@vampiress a family member had a little holiday home in the 90s that would've been somewhere on that hill. It's long gone now but this photo has me thinking about it again. And just seeing that train line brings back memories of taking a V-set up to Sydney for family trips to the zoo.
I am an absolute layman when it comes to the intricacies of photography but these shots could have been taken in 1992 for all the emotions they made me feel and I hope that's meaningful to you
@timixretroplays Ahhh thank you. :-) It's using a setting on the camera which brings the colours in line with, in this case, a Fujifilm Superia roll, so it makes sense it'd do that. You can still buy that film but it's been around a long while - those colours are definitely nostalgic for many of us!
Kenya is among the countries identified as having unsafe tap water. It is one of 187 countries in the world where tap water is considered unsafe.
Not surprisingly, the safest tap water is found in developed countries. Conversely, countries in Central America, Africa, Asia and the Middle East are considered high risk.
According to the World Health Organization, approximately 842,000 people die each year in the world from diarrhea due to poor drinking water, sanitation and hand hygiene.
@andy_f Yeah I wanted a cheap lens for now until I figure out just what I want to save up for, and that TTArtisan 27 seemed a good useful fit, and the best cheap AF lens I could find.
The African fish eagle is a large species of eagle found throughout sub-Saharan Africa wherever large bodies of open water with an abundant food supply occur, like lake Nakuru.
The adult is very distinctive in appearance with a mostly brown body with a white head like the bald eagle and large, powerful, black wings. The head, breast, and tail of African fish eagles are snow white, with the exception of the featherless face, which is yellow.
The ostriches of the Kenyan savannah have never been so prized: first by jockeys, who ride them to the delight of spectators, and then by meat lovers, their flesh being reputed to be healthy.
These birds, which can reach up to 2.60 meters and weigh a hundred kilos, can kill with a single blow of their legs.
The ban imposed at the end of 2003 on the sale of meat from wild animals, apart from ostrich and crocodile, has led to an increase in demand for ostrich meat, which is high in protein and low in cholesterol. Only the meat of the legs is marketed. Ostriches are slaughtered at the age of eight months to ensure that the meat is tender.
Ostriches have a life expectancy of 70 years and females can lay up to 35 eggs per clutch, some of which are never fertilized.
@kravemir@photography They look good as they are imo 👍 the only suggestion I have is to avoid using Velvia, as it does weird colour shifts around very bright areas. Classic Chrome is good for avoiding this, if you want a softer look, and generally, setting Highlights to –2 in the tone curve helps retain sky detail.
First an introduction - I go by Dyptre online, I'm a photographer based in Western Canada with a primary focus on capturing landscapes with a focus on natural and real editing. I shoot #film, I and primarily shoot #fujifilm
If you want to see more - give me a follow here I guess!
Almost two years after my first colza field photo, I returned with a specific idea. The original field was already scythed, but fortunately I have found another a few kilometers away. I've got some shots of different birds, but my favorite was the European stonechat, with a great contrast against the yellow background.
