Note to Trump and Vance: Don't try to humiliate a man that is stronger and far better than you.
All they managed was to look pathetic, weak and deranged when contrasted with a man that has spent years at war and genuinely loves his country.

It's a lot of fun working in darkrooms, and it can be very rewarding. I miss it sometimes, but being able to shoot 1000+ photos and instantly work with them is pretty nice too.

Photoshop 1.0 was my first version. I'm old and started editing photos in a darkroom.

That relationship isn't going anywhere. Elon hacked voting machines, handing Trump the election and keeping him out of prison. Pretty sure Elon knows he has Trump by the balls, and plans on running things his way.

I wish I could get that depth with 2.8, it would make this much easier. Focus stacking is really the way to go for subjects that aren't moving. Moving targets... smaller aperture and good lighting.

Well, that aperture size is just the maximum of the lens. I usually shoot smaller apertures for macro, f8-f11, as it give more depth of field.
This photo is a panoramic focus stack of maybe 300 photos. 30 photos for each horizontal section of the photo, then combined into the final photo.

Took an afternoon hike at Flag Pond, a part of Lake Somerville State Park near Burton, TX, USA. Gorgeous day, but it's kinda barren this time of year. Took photos of the barren-ness anyway.
