There's one that folds up into a suitcase?? Damn, I probably would've gotten that one instead had I known about it. I am pretty much assuming that once I move out of this state, the flowhood I just bought will be a loss since it's too big to move with me.

I can't believe you found some CLs for $50. Where did you sell them?



Yes, this is the one I was looking at a while back. He ships to the US from the UK.

Yep, $50 and they were like brand new. The red bottoms were hardly scuffed! We sold them on eBay.

I ordered this last week to treat my basement couches. They have had a musty mildew smell for many years from a previous moldy basement. Gotta admit I was skeptical. I was wrong. Did the couches last night and the throw pillows. Today all of the musty smell is gone. No masking scent either. It works by actually killing the mold!


I would imagine this will work in many different applications.

That’s an amazing shot with a 16mm lens. In this age of cell phone cameras we have lost the art of what real camera can do. Today sadly everyone is a photographer.

For a long time there was an argument to be made that the old cameras were still able to do things that digital cameras can't. That argument is becoming more and more obsolete as the digital cameras improve. By this point digital cameras can essentially do everything that the old-fashioned cameras were able to and more.

Everyone having access to the tools does not mean that anyone uses them.

I used to shoot professionally as a concert tour photographer. I can tell you that my Canon R5 is insanely amazing compared to my old film Canon A1 program. Put that in my hands I can knock it out of the park. Put an iPhone in my hand and I have no creativity skills.

it's OK.
The zoom on iPhones got a lot better recently. There's also options to edit pictures in the gallery that I don't think most people know about.

I think that's how the Epstein files got redacted.

I think the digital professional cameras are really good at this point. I don't hear many people talking about their black rooms anymore.

Yeah film cameras are a lost art. I started shooting concerts with those when I was 13. I had a Canon AE1 my dad would lend me, and told me if I fuck it up, it would be my life. 😂

I knit seasonal scarfs for my hogg. Cellphone cameras are much easier to take "selfies" during the photoshoot. The theme of this month's photoshoot is "Jingle Balls". Ended up looking like this, minus the thumb.

Photography is such an interesting art. A radical mix of pure art and precise science. Whether we’re talking film and darkrooms the magic of developing prints by hand, the texture of grain, the discipline of getting exposure right in-camera or digital toolsets like shooting RAW, nailing white balance, and pushing files in Lightroom/Photoshop… it’s all deeply technical and deeply creative at the same time. Focal lengths that actually change perspective, real optical zoom, manual controls that let you bend light exactly how you want it.

Phones have gotten insanely good, no question. Computational photography is wild. Stacking frames, AI noise reduction, portrait modes that fake bokeh pretty convincingly. For casual snaps, social media, quick documentation, they’re unbeatable in convenience. You always have it, it’s idiot-proof, and the results can look great on a phone screen or Instagram.

But let’s be real no working pro is holding up an iPhone or Pixel next to a full-frame mirrorless with fast primes or a proper zoom lens and saying the phone is anywhere near as good. Not even close.

The sensor is tiny. Physics doesn’t care about software tricks. Smaller sensor means worse low-light performance, less dynamic range, more noise when you push it, and you can’t get that creamy shallow depth of field organically. Lens options? Phones have fixed lenses with digital crop “zoom” that throws away resolution, or a couple ultra-wide/tele modules that still don’t touch a real 24-70 f/2.8 or 85mm f/1.4. Color science and tonal transitions look plasticky under scrutiny. RAW files from phones are cooked and limited compared to 14-bit files off a Sony/Canon/Nikon.

Pros use phones sometimes. Street shooters grabbing candids, quick behind-the-scenes stuff. But when money is on the line, when the shot has to be perfect, when it’s going on a billboard or in a gallery or a major publication, it’s a real camera every time.

The “best camera is the one you have with you” line is true for casual shooting, but it gets twisted into this lazy myth that gear doesn’t matter anymore. It absolutely does if you care about image quality beyond a 1080p screen. Casual photographers who have never printed big or shot paid gigs love to say phones are ‘good enough for pros now.’ They’re not. They’re convenient. That’s different.

I can still conjure the smell of darkroom chemicals and the last time I was in one was 20+ years ago.

Man you firing on all cylinders here. Couldn’t agree more with everything you said. Nice to see someone who knows about this. I can remember when I moved from the 5D MkIII to the mirrorless EOS R. I used to shoot with two of those 5D’s. Then I bought the R. It just opened up a whole new world. I ended up selling both 5D’s and went to two R’s. Then the R5 came out and I sold one R and got the R5. Just amazing. If I was shooting the way I used to I’d have probably upgraded the other R by now. There isn’t a phone out there that can do what I do with my cameras. I miss shooting like I used to. But I don’t miss being on the road all the time and the long late night hours of processing so the band could have photos for their social media the next day.

You mentioned great lenses. My two workhorses are my 24-70 & 70-200. I do have a bunch of primes and my 85 1.2 & 135 2.0 are my faves for boudoir.

I don't know jack shit about tech, but if anyone around us wants good pics (of kids, weddings, art, get togethers), my wife always brings her giant Nikon. And it always looks better (than a phone or pocket digital camera), no one ever argued.

Thanks for elaborating. It's logical a lens combo the size of a beer mug has greater range than some keyhole. I always wrote it off to skills, not tools.
Compassionate statement, and well worked out.

Edit: confession, we just found out our NYE rave / teknival is a 2200 km drive (one way). That's about the distance we travelled this summer to visit three psytrance festivals. Time to look for an alternative :cry:

Oh, and why?  Gotta discuss something.

My favorite Hardcore band of all time is Bad Brains. No contest. Super chaotic, fun, and Rastafarian. Positive lyrics, insane shows, connected to us fucks totally! Plus, let’s just say they weren’t like the other kids in the scene at the time.

My favorite metal band of all time has got to be Between the Buried and Me. I love that chaotic mess of stuff they do. No other band has blended death metal, hardcore, simple rock, and poetry quite like them. I dig it.

Happy Christmas, homies!!!

Just be sure to ask before you randomly send someone anything questionable, I know it's comes from a good place, but surprises of this nature can have repercussions. Beside some return addresses are fictitious/not associated.

If this link actually works, that would be ridiculous, as I've never been able to see anyone else's music suggestions.

Sepultura after Max fucked off, especially the albums 'Nation' and 'Roorback'.

Agresión, a Dutch - Venezuelan combo. Really awesome people and they produced some sick tracks. The band members from Venezuela were deported and then the band ceased to exist. Boo Dutch state, boo, fuck you! (No tribute to cows).

Crustenunie, that's actually more punk/ grindcore and it sounds like absolute crap to me, but these people always perform in every squat where I hang out. Their name is derived from the political party Christenunie (christian union), with the slightest tweak that became Crust Union. Best name ever.
