We can all learn from this: sometimes you can just not do a thing instead of grinding yourself into a fine paste and, um, forcing yourself through a tube… anyway, Be Kind To Yourself
There is no Tech, Bugs & Rock'n'Roll today because @rendle.dev is in Utrecht and I am having one of those weeks where unless something comes with a paycheque, the threat of legal proceedings, or a side of fries and a vanilla shake, it is going to have to go away and come back next week.

ISO 12800/3200/1600, f/2.8/4, 54x1s

I had about 5-10 minutes total to plan things, get out to shoot, and then rush to shoot at a uni event.

I missed stargazing a lot...
Tonight I was able to catch the last half-ish hour of no clouds, and I was able to do some very basic astrophotography too. The pictures look alright at first glance, but I'll have to see what I can get out of it after processing. Not sure when that will happen though.
