went on another walk with my IR camera from my previous thread. Even managed to catch a few rays of sunlight in between the otherwise grey week.

It continuous to be a lot of fun and I slowly get the hang of focusing correctly! There are some image artifacts and out-of-focus regions at times, but that is okay with this 2011 camera.. :D

The resulting photos also just keep blowing my mind, this is sooo good! Also there are some interesting observations, the concrete in the third photo does not reflect much, if any IR, while the foliage does. This is also something you can feel in the summer, while streets are incredibly hot, trees and grass usually are pretty chill as they do not absorb a lot of IR!

Although trained in physics, I worked in the computing industry with pride and purpose for over 40 years. And now I can do nothing but sit back and watch it destroy itself for no valid reason beyond hubris (if I'm being charitable).

Ineffable sadness watching something I once loved deliberately lose its soul.

It should be very difficult for a bunch of EMF volunteers to run a higher-volume ticketing website than major commercial companies, but we're not even trying that hard.

What a disaster of an industry.

seeing someone note that 'in theory, quality has gotten cheaper as tools have become more powerful, and yet quality doesn't seem to arrive' and i'm torn between going "the technical is social before it is technical"

or just "that's capitalism for ya, the best quality at the lowest of prices"
