Ryan... Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 I made the mistake of test driving a '17 Alfa Romeo Giulia TI. Now I'm hopelessly enamored with it and must own one. Red '17 Ti with the paddle shifters for $23k. 33mpg, factory warranty.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan... Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 God I miss reading Kill Stories on forums... Was always fun trying to decipher which were entirely made up, which were stolen from movies, and which ones even had "opponents" that knew they were racing the storyteller.

HipMF Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 Konica 57mm f1.4 arrived. There's dust and a little fungus on the internal elements. the focus helicoid is all gummed up and hard to turn. Wide open it's blurry as shit and has a ton of CA. What a crap lens. 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HipMF Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 This was my first shot with it. A shrub, literally 4ft from the door to my apartment. Jdesign 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelBlue Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 Well you got me looking back through some of my pictures from this last season. Weird how the imbedded image isn't full res, but when you click on it, it is. Also, @Jdesign I just realized your car has been my Flickr icon for the past however many years.

I just started a flickr account like 2 days ago because I'm bored and I figured everyone here is probably sick of me going on and on about cameras. The internet led me to believe there was some kind of community there, but I haven't found it yet. I'm too cool for the gram or fb; not sure what else to do with this stuff...

I can't speak for anyone else, but I've enjoyed seeing your camera and photography related posts, and I'm learning a little even so I'd say carry on. The shots lately have been awesome too. suspenceful, GunMetalGrey and HipMF 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your best bet for a community is either Instagram or Reddit for more camera focused discussion. Flickr is just a good hosting site for high res images. suspenceful 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will usually link to other more niche ones. Usually the larger ones aren’t great, but wouldn’t hurt to subscribe to it as well. r/Analog is a smaller one but posts a lot of good film stuff.

I may not know what the flying F you're talking about, but I appreciate reading about it and seeing the photos! Side note: can we talk about how great stance works photo's are? Their race coverage photos are something else. This is one that cycles through as my background Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what it is, but there is a certain something that makes their style unique. DOF is never too shallow, lighting is always great.... not sure what else, but it's very recognizable.

The Full Banana Posted May 18, 2020 Report Share Posted May 18, 2020 Finally got around to replacing shocks and struts on my daily, and threw some H&R sport springs while I was at it. Ride height is pretty ideal now. Not sure if I’ve mentioned this car here, but it’s a 2011 535xi sport that I picked up a year and a half ago.
