I've mentioned the kind of folks you can find if you start a #filmphotography club. Here's an example, from meeting before last: the theme was stereo, so Nick made a stereoscope out of an aerial photography scanner and fabricated the support bracket you see in the picture. I seem to remember that he made the stereo pair by shifting the camera between exposures.

@atoponce If we're looking to be exact, that's incorrect. In fact, 16C equals 60.8F, and 28C equals 82.4F.

The two scales line up on whole-number equivalents every 5C (or 9F, which is the same thing). Thus 20C=68F, 15C=59F, &c., so 16C and 28C can't line up exactly with F.

The difference between C and F is the difference between decimal and sexagesimal; one divides freezing -> boiling into 100 degrees, and the other divides that interval into 180. Thus C/F = 5 to 9.

Here at Medicine Spring (it's a real spring), my partner maintains a garden with over 150 varieties of medicinal herbs. Their annual bloom provided the perfect photo project for a long pandemic lockdown. Selections from the resulting series (theoretically still in progress) will appear Mondays and Fridays.

The images in this set are best viewed in 4K.

I sure wish I had the energy to assemble the pieces of an interesting little article like the one just posted by @inthehands, but I don't, and I resent the idiotic character limit that makes this troglodytic form of presentation necessary. Are we not grownups here? Do we really need a ridiculously low character limit to make sure we don't go on too long? Do we really need to be managed like children? Isn't blocking bad actors enough?
