part (component of the CME) was actually a strong south orientation, there would have been a very real chance of Aurora visibility pushing down to the equator, honestly not sure if I'm happy or sad that didn't happen

Don't think it would have destroyed power grids since we're more resilient now, I wouldn't have been surprised at all to hear of atleast a grid shut down to protect it, it was an extremely significant CME, exceeds that May event in raw intensity by a decent margin, it's just may was much more favorably

[steep idol]

i've had nightmares about CME's

i hope my phone still works

and also

AC is just weird

[ebon mango]

i need advice - is anyone planning to search for the aurora tonight?

oops, didn't realise y'all were already talking about it

[static ruin]

@sour current Aurora definitely showing on camera, covered by cloud here, eastern Sydney should be clearer

Apparently is naked eye visible if away from lights

Or was as of 10 minutes ago, not sure currently

[sour current]

as it stands i’m not sure if i see anything but i am a little bit west

[sour current]

nothing, bit of cloud cover and maybe too far north

[static ruin]

I've only managed it in gaps between the clouds as a purple glow, clouds mostly blocking it. Has been seen as far north as coffs harbour last I checked

[sour current]

Oh wow

i’ll keep my eyes peeled

[ebon mango]

Hold on im so confused

Guys help

[static ruin]

It'll be photographically only unless clouds miraculously disappear

[ebon mango]

im in Melbourne in a metro suburb, and I can't spot the horizon from my house

is that the problem

HELP AOSM

[sour current]

yeah better get my gear ready 😭

haven’t touched jt in three weeks

[static ruin]

Just gotta face south and away from lights, it doesn't seem particularly bright currently, just fairly high up as a glow

[sour current]

hrrrm should i use my 50 1.2.?

[ebon mango]

ill have to go further away from my house then, my family and I are departing now for a little outing

[ebon mango]

fairly high up?

perhaps my street lights are a problem

[static ruin]

It should be higher up for you compared to me, I'm getting a glow about 30 degrees up which is a fair way

[static ruin]

Lights will make it extremely difficult to see yes, camera may get it

Apparently it's having a burst now and beams naked eye visible on Sydney, I got nothing with cloud, but it may brighten for you

[ebon mango]

luckily i have no clouds

[sour current]

Nothing but clouds facing south for me too

[static ruin]

Ended up calling it, there was a big substorm and good structure for those with clear skies here.. heck was photographed up at Gladstone QLD, made it fairly far north

[ebon mango]

queensland??? insane

got some cool photos from our phones

i like to think the edited version is reality though. the aurora's clearer

i'm surprised my oppo could capture it 😭

[static ruin]

Nice, atleast got something

I'll get my photos later, but pretty underwhelming when it's just a glowing purple patch in a small hole in the clouds

[sour current]

yep, we got that.

[patent pecan]

I’m pretty sure I saw it on Facebook before here

[woeful belfry]

ahh yep .. that's it there

[ebon mango]

huh?? tennis at night?

oh wait

was the peak at 9-10?

[sour current]

christ smeet how old are you to have a fb

oh wait i have one too

only for marketplace though

[static ruin]

I couldn't see much, going off the magnometers, there were substorms all through the night

Not sure there was one peak

[patent pecan]

Facebook is great for when you do a lot of business

[sour current]

icic

[patent pecan]

Lots of information on Facebook & I sell lots of machinery on marketplace also

[sour current]

ohh yeah makes sense

the groups and everything on fb

[thin abyss]

yoo this is peak

[frozen lantern]

Yeah ummmm I have facebook too

[sour current]

damn

I hope it’s only for marketplace

[frozen lantern]

Kinda just for cadets

Gotta keep an eye on the HMAS Cerberus facebook too a good mate of mine is there right now

[fiery island]

Cloudy skies and the occaisional bit of colour. 😭

[patent pecan]

@static ruin best websites for weather & tides for Aus you can think of?

Being using Willy’s weather app to plan a shot but wondering if there’s a better one either for web based or mobile

[static ruin]

General weather I just use windy, should cover everything you need

Has both an app and a website https://www.windy.com

[patent pecan]

Ah Roger thanks mate

[static ruin]

With an account can setup favourites to make it easier to get to what you need, waves, tides, cloud or whatever, most of what's on there won't be relevant

[patent pecan]

Oh rogie might be the move then

[deep cape]

@static ruin may be going to newcastle in august for a friend's wedding

[static ruin]

What time in August

Ironic considering I may be going to Melbourne in August, was going to drop a message if I do actually go

[deep cape]

i think around about the 12th ish? its a midweek wedding

[static ruin]

Ah

Would be back in Sydney by then, assuming I go to Melbourne, would be weekend of the 8th, with couple days added on before

[woeful belfry]

are you coming to deliver mny birthday present?

[static ruin]

Of course, what other reason is there to go

[frozen lantern]

I’ll still be in Texas

[deep cape]

i might actually try and squeeze a day in sydney after the wedding bc its been a minute and i have friends to visit and galleries to look at

[coral crescent]

im tryna scout photo locations for when I move

you guys got any favourite aussie photographers?

[fiery island]

Depends on the genre: Ken Duncan is the Thomas Kinkaide of Australian landscape kitsch.

[frozen lantern]

Josh Huggett!!!

He’s a good wedding photographer and he’s entertaining

[coral crescent]

oh that donny

yeah he's funny

I mean more landscape oreintated though

[coral crescent]

Cheers

[kindred rivet]

I love his shit, makes me cackle

[thin abyss]

guys im doing vce photography

is this enough

[frozen lantern]

He’s exactly what I would want for a wedding photographer, he’s personable and he does solid work

[frozen lantern]

Yeah that’s plenty, my mates who do QCE photography get rebel 18-55 kits

[thin abyss]

wdy even do

is it like alotnof study

like into other photographers etc

[frozen lantern]

I don’t know tbh

I was going to do it but it clashed with my certificate course so prioritised

[sour current]

W

[sudden karma]

I've got a whole list of the generic ones in the city if you want

For more landscape style stuff there's a bunch of reels that have nice looking locations I might go shoot I'll let you know when I find more

[coral crescent]

Drop them both i beg 😭

[thin abyss]

im gonna be the coolest kid int he block yo

[sudden karma]

I got the first one off some random website and it added it to my google maps I'll have to go looking when I get home

[coral crescent]

yeah no worries

Cheers gng

[deep cape]

mark forbes
chris round
sheridan lee
kate ballis

are probably my fav 4

[sour current]

[frozen lantern]

For wildlife I’d go Inger Vandyke

[coral crescent]

@sudden karma how long is your commute btw

[coral crescent]

Cheers

[sudden karma]

im kidding i ended up geting home at midnight and went to bed

lemme find it now

https://jamiechancetravels.com/blog/photo-spots-in-melbourne/
i believe its this

its got quite a few generic ones but some that seem interesting and id like to try at some point

[deep cape]

Melbourne PL photowalk when :>

[sudden karma]

whenever oliv moves

[deep cape]

first round on me!!!

[static ruin]

With the price of beer, that almost makes it worth airfares alone for a day trip

[frozen lantern]

How long does this offer last?

[coral crescent]

Gonna have to wait a little longer, im not 18 for a month 😭

[patent pecan]

Does that mean we’re flying down?

[sudden karma]

Probably cheaper then buying beers in Qld

[static ruin]

Of course

[frozen lantern]

Can I come?

[deep cape]

all are welcome

[coral crescent]

Honestly

The one way airfare isnt the worst

Like 300ish

[static ruin]

Can get return Sydney to Melbourne for that, not just one way

Heck time it right assuming you're happy to go light on luggage, can grab it under $200 depending on timing

[patent pecan]

Honestly yeah my flights a wouldn’t be that expensive, if there was a set date I’d probably almost be in

[coral crescent]

Christ nvm 😭

[static ruin]

Still a bit much for a random day trip, but yeah it's not absurdly expensive. Is with 7kg carry on for the cheaper fares, the struggle would be the camera gear with that..

[deep cape]

wear your heavy stuff and pack it away after weighing :>

[fiery island]

Fortunately carry on sized bags are pretty common these days, and many of them are labelled as such.

Though my beef with the major brands is how they plaster their name in big STEAL ME lettering on their bags.

The cases for some of my super-tele lenses are also rather conspicuous.

[static ruin]

True, would probably actually work

Have heard of people just wearing their telephotos through

[patent pecan]

I’d be weekending it since it’s a fair way for me. Not sure what I’d do the remaining days but I haven’t spent much time around melb

[static ruin]

Yeah that's fair. I wasn't being entirely serious, already have potential plans for Melbourne in August, so makes little sense to go before

[late parcel]

I flew fly pelican from syd to newy and they let me bring a 12kg camera bag as well as a backpack lol. They really didn’t give much of a shit 😂 but Jetstar was pretty strict

[sudden karma]

Jetstar are cheapskates tho

my sister was 0.05kg over the limit and they made us rearrange some stuff

[fiery island]

Which ariline was THAT?

[static ruin]

Never heard of fly pelican, but that doesn't entirely surprise me. Regional airline from google search, assume you paid a decent bit for the distance anyway

Budget airlines make their money through the random extras, pretty sure the base jetstar fare is a loss for them

[late parcel]

Fly pelican is a small airline based at Williamtown

[late parcel]

Paid 300 ish from memory. Was cheaper to fly from Syd to Newcastle than to drive to Syd and leave my car there lol

[coral crescent]

Every airline out of alice springs doesnt give a fuck

its amazing

qantas dont care if you're like 10kg over

[sudden karma]

the only good part about alice springs

leaving

[urban quest]

HAHAHHAHA

same with townsville

[frozen lantern]

@patent pecan you can agree with this

[urban quest]

ngl the last time I went to townville w my mate who was from there

he treated it like a fortnite lobby

[patent pecan]

Townsville’s not that bad

If it were I’d of left 10 years ago

[fiery island]

I'd be astonished if anyone was unclad on that beach right now.

[static ruin]

Took me a moment to understand your comment, makes sense after a quick google search

[fiery island]

Ever had sunburnt feet? it isn't fun.

[frozen lantern]

Can’t say I’ve done feet but ankles yes, not ideal

MH-60R in Sydney Harbour

[frozen lantern]

816 Squadron?

[woeful belfry]

it always seems to be around the time that the Australian Open is on that it gets melty

[static ruin]

It has 12 seasons, all of which can occur in a single day

[coral crescent]

???

wtf

how does it go

from 42 on tuesday

to 23 on wednesday

[woeful belfry]

Standard Melbourne summer type thing

[vivid verge]

816/725

workin together

[frozen lantern]

I thought I saw a tiger on the squadron crest in the last photo but then I looked again and it might actually be 725

[static ruin]

Welcome to not living in/near the tropics

[frozen lantern]

Maybe one day

[sudden karma]

Can't wait for you to move down here and get to experience it lmao

The whole thing about Melbourne having all 4 seasons in a day is true

Like 90 percent

[coral crescent]

man I'll take that over 1 season year round

I'm waiting on my accomdation to get back to me

[sudden karma]

Hopefully everything goes through 🙏

[vivid verge]

No it probably was a Tiger

The callsign for the aircraft was 725 so I think the pilots may have been 725 instructors but the ground crew and flight members were 816

[coral crescent]

Ill find out tmr, hopefully

[patent pecan]

How do I block everything Kelli Holiday related from my feeds

I’m sick of seeing that annoying cunts face as well as his missus everywhere. I couldn’t give two fucks about either of them but it’s all I see no matter how much I flag that I don’t want to see it

[deep cape]

good luck!!! housing for some reason has become the most affordable (relative to major cities) and accessible in melbourne atm so you have timed it well

[deep cape]

is it other people's feeds showing it or ads

[patent pecan]

Just random shit & pages that I don’t even follow

[static ruin]

Never heard of Kelli holiday

Probably shouldn't look it up to avoid advertisements

[patent pecan]

He’s half of Peking Duk if you’ve heard of them

[deep cape]

on instagram if you hit the "Instagram" header on your main feed at the top of the page you can switch between the normal algorithmic feed to just people you follow

[static ruin]

It's one of the things Victoria has done very well in, pushing towards actually decent laws around housing.. landlords complain, great for people who actually live there

[patent pecan]

Yeah it’s mainly Facebook tbh

[deep cape]

no ads that way

[patent pecan]

Maybe I can do same there

[deep cape]

unsure if facebook has that same function, would probably just block the accounts until they stop feeding it to you

or get a vpn and change your location to melbourne so instead of kelli holiday content you get matcha croissant pilates dog walking content

[woeful belfry]

toasty

[deep cape]

might cook some eggs on my roof for afternoon tea

[static ruin]

Just go all the way and reach 50 at this point

[bitter tartan]

https://www.ozdigitalonline.com/search-info/cameras/nikon-z5-ii-body-kit-box~80018014/?q=z5+ii is ts legit

[static ruin]

They're greymarket

So you get no warranty

Nikon will also typically refuse to repair grey market gear if it does get an issue. No charge, just outright refusal

So it's 'legit' with a catch

[deep cape]

worth also noting that australian consumer law does cover grey market goods if the company operates out of australia but they specify on their website if they run out of stock in their sydney warehouse they’d have to ship from their hong kong warehouse, which might make claiming under consumer law more difficult

[obsidian jetty]

Yall think is a good idea to switch from chem to art and exhibit

In vce

[frozen lantern]

I’m doing qce but I don’t do either of those subjects so I couldn’t tell you

[bitter tartan]

Ah ok

[coral crescent]

Depends on what uni course youre going for

[sudden karma]

well that was helpful

[frozen lantern]

Ikr aren’t I the best

[obsidian jetty]

Nursing

[coral crescent]

yeah shouldnt be a bother then

are you rural?

[steep idol]

i've been eoing this the lst 6 hours

[sour current]

POKKE!?

i saw that exact figure in an ad yesterday 💀

[steep idol]

so you did notice

+10 billion points to you

[sour current]

Check these out

Honestly decent value

[steep idol]

my sister has tamamo

[urban quest]

OMGGGG

[sour current]

is ts gas or what

[urban quest]

yee

[obsidian jetty]

International

[coral crescent]

Where from?

If youre international competition is way more fierce

Id keep chem and do really well in it

[sudden karma]

Also in VCE Chem scales up a few points, iirc my year it was 2-3 points or smth so a 35 study score was close to a 40

And for reference that's averaging like 80-90 all year depending on subject

media was highway robbery last year averaged 90 in everything but the exam and got a 29 study score 😭
and I didn't do bad on the exam either I got a B

Actually VCE in general just fucking sucks you have to genuinely be the next Einstein so do well in like 90 percent of the subjects

[obsidian jetty]

Nah I’m doing vce but I’m a international student

[obsidian jetty]

I’m doing art and exhibition now

[coral crescent]

yeah this too

but it tends to only scale up at high grades

mid grades stay where they are or scale down

so you have to be careful

[obsidian jetty]

so i have to get like 40+ on art and exihib?

i'm aiming for deakin rn

[coral crescent]

Check from last years scaling, i was under SACE and NTCET so im not too sure about the vce system

[deep cape]

lmao

lmaoooo

[static ruin]

lol wtf

[static ruin]

Pricing things for Melbourne, insane how much cheaper accomodation is there compared to Syd for something decent in the cbd

[obsidian jetty]

Still scale down by 5

Kinda cooked

Fuchhkkkk

I mean there’s one near hawthorn

[deep cape]

CCP? yeah they’re fucking great

[frozen lantern]

Got any advice on how to make year 12 not completely and utterly unbearable?

Why does Monday to Friday go by so friggin slow but the weekend you blink and it’s over

[obsidian jetty]

Which CCP you talk abt

[deep cape]

centre of contemporary photography

used to be in collingwood but i think they’re setting up in hawthorn now?

[obsidian jetty]

nah nah like a competion

[deep cape]

oh lol

[obsidian jetty]

not gallery

also

holy fuck

my school

my year 9 teacher

is a pedo

not joking

genraly fucked

[sudden karma]

do as much work as you can in terms of day to day work to reduce the load piling up

[obsidian jetty]

my school did a post as well

[deep cape]

many such cases

hope everyone in your school is okay and the teacher didn’t get to anyone

[obsidian jetty]

currently in one choose easy subjects or do like 3 subject a day

[obsidian jetty]

nah is outside of the school

but still fucked

[obsidian jetty]

if you can't handle the heave load of the three trinity try get like geography or vcd

[deep cape]

my maths teacher in year 11 is still on the sex offender registry i think

[sudden karma]

oh!

interesting

[obsidian jetty]

holy fuck why they hire anyone

still like

[sudden karma]

i mean we had a few weirdos and one of the most publicied cases of anti-semitism in the state but yeah

[obsidian jetty]

anyone did art and exibion in year 12

i need some advice

[sudden karma]

i did media but thats all i know

what kinda advice

[obsidian jetty]

like the the tones and colour ones for the exam

like how i can explain them

[sudden karma]

oh that is outside of my field of expertise lmao

[obsidian jetty]

well shit

bro like my school canceled media

personally i was pissed

some response awnser they had for the exam in 2024

[deep cape]

[deep cape]

guy at my school got done because he uh asked a colleague to look at his laptop because something wasn’t working on it and the colleague found CSAM on there and reported him

[sudden karma]

[sudden karma]

[sour current]

Yuppers

[obsidian jetty]

also no body here did art and exitibting yeah

i really need help with it

[coral crescent]

Pray

Enjoy it while you can as well

[coral crescent]

My yr7 teacher was smth like that as well istg

[coral crescent]

Oh this shit

Same thing we had to do in literary studies

Best advice for exams is to just spam the practice ones and have your teacher give you feedback

As for assignments

Try make a skeleton structure, something you can use on all of your assignments

[obsidian jetty]

so like english

[obsidian jetty]

you got any example that i can borrow some ideas for later this year

[coral crescent]

yeah sure, ill see if i still have access to my school account

[obsidian jetty]

yooh thanks man

[obsidian jetty]

can you log in ?

[coral crescent]

I can but its not letting me access my stuff, I need to get it anyway so ill just ask the schl

[obsidian jetty]

alrr

[obsidian jetty]

when you can dm me

i really need it

[urban quest]

Dam same with my hs

[urban quest]

Because not enough hs teachers

or OUR school

https://tenor.com/view/meme-our-now-gif-21036569

[steep idol]

wayy to fucking true, our former history teacher got fired cuz a student pulled out their phone and refused to put it back in. leaving alot of details off but most students would say dude probably didnt deserved to be fired

[frozen lantern]

Yeah it seems like more of us do then those who don’t have stories

I had a teacher who was accused of being a pedo by a bunch of people

[obsidian jetty]

I mean the teacher is following the policy😭

[steep idol]

long story short, teacher knocked off a tooth (unintentionally from what i've heared but not too sure)

this chat so ded

[frozen lantern]

Because some of us are back to school and then there’s people at work and uni

[sudden karma]

I'm just working alot

35 odd hours this week I wanna die

[deep cape]

australia related chat

i been thinking

i think melbourne is the sporting capital city of the world

[sudden karma]

I agree

[deep cape]

feels like a huge call but i dont know any other city that has like

• f1 race
• major marathon
• counting philip island motogp
• melbourne cup horse racing
• an annual test cricket fixture
• the grand final of our major sporting code
• a major tennis slam
• has hosted the commonwealth games
• has hosted the olympics

[static ruin]

It's definitely more spread out here, as far as car racing goes, we have Eastern creek, realistically Bathurst gets most of the attention, which isn't Sydney, just close

[deep cape]

a street circuit race that’s not inside albert park would be a pretty cool change of pace kind of wish albert park wasn’t a procession all the time

[sudden karma]

Iirc there is one

[deep cape]

didn’t they do one in adelaide?

[sudden karma]

We have alot of huge festivals for motorsport

Yes

And they do the motorsport festival over there on the original F1 track

[frozen lantern]

There’s also Avalon

[deep cape]

i think the sydney and gold coast marathons are the biggest running related events on the australian calendar too

[sudden karma]

Winton festival of speed, Sandown showdown, Phillip island speedfeat or whatever it's called

[static ruin]

You don't have one in Melbourne, or it's just not as big?

[sudden karma]

Avalon and Tyabb are quite big

[sudden karma]

We have one yeah but not too big

[deep cape]

not as big

[sudden karma]

Definitely not compared to the Sydney one

[static ruin]

Honestly surprised

[sudden karma]

We have quite a few

[static ruin]

I know we have city to surf, not really looked at what else there is in Aus

[sudden karma]

They fucking shut down all the beach roads and stuff everytime

Oh don't forget to add we have bells beach, one of, if not the best/most popular surfing beach in Australia

[frozen lantern]

I will go to Avalon one day

[sudden karma]

I'll be there

Surfing is a sport so I'd add bells beach go that

[static ruin]

Not that I'd surf, some of that coast has made me toss up whether I drive or fly to Melbourne, looking extremely likely for August trip now

Realistically 2 near full days I'd have free I want to add onto the start of it

[sudden karma]

The entire Ocean road itself is really nice, heaps of spots to camp along the way where you can just book one night and go from there

[frozen lantern]

Won’t be this year, already going to the US and UK

[static ruin]

I'd love to do the great ocean road, trip won't be long enough for that

[sudden karma]

Aw shame

[static ruin]

Would 100% drive if that was the plan

[sudden karma]

Definitely do it one day I'd say it's one thing to do before you die for sure

[static ruin]

Feel like it's the sort of trip I'd give a full week to driving, can be done in 2 days sure... but need time to actually explore

So one way do fairly quick, note places to stop, take time on the return

[sudden karma]

Me and my partner did a full week of it, sorta ran out of things to do cause we stayed at one place the whole time

It's definitely got alot to do if you're moving along it slowly along the span of a week

[static ruin]

Yep, is why I'm not going to try it with just a couple of days, not worth rushing it

[frozen lantern]

There’s that marathon along it this year

[static ruin]

44km, I'm exhausted just thinking about a run like that

[sudden karma]

I was dead after riding just above that distance running it seems like hell

[frozen lantern]

I’m gonna have to relearn how to properly shoot a subject that’s behind a fence

[sour current]

i haven’t shot any sports in months lol and i’m shooting a couple games saturday 💀

I’m cooked

[frozen lantern]

I’m not shooting sports, I’m going to the White House I wanna take photos of that

Random question for the aviation people here, fighters been flying around, do they usually fly without transponder active? Up near Williamtown

Assume it may be normal, just not something I pay attention to

[frozen lantern]

RAAF posted something the other day, they’re doing bombing practice at the Air Weapons Range south of Evans Head

[static ruin]

Would that involve aircraft from Williamtown though? Quite a range

[frozen lantern]

I’d think so

[static ruin]

Interesting. Be up here until Sunday, I'll keep an eye out if I have the camera on me

[frozen lantern]

3 Squadron is there with the F-35 so I’d imagine it’s just RAAF doing bombing training at the Evans Head range

RAAF puts up information to alert the public about flying activity so there’s probably information on the defence public facing site
