It's also ironic that the same generation of parents telling us to be careful online and "don't believe everything you see on TV" are the same ones that get their news from grifter pundits and divisive facebook memes generated by Russian bot farms.

But not before he releases Obama's "real" birth certificate

Thanks, I used Google Lens to reverse image search and then cross referenced the results with my state’s biodiversity page.

Superb 👏

Happy to help, but can you elaborate on a photosphere? Is that just a 360° panoramic photo?

It might have a different name, but I recognized it as an old school wooden one common across parts of the African continent.

And how! I was lucky enough to call it home for two years.

Bingo

Thanks! He was totally watching my every move as I opened the window and started snapping. That's why I love this pic. He's staring straight into the lens! I was ~20 ft. away with my telephoto 😃

Once you get into the woods the fog is substantially less. Not sure why. Here's a picture from that morning's hike taken on the Whiteoak Canyon Falls Upper Trail: https://lemmy.world/post/3812709

Oh wow! Thanks for the kudos.. I'm humbled! Glad this seasonal composite resonated with folks :)

Certified chill spot 👌

Thanks! Right place at the right time :)

Thanks!

Love this composition 👍👍

Thanks! Not much post-processing at all. Just a tinge of levels adjustment and a bit of noise reduction. It was just one of those perfect nature scenes I happened upon and it really caught my eye :)

Thanks for the kind words. Indeed I was quite pleased with how this one turned out. Right after a substantial rainfall too

Basic setup. Canon EOS RP + 400mm lens with a solar filter attached. The filters are relatively cheap; mine is made by a company called Thousand Oaks Optical. Processed in Lightroom.

This was just a test of sorts but I was surprised how well it came out. Next I'll try a 4K video and stack the frames with PIPP/AutoStakkert.

I’ll kick it off: Lesotho group 80 (Community Health and Economic Development) from 2013-2015

• Some of the grassroots projects I started in my village are still functioning today. By that metric it was certainly successful.
• I didn’t even know what Lesotho was when I got my invite. Needless to say, it’s an absolutely beautiful part of the world and I consider it a 2nd home now.
• Almost daily. I have two very close friends and we keep in touch on Whatsapp. I also returned in 2019 for a vacation/reunion and plan to do so every 5 years.
