Does anybody know of a credible organization to donate to that is providing aid for the victims?

Eastern Libya authorities say 2,000 dead in flood, thousands missing - Lemmy.world

BENGHAZI, Sept 11 (Reuters) - Authorities in eastern Libya said at least 2,000 people were killed and thousands more were missing after a massive flood ripped through the city of Derna following a heavy storm and rain. The head of the Red Crescent aid group in the region had earlier on Monday said Derna’s death toll was at 150 and expected to hit 250. Reuters could not independently verify either figure.

Oh, and for anyone interested. Shot with my Sony a7iv, Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 lens, aperture f/7.1, 3.2 second exposure on a tripod. The relatively long exposure is what gives the water jets that soft, smooth look

This is very quickly becoming a very expensive hobby… Bottom is my first, a GMMK Pro with Gateron ink black V2 switches. And just yesterday I received the Keychron Q5 Pro with Keychron’s own banana switches that I’ll be using at work

[OC] Raised Bridges in Chicago - LemmyWorld

In 2020, Chicago raised its bridges leading downtown during the BLM protests to try to limit crime and destruction in the area. As cool as this shot was to capture, it’s bittersweet to know the context of why the bridges were all raised.

[OC] Chicago in the Fall - Lemmy.world

I took this photo a few years ago in Chicago. There were still visitor restrictions related to Covid, hence the barriers around the iconic “Bean.” Shot on my Sony a7iii on a tripod. If you’re interested, I’ve got more photos on my Insta @bluu.ig [https://instagram.com/bluu.ig]
