BISHOP, Calif., September 9, 2023— Inyo National Forest timber management staff have made a special firewood collection area available within the Lakes Basin starting Monday, September 9 at 6:00 a.m. until the end of fuelwood collection season, or until the supply runs out.

 

She represents Inyo and Mono counties in the state legislature, and the incident reportedly happened while visiting Inyo county.

 

Another near tragedy. Glad this one worked out for the hiker.

 

Pretty sad story - please be careful on 395...

 

This all-female quintet, first made waves in the burgeoning Los Angeles music scene in the late 1980s, back when the Palomino was ground zero for the post-cowpunk California country scene.

Now having re-emerged as Mustangs Of The West, they’ve got a new Americana country sound and a record deal with 3 albums on Blue Elan Records/KZZ Music. Founding Mustang and lead guitarist Sherry Rayn Barnett reunited the group with lead vocalist/writer/acoustic guitarist Suzanna Spring and bassist/vocalist Holly Montgomery – inviting new members Aubrey Richmond (fiddle/mandolin/vocals) and Suzanne Morissette Cruz (drums/percussion/vocals) to complete the new lineup. Suzanna Spring’s original songs bring the heart and soul of the group together.

I like this idea as well. It allows folks to participate without too much extra work, but still feel part of the community.

Other contests could include a gear swap, maybe? I've got gear I don't use anymore, even down to APS-C bodies I don't use. I'm sure as the /c/Photography community expands, we can come up with more ideas on how to be connected as a community of photography afficionados.

No worries. Happy to help. I’ll post up something later for feedback on what participants are looking for.

Cheers,

Joe

Ah gotcha. I have done HDR merged exposures in the past, but this isn’t one. This is just a quick snapshot I took on my relatively new rig. For this photo, I used a Canon R5, with a Canon 15-35mm f/2.8 L lens.

I’d love to help moderate /c/Photography, as it’s a lifelong hobby of mine. Let me know what you need, and I’ll start curating content and guiding discussion topics. Cheers.

Hey, just saw this. Thank you, and good idea. And congratulations to kenvald on their cool photo, too.

[–] biffnix 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Thanks. Not sure what you mean by multi-snap. It's just a single photo I took from the driveway at my house...

I'm enjoying Memmy right now. My only gripe is that I'd love to see in-app orientation lock. It's the one feature of Apollo that made me go for their lifetime purchase. You could easily set portrait mode for reading while lying down (I do this a lot - browsing while prone on the couch or in bed), and it would auto-rotate to landscape for videos, but stick to portrait for everything else (articles). I don't know how Christian finally managed it (it took quite a while before he implemented it), but it worked great. The old Reddit "Antenna" app had it first.

But other than that, great work. I'm really enjoying the 'swipe to navigate' which allows it to feel a lot more like Apolle for now. Thanks for all of your hard work, and I hope you're enjoying a break from it for now.

Cheers.

This is actually super easy to fix. Buy some 1/8” silicone tubing from Amazon for a couple of bucks, cut to length, pull off handles, work tubing onto them (you can use water, or some soapy water to make this easier), restore handles, enjoy that Toaks Ti pot!

Here’s a YouTube link on how to do it:

Thanks. I couldn't upload all of the original photos, as some still error out. But, these seemed to work. It's odd, since they're all the same resolution (8192 x 5464 pixels) as exported from Lightroom, but some will upload ok to discuss.online and some error out.

Nope - can’t upload via Memmy on iOS or from my MBpro via Firefox.

I can't seem to upload this particular image. Not sure why, since it's within the limits of photo uploads, but anywhere, here's the imgur link to the image:

Weird. The image I sent to you is well within these limits:
